The cake is a lie! :D

Info is up. You have options: frontal assault, intrigue, preemptive attack . . .

"Allow me to explain the political situation," the man offers, entering the room, "and then options may be weighed as to how to proceed. There are essentially four main factions in this area - us, the forces of Antric, the Lady of the Black Hills who leads an army of the dead, and the goblins...

MIC has made this even worse with items that grant extra actions that are notably cheaper than a high-level Rod of Quickening.

Arcane Hierophant is something to consider if going with Fochluchan Lyrist. It isn't too bad at filling in spare levels. Oh, have you looked at Daggerspell Mage? It advances casting and sneak attack, but not music. Also, consider being a Lillend or Tulani, or some race that advances music...

I thought it might be something like that. Has anyone tried to quantify the benefits? Well, you'll give up two for JPM dipping, but that does seem to be about the limit. Full JPM requires more and I'm sure there are reams of analysis on its merits. I really don't know about the...

The moment passes and the undead move on. After a few minutes more, the rustle of robes announces Roillard. He appears in the doorway, bearing a wooden staff. "I hope I'm not interrupting," he says, "but at some point I thought it best to offer my advice concerning the next course of action."

Obsidian - frontline bruiser Whin - gish Voidrazor - damage dealer (?) Ichiru - saboteur/healer/summoner Avalon - remaking Shayuri - remaking

You don't mind if I don't redo Ichiru, I trust? He wasn't the most min/maxed character but there was some careful building so he could fulfil the roles I had in mind. Having made him for the campaign I'd prefer to keep using him. We don't seem to have much of a census of roles going on, so...

Incidentally, if your party is undead (and presumably evil enough to not care about bystanders) it becomes less objectionable.

There are very few builds for Warblade/Wizards or Warblade/Psions. This is surprising because one would think that they would be acceptably powerful combinations. Crusader tends to be much more popular with Wizard, probably because it offers Heavy Armor proficiency (qualifying the character...

I interpret that to mean that you can't force someone to trigger it - but if they perform the triggering action on their own, they're out of luck. And when I do this sort of thing, I also use a symbol of persuasion. Less mess when you accidentally trigger it.

(emphasis mine) Do you give away free information on where invisible creatures are? :p

It's about time to get this moving . . . either with a rollicking political subplot or with a new assignment. I didn't want to have Roillard talk to you guys until you figured out what to going to say to him, but if you don't go to him, he may come to you. ;)

Ichiru would meet up with others if possible.

Do I need to? Was Ichiru killed off, or just conveniently misplaced after a building fell on him (a la Mat in WoT?)

I was just thinking that shaman (from OA) and cloistered cleric (UA) are both more lightly armored clerics that deemphasize front-line combat in favor of more skills or feats. Thematically, I usually take them in lieu of standard cleric in cases where I am building a divine caster that is not...

Nah, bards are special. Besides, that restriction applies to free action speaking, which is a different mechanic.

I believe it's all of the above. People like playing characters with more power. It's been said that society is moving increasingly towards instant gratification, and in light of that I think making people wait less to do cool things is an intelligent game design decision.

Well, Healer is from Miniatures . . . it isn't very popular. My OA is crying. Certainly there's nothing wrong with the cleric, I just tend to think in terms of myriad options. ;)
