Okay, let's look at them point-by point. Scouts have better: -hit dice (d8 to the rogue's d6) -Armor class (only in turns where they skirmish, otherwise, it's equal) -Feats (they gain four bonus feats) -Fewer "dead" levels (levels where no new feats or special abilities are gained, though the...

Ahh, the wonder of quotation marks, taking posts from honest to sarcastic in a fraction of a moment. (scoff) a 'veteran dodgist'. Honestly. If they made it to 15th level, they are BOTH veterans of avoiding being hit. If the meleeist wasn't proficient at avoiding dying, he wouldn't have made...

Hmmm... Maybe his weapon has an empathic ego? Goes to "Smite" when the welder feels sufficiently frustrated and annoyed?

Before i begin: Yarr! That saidm here's the rebuttal. I dare to disagree. I play 3.5 without any house rules that mess with the base system. Now, i do allow my players to use Swashbuckling cards, which add to the system, not change it. Ahh, another one of the misconceptions of the...

QFT. The first GM i had that tried to do a 1-20 campaign tried to do it in a college game, with 15 :confused: players. He got up to lvl 16 (arbitrarily, sometimes leveling us up twice in a session), and then went completely insane, and just tossed a CR 30 undead god-child at us that wanted to...

Ditto for Wizards (save... or DIE), Clerics (Same), Druids, Sorcerers, Monks... heck, at 20th level, even the oft-maligned bards are nigh unstoppable. Just, y'know, by 20th level, EVERYBODY is godlike in terms of what they can do I mean, there's a disadvantage to the whole sneak attack thing...

So that people at low-mid levels have something to strive for? Duh. I mean, more than once, I've been in a game with a DM who thought a story should carry you all 20 levels. Now, none of these GM's have ever actually FINISHED their campaigns. but it was a valiant effort... or a...

Actually, when i first played a MT: i built him for survival. All the defensive spells available. The GM was a brilliant tactician, and had already done two TPK's in three weeks of play, so I figured: better safe than dead. I started shutting down combats with bottom-level spells like...

Well, a staff weighs 4 lbs. and the crossbow most wizards carry as a ranged weapon weighs an extra 4 lbs. And their spell book weighs 3 lbs, though that might be in the backpack... but no self-respecting wizard would ever risk dropping it. And their spell component pouch weighs 2lbs. so...

My apologies: Dedicated casters (Wizards / sorceres) have excellent Will saves. Straight Clerics have excellent Fort. and Will saves. Mystic Theurges have a good will save for a 10-level class. otherwise, they are just as weak as an arcane caster. Unfortunatly, you hit on another weakness...

Tell me about it. We had a rogue in our group who was fond of doing the "While they're asleep, I switch their stuff around". Right up until I set an explosive rune on my backpack. and a sepia snake sigil. and a leomund's trap (which i let him see me cast on the thing, so he ignored the...

It's actually pretty well balanced: you almost never run out of spells (Which pisses off Meatgrinder GM's) but your capabilities are universally stunted. A dedicated party cleric heals better, and turns undead FAR better, and can wear heavier armor. AND has a better Attack bonus, and has...

Ahh. Well, if it helps any: think of it like this: Axis & Allies. North & South Crusaders & Islam There. some fundamental differing of ideology that causes the two sides to splinter which leads to a war of Us Vs. Them... wherein neither side won.

In my game, many of the upper eschelons of officers in the armada are drow. Their long lifespan and ambitious nature makes them perfect House M. material. Though I have sworn to my players that there will never be a Col. Driz'zit, or dri'zell, or drow'zname... or any name starting with a D and...

Oh sorry man, FFE = Really, REALLY bad supplements that were way overpriced and of abysmal quality. (i own one book made by them... i will never even look at their company again... they just took photos of things from Hot Topic and made them "major artifacts".)

Y'know, i'm still trying to figure out the effective party level... i mean, the highest level spell we've seen has been "disintegrate" right?

How to nerf frenzied berserker: Add prerequisite: Wildshape, sneak attack 3d6, and ability to cast 3rd level spells. There, we just burned off 14 levels of player advancement.

C'mon frank. You should know, as a game master, that one unbalanced thing suddenly causes players to gravitate towards that thing... Look at the Vow of Poverty for comparison sake... Besides: the feat "autofire" makes automatic weapons deadly enough. Under normal dragonstar rules, if you...

First and foremost, the T20 equipment list is MUCH better than the Dragonstar list. It contains lots of minor pieces of equipment that are vital for Sci-fi settings, but were forgotten from Dragonstar (like mag-grapple guns). Traveler d20 is also being used to design the ship that the players...

Elf witch and I play it. Not, in the same place at the same time, mind you... I picked up the book almost a year after it came out. The players guide first, then i had to hunt down copies of the DM guide. After that, it took half a year more to get a group of players who were willing to try...
