    Early Ultimate Magus, Yes?

    Is this meant as a rebuttal, or as support? I have no idea.

    Book of Nine Swords -- okay?

    If the bathwater is dirty, and the baby is a mongoloid, and diseased, and is on lifesupport, I support this action. And actually, this sounds quite similar to the fighter, the retarded red headed stepchild of classes in D&D.

    Book of Nine Swords -- okay?

    White Raven Tactics is pretty crazy. Its up there with spells like Fireball, Magic Missile, and the like as "The very best of their ilk, bordering on broken" and in its case, it is probably closer to Wraithstrike than Magic Missile. Iron heart surge cant remove conditions that are mental, as it...

    Should Prestige Classes Advance Spellcasting?

    Dread Necromancer is impossible to leave, even for a 1 level dip. Any movement delays your progress to Lich into epic levels.

    Should Prestige Classes Advance Spellcasting?

    I come from 1e, and so I'm even less comfortable in one class. I was ALWAYS a fighter/mage or a fighter/mage/thief in 1e. Maybe I was one of the weird ones who was always an elf fighter/mage and sometimes tacked thief on...but 1e had TONS of multiclassing, it isnt new to 3e.

    Early Ultimate Magus, Yes?

    Dunno if you are aware, but this is the rules forum, not the "I think the designers didnt intend this, but totally forgot about all the feats in Complete Arcane, which is the total precursor book to this one" forum. I have not been to this other forum, but here in the rules forum, using...

    Early Ultimate Magus, Yes?

    My post shows that this PrC doesnt kill your access to higher level spells

    Early Ultimate Magus, Yes?

    It says that in the table. In the text it explicitly states Caster Level. Text always trumps table.

    Early Ultimate Magus, Yes?

    Specifically, it isnt picked for Wizard, and the only Caster level above your HD is Wizard, so it has no effect there. All it really does is lets you get level increases in wizard rather than sorcerer, thus allowing you to lose only two caster levels instead of 4, and to cast 9th level spells...

    No Second Edition Love?

    1e and 2e caused enormously more rules arguments than 3.5. Rules that arent clear, or don't exist, and then DM and players all have their own idea of whats logical. I've had my swashbuckling fighter told he cant jump, cant fight on stairs, falls down on a boat due to high seas(swashbuckling...

    Worst Stat Rolls You Have Seen

    I am about to start a campaign with a rogue, that has the following stats: Str 9 Dex 9 Con 14 Int 15 Wis 6 Cha 13 Possibly the worst character ever, that doesnt qualify for a reroll. Point Buy Value: 18. Best part: One of the other PC's rolled: 17, 16, 15, 13, 11, 10. My current plan: spend...

    What is your icon?

    In comical news, I always saw Aaron L's as a fat wizard in a robe, and now, I see its Thanos, and I clearly see it, and I was like, WOW! Thats not a fat wizard in a robe, its Thanos! Mine is a picture of Anastasia Winterheart, Paladin of Freedom. My face to face D&D character, adventuring in...

    Meta-Mechanics Worth Stealing

    We didnt roll for our background options, we picked them, much like feats. We also used the "High ability score special abilities" from RM Companion 3. Stuff like a +30 presence score allowing you to indimidate better, +30 strength giving you bonuses with weapon types, etc.

    The "orc baby" paladin problem

    I admit it. I'm both morally bankrupt, and Lawful-Evil in real life. Doesn't mean I don't know a properly guarded Henhouse when I go to eat some hens.

    ToB Martial Adept Classes

    You can also replace the Fighter with the Warblade, and rename Warblade "Fighter", or even just add 1 maneuver per level from any combination of schools that you like, and 1 stance every 4 levels, and give fighters an initiator level of 1 per fighter level. If I were running a swords and...

    ToB Martial Adept Classes

    My group, and by extension, the #dnd3e gaming community, have had success using these classes as a replacement for fighter and paladin. I wouldnt use them side by side. Warblade is not OP compared to a Cleric, only better than a fighter. This isnt a problem in my estimation, since I am a big fan...

    Again the Sneak Attack Mage

    -2 con also, but who needs con? Certainly not someone with a d4 hit die.
