    Is the Psion class balanced?

    And apparently does. No caster types like to be in a grapple. Psions do have an easier time of it. Although I personally consider this an issue with other caster types having a problem that they need to work on. Grappling itself is kindof wonky though.. most creatures, even those designed...

    Help Me Build a BBEG

    If you look at one paragraph that is true. If you look at the next one could say that it isnt ;) Note that it says that if they already have spellcasting then it is automatically associated. Ok then, the giant doesnt have any so it isnt automatic. The next paragraph says that, 'if you add a...

    Psion power balance questions

    Sure, they tend to have better AC. Probably because they are more for direct melee than summons. So it makes sense. As for darkvision and lowlight vision, how many creatures on the summon monster lists dont hvae both? Basically I think it is the elementals, who still have darkvision. For...

    Warlock and Detect Magic

    First you have to make sure will is standing next to whatever it is you want to scan. Then you tell him to make whatever face is appropriate for that school of magic. Make sure you always have a spare will though, sometimes those things you are trying to get the magical feel for are dangerous...

    D&D 3.x 3.5 Spells - Far Weaker?

    Maybe they will do better with their next character, since obviously they want their current one dead ;)

    D&D 3.x 3.5 Spells - Far Weaker?

    How is he going to do it better? Does he have ranks in hide or move silently? Both are still useful/necissary even when flying and being invisible. one does not negate the other, generally it just makes the other better.

    D&D 3.x 3.5 Spells - Far Weaker?

    note that hide and invisibility are useful in different situations. You normally cant hide when you dont have something to hide behind anyway but invis works wherever. Spotting an invisible character is generally a flat check whereas hide works off of the skill for the dc. Move silently...

    Dovers LA +0 or +1?

    I'd have to say that unfortunately with scent and the bite they would wind up being LA +1, but such an incredibly weak LA +1 that I would deem them unplayable in my games and change them to either be worth the +1 or make them +0. I think that making them be forced to use their first level feat...

    Psion power balance questions

    I take it this means that my question earlier was ignored? lol I am really trying to get a grasp of what people feel is overpowered about the astral constructs but for the most part it seems to come down to comparing apples to oranges (summons vs constructs.. the summons have incredible...

    How to fix the Silence Spell?

    Of course there is also the flip side that if you have a person with a few incredibly potent weaknesses they might just try to find a way around it. Such as with grappling. If you are a little guy with no strength you had better have a contingency plan. Where the line between the two lies...

    D&D 3.x 3.5 Spells - Far Weaker?

    I feel that many of the spells in 3.5 need to be redone, some in major ways. With the way things are now whoever gets a round or two to prep is insanely good vs the other. Now, of course those who have time should be better, but not to the point of literally shifting the whole CR system...

    Help Me Build a BBEG

    I think that the nonassociativity rules are a bit hard to use in the case of the cleric class.. you are still able to wear whatever armor you like, and the creature may in fact gain extra armor types to use.. the BAB is medium so after 4 levels you have gained +3 bab, which isnt exactly a huge...

    Is the Psion class balanced?

    There are two such threads and they make useful points in many different ways over the course of 44 pages so far.. some of the points made are done well, some not so much, but everyone understands things in slightly different ways so maybe one explanation will be unhelpful while another is clear...

    Is the Psion class balanced?

    KarinsDad I would appreciate if you would attribute your quote properly. Why you put my name in instead of the person you are quoting I have no idea. It is true that the psion can use pp in a much more fluid way than the sorc can. Of course when they are both useing 7th level spells/powers the...

    Warforged of the sea!

    Sure, he can swim.. that -5 penalty might be a bit hindersome though. Better get some ranks and/or an item! As for pressure: I dont think that the 'forged are immune to 'water pressure damage' so it seems like they would take damage.

    Is the Psion class balanced?

    It is not contradictory, it is simply that your position doesnt make any sense. In all of your examples there are pieces of information missing and the end result just doesnt follow from what you have said. When something is brought up that contradicts you there are excuses about other facts...

    Planetar Angel, 8 levels of cleric (which should stack with its normal spellcasting) +6 wis item, monks belt, horn of blasting, +5 wis book, ring of spell turning, ring of protection +5, and other such items. BBEG's arent always evil, sometimes they are good that is highly misguided ;) But...

    Soulknife improvements?

    It is an interesting class, although I liked it better as a prc personally. I think the main problems with the class are the medium bab progression and the small amount of choices for enhancements. If either of those were fixed up I think it'd cut down on a lot of the complaints. They have...

    Too many long posts, but it is a complicated subject.. that is a good excuse right? ;)
