This class (Complete Divine Web Enhancement) seems odd. It requires both arcane and divine casting, however only progresses one of them. And the stated description of "blurring the lines between divine and arcane" doesn't pan out in the class mechanics; really there's nothing at all that changes...

Cost of +5 weapon = 50000 gp Cost of +1 weapon and a pearl of power = 11000 gp So apparently casting GMW is an "abuse of the rules" anyway, so whats it matter if its bane or not ? You'd let flaming, keen, holy work with GMW I assume, so quibbling over bane seems pointless.

So casting a GMW spell is getting something for nothing and abusing the system? lol ? If Person A has a +1 longsword, Person B has a +1 dragonbane longsword and person C is high enough to cast a +3 GMW, they all plan to attack a dragon that do so C buffs A and Bs weapons. Person A now has a +3...

True, but if you play a greedy character that seeks to actively deny other people of their rightful share of treasure, then don't be surprised if they don't want to journey with you anymore. I don't really see what business of yours it is what they do with whatever they earn.

Idunno, intensified ray of enfeeblement? -22 Str is still pretty impressive. (-11 hit, -5 - -17 damage per hit depending on fighting style/stats). Also consider the dex version from spell compendium, thats -11 reflex save / AC. And if you face an enemy spell caster with a casting stat of less...

The incantatrix bit is correct, as "whenever she uses a metamagic feat, the required increase in spell level (if any) is reduced by one (minimum spell level +1)". However for arcane thesis, "When you apply a metamagic feat other than Heighten Spell to that spell, the enhanced spell uses up a...

"Step 3: Hold. Make an opposed grapple check as a free action. If you succeed, you and your target are now grappling, and you deal damage to the target as if with an unarmed strike. If you lose, you fail to start the grapple. You automatically lose an attempt to hold if the target is two or...

And since you can't make free actions when it isn't your turn, noone can resist grapples or trips ? Unless of course, you provoke an AoO during your turn, and the opponents response is to try and trip or grapple you.

Well the duration is somewhat moot, as the duration of Chill Touch is instantaneous anyway.

Pretty sure thats just a copy/paste error from the 3.0 version

You sound pretty greedy here honestly. If you are in a party of 4 and noone has VOP, then you can assume you'll get roughly 1/4 of all treasure (including magic items). If someone picks up VOP, why should you suddenly start getting 1/3 of all treasure ? You aren't doing anything extra to earn it.

I think he'd get a save regardless.

Eh? Abjurant Champions are supposed to be frontline, semi defensive fighters that focus on using magic to increase armour instead of physical armours. Mage Armour with the +1 AC/level = 9 AC. The same as full plate +1, or bracers of armour +9. Even using greater mage armour or whatever, still...

I'm not sure how spending 5 feats to get +2 AC and +2 hit/damage "balances" losing +3 armour/weapons. Even if you use a 2hander so actually get +2 hit, +4 damage.. you're still better off with a +3 weapon (PA for 1 = +2 hit, +5 damage). Granted round to round you're a little more versatile, but...

And in fact the -4 penalty for shooting into melee stacks with any +4 AC bonuses opponent's get due to soft cover.

How's that a clear archery advantage? you can do exactly the same thing with melee weapons. Get a holy, flaming, frost longsword +1, then cast greater magic weapon on it. Same thing happens. Heck, you're actually even better off with a melee weapon, you can use a scabbard of keen edges with a...

Well if you can catch him sleeping, cast command undead on his 2 skeleton buddies, then have your fighter walk up and coup-de-gras him. Entangle won't stop him casting spells.

Humanoid shaped constructs are proficient with weapons mentioned in their description, so I'd say iron golems would be proficient with short swords. Not long swords or greatswords, though.

Right, but his argument is that you can be considered flanking while not receiving the +2 flanking bonus. I'd contend this.

Right, and its possibly fighters are meant to be allowed to cast 9th level wizard spells but the class text in the PHB is in error and left it off ;) I'm just going by what's written there. I'm not sure why its impossible... "No formian in a group is considered flanked unless all of them are."...
