Yeah, it is a part of game design in a sense: some of the clerics heals/buffs rely on him hitting with wis or str to trigger. I cant recall anything like that in 3.5. Its also a part of point buy and the racial bonuses. Pointing this out doesnt make you sound old. saying "munchy" does ;)

nvm

yeah the one regret i have about this build is the low cha. sacred flame is nice. I have 2 questions 1) if someone is at -5, does sacred flame get them to 1? 2) does 1[w] include the +2 damage from the dwarven training feat? As for this guy- i thought more and realized halberd is the way to...

Ah i didnt know the kots guys were on that array. Beacon does 3d8+wis mod damage, which is around 18 on average. for the vulnerability 5 to figure, they have to fail a save and you have to hit them next turn. a rough average would be 21 on a hit. a swing of the greataxe does 11 damage on...

Hey, I noticed the keep cleric sucked. Here is one which, no exaggeration, might have prevented some of the infamous wipes. he has 1 additional encounter heal (ravens blessing) and hits harder and more often than the keep cleric. Feel free to suggest/discuss modifications. Level 1 cleric-...

i think he was being a little facetious. we all know DMs arent going to let players skill-cheese their way out of combat.

I worried about that too, then i remembered you get +1 to all stats at 11 and 21. so spending 1 point on cha isnt that terrible.

where?

hey, im in rockville. i dont mind hopping on 495 for a bit. trying to get a group going at my place but they are all new and, well, not believers yet. email me at phil5000@yahoo.com if youre interested.

So I came up with a 2 player game for those who love tactical combat, min/maxing, or "roll playing". 2 players set a number of PC's and a level- for example, 5 PC's level 1. Then set an appropriate amount of gold. Rituals are banned. They flip a coin: winner decides who is "PC" and who is...

this is called managing expectations. if they said june 7th and shipped june 8th, you would be pissed. if they say june 10th and ship june 8, you will be happy. get it? same ship date, different opinion of amazon.

The whole build is based on a mistake, aside from the fact that he is obv. talking about int not wis. Only the spell focus actually affects the "50/50" saves. the other 3 you mention help it hit, which only slows them. p279 of the PHB: "Modifiers: A saving throw normally doesn't include...

Wanna know how you feel. I think a leak of the core books wont be very damaging, you can get the set for under 60 US and I cant imagine people playing with some crappy printouts. Also: they would have been avail. anyways, only later and in lower quality. More worrisome is the leaking of books...

they broke 3 or 4 days ago, after the buy.com shipments arrived. it is suspected it happened at the printer. they could be hi rez scans. the torrent bit is just a way of filesharing thats a little more efficient than traditional ones, like napster. thing with the internets now is that it...

its still not very impressive. id rather have something that may let someone use a surge.

So I read thru keep a week ago. This line by mearls caught my eye today "Also, there's a secret room that you can find only by piecing together a few clues (or seriously dumb luck/thoroughness). No skill checks, just good, old fashioned brain processing power." What are the clues he is talking...

not much, just be sure to say: i attack enemy C with a 18 vs. AC for 8 damage you should already roll for dmg, he will ignore it on a miss.

I think in the case of classes with powers divided between 2 stats, minmaxing DOES include "maxing" both stats. If you did the pure strength cler, for example, you would have few, if any, relevant attacks against will or reflex. taking a -1 or -2 in str based attacks would be compensated by...

I would agree that thats going to be the "best" build for levels 1-3. but for the long haul, i would rather have a char with more options. the cler powers are fairly evenly divided among STR and WIS base. that, along with the fact you get to level 2 stats on 4,8 etc. really points to not dumping...

yah nice catch. I dont know how much i like warlocks being better vs minions than wizards.
