my con mod is +3, which is fine, but I'm gonna be starting the campaign at ecl 3 with 1 Hit Die, which, with 11 hp is way scarier than 15.

I've burned my feat on Wild Cohort already, for a Shark Cohort. If only Ranger had a good hit die. =(

The race I am using is prechosen, its a Sahuagin. I am fairly sure I'll end up either Warblade or Barbarian, but I was hoping a great class would fall from the sky and be just what I need =)

Hey: The premise is this: Starting a new character, ECL 3, LA is 2, and I have 1 class level to work with. I am looking for a high hp class, for survivability, but also for a class with good skills. I'm currently in Warblade, but something doesnt feel quite right. Skills arent bad, but they...

Just to let you know, it is impossible to win vs Hypersmurf. His knowledge of the Raw is unrivaled. I've been here a long time, and seen him wrong once. He admitted it a fair ways in. I was convinced you were wrong, Cameron, in this thread, by 3/4ths of the way thru page 1. The fact that we've...

I have worked in customer service for the last 6 years, and I am appalled at the level of service I get almost everywhere I go. What this means, of course, is that I have taken more and more of my business online. If a store cant service me professionally, and politely, I am more than happy to...

The way gaining maneuvers/stances is done is extremely shoddy, and thus, I always play either more than one ToB class multiclassed, or, go rogue/monk/something else and lead into swordsage/crusader. If you take 4 levels of monk, then go swordsage, your IL is 3, allowing you to take level 1 and...

Just use orbs. Easy touch attack to hit, no save, no sr

I just wanted to say while I agree with your "Every game is different" thesis, I disagree with pretty much every single other thing you said.

Natural Spell is core, as is wildshape. I cant imagine the idea that the swordsage trumps the core only druid.

I imagine a lot of typed bonuses that didnt overpower things when allowed to stack, and caused magic items to never get purchased, due to their non-stacking nature, got changed to untyped so that they became viable options.

I went with Child of Shadow, for concealment whenever I moved 10' in a round, synergizes with desert wind feats, and Hunter's Sense, because Scent is great to have. (3rd level swordsage, but you dont get an extra stance at level 4 anyway) Flame's Blessing is only FR 5 at this level, so I'd skip...

I just created a "Fire and Shadow" Goblin swordsage. Specializing in firey attacks, shadowy movements and Diamond mind counters.

In fact, though, I'd posit that 90% of the reason for taking these feats is optimizing the orb spells, because thats how broken they are.

Sounds to me like more obfuscation, as though the dragon versus the conjurer is the argument, and not the balance of the orbs.

My issue with this is manyfold. I have no issue with DD nukes being good. However, A) Orbs are the only true high quality nukes that are truly worth casting B) Orbs are Conjurations C) That means Evocation, as a specialty, is basically utterly worthless, borne out by the total lack of...

I liked the central idea of Rifts, even though, traditionally, I dont like mixing high science and magic. I thought the IDEA was executed beautifully. Sadly, the system is a complete mess, and virtually unplayable. Still, I think the Rifts settings works, and wouldnt hesitate to play Rifts...

Knights of the Old Republic had more roleplaying, and more meaningful choices than any tabletop game I've ever played in, over my 29 years of rping. Maybe its sad, or maybe KOTOR simply was really that good. Morrowind, and Oblivion, had more things to DO than any campaign world allowed options...

Getting extra wealth and less feats is a tradeoff, to be sure. I do not believe crafting and getting double wealth is worth more, or less, than having more firepower feats. Look what Rystil does, extra damage wise, with the 2 feats you used for CWI and CA&A, or, what have you.

Its like a train wreck, I just keep watching and watching, open mouthed, and staring. Hours of amusement.
