Your spellcasting progression seems very funky. Tell me, what are your design goals in creating a new spellcasting list and progression for the Malice Bringer? They may be possible to meet without a separate progression. Perhaps a table with bonus spell slots per day (like the table for...

I like how you're thinking about the defense (spells ARE good for that), except that you're pushing this to near-20th-level. If you can't get up a good defense before then, you won't survive that long. Also, any spell you cast is one less spell available for buffing your attacks. I'm not...

I'm gonna have to side with the one holding the ice cream. As I always do.

The trouble with retroactive Greater Toughness, Hurloon: who wants to keep track of their HP rolls???

It's a relic. You can't buy it in the Quick-E-Mart.

Gravity. These plants grab you and hold you, but they still obey gravity like you do. Also, I really like the line that explicitly reminds you of something that's true all the time, anyway: DM discretion. If you cast Entangle on, say, a single petunia, your enemies may be perhaps slightly...

A mount with an animal companion... wierd. I'd have just swapped the animal companion for some other ability set. Maybe a druidic avenger cohort wolf mount? :D I just realized: there's no reason why you couldn't have a wift hunter druidic avenger for your awakened cohort. The fast movement...

Those enemies in your examples appear to be metagaming, and they know the rules very well.

Ahhhh, so you're creating a Spartan. Well, then that's a regional feat ;) I probably am going overboard on the simulation. Hm, maybe the bonus against charges could apply only when two allies are flanking the feat user. Alternatively, the benefits of Reach Attack and Phalanx Ward could be...

Hm, perhaps the best approach to a balanced Powerful Build LA+0 would be a racial hitdie, coupled with a bonus feat? I just so happen to see Powerful Build as a very beneficial racial ability. The ideas I can think of to balance it back to LA+0 don't mesh well with a physically imposing...

I'm not sure that a feat designed to turn a spear-and-shield fighter into an effective Hoplite should have five prerequisite feats. That means a basic hoplite, fresh from training with everything he needs to know, would need to be a 4th-level human Fighter. Then there is the +6 BAB...

Yeah, the only truly effective way I can see to use a Warmage's spells to buff his attacks would be Arcane Strike. Unfortunately, though, it would seem that the Warmage Edge class ability (one of the WM's best) does not work with Arcane Strike. After buffing your attacks, of course, you'll...

Hey Nifft, where did that Elf Paladin racial sub-level come from? That's something I may have been delighted to know about a few months ago when I created my Wood Elf Ranger archer. It still looks like something well worth knowing about, though.

I've found that enemies roll well enough to escape the area FAR too often.

My guess? 3d6 damage, -2 to user's AC. The 2-handed thing overlaps with the greatsword's same quality, and so would do nothing ...unless it becomes a 3-handed weapon? ;)

Exactly, Hyp. I'd like to note, also, that I'm glad RoD make Half-Ogres +2 LA, but I'm dismayed that I didn't get a personal, monogramed notice to tell me about it. Oh well. By the way, why would a single sourcebook completely rewrite Savage Species for all perpetuity? Is RoD to Savage...

They have boosted Strength, and one spell-like ability (although having player's choice is a little unusual) I think this isn't too overboard. Of course I think Kobolds are great sorcerers without any boosts at all, but strength and a single 1st-level spell once per day won't break a sorcerer...

This question is slghtly off-topic, but where could I find an Armor as Damage Conversion write-up?

There's the beloved Half-ogre, with his +1 LA.

Throw in some psionics, start out as a Goliath, and you're on the right track. Yes, badass. Of course, at some point it becomes excessive, then it's just silly.
