    D&D Archetypes that are missing from the core books?

    i think that all of these suggestions can be constructed from the base classes, npc classes, and prestige classes: battlemage -- eldritch knight (doesn't have full bab or spellcasting for balance reasons). assassin -- rogue. duelist -- rogue, fighter with weapon finesse, or multiclassed...

    do clerics work as tanks?

    allo can a pure cleric (no multiclassing), in the absence of a fighter-type, make an effective tank? what about a multiclassed cleric for whom spellcasting is a strength (such as cleric/monk/sacred fist)? it works for durkon (order of the stick), but i'd like to know if anyone has seen it...

    Immortality/Fountain of Youth spell

    i think it's a way of limiting the level of power that PCs can reach. if a PC can live forever (or a very long time), it gives that character years and years to keep adventuring and leveling up. eventually, the character could conceivably surpass the levels of the most powerful beings in the...

    Paladins - likes and dislikes?

    like- "knight in shining armor" concept aura of courage challenge of assigning ablity scores, since most are useful dislike- disease immunity. make them immune to ALL diseases, magical or not (this goes for monks also). cure disease x/week is too hard to keep track of. just make it 1/day with...

    Attack of Opportunity -- does it deserve to survive to v.4?

    Counterspelling -- Does It Work?

    i did it a number of times with a wizard... once or twice by casting the exact spell, numerous times by casting dispel magic (and getting a good roll on the caster level check). counterspelling rocks :cool: messy

    Druids - Likes and Dislikes?

    like- spontaneous casting- makes sense and gives druids some flexibility wild shape (but see below) mix of offensive, defensive, and utility spells flavor dislike- wild shape (and polymorph, polymorph any object, etc.) needs to be fixed once and for all so that it's balanced and makes...

    Arcane Disciple - this can't be right!

    so, if bob the sorcerer has a 16 wisdom and takes arcane disciple (healing), when he reaches level 12, he could cast CLW, CMW, CSW, CCW, Mass CLW, and Heal once each per day? this seems pretty powerful for a class that is not supposed to be able to heal. messy :)

    Arcane Disciple - this can't be right!

    ahhh... now i see. thank you, caliban :cool: still, it doesn't seem right to give sorcerers and wizards access to healing... i thought this was a big no-no in terms of class balance :confused: messy
