    Ultimate 12th level fighty type build?

    Which books can you use? How will you determine ability scores? What are the rules for the "froo-frah"? Size of the battle-area? Buff time?

    Disarm with a Reach Weapon

    Nope. Trip attacks, set against charge. Target gets +4 AC from cover.

    Disarm with a Reach Weapon

    A halberd is not a reach weapon?

    Wraithstrike balance evaluation examples

    You keep emphasizing how there's disagreement and how your opinion differs with ours. You've made yourself an authority in an argument from authority. If your posts show you avoiding opposing arguments and refusing to justify your claims that makes your opinion worthless. You demanded "a...

    What gameworld would you want to be in?

    Amber for the win! (With the Amber Diceless system. Never actually played it.) I'd want Pattern Imprint of course. I tend to like the shiny, shiny powers, so I'd probably sacrifice my attributes for some tricks like Conjuration, Shape Shifting and maybe Sorcery. Item transferal min/maxing to...

    Wraithstrike balance evaluation examples

    I've seen the error of my ways! No class ability, spell, feat or magic item is overpowered if some class ability, spell, feat or magic item published somewhere is as powerful or more powerful under the right circumstances. This new standard is going to make game design a lot easier... :\

    Wraithstrike balance evaluation examples

    You're being untruthful, The_Furious_Puffin. Shivering touch has SR. (Still broken though.) That's AC 27, your hit points don't change when you polymorph and you can't cast shivering touch in gray render form. (At level 12 experienced min/maxers tend to go for the war troll (MMIII) form if...

    Need help deciding what to play...

    Unless the other players used different character generation rules than the OP, he can't be a githyanki. (Yes, Thanee is nitpicking. :))

    Do the moderators check statistics?

    I think it's probably the mods. They keep posting those warnings and nobody pays any attention. :p

    Polymorph: Vermin Traits

    Rules of the Game says you don't get the immunity. http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/rg/20040525a The same article says you get it with plants though.

    Help revamping Assassin/Arcane Trickster

    Warning: I'm not all that familiar with this type of character, so I may have overlooked some rule issues. That said, I suggest: Rog4/Bard 1/Assassin 5/Sublime Chord 2 (CArc)/Arcane Trickster 8 Feats: Able Learner (RacDest)(Human), TWF (1), Weapon Finesse (3), Extra Music (CAdv) (6)...

    Help with War Hulk build ...

    They have to stand up eventually, which triggers an AoO. (Ok, so they don't have to stand up. If they just stay down and let you hammer them into the ground then so much the better.) The thing is, an AoO will often be the lesser of two evils. The "intelligent" move is usually to get close ASAP...

    Help with War Hulk build ...

    +2 Dex is a cost-effective way to boost AC. He'll want +4 Gloves of Dexterity to go with his mithral full plate (of speed?) eventually. Probably "never", as the war hulk doesn't get BAB increases. :) A half-ogre with a chain has 20' reach. Smaller opponents pretty much have to suck up an AoO...

    Help with War Hulk build ...

    Sticking with the basics from your build I'd do something like: 3rd/ECL 5 -- Barbarian 1. Rage (Whirling Frenzy) and Fast Movement. Exotic Weapon Proficiency: Chain (SavSpec or OAdv). A reach weapon is very useful for a war hulk since you depend on having targets lined up within your reach...

    Is Wraithstrike the wrong level?

    There's no need for a distinction. The example ghost can't attack material opponents. It does not have a magic weapon, much less a ghost touch weapon. "A ghost retains all the attacks of the base creature, although those relying on physical contact do not affect creatures that are not...

    Is Wraithstrike the wrong level?

    Nope. You can't affect the material plane from the ethereal plane. The ghost must manifest first. "A manifesting ghost can wield the weapon against corporeal foes." -- ghost touch ability.

    Wraithstrike balance evaluation examples

    I admit to loosing interest in this subject when I realized that wraithstrike bypasses DR. (I don't see how it's "ambiguous".) It made it too obvious. But I still want to address a few of the arguments from the last few days. I apologize for keeping the thread alive. :) Power Attack is not the...
