The grappled character has more pressing issues than being stunned for a round, like being in a ginormous creature's maw. Secondly, its a lot more likely for the PC to pass a will save then some dumb as dog turds and twice as ugly grappling hosebeast to pass it. It seems really stupid and...

Not using a magical musical instrument I believe really waters down the bard. Oratory is no match for an extra 4 or 5 spells a day, massive bonuses to your Fascinate/Suggestion combos, and other mechanical goodies. Hell, war drums don't even cost 300 GP and they give +1 to attack and damage when...

Gnome bards NEVER die. Its true. Bucklers and light armor along with the small size and constitution bonus means they have nice ACs. I like to go Charisma, Con, Dex, everything else with a gnome so they have good HP. Max HP and a 16 Con means 9 HP, that isn't too bad for a low level character.

As said before, Color Spray is everything that Sleep wants to be, but isn't. Also good as a quickened spell to target a will save to get a buddy out of a grapple. You can get this in the DC 14+ range pretty easily at low levels and most of your foes will be kissing their butts goodbye when you...

Races of the Fey is a book that needs to be printed, they are a criminally underused part of Dungeons and Dragons. My hit list Aberrations Monstrous Humanoids Magical Beasts Outsiders(not necessarily demons all the time, Slaadi, Xorn, etc)

The Bards Suck threads are almost as bad as the Fighter Sucks threads. WOTC has been bending over backwards giving Bards great feats like Song of the Heart and Melodic Casting, great spells, great magical musical instruments, and strong flavorful prestige classes like the Warchanter and Sublime...

Confessions: I'm into rap almost as much as metal and I'm a huge Wu-Tang Clan fan. If it is Wu-Tang clan related, I got it. I'm the whitest guy on the face of the earth and its strange for people to see Only Built 4 Cuban Linx sandwhiched lovingly between Speak English or Die and Swallowed in...

You'd probably like Cynic, Necrophagist, Gorod or Spawn of Possession if you like these guys. Just some suggestions.

SWEET CHRIST MAN! LET IT GO ALREADY!!!! I'm sick of all your bloody trolling about bards, Firebeetle. The class is fine. It is balanced against the rogue. The only person who seems to have a problem with the class is YOU. I didn't want to get personal with it but every other month you pull this...

The ape totem isn't bad. Intimidate bonus, Power attack(A feat that almost all barbarians take, this might as well be a free feat) and climb at 30 feet instead of fast movement, trapsense, and uncanny dodge. That doesn't seem so bad. A grappling Barbarian would almost certainly want to take the...

Weapon Focus Weapon Specialization And Weapon mastery ought to be free for the class. Here is how I would do it. Ist +1 to hit and 1 off the critical, 4th +2 damage, 8 +1 to hit and Weapon Mastery(As melee weapon mastery, may choose it with a ranged weapon), another 1 off the critical at 10...

I'd take out Humans. They don't have a lot of flavor, they're a bit too strong, and in the world of the fantastical it blows that the go to option for everyone from the noob to the lazy to the munchkin is something as boring as the human. Then halflings. It doesn't make a whole lot of sense for...

Good job with the Half-Orc fix, Mighty Halfling. I really like it.

Try this out... Instead of a bonus to Strength give them a bonus to Constitution. Give them a penalty to Wisdom instead of the penalty to strength(A warrior culture would value mental strength more than inner strength) You also said they're very hardy, so give them Run, Endurance, and Diehard...

I don't see how it doesn't hit that often, though. 7/2 base, +2 weapon from class abilities, Weapon Focus and Greater Weapon Focus, +11/+6 to hit. Not too shabby! Then throw on some strength and buffing and its not all that bad. It also has a d10 and can afford to focus on only 2 stats, Strength...

Full BAB, allow any core enchantment to effect the blade. Problem solved. I know the question has been asked before by others but please, allow me to ask it again:What on Pelor's green earth made WOTC give a class who is all about hand to hand combat, who has its entire worth and all of its...

Summoning Elementals against Mind Flayers is one of my go-to tactics when facing them, never thought to use them together, though.

No way in hell are casters gimped. Sure, evokers can't do as much damage but a caster can, with one spell, kill or render helpless numerous foes. Slay Living or drop a foe to -10, same difference.

You can have a group crying uncle with Shambling Mounds or Flesh Golems with Shocker Lizards and Scintillating Spheres. Its like the Iron Golem tricks, except you can pull it off with groups in the low double digits. Hit the group with an Empowered or Maximized Scintillating Sphere when the...

Damn skippy. You simply cannot make a high Dexterity monk worth it in my experience. Strange as it is, Strength is your key stat, very easily, followed by Wisdom or Constitution, and call me crazy, but usually Constitution should get the nod. Charisma and Dexterity are your dump stats...
