Duskblade, Dragon Shaman, Rogue, or Crusader. Duskblade is as spontaneous fighting mage: full BAB and spells for offense. They can channel spells into weapons. Dragon Shaman because you are part dragon. They have nifty Auras. Crusader because they are hard to kill warriors with amazing...

Actually, that enhancement bonus (+15) isa incredibly balanced. You need a +16 weapon before you can buy a +1 Truestriking weapon. I mean, it can't even bypass DR Epic by wasting so many bonuses.

Nope, that was 1st edition. 2nd edition (assuming no houserules): may needed the spell enchant item (ande possibly Permanency*). You could create a few without them, but only potions/ scrolls. There was a 5% chance to lose 1 Con if using Permanency spell (see note below*). Now, there was a...

THe boots waste your turn = Standard action. Sure you have as move action left, but I'm not sure what you can do with that + % error: no Teleport without error.

2 points: 1) Why aren't you first lowering their saves? 2) why bother with saves? Point 1: enervation, fear effects, etc lower saves so they have a lower saving throw. Heck, Negative levels (enervation) can kill with no save so use more of them. Stuff like Grease still deprives you if Dex...

Untrue, you have to take in account the duration. The table has a multiplier for that. If a continuous item has an effect based on a spell with a duration measured in rounds, multiply the cost by 4. If the duration of the spell is 1 minute/level, multiply the cost by 2, and if the duration is...

Sounds like Magus is suffering from Monk/Fighter syndrome.

USE Magic Device = UMD Use it. Scrolls of Displacement/Blink/Grease/Invisibility/Greater Invisibility/etc Mobility is a really bad choice: mobility=Mage Slayer, weapon focus =Blind fight Improved Toughness = Pierce Magical Concealment. Combine with Blink ring/scrolls: now you deny enemies...

Instead of con use Wisdom? Great idea actually.

Well, I'm glad that you post this list. You forgot to note that many spells are missing from the list.

Reach is a function of body size not weapon size: although a weapon smaller than you doesn't grant reach. Do they treat you as large or let you wield larger weapons?

He probably plays pathfinder where you use Cha instead of Wisdom for casting.

Some people call Cleric/bards selfish so they don't have to consider how strong the classes really are. It is mostly strawman and diversions. Cor_Malek Well, it sounds hard to playtest a class that doesn't have its real class features (like spells). Any data gained from false data would be...

You can combine spellstrike and Spell combat. Using spell combat cast Shocking grasp then -4 hit penalty (if made concentration check) use Spellstrike to hit them with sword and shocking grasp. Get used to shocking grasp because so far that is only touch range spell for awhile.

Grease, Glitterdust, etc. Grease causts people to balance (you need 5 ranks in Balance skill to balance and keep Dex to AC). Glittterdust is a blinding effect (will save negate). Both blind people and people balancing with 5 ranks are denied Dex to AC. You can sneak attack people denied Dex to...

Could you sum up the iffy part of Changeling?

Suggestions: Hexblade 4/Paladin of Tyrrany 1 (level up till read Pally 3 for Aura of Despair). ACF Dark Companion for Hexblade. Crusader 5 (Tome of battle defensive tank class) Warblade 5 (more offensive tank class) What are you limited to? Can you use Pathfinder classes? The Playtest class...

You can be a low level Asassin by having the race Marrulurk (they have Death attack, swneak attack, etc racially).

It is more of an issue that Samurais were Fighters with selected feats and few masrerwork weapons. Ninja, however, had poison use without being evil (not a common feature, usually you need evil like Assassin). They also have Improved Invisibility as a swift action a few times/day (1/2 level +...

Wait, James is saying both things means he thinks they should be able to combine, but he adknowledges that by RAW they don't. If he really thinks they should why not ask the other designers if they could errata it? I mean, they are his co-workers. They might have reason whjy they haven't...
