I agree that you *could* theoretically make counterspelling useful, but again I think it comes down to a question of style. I would much rather nuke the evil wizard than wait around for him to cast something. Instead of IC, Mastery of Counterspelling, and Reactive Counterspell, I would rather...

I already voted in this round, but this makes sense to me. If your class doesn't give you the ability to use the weapon, take Weapon Proficiency to use it.

I think it just comes down to a question of style. I'd rather hit a wizard with my Lightning Bolt than counter any of his second level spells. I assume, but can't conclude, that's why most people don't like this Feat.

My vote is for improved counter-spell. The counterspell rules seem so unlikely EVER be used. I've never seen them used or even mentioned in a game. I would NEVER take this proficiency. Honorable mention goes to: Towershield Proficiency. Why is it not included in Shield Proficiency? Seems dumb...

Simple Weapon Proficiency. I thought every class has this. Why it make it a separate feat? Lets not vote out Combat Reflexes. High Dex + Combat Reflexes + spiked chain is really nice. Some smart mobs might avoid an AoO immediately around a character, but the reach of the chain really makes it...

Very cool, mang. He's gonna be very creative and he's off to a great start!

Amen. Those are a complete waste. Reduce them to one. Make the designers earn their pay. Faerun books are filled with them.

The Unseen Crafter spell alone is worth it for the purchase of this book. Buy it now if you're a crafter!

Sorry: What's a "splatbook"?

What about the Chromatic Orb spell from the 2e Wizard's Handbook? First level spell that increased in power and effect depending upon caster lvl. At higher lvls it included a death magic ability, if I recally correctly. Seemed pretty nifty, until you considered that the caster lvl "limitation"...

I agree with this point in general about 3.0 and 3.5. I really like the opposed rolls and the ability to specialize in skills. I don't like that "elven chain" no longer means anything. Elven Chain in 2nd Ed. was really freakying cool and special.

Have there been any "official" non-fan fiction Thief-related novels published? Playing the game is like being in the movie, but I'd curl up with a book -- WITH THE LIGHTS ON. Anyone else feel more "aware" of one's surroundings after playing. I think Thief grants the Alertness feat in real...

I don't think the alignment AND class restriction reduction stacks, but its to the GM.

Divide cost by 5 because it can only be used once per day. Final cost is reduced by 30% for bard limitation (or wizard or whatever single class you want). GM's call, as always, though the RAW says its cool.

Don't forget the reduction you can get for Requiring a specific class or alignment for use. Lots of DMs poopoo that on these boards, but I think it's legit (so does my GM) especially for an item like this. 30% reduction brings down the cost to create to a managable range even without feats for...

Aye. Even if you have access to the feats, it's a real committment to crafting to sink those feats PLUS the respective item creation feats. The payoff is pretty nice though. You can make cheesy items for fun and RPing: Chronus' Cozy Cottage figurine.

Right. We're talking about the same thing. 5k cost to create is pretty steep. Chronus has four item creation feats that in total reduce the gp and xp cost to create by 50% so it's not too bad for him (GM's ruling on Eberron feats that allow this). Few crafters can match that however. 2.5k is...

Token's are one-use items no? I was thinking of doing a wonderous item with the formula being: (Caster lvl 7 x spell lvl 4 x 1800 gp for command activated items) divided by 5 for one use per day limitation. Duration is 2 hours/lvl. All of this is from memory, so don't roast me if Im wrong. I...

The Metal Age is by far my favorite of the series. And Deadly Shadows is dumbed down for consoles -- I'm playing it on the Xbox, though lock picking is tons of fun because you can pick it based on the vibration of the controller! I don't like that the mission levels are so small. They cut down...

For information relating binding elementals to ships, check out the Eberron Campaign setting. They have a Bind Elemental feat that useable for this purpose.
