    Which class is the most useless?

    How? Isn't their main appeal that they are harriers extraordinaire and damn hard to kill? The monk, if you focus on hitting once or twice and jacking the saving throws and Stunning Fist DC is okay. Why it isn't a full BAB class is beyond me, though. They're actually pretty scary if the DM gives...

    Which class is the most useless?

    No one? Come on, bards are damn good if you put your mind to it. Don't come into a class with the automatic assumption that it "sucks", you're just consigning yourself to a lousy character if you do that. Paladin the weakest? Really? I'd like to see some justification for that, they always have...

    Which class is the most useless?

    I'm assuming in the example that the Bard was replacing the Rogue in the first example. The bard gives +5 to attack, +2 to damage, 30 feet of movement, situational extra attacks, a +2 morale save bonus, a 50 percent miss chance to the frontline fighter, and a +1 Reflex save bonus to the whole...

    Which class is the most useless?

    And core only then what? The Bard put an Improved Invisibilty on the Fighter and Inspired Courage before the Shambling Mound battle, then during the battle he cast Haste on the entire party... And the rogue sat there twiddling his thumbs, hitting one of the Shambling Mounds for 1d6+3 damage...

    Which class is the most useless?

    Rogue. They're one trick ponies because their main abilities come up infrequently. I can count the number of traps I've faced in the last 10 sessions I've been in on 2 hands, and the ones that were significantly threatening on 1. Sneak attack requires a lot of babysitting. Cast a mid level spell...

    Which Is The Stronger Character Class - Sorcerer or Wizard?

    He, at least its not as bad as all the fighter weakness threads. Who hasn't bitched in them? My position? Fighters suck, pretty much anything that doesn't full cast is sucky but the Fighter class is a double dose of triple suck. The new feats have made them slightly less sucky, but Paladins and...

    Anyone tried the raptorans and dragonwrought kobolds?

    How do they get shafted? For one feat they get +3 to all mental stats for no penalty. They're cheesier than a Wisconsin snack spread for crying out loud.

    Which Is The Stronger Character Class - Sorcerer or Wizard?

    Why does this question always get asked? Shouldn't anyone with access to an online SRD, 5 minutes of time, and even the most tenuous grasp of Dungeons and Dragons fundamentals realize that the sorcerer is getting supremely shafted compared to Clerics, Druids, and Wizards?

    Which Is The Stronger Character Class - Sorcerer or Wizard?

    Outside of spells per day the wizard gets better everything. Higher level spells quicker, 5 more feats, a better casting stat, and even though it can't cast spontaneously it makes up for it by being far and away superior with metamagic and being more versatile to boot. The worst sorcerer...

    It should be called Pizza and Grape Soda for the Gamer's Soul, or Crockpot Hamburgers for the Gamer's Soul or Chinese Takeout for the Gamer's soul, in my experience. I eat plenty of things when I game, not a whole lot of them are healthy. It sounds like an advice guide for a younger lady who...

    What ruins a campaign?

    Dude, don't do anything too drastic, like hang yourself. We'll help you reroll a new character. And the DM was a turbo beeyotch to you with that trap, die without a save? I had a word with her, I got your back.

    Drow - good for anything?

    Why don't the deep dwarves and duergar band together and kill these pricks already? I can see it now... 3rd level raging barbarians versus 1d4 and 1d6 candy asses. Yeah, that extra 2d12+6 HP +6 Temporary HP is a huge deal when it comes to battling. One good solid landed power attack from a...

    What ruins a campaign?

    How about A DM who can't balance himself between allowing nothing and allowing everything, or players who don't see the DM as a person, but a possession, and love to see whatever whacky broken horsecrap they can try to get away with on "their" DM?

    How the hell am I sexist? I love Spinal Tap by the way. Must...resist urge...to make stumpy joe joke in this thread...ARGGGH! You've got to be kidding me, here.

    What ruins a campaign?

    Flakes and frequent postponement of sessions. The DM trying to incorporate something "edgy" into his world, especially sexual or religious themes. This either works or it goes off like a freaking A bomb. Differences in power wanted by players. The DM might want to run something harder than the...

    Like an insect to a bright light I feel compelled to vainly try to contribute something and make myself look even worse. I think the reason for not using the word sorceress by WOTC is a load of crap. Ooh, the word sorceress is sexist but every 5th page in a WOTC book being a cheesecake pic that...

    amazon: Confessions of a Part-time Sorceress: A Hip Girl's Guide to the D&D Game

    But I am a nerd. And I like googling for pics of women. You don't want me to change my life, you want me to fundamentally alter the way I live. And I won't stand for that. I won't sit, kneel, or lie down on a comfy couch or futon for that, either.
