No Charisma hit and 5 or 10 feet of extra movement. Plenty of races move at 20 feet, 3 of which are core, why not one that can move at 35 or 40? And this would instantly make the Half Orc one of the best in the game with another class, the Paladin, and make them attractive in some sorcerous gish...

The core.bard.kinda.sucks. Just like the "right way" to make a fighter is to beg and plead for outside feats and equipment the best way to make a bard is to beg for outside feats and equipment. Anything to make Inspire Courage or Inspire Greatness better is an auto buy. Jack your Charisma and...

But some are more equal than others. The Monster Makeover threads have gotten me thinking about creatures that aren't mechanically weak, but just weak period. Monsters that need some retooling, some beefing up. An admission of "All CRs are equal, some are more equal than others" and then some CR...

Double digit bonuses to attacks and damage backed up with a DC 40 Mass Suggestion or multiple Fanfare autostuns. Is that enough? I'm sorry that the Bard isn't a Druid with 2 more skill points and a mandolin but all these threads about how they "suck" really piss me off.

Summons nalfeshnee instead of Balors, CR 8 points lower than it used to be. Elite scores, a size increase, and 12 more HD and Balors will fear it. The CR for a lot of demons and devils were changed in the new editions. But yeah, a word on some of the demons and devils would be nice.

Inspirational Boost+Masterwork War Drums+Elation+Song of The Heart+Battle Rattle=The guys playing the 3/4 Base Classes high fiving you a lot. Melodic Casting and DC bumping magical instruments also means your Suggestions will be rocking the house with DCs approaching the 30s very quickly...

I go with the Ice Devil. Its a huge mishmash of abilities whose sum is greater than the parts. Its a total brick house and I seriously wonder if a core only party or party of people without plenty of playing under their belts could kill it. With Unholy Aura, SR 25, and its great saves it looks...

How is 200 damage "outfighting the fighter"? At 20th level the main fighter had damn well better be doing 50 damage a crack. At the least! And this is all with one spell that I admit is an abomination of desolation. If it is seen as problematic by you ban it or require questing and researching...

Anybody else really want to see what the makeovers could have accomplished? The discussions around the 3 makeovers were some of the most fun and thought provoking things about monster creation, tweaking, and design I'd read on the intratubes. I just bought Mearls Monster Handbook from the FFG...

Ding ding ding we have a winner! Wraithstrike past 9 quickly becomes ridonkulous for gishes and things like Battle Sorcerers. Lets say the BBEG is a Horned Devil. You tell me what AC your 14-16 level gish would rather be attacking, 35 or 16. For a second level spell you get a to-hit bonus...

Here is something I found pretty quickly. The money bits are at the start. http://www.nea.gov/pub/ReadingAtRisk.pdf Reading rates have been falling steadily since 1982, in many factors the decline is pretty large, in the double digit range. I don't want to sound snobbish or anything, but I've...

I'm 19 but I can tell you I didn't start with Lord of the Rings or Anime. That stuff bores me to tears. It was reading, and I mean a lot of reading, that got me into it and I'd have to say it is that way for the majority of the people in the hobby. The average RPG player by default reads more...

Just damaging spells in general have been weakened to the point that debuffs are a lot better. When you are facing multiple foes or one single bad guy who have hundreds of points of HP between them 10d6 damage isn't that good unless you devote a lot of feats or money into metamagicking into a...

Just Dungeons and Dragons related merchandise is a 30 million dollar a year money maker, it isn't going anywhere. Now if you'll excuse me I have to watch television, where pretty and rich people will be extolling the virtures of WoW and this season of Battlestar Gallactica. I see gaming in for...

3.5 Haste got a pretty infamous nerfing if you ask me. Its progressed from being the absolute shiznite by doubling attacks to being a solid no-brainer pick for the partial actions to being a utility spell only picked when there are a lot of characters that really want to full attack. Lots of...

Wisconsin to me has always sounded like a fantasy name for a place. I live in Two Rivers.

If you weren't joking when you wrote that I salute you.

Cerebrilith. Hmm, wonder what obscure 1E or 2E book that was in 2 or 3 decades ago?

Eric's Gramma, Leave the Thread Now! . . . . . . Buggery is screwing an animal in the arse. And yes, the Dwarves hear about that a lot. Thats the peril of having them always have crappy Scottish accents. I've cracked many a Dwarf bestiality joke and personally I'm a huge fan. Of the dwarves...

\M/ Droogie! \M/ Hmm, so the Rogue died, wonder why that happened? The DM probably feels like a dick about that level lag and I don't know why. If anything the Rogue should have got the solo adventures, "garnished wages" for the Rez cost and a stern lecture about the dangers of being a prick as...
