Some say yes, some say no. If we are not careful this will degenerate into another slug fest over rules interpretation. There was a recent thread on this issue

31 regular (10 + 6 [dex] + 3 [wis] + 2 [ring] + 2 [monk] + 8 [bracers; just got em after facing a death warden or somesuch], 32 with boots of speed. The fighter/ranger is about 28.

The monk that I am playing actually has been able to stay in the front thus far. I did roll good stats, and got to choose some items since he started at higher level (replaced a "failed" character). I went the way of finesse (cuts down on damage, but dex gets to play double duty) or strength...

Bracers are bonus squared x 1000. RIng of prtection and amulet of NA are both bonus squared x 2000. The bracers are priced more reasonably than the others. It doesn't really matter because the character found them so wasn't given a choice. The over priced item is the amulet of mighty...

The +18 is +9 (BAB), +1 (weapon focus), +6 (dex; weapon finesse, 18 natural, +4 magic), +2 (amulet of natural fists). The items are well within the wealth limits of a 12th level character.

So a lot of people allude to monks being underpowered, but I guess I don't see it. I am currently playing a monk at 12th level who seems to be doing OK. He has the best AC in the group (thanks to a lucky find of some bracers) and, while he doesn't have a super high attack bonus, he gets 4...

Actually, almost the entire content is posted; pretty much the only thing I have noticed being excluded is a few monsters. I own the books and most seem to still buy them regardless of the SRD; it wouldn't be the same withougt a ratty, overused sourcebook to flip through...

So, I always find it strange that WoTC are worried that someone might copy their monsters. I mean yes intellectual property is important and the open gaming concept is great, but why not post Beholder stats with the SRD? Is it really going to ruin the company if I can look up on the web and...

So I am playing a sorc in a short campaign who just hit 16th level. He is a transmuter/necromancer and will orbably take polymorph any object as his 8th level spell. I haven't played a lot of spell casters (especially 16th level). So the question I have is what are the nuances of this spell...

Also at about 1 foot long, with a 2 foot wingspan, there isn't going to be a space on the back that the stirge can be in and not be reached. I'm not very flexible, but I can reach pretty much everywhere on my back and can certainly grab somehting a foot long hanging onto it. The exception...

How did you generate the ability scores? It seems a little strange to put your highest into charisma. You may want to move the 17 to wisdom and put the 16 in con. The low score can go in charisma (hey, he grew up in the woods and may not relate to people well) or even strength. If you take...

The problem with this item is the cost. At bonus squared times six, it get pricey quick...

Personally, I wouls swith the dex and wisdom; with the low strength you should go the weapon finesse route, and dex will play double duty on defense and offense. Use your inherent increases for dex to further increase this. maybe go the stunning fist route, rather than grappling, pick up...

How about Ranger 2/fighter 4/dervish x Dervish is a good PrC for a nimble fighter type you get a speed anhancement, a binus to AC in light armor and get to treat scimitars as light weapons. Take the TWF style for ranger and add weapon focus and spec (scimitar). Once you start on dervish you...

That is correct, but it applies to racial hit dice only. So level based hit dice are as normal.

Can one use TWF and have the off-hand attack be a touch attack? Say a charcter weilding a sword in on hand casts a touch spell, they hold the spell that roud, then attack the next round using the sword in the main hand and the touch as the off hand attack. Is this allowable under the RAW...

The wisdom to AC bonus only works if you aren't wearing armor, which leads to the second point... I think you may be misreading the armor and weapon proficiency portion. For a pestige class with this wording it means that you don't gain any additional weapon or armor proficiencies; you still...

yeah, I was weighing in with my support, although I went back and I like he Sorc1/bard4/x quite a bit also. Unfortunately, we use core only, so no wraithstrike :\

I pesonally like the Sorc4/barb1/DDx build. It gives 2nd level spells, access to true strike (use with power attack for a big hit), shield, and blur at second level; plus you have a 4th level caster ability. You lose 1 BAB vs the sorc1/barb4 or sorc1/barb2/ftr2 builds. You get a better (IMHO)...

I agree, balance is important; and most core classes are decently balanced. It is the microscopic analysis with the sole purpose of getting every possible bit of benefit out of class combinations, while avaoiding all drawbacks, that gets to me (I'm probably guilty somewhat too). It just seems...
