I'd say that with so many foes like giants, monstrous humanoids, full BAB classes, magical beasts, dragons, and abberations having so many HD, a good Fortitude save(by virture of dice of class) and creatures like undead and golems being immune that the Fort spells are usually the most...

Isn't Dungeons and Dragons a glorified combat game? Relax, this is a very solid fix and I'd much rather use this than the mockery that is the current ogre mage. Who says this can't be roleplayed? Fantastic mental stats and NACL make this a great mastermind. Its lower CR allows for tons of...

High Charisma buff bards can benefit from Fascinate+Suggestion a lot. A Mac-Fuimidh Cithern and is +2 to Fascinate/Suggestion, at higher levels some instruments grant +7. At 10th level 18+Charisma can be very, very hard for a lot of dum-dums to save against, if not impossible, while at high...

The thrallherd just means that you will be working with 2 or 3 characters, that is the main point.At say 13th level you'd have an 12th level manifester(still a ton of PP) and a 12th level character to roll with, maybe your arcane counterpart or whatever and at the last level you get another...

Not necessarily true. I like to have a Charisma of about 20/22 with a Charisma based character. So at 10th level something will have to save against DC 20 or 21 with a will save to overcome that. There are plenty of big dumb beasties and BBEG henchman that have a real difficult time saving...

I don't think it all that broken. Even the Aura of Dexterity isn't that bad. Think about it. Roll a 17 for charisma. 2 Points in it. +6 from a cloak +5 inherant Thats a 30 in Charisma. Everybody gets a +10 to initiative, wahoo! Lets say you play something cheesy to get a lot of charisma bonuses...

Yes, yes, a billion times yes. Its not a matter of free time, I don't work on the weekends, but I can never find a game in my podunk town. Hackmaster, GURPS, or HERO without an internet connection simply isn't possible for me. Also, my town doesn't have many people in my age group, and fewer...

I was going to say that, too. If the caster has some spells that require reflex saves with medium range or better these things are going to get their gooses cooked. If I was the Sorcerer I think I'd open up with some Confusions, Hold Monsters, and so forth. Assuming a 20 Charisma, which is...

With the massive size of the monster book the errata could be longer than most WOTC softcovers. I'd been awaiting these books too, I find it really disappointing. The class variants sound very good, though, maybe I'll pick them up for that.

Likes Customizability The thinking man's class. With forethought they are absolute combat MACHINES. Dislikes Constant pimping as the "n00b" class when feat picking is absolutely crucial in making a fighter not be a sucky barbarian, paladin, or ranger. One of the hardest classes to really bring...

Make it solely Charisma dependant as a caster. Ranged healing at 3rd level, say 30 feet and 5 feet for every level of Healer. Cast healing spells as a move action at 13th level. And instead of a ray ability howzabout this at 5th level Destructive Healing: You may cast Cure spells at the undead...

Druid. Good solid healing, can get away with a High Wisdom and Monk's Belt with Wilding Clasp and Natural spell. Put point in Wisdom and Con and you are set. When wildshaped and self buffed they can totally lay the smack down. They also have a few good offensive spells like Flamestrike. Access...

The warlock has almost all of his stuff in one book. Meanwhile, the fighter has a TON of books to take feats out of. And the feats are becoming progressively stronger and cooler in my opinion. WOTC has been creating a lot of stronger than normal feats because they have heavy prereqs so the only...

I would like to clarify my original dragon power statement. I do not find Dragons underpowered, not in the least. In fact, I find them to be needlessly, ludicrously over-the-top. The party needs at least some way for it to reasonably deal a serious blow to the dragon and spells are the way to do...

Spoilers warnings please! ;) THACO is the man.

I just started reading it and I really like the take on the Drizzt clones. "These Drizzt ripoffs are out of hand. I'm starting to wonder if there are more renegade drow than normal drow." "I know, we've already had 3 join our party!"

Dragons are way underCRd/overpowered as it is, the weak reflex saves and ray vulnerability are two of the only ways to combat one. At the highest levels they have very good saves, spells like Globes of Invulnerability to keep spells out, and nice SR. So getting one to succumb to a spell is...

There is no reason for it not to be a prestige class, past level 10 it doesn't really gain anything.Limited spell list and not being able to cast spontaneously are the two biggest sticking points. Edit:Oh, and why isn't charisma the sole casting stat?

Bullhonkey. Dragons are totally vulnerable to Ray attacks. Ray attack normally do not allow a save as the to hit roll is treated as the drawback, not a save. Also, their reflex saves suck! Even with Cat's Grace up a dragon needs to roll 13 or better or fail its save, without Cat's grace it is in...

I used one, a Magic-Blooded Aasimar. I got a +X Heavy Skillful Greatspear. 3d6+X damage, free proficiency, decent reach. Focused on Charisma and then Strength and took the feat Spellcasting Prodigy for extra spells. Took two flaws for Augmented Healing. At 12th level I was a total walking...
