It is pretty easy to do now with all the base classes. Before the hard part was getting up to +5 BAB to start taking prestige classes. I see no reason to do it though.

Virtually every character I have ever played has had a prestige class. Why? Well, to me prestige classes are a natural part of the game, and a good way to make your character different in a real way, not just a weapon choice, and few skills and a different personality. (Yes, I value the roll...

Which would bother you more IRL? Some guy who said the same thing, or some dude who said he was better than you in every way? I rest me case, boyo

Hmm, I should have put Improved trip on my list. Its ability to bash a character, and get an extra attack is golden. The ability to AoO when they get up is broken. Leadership. One reason i left it behind is that a good DM will control it sufficiently. if you let the player play two characters...

Hmm, my group of four usually meets for an average of 5 hours, sometimes 6. Of those 5 we get three and a half hours of gaming done, 30 minutes of eating/small talk, and 1 hour of goofing around with ribald jokes, or going off on tangents. For the rest of the time we game pretty seriously...

3.0 was balanced. A good one:one trade off for everyone. With 3.5 the stupid idea of not allowing light weapons to power attack and giving 2H weapons x2 was just ridiculous. It causes a whole host of problems like animated shields, and characters that are glass cannons, plus all the focus on...

I am reminded of the reply, "Ok, I'll hate you because you are a vain, self-centered XXXXXXX." This is in no way an attack at Silverbane.

Without any guidelines, I think your answers will be useless as every feat varies in power from character to character, but anyway 1: Natural Spell. 2: Power Attack 3: Combat Reflexes 4: Rapid Shot 5: Two Weapon Fighting No particular order Natural spell because it makes both sides of the...

I like the concept of them, and the heirarchy in 2E, but I overall, hate D&D's love of steampunk, so the current writeup of modrons does not suit me well.

Rules: One sub-race for each base class. One sub-race for each rule loophole(alter self-->wings) Way too good ability score modifications and skill bonuses Access to too many martial weapons, and top quality ones at that. Fluff: and Players: Elves = Perfection? Whatever. Elves and their long...

I'm glad not to see Regional Feats in Ebberon, and I hope no future products. They are a serious power-mismatch problem in FR. A few gem feats of unquestionable power make the game unbalanced and limit character choice too much. Ebberon does it much better, where you can be more unique within...

There are several feats in PHBII that give you one attack in exchange for other benefits. I remember in 3.0 Fist wahtever there was a feat called Dirty FIghting that gave you a bonus on damage with only one attack. It was kinda weak though. Maybe there is a new one in 3.5?

Japan I am pretty sure D&D has never been the top RPG in Japan, but it is well represented among the multitudes of others. Japan has a strong card game/RPG/anime population, and most of the people who do one seriously dabble in the other two, as they are seen as pretty intermixed here...

I wish I had a buck for every player in my online games who wanted to play a pixie. Never allowed it and never would. It is just a silly thing to want to play, and just ripe for brokenness. My main complaint, other than the arrows, if their vulnerability. If the DM does not try to get...

Admittedly, WOTC could have handled the whole Dragon/Dungeon thing far better. I really do wonder why they did not have at least a Beta version of the DI up for people to look at just after they read the announcement. And they could have softened the blow by at elast seemingto consider people's...

Seems clear enough to me that is how it works. Whether intended or not, I have no idea. And I am the type that tends to go by the rules as intended, rather than the rules as (mis)written. As long as the stance can be gotten for a cost (by multiclassing or a feat) I see no real reason to worry...

Well even swordsages DO like to actually hit with thier strikes. Monks have gotten better with hitting, and they have gotten better manouverability. However, with the ToB changing the dynamics of combat, I wonder how monks will fare when they cannot get a full attack and their flurry gets to...

Seriously, if the OP does not know psionics, don't mess with it, but start at elvel one and see how it develops. I am doing the snme in my game with the Tome of Battle, and it is ok, buthe strengths andweaknesses are becoming very apparent, and we are only 2nd level now. Of course I expect...

Hmm, 18,000 for +3. 10,000-25,000 for emulating a feat-like ability(dex to damage), and I would go with 25,000 as Dex is already the most useful stat in the game The ability to not be disarmed if you try (note it says nothing about when someone tries to disarm you) Looks like a cost of about...

Very true. One reason why the RAW and wizards-only are so popular. You've got to find players somewhere, and using a lot of weird 3rd party stuff makes it harder to make a common game, especially online, where I do most of my playing. As for 4E, I am waiting. I seee no need to get hysterical...
