Well, for my games, it is about 80% mithril chain shirts, because it is simply the best armor for every reason (even non-proficient users have not problems by the RAW.) It is just plain too good. When Full plate is only 4 more armor higher, there is little reason to sue it, and comparing all...

Not really, sorry. The I'm-so-beautiful-I'm-bored-to-tears is so overdone. Give me a woman who is 'on' and engaged any day.

I have used Fiery Burst, and the polymorph one, that can give you temporary hit points. The polymorph one may be too good. Getting Character level in temporary hit points as a swift action is awful good. They are nice additions to the game, still not totally sure about thier effect though. Many...

I don't see the need to make lots of custom stuff, actually The only area I really do custom is Magical Items. I did not buy any of the Encyclopedia Magic books, but I did get the random tables from somewhere(Dragon?) so I roll on those, and then just make up what item they found based on the...

Well, I can certainly agree that a fey book is better than a drow book, But that is not saying much. Very little in fact. I certainly agree that fey have a strong historical and cultural background that some people find appealing, and others like the grey in their natures, but to me they are...

This is an excellent point, and a good point about power creep also. Looking at the MM, especially MMI, you see creatures with the lamest feats possible. Toughness? Good Lord! And even a poor optimizer will have more powerful Complete classes ,or at least a few feats/tricks from them. And have...

Being able to use strikes at range also gets around a very solid balance component of the Bo9S. Most tiems, if you can get 20 feet above a Bo9S guy, there is little he can do to you

To be a bit more clear, it is the spell with the highest Caster Level, not spell level, so it is possible to boost your CL somehow and give yourself a couple low spell level buffs to provide some kind of armor.

My problem between powergaming and role-playing is which seems to be the strongest factor in character creation. I run a lot of PBEMs, with people I have never and will never meet face to face. So I ask for full character sheets plus backgrounds, as a way to get the crunch of the game...

I just hope i get my complete Champion a week early like I did with the last two complete books

I've always disliked the rule for lowering costs, because character inevitably expect a major price break on something that should be a price increase. But hey, what's good for the goose is good for the gander. Set up a campaign set around an evil cult and have 90% of thier magic items only...

Obviously you are part of the player knowledge trumps knowledge ranks camp.

DMM has never reared its face in my game, but I would probably restrict it. It is a very potentially powerful combination, and clearly is built around a flawed viewing of the rule. TO me, since every other version, arcane and bardic, contains the max level language, I consider that that...

Psionics, which I notice was not on the poll for some unknown reason, considering it is the probably the biggest.

Frankly, it doesn't matter to me, a new thread or an old old thread, same topic.

Of course the problem I always have is that the ranger may get a +6 or +8 bonus in interactions and damage against some broad kind of creature, but without know-whatever, how does he even know he is fighting his enemy? IMC Rangers can make a trained roll using the +2/+whatever bonus on the...

Good point. I am a one-of-everything-in-print but FR/Eberron/3rd party) and it is still a lot of choices

I don't think meat-and-potatoes = most powerful, just most taken, which is a totally different question. I do think weapon finesse is very powerful as it increases the power of the most overpowered stat even further. But skill focus, concentration? I don't think so. Combat casting is probably...

no vote cast Either all new monsters or all updated monsters, with no classed or templated creatures. I loved MMIII, and thought MMII and Fiend Folio, were ok, but not up to MMIII. I never bought MMIV and Will not buy MMV, unless it looks a lot better when I visit the states this Summer.

I heard the 15th also. And the 8th for Wilderness Tiles. Those are my two babies till August. I might even get two of the wilderness tiels. i ahve one each of the first three sets But then I will probably stop buying them, unless WOTC is smart enough to print different sizes of times. I would...
