    Combat beguiler

    Might this be a problem with the PrC (3.0, right?) rather than the weapon enhancement? So a DM wishing to curtail abuse, rather than banning the enhancement, might simply refrain from abuse.

    Viper's Strike and Combat Challenge interaction question

    Isn't a combat challenge also an immediate interrupt? In which case, the answer would be yes, but you don't have the immediate action to use for the second attack.

    Combat beguiler

    What great use? They could attack for (let's take a big weapon like a greatsword) 2d6 + crappy Str. It hardly seems game-breaking to me. Of course, they could invest heavily in Str or other attack/damage bonuses, take Arcane Strike, take melee feats rather than caster feats... in which case...

    Combat beguiler

    I like the idea of a warrior-mage who's neither about turning his skin into stone or giving himself the strength of a giant, nor about blasting his opponents with fire and lightning through his sword, but about confusing his enemies with illusions before cutting them up. Even though medium BAB...

    Combat beguiler

    Which class would you say can put this to best use, and what is the worst unbalancing effect they can achieve with it? It seems to me that anyone with worse than medium BAB has all sorts of additional incentives to stay out of melee. Giving medium BAB with a sword to a wizard isn't going to...

    Combat beguiler

    True that! I had forgotten about that.

    Expertise justification?

    The ultimate choice indeed, and that's exactly the problem. Where does that leave feats like Combat Reflexes, Nimble Blade, Sure Climber? Why would you take +1 to attacks in a tiny subset of situations when you can get +1 (or more) to attacks in a vast majority of situations? Why would you take...

    Combat beguiler

    What would be a fair trade for a beguiler to get medium BAB?

    Expertise justification?

    Decent compared to what? Game balance is a relative concern.

    Multiclass warlock feat

    Complete Adventurer, and then Complete Scoundrel, had feats that let you stack two specific classes for the purposes of some level-dependent abilities (such as bard and paladin stacking for the damage dealt by smite evil). Are there feats like that that enhance a warlock's eldritch blast?

    Multiple Saves for the Same Effect

    If one save clears all, odd combinations crop up with save ends both conditions. Say you get hit by 5 ongoing and slowed (save ends both) and 10 ongoing (save ends). You're taking 10 ongoing and you're slowed, and at the end of your turn you successfully save. Which conditions get removed? If...

    The only explanation I have for this that the minmaxing skill between the master minmaxer and the casual players is minuscule. We've been playing 1st-8th, and the difference between the master minmaxer (playing a dwarf battle rager fighter) and the casual butt-kicker (playing a dark pact...

    Doesn't sorcerer (unlike the warlock) have range 20 powers?

    Pathfinder 1E Pathfinder Sneak Peeks (Old thread)

    The human is surprisingly (and pleasingly) chunky. The half-elf, on the other hand, is surprisingly slender.

    Monk Feedback

    Without getting into a discussion about the definition of religion, which 4E skill do you think should represent the understanding of ideas such as Zen or Taoism?

    monk preview: another expertise feat - talk about stealth errata!

    I'm not a subscriber, so I've haven't read the articles in detail, but there were skills grouped by role and ability score (to make it easier to pick an even spread rather than have the rogue rolling Bluff, Diplomacy and Streetwise while everyone else waits for him to finish), advice about...

    monk preview: another expertise feat - talk about stealth errata!

    ... even for very wide definitions of related: epic defense feats, items which boost F/R/W from Adventurer's Vault, why sorcerers get +Dex to all damage while warlocks get +1d6 1/round, two-bladed swords vs. rapiers, battle ragers, invoker At-Wills vs. wizard At-Wills. All of these have been...
