Yes, I agree. Rods, Staffs and Wands should be combined. I mean Armor and Weapons already are, why not those three? I also think Wonderous should either be seperated (I have no idea what into) or more wonderous items should be put into other classes of items. Right now Wonderous and Arms/Armor...

Yeah, Nightsticks break down to 1250gp per turn attampe. So Persistant is under 9,000 gold and Quicken is just over 6,000. Those prices are a major problem

Good idea. There are anough direct damge spells in that book for druids to put a warmage to shame.

http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/ps/20070216a Well, these are a lot better than the power stones. Very useful for all arcane casers, and maybe some divine casters as well(see what varieties they come up with). Seems to have enough limiting factors to limit abuse. So, thus far I am...

Most spells like that change you into an average member of the other race. Going from Conan to an average joe is not fun. But yes, under the most lenient reading of the rules, it is massively powerful.

Only core would be pretty boring, in my opinion. Workable, and you could have a good game with it, of course, but limiting the game that much would not suit me. That said, where to draw the line is always the hard part, and different clases get different powers based on what else is allowed...

I agree. Minis area nice addition, but hardly required for tactical combat. Pennies, dice, and colored glass beads all make excellent 'miniatures'.

I think thge best number of players is 5-6, as then they can cover the basics, and double up on a role or two. Or, if desired, hey can play a class that doesn't fit one of the roels well such as Dragonfire Adept, Warlock, Bard etc. But due to RL concerns, my group is three, which means we do...

For me, Combat Reflexes is only really worth it if you have reach, or a reach weapon. Otherwise you only get AoOs against people who shoot arrows or cast spells next to you(and a five foot step negates that) or people who move past you. Overall, I would consider it for a few seconds before...

Just a suggestion for more healing, the Dragon Shaman's Touch of Vitality ability(PHBII) with healing and removing negative effects would be a strong addition to this game. (Maybe strong enough to give a version to other 'divine' casters like rangers and paladins. Even with Complete Psionic...

As I posted above with Metamagic Song (The bard version of DMM) Wizards obviously realized DMM was broken and worded later versions of the same ability to remove that brokeness. INC I tend to retroactively apply that logic in the absence of errata. But I am in a small minority.

I really have to agree with this. Though there are a goodly number of OD&D and 2E diehards, they are a definite minority. And they are none too happy being ignored by WOTC in favor of the new edition. I think that a 4E now, or in the next year could cause a major split in the market whith a lot...

You are better off not knowing. It's pure cheese for Divine Metamagic.

I would have no interest. Might as well jsut do it straighti f the second side is going to be so sub-par. Try it out at low levels with two full classes and I think you will find it is not all that overpowering. It make for far better rounded characters if both sides complement, but do not...

If starting at third level, go with Extend spell Extra Turning Divine Metamagic-Extend. Unless of course you have Nightsticks. Practices spellcaster is going to do you no good at 3rd level, so it might be a good 6th and 9th level feat, or even a bit later. You will be feat starved, so maybe...

Ah, I see it now. Between the 4E rule and the snarky reply rule.

I play gestalt and love it. (I have a 3 person group, me, the DM, included) We ban a lot of prestige classes, and most of the multi-class feats. (Aestetic .... etc) but are very loose about multiclassing and level adjustments. It works well.

There is a feat, called Metamagic Song in Races of STone. Requires two otehr metamagic feats, use Barid Music uses to make up for level adjustments due to metamagic. But noone will like it becasue it has the 'cannot makethe spell level higher than the highest you can cast' line. I like it a lot...

I would have voted, but that 4E comment in the third option gave me no option to go for. Did I miss a board rule where 4E has to be in every single thread, no matter tha topic?
