I think that for the most part the classes are ballanced power wise. the type of campaign will make some character types less desireable or obsolete. thats where the caliber of the player makes the biggest difference G'nite

I know from my own gaming expierence that a weak player or stuipd mistake can get you killed quicker the a weak character - who if smart will flee if he can when he realizes he's outta his league. that said if you want to consistantly do well you need a balanced party of players using the...

the classes can be broken up according to comabt effectiveness, spellcasting ability, and skills/feats. at that starting point of 1st level the arguement can be made that any of them is the strongest or weakest since going first and either hacking/ sneak attacking or enspelling your opponent can...

Thanee, its too bad you are all the way accross the pond (its at least 13 hours from here to Frankfort by plane) you sound like you are one hell of a gamer. :)

again that depends on the style of play and expierence of the player. some players are stronger in one class because they know that class better and have played it longer. however it also depends on the level and style of the game being run. a poster above said a fighter is weaker next to a mage...

;) Im not infering that you are a weaker player my dear just stating the obvious fact thats been listed on this thread several times already . . . a strong player can do a lot with what might appear as a weaker character on paper. your spontaneous casting comment about the sorc only serves to...

remember that not all PrC's can be entered at the same level. for example the Imperial Crossbowman can be entered at 2nd level while you will be level 10 before you even qualify for the true necromancer. Again 3 favored saves and spell abilities with rogue abilities I feel is unbalanced thats...

Since the War Colleges of Darakeen are the premire training grounds in Ghelspad of fighters and mercenaries, the info would be VERY usefull. though it would certinly be within the scope of a Darakeene source book if we ever see one. as i recall about a year ago this was proposed, is there any...

After rereading the ghelspad HC book I realized that there is a referance made to the stone goblins native to the Island of Karria. and looking them up has proven difficult as they are not in CCI or CCII. does anyone know where I can find or have the vital stats on these ellousive little buggers?

In my expierence the rogue is often played by me and very often the last man standing. the rogue if properly flushed out and played is one of the stronger classes. but I guess the real question should be: "for a weaker or less expierenced player what class are they least likely to survive...

This is a topic that would seem to cry out for its own published work and would be a signifigant recource guide for building npc's and player adversaries. It would also be nice to have all relivent info an the schools, thier fighting thechniques and what tangible game benitis and penaltys they...

I think that the 1 hp per level seems to work well. it is a feat that improves slowly over time which I like and encourages those non fighters to pick it up at 3rd or 6th level effectivly adding a hd worth of hp. obviously its of more value after 3rd level since its retroactive and only fighter...

THIS SEEMS MORE BALANCED THEN THE 1ST DRAFT. I still feel that you should have them progress as sorc's or bards. also having ALL saves as favored is one of the "broken" elements of the monk class IMO. I can see giving them Ref and Wil because you want the stealthy aspect and they are firm in...

somthing else to consider is that historically the aristocracy had acces to the best teachers availible. this included weapons training. they were not all fops and courtiers

as I recall there was a hedge wizard class in the 2e humanoids book. I believe that they were limited to 6th level spells and had to pick 1-2 barred schools - although they were not specialists. illusion and enchantment were what they were the best at. I would think that at level 1 or 2 that...

do any of you guys use the fighting styles from the quintessential fighter in your game? if so what kind of impact have they made?

just a bump so this will be seen tommorrow. :cool:

right now the $2,000 - $3,000 worth of painted/unpainted mini's of mine are taking up 9 shelves of an entertainment center that I use to showcase them so that they are readily accessable for my game.
