The end result of this is that only PCs that start at a high level have armor that's actually custom-fitted to them. Target a Dispel on someone's armor to suppress the enchantment, and at the least you should have a very uncomfortable armor-wearer; at best, the person's armor might simply burst...

If her diety doesn't have a realm, than by Planescape rules she'd be a petitioner in the Outlands, which are True and not-so-true Neutral.

Don't the Ioun Stones work like a Rod of Absorption -- i.e., you need to use a Readied Action to actually absorb spells? Okay, yeah, they do. A cleric buffed with Divine Favor and Divine Might is more than capable of getting around the monk's touch AC, as is a wizard with Quickened True Strike...

Amusing enough, an equivalent fighter (or a big monster) could deal with that tank simply through improved grab. The monk's touch AC is only a 34 or so (not a guaranteed hit, but still about 50/50), and once the grapple is started the fighter should have around a 10 pt lead over the monk in...

This reminds of a situation that came up in a game a couple years ago. My wizard Confused a T Rex, causing it to attack and swallow a human that was directing it. The party sorcerer, as part of our continual game of one-upmanship, then managed to polymorph the T Rex into a kitten. We totally...

Diirk -- that's more of a reflection of druids being incredibly powerful than it is a reflection of monks being gimps. Lucky the Unkillable does have a rather important flaw as a tank, though -- he's completely dismissible as a threat. Tanks that aren't worth the enemy's attention aren't good...

I rather nervous about killing PCs, too. But then I finally did it (the player got cocky and got his PC into a situation where she was simply doomed), it was like a great barrier had been lifted. The rest of the group knows that I'm going to try to put them through a meat grinder when I...

Traps are easy to deal with -- just have the fighter set them off and keep a wand of cure light wounds handy :cool: The barbarian can be handled mainly because I don't think the player really knows what he's doing. The barbarian is a barb5/shaman 5 now, but the player almost never uses his...

The Divine Champion from the FRCS is a decent pally PrC -- it has Cha-based abilities, which a paladin should be able to make good use of, anyways. Having a smite attack based on religion instead of alignment is handy.

Rogues can be done without thanks to the utility of arcane magic. The damage from sneak attack can be a rather vicious thing, though; getting caught between a rogue and a proper fighter is a much more serious deal than getting caught between a monk and a proper fighter. I'd say that bards...

Monk is a support class. Kwai Chang Caine, the Iron Monkey, the Drunken Master, and other kung-fu heroes, who are presumably the inspiration for the class, most certainly aren't support characters. I think part of the problem is that people who select monk because they're expecting to play a...

There seems to have been lots of oversights with Sunder. I guess they did that so that you have to have the feats if you want to use Disarm and Sunder against a opponent of equivalent skill.

I bet that that's for purposes of Concentration checks.

Each head of a douple weapon is enchanted seperately, so they'd have to be activated seperately. That being said, I can't remember a single session I've played in the past few years where we (with we being the players and the DM) actually remembered that elemental weapons require an action to...

I've recently written up a conjuration specialist whose barred schools are evocation and necromancy. Wands, staves, and scrolls of spells from the barred schools would not be usable by my character, correct? Are there any spells outside of those two schools and Melf's Acid Arrow that makes for...

Heh. I wonder if dragon CRs are so inappropriately low simply so that they'll be worth less treasure & XP than they would be at their "true" CR? A level X party fighting a CR X dragon will probably expend 75% or more of their resources to defeat it, but they get XP as though they had fought a...

Yeah, I can understand that feeling. I played a bard in a my first 3E campaign. Out of probably 55+ battles over the course of the campaign, I can think of only two battles past L4 where my character's presence made any difference, and one of those involved harpies. Wouldn't a magic circle...

You're a monk. Monks aren't killing machines by a long shot.

Most of the people I know (including myself) try to get permanent items when we can. Every single spellcaster I've ever played has taken Craft Wands at some point or another, though.

There's no actual rules for this sort of thing.. If he can actively drag souls into his own private underworld, then at least while he's there he's a full-blown demon lord. The Heavens (and those parties in Hell that disprove of this guy stealing their harvest) may act whenever they please...
