    Who Has Actually Played/Run Burning Sky

    After a long delay, we finally got the group back together to finish this one off. The battle with the Black Horse was quite brutal. 3rd level party (no Torrent though) took it on the chin.

    Yet Another Variant: The Fighter...

    The duelist ability is a prestige class ability that works only in no armor with no shield while holding a melee weapon and limited to your intelligence bonus. At best you could get +1 by 7th level. Your fighter war talent works in full plate, with a shield or a bow. You can get +1 at first...

    Mission to the Monastery of Two Winds

    Yeah! If only my group could get together enough to get out of the first adventure. Still, I like reading them and dreaming of a day when we can game more than once a month.

    Yet Another Variant: The Fighter...

    The point was that +1 Will Save does not compare well with some of the other options such as +1 AC. I've seen many characters take 4 levels of fighter for Weapon Spec. Now you can get the same effect in 3 levels, and it applies to all melee weapons. Long term (20 level perspective) I agree...

    Yet Another Variant: The Fighter...

    I like the concept, but the war talents are all over the place in terms of power. Bravery is +2 on very specific saves. Magicbane is +2 on almost every save. Heightened Willpower is half of an average feat (Iron Will). Melee Smash is better than half of a good feat (weapon spec). Canny Dodge is...

    Too much incentive to stay dead

    Starting one level behind isn't that much of a penalty. In 3.5, lower level characters earn XP much faster and catch up in no time.

    Oots #456

    That or fear of Spell Turning. It doesn't work against touch spells but does against blindness. Not that it's all that relavent in this case because I'm sure neither cleric has Magic or Luck domains.

    Do two different Resist Energies Stack?

    Of course, those are two different spells. Animal Affinity manifested for strength and Animal Affinity manifested for dexterity are the same ability used twice. Entirely different case.

    Do two different Resist Energies Stack?

    If there were two spells "Resist Cold" and "Resist Electricity", I would agree with you. But there is only one spell: Resist Energy. Can you have two active copies of that spell at the same time? Do you allow multiple versions of the psionic power Animal Affinity for different attributes?

    Reducing Level Adjustment through Feats

    Large-sized great swords deal 3d6 damage. Orcs have light sensitivity and will often suffer -1 to hit. Lower levels is when LA really hurts fighter types. Try the analysis at a higher level.

    Reducing Level Adjustment through Feats

    Arcana Unearthed Giant levels have BAB +0 at first level, thus being a significant cost. Being large is also quite a cost as it is -1 to hit and -1 AC. A Goliath with your two feats could be 4th level with full BAB, still wield large weapons, and suffer no to hit or AC. And those extra figher...

    Reducing Level Adjustment through Feats

    I think someone came up with a feat being roughly equal to 1/5th of a level. So by that determination, giving a whole level to someone with a feat is about five times too powerful. Think of a Goliath or Half-Giant who spends a feat to get rid of the +1 LA.

    Your Top 5/10 Favorite WotC Supplementary Rulebooks

    At first I thought it was a typo, but many people are saying "Heroes of Battle" at least one with "Tome of Battle" in the same list. Go figure.

    Potential Errata Thread

    Shealis has the Mageknight alternate class feature that allows her to cast in light armor without checking for spell failure. This is the reason why she doesn't have Scribe Scroll and has three barred schools.
