Love the fluff :) Hate the crunch :( Seriously, the concept is absolutely brilliant, and the descriptive text is one of the best I've ever seen. Unfortunately, some of the abilities are simply too powerful. Incidentally, you know that the whole muteness thing can be easily abused with high...

Aside from Synergy IV and Synergy VI, it looks fine. After all, it's never going to get 9th level spells in either class (in fact, it will only get 8th/7th) and this is the primary objective of arcane class builds. Not to mention the fact that for three levels it is gaining effectively nothing...

I voted Overpowered, due to the impact on the party. Incidentally, the best time to go for MsT IMHO is probably after Wiz7/Clr3. Get fourth level spells under your belt from wizard, nab three levels of cleric and then take MsT for the next ten. The MsT is a bizarre sort of prestige class-...

Anubis- I think that your argument is fundamentally flawed because the only pertinent argument I have witnessed (though I have not been following the entire saga) is that be rejigging ability scores to either overpower or underpower the said creature, U_K's system can be broken. Well, quelle...

Personally, I can think of several reasons why this is a very bad idea. 1. Heavy Armour just got a whole lot better. Heavy Armour is already very good, particularly for frontliners with a poor Dexterity. By implementing DR, you take what is already a powerful combination, and make it even...

Ranillon- You either misinterpret or misrepresent me. Essentially, my core point was not that chaotic people had no values per se, but that their values were based on two core tenets: firstly, that the fundamental tenets held on society are not inherently better than anyone else's; and...

Ranillon and Lord Pendragon: The irony of the situation is that your arguments are not mutually exclusive. It is perfectly possible for both of you to be right. Lord Pendragon's fundamental argument is that chaotic is a disregard for any form of principle based on the establishment of...

Hi there U_K. I followed the first installation of the Immortals' Handbook and keenly await its release. However, I think that some of the CR adjustments are slightly off... 1. Why are clerics and druids considered to be +0.9 CR/level? If anything, clerics are very powerful for a PC class...

Since you are a buffer, your best bet is something like a fighter. You buff, he goes in for the kill. It depends on the party though. Generally, you should fill a gap in the party with cohort to get the best use of them. Since they tend to be lower level than the rest of the party, if they...

How could I forget? Curse of the Brute- great spell. As a debuff, one of the nastiest around. Given that it's a Fort save, you can really mess up bards and arcane casters with this, unless there is a huge disparity in their Int and Cha. Being able to smack a -20 penalty to an enemy wizard's...

Aha- I've cracked it. No one has seen Blackleaf. She could be typing as a member of the undead, by possessing a typist (using the ghost's malevolence ability) or by using poltergeist ability. So she cannot prove that she is alive. Now, here's the cunning part. Since more people have died in...

The core canon of most CE is that there is only one thing that ever matters- you. You will always do what is in your self-interest, though part of this is bearing in mind possible punishment. So you will not cut down a peasant in a crowded marketplace. Here, however, is the one that people...

Okay...here is my take on the two scenarios? Scenario 1. The Thieves. a. Should the healers bind them? LG= Bind their wounds, disarm them and then heal them to consciousness NG= Bind their wounds, disarm them and then heal them to consciousness CG= Bind their wounds, disarm them and then...

Warmaster is only *?! You get a free Huge Castle at 10th level...that's worth a cool million gp. For that reason alone, it's worth at least a **: that single asset is more than the total wealth of a 20th level PC. Of course, if your cohort is also a Warmaster, and as is his etc....four huge...

Did anyone ever play Planescape: Torment? One of the things you could do was try to convince Vhailor (the dead Mercykiller) that he was, in fact, dead. You also got around 80000xp (2e though, so not too obscene.) Hey Blackleaf- if I can convince you that you are dead, do I get 80k xp...

Oops. You should have just told me to RTFM :D P. 177, DMG: Ah well. Mind you, my last campaign's end boss managed to do it without any of the PCs noticing. ;)

Personally, I would assume that clothing goes into the slot, what with clothing and vestments essentially being synonymous. As for the type of bonus, it would *technically* be an enhancement bonus. Under Magic Vestment, this is a legitimate interpretation, and if armour if enchanted, it is...

Well, perhaps Command: Freeze then? They freeze for a round and then you cdg them.

Command (Sleep- have a fighter with 5' to prepare a coup de grace, since you only get one round) Hold Person (same but better, as you can wait until the last round, then cdg them) Sound Burst is quite nifty at 3rd, but unfortunately quickly pales in terms of damage (since it doesn't scale) The...

Answer: Hide Life The Epic caster's most useful ally... Of course, the best way to abuse epic spells is to cast uber-combat spells with a high xp burn, take a nasty xp hit, and then immediately recoup a greater amount of xp from killing something about 10 (or so) CR points higher than you.
