I agree with the rest of your post except for that bit. The MM doesn't have ECL's printed in it, it has CR changes. The CR +2 is quite fair. The DMG has half-celestial ECL listed as Class Levels +3. I'd probably be inclined to push it up to +4, as Savage Species has it. It hurts to lose 4 levels...

Instead of comparing two fighters in a fight against each other, why not try comparing them by their usefulness in a party? ECL shouldn't be considered a measure of one-on-one power. It should be a measure of how much a member will contribute to a party, which is the standard basis for a game...

Heh. I think I may have completely misunderstood what the original poster was asking. I thought Emirikol was asking whether you could cast a spell (say fireball), then do a charge attack.

Nope. Both casting a spell and charging are standard actions. The exception to this would be haste and spells with the Quicken feat applied to them.

Your pricing method confuses me. Why does 1/day get a division by 1, 5/day a division by 1.6, but 3/day a division by 5? 1/day is normally divided by 5/1, 3/day divided by 5/3 and 5/day divided by 5/5.

My estimate was around 98,000 Market Price, but either 90,000 or 100,000 gp seems to be fair to me. Just so you know, I priced the spell abilities as all similar abilities (with healing circle as the primary ability). Then the +1 mace was priced as a non-similar ability, so doubled. That's...

That is correct. The difference in cost is reflective of the difference of usefulness of each of the benefits. Masterworked weapons gain a +1 to attacks, which is arguably much better than the +1 to Armor Check Penalty for masterwork armor. It also keeps in line of weapon bonuses costing more...

The 1HD monsters are all assumed to be written up as a 1st level Warrior of the race. They don't have 1 natural HD, they have 1 Warrior class HD. Creatures with more HD than that aren't just Warriors with more levels, they're naturally a beefier monster. That's how I remember it anyway.

Which means you're completely disallowing Cleaves on AoO's. Since the orcs can only act once at a time, only one of them is going to be drawing an AoO at any one time. Thus, your house rule is a lot more restrictive than you think. By the rules (which is what this forum is for, House Rules...

Because carried and worn items follow different rules from unattended ones? Burning hands and any of the other spells you've stated work great for lighting unattended items on fire, but attended items don't get lit on fire.

Creatures five feet away have one-half concealment. Rogues can not sneak attack while striking a creature with concealment. Thus, creatures within an obscuring mist spell can not be sneak attacked. Blink is a great spell. It provides you with a chance to get sneak attacks on all of your...

Does anyone else find that a bit odd? Can someone attempt to explain the reasoning of a luck bonus to an ability score? I understand being lucky and having a bonus to your ability checks, but a bonus to the actual score seems really wacky to me.

Except for the passages in the PHB that state that all of your equipment is assumed to survive a magical attack unless you roll a 1 on your save, in which case some equipment may get damaged.

How would you qualify for the Assassin or Blackguard PrC's with only a single level of Paladin? (In that list, Paladin is the only class that can be taken at level 1.)

I don't know... It has me baffled too. Rounding up? Interesting concept. ;)

I think it's time for everyone to roll another Innuendo check.

Heh, wow. It's been a long time since I've seen your name anywhere. I only recently stopped checking your site for updates. I liked the preview, excepting the brightness of the highlights... I suppose that way no one would ever be able to be mistaken though. :) It's good to see you back, and...

Quicker than the Eye is an odd feat, as it changes how Bluff works (in conjunction with the feat). Bluff is normally opposed by Sense Motive, not Spot, which is when the not seeing would apply. A normal feinting Bluff against a Sense Motive would deny your enemy their Dex bonus (if any) to AC...

That picture was... odd. I'm not sure of anything aside from that to say. Back to the real topic though: Beautiful people are not necessarily charismatic, and vice versa. Hitler was a good example of an extremely powerful speaker that most people wouldn't have found attractive (physically)...

One-size-fits-all option the Weapon Master PrC from Sword and Fist. I don't think I've seen (m)any PrC's specifically devoted to spear wielding though.
