Just go with the premise. It's like if someone wanted to play a truenamer, and was asking for suggestions on how to build the most effective truenamer possible. You might feel that almost any other class would be a better choice, but that doesn't help the guy who wants to play a truenamer...

It's more a theoretical question than a practical one, though it would be good for assigning classes to NPCs. But basically I was reading What is the standard ability score set? Are most games playing too high? and was wondering what would happen if you made the PCs play with lower point-buys...

What classes are least dependent on high ability scores? I.e. not only do they not have MAD (like monks and paladins), but they don't really need to have the best ability buffer they can afford (like wizards). I know the warlock is one such class; it is playable even with straight 10s. Are...

When one talks of freezing the ground, it is usually the water in the soil that freezes. However, if you wish to insist that not-molten=frozen, be my guest.

Here's a pretty complete discussion: Mithral Armor

Something that freezes ordinary rock shouldn't also be able to freeze lava. It's not like Frostburn spells are underpowered and need an extra boost.

What's the rationale behind Able Learner? By alternating levels you can stay caught up in rogue only skills, can't you? Or is the feat a prerequisite for a prestige class later on?

Say a greater ironward diamond is applied to a set of mithral full plate. The question is, what DR does the wielder get? The possible answers are 1. DR 5/-. The mithral full plate retains the advantages of being heavy armor, and one of those advantages is getting full DR from the GID. 2. DR...

Maybe rejiggle the storyline so Dourstone is the good guy? Mind you, I've always had a tendency to be like Schrodinger's DM.

This reminds me of the discussion about whether a monk's unarmed strikes meet the prerequisites for Improved Natural Attack! Before we get into that, though; if someone has DR 3/- (adamantine armor, say) and has a crystal that grants 5/-, and takes 2 hp of damage from an arrow, is the reduction...

What does it mean for DR 5/- to stack with DR 10/adamantine? Does it make it into DR 15/adamantine or 15/-? Or something else?

And some of those maneuvers have quite irritating limitations. No Stone Dragon maneuvers when flying, for instance! (Does being on a boat count as being in contact with the ground?)

Did he run afoul of wraiths at some point?

I'd allow it.

Thread Necromancy Has the status of this question changed in the last two years? There doesn't seem to have been a definite conclusion the first time through. Although I am more wondering whether nimbleness or twilight stack than whether flaming does.

You're still working on that? :p Armor/Weapon Options and Unique Armor/Weapons . Hope your DM lets you do it! (Halfweight is +3, isn't it? Does it do anything to skill penalties or max dex bonus?)

Nope. Bonus dice are never multiplied on a critical. http://www.d20srd.org/srd/combat/combatStatistics.htm#multiplyingDamage

Hey, you're the loot for less guy! I was just reading those two PDFs the other day; all the low cost items in the MIC made me think of your work, and I went and looked them up. What parts did you work on? [on-topic edit] I agree that he comparison between the greater crystal and a +4 Con item...

Reminds me of the lesser invocation that warlocks get- The Dead Walk. It is only available at 6th level, but can be done at will. One thing about the ability that you might want to incorporate is the duration; unless 25 gp/hd of onyx are used, the dead crumble into dust after 1 minute/caster...

That's good to know! :D I was just looking at the variants in PHBII - do you think Dungeon Specialist is worth giving up the extra speed for? I hadn't noticed the Shield of Blades variant for the Swashbuckler- it's definitely worth including in the build I posted in the AC thread.
