    Are Druids regarded as the most powerful class in 3.5?

    Animal Companions do not grow in size, RAW. I'm playing a gnome druid right now. So far my small snake companion is pretty effective, with a high AC, decent attack, and nasty poison (albeit with very low DC).

    My take on an Assassin Base Class

    Thats part of the reason I think Assassin is a Prc in the first case. I like assassin better without spells (rangers also don't get spells, in my brain). For a base class assassin you can just add spelllike abilities once per day to simulate spellcasting or ignore spells altogether. If I were...

    Andy Collins: "Most Magic Items in D&D Are Awful"

    Crazy. It's silly to try and tell people you don't read books and therefore don't have any knowledge of what capabilities items and monsters have and then in the same post outline how certain items have no applicability against certain monsters' special attacks. This isn't a thread arguing...

    Andy Collins: "Most Magic Items in D&D Are Awful"

    Heh. I think in non-module run 3e magic items aren't much of a problem because of competent DM'ing and black market magic item trade (or regular markets, for that matter). And in module-run 3e, you get an appropriate amount of treasure and usually have the same. The extremes of fighting with...

    Price a +4 con, +2 str, +2 dex belt

    So shouldn't a belt that raised all mental stats be similarly reduced (I realize that isnt the OP's item)? If it is, then what about the belt? I mean, 12,000 gp to get a gloves of dexterity and belt of giant's strength on an item seems a bit high (especially since they are the lowest denominators).

    Frontline Rogue?

    I would advise the wizard/cleric to start focusing on summoning spells. Nothing you do will replace a fighter/juggernaut, and it doesn't sound like your group is necessarily appreciating what you're willing to do to succeed. I think your party needs to sit down and figure out some new combat...

    Price Check: Ring of Enlarge Person 1/day

    I would just rule that it can't be made. Enlarge Person is an annoying spell at any level. Especially in a world like Dragonlance. I don't remember any of the heroes growing every fight in the books (which isn't to say there should never be anyone using Enlarge Person on the world, just not...

    Thoughts on an alternate Bard class

    Armor from Cha is way too front-loaded, I advise you follow monte cook's lead and allow for a bonus equal to class level (or class level/2, which he did on the unfettered but for Int). Rest seems OK.

    Anti-first-round-nuke feats

    This one needs a "x times per day", or "once per encounter" clause. I think they are generally too powerful, even for higher-level characters. You are taking a feat that potentially negates other characters' feats (Improved Initiative), stats (Dex mainly), and abilities (Sneak Attack)...

    No Prestige Classes

    I would have a lot of fun playing in a game like that, especially if you eased up the alignment restrictions too (mainly that Monks must be Lawful). The beauty of multiclassing is not to cherry-pick or become powerful, it is to find interesting intersections that fit a story (or just a...

    New Level 0 Spell: Pale Touch

    Woo, I couldnt think of a good name, thanks for the help! Id be inclined to leave it a d6 rather than get funny with d4+1 or something. (But I dont think d8 is 'too powerful', its just a narrow undead hoser, mostly for the duskblade).

    Maximum Hit Points

    I just started playing in a 28 point buy campaign in FR (and its low-magic, if you can imagine that). My d&d days have been filled with brutal DMs, strict DMs, and my own DMing (which is a mixture of the two, though a little more lenient). I'm playing a gnome druid, 10/14/16/10/15/10. I would...

    New Level 0 Spell: Pale Touch

    I've updated the first post - Disrupt Undead is a ranged spell that deal 1d6 points of damage to undead as a 0-level spell. My spell is a touch version of the same spell - is 1d8 damage fair (for losing the ability to use the spell at range?). As a comparison, it would be equivalent to a...

    New Level 0 Spell: Pale Touch

    Maybe I'll include the SRD for Disrupt Undead. The main point is this: If a ray version of a spell does X damage, can you warrant upping the damage by restricting it to a touch spell?

    The Official Cookie Contest II

    Druid Remake Sphere Druid As the normal druid except the only non-spellcasting special ability gained is Wild Empathy at level 1 and Handle Animal is not on the skill list. Also, the ability to Wildshape into Plants is never gained, as I think it is silly ;) To get a regular druid, just select...

    How can I fix my Will save?

    Iron Will at your next non-bonus opportunity and purchasing a cloak at the soonest opportunity seem like your best bets. I've never heard a fighter bemoan taking Iron Will... (at +3 I think it would be more automatic than it already, generally speaking, is).

    How often do you cheat?

    I agree. I hate feeling like me and the members of my party are invincible, especially because of the great pains some of the members take to avoid death. Its D&D, it happens, and usually as a player you learn something. And now you have a tale to spin. While non-epic, random, mook-related...

    How much BAB is a feat worth?

    Meh, at higher levels it doesn't seem like it would break much. For instance: Veteran of Battle [Fighter, General] Prerequisite: BAB: +16 Benefit: Your Base Attack Bonus improves by 1. Special: You may take this feat multiple times. Each time the prerequisite is raised by 4 (so BAB: +20, then...

    Maximum Hit Points

    What is disingenuous is having a fighter who wants to be on the front line of combat (so a heavily armed fighter, not an archer fighter or multiclass barb/ftr) with a low Con (which is not something you suggested). It doesn't add up. You might as well tell me you want to play a spellcaster with...
