Baveboi, this thread isn't a referendum on WotC. But it sounds like you would like to go make one. If that serves your purposes, go do that. Here, in a thread specifically titled in such a way as to engender discussion of the good or bad aspects of bards, I'm afraid we're going to get into...

...which I never enjoyed using as a bard, so no loss to me. But regarding the errata, StreamOfTheSky, you didn't use your limited per day class feature to heal a whopping 13 hp with a cantrip. You used it after a fight, when everyone was wounded, to make ALL your cantrips do a whopping 13 HP...

Whaa? :.-( What is the point, then? The cleric can get that bonus all on his or her own. The entire point was to make the healing spells do more than they normally can. Ugh.

I think I'm going to max his UMD and give him a wand of Stoneskin. I also think I'm going to give him Combat Reflexes and one of the retaliation feats, such as Robilar's Gambit. So he'll get surrounded by 6 level 6 PCs, and they'll probably each land 1 blow per round. The first round, this...

By my reading of it, 1 activation covers any 1-handed weapons you wield. If you have Girlallion's Blessing and a one-handed slashing weapon in each of your 4 hands, activating this feat causes all four weapons to be affected. Just my reading, but I don't see anything in the text that...

Uh:

Uh, posting after 10 days isn't really thread necromancy, at least not here on EnWorld, where a 10 day old thread is typically still on page 1 or 2. Regarding good bard builds, you can get your Inspire Courage up even at early levels to flat-out awesome bonus ranges. If you have access to the...

Is there any way for a bard -- on his own -- to acquire damage reduction? Preferably 3+ points for at least a few rounds (until he croaks). He's level 10, which I believe gives him up to level 4 bard spells. I need a little DR so that he'll be able to solo in battle against 6th-level PCs for...

YES. I loved the underground connections between areas in that module. In fact, I just generally loved the Necromancer modules. I had a great time reading The Grey Citadel (but haven't got to play it yet), and I ran the first half of Trouble at Durbenford, and had a blast. At first I felt I...

Aside from Divine Magician (which I cannot use), are there feats that would allow me to use a druid/wizard spell in place of a 6th level spell? Even if I have to take a spell that is a level or two lower, that might be interesting. Also, if I end up trying out Summon Monster VI, which of the...

My cleric is about to get level 6 spells. I've looked in the PHB and the Spell Compendium, and I really don't see anything useful. In fact, the spells seem so unimpressive that I'm considering just filling the level 6 slots with some level 5 spells that I like better. This obviously must be a...

Saeviomagy, if that's the case, the article needs a rewrite, because it's not anywhere near as clear about it as you are. But even still, how in the world does that apply here? I mean... how would saying "Love her and she'll come around" help when the entire point is that they're in love...

Mark, It'd be great if you could explain how. Maybe quote some of his words and explain how they lead to a theme that is opposite of what I interpreted? Thanks! EDIT: Ah, I see that the author of the article is you. So yeah, you've taken offense that I think your article is a total failure...

Somebody help me with this. It appears to be terrible, terrible advice. Am I missing something? Let me explain what I interpreted, and you tell me if I got it wrong. Mark, your article seems to suggest, "My marriage lasts because I give in to everything my wife wants, always. And don't tell...

I'm uncomfortable with this. We're now calling the paying customers "pirates" because $10/month is a good value? That's piracy? "Whoa! I found a bargain, but I'm nervous to take it, because hey, piracy."

Knowing what I know now, at age 39? I'd flee. I've now been with 2 women who had very clear ideas of how I had to change to fit their idea of what an acceptable man should be, and in both cases, ouch. Like, heartbreak ouch. My wife was OK with D&D for a few years. I didn't do it much for...

Why not play BFRPG? Basic Fantasy? Old style D&D with d20 mechanic and race/class separated. For me, I've found that I really love 3.5 edition D&D, but also, I took the idea of E6, and made my game an "E14" game. That is, 14th level is the max. After that, you get a new feat each time you...

My belief is that the AOO happens outside of your turn, and therefore is not part of the full attack action that gives you a -2 for off hand weapon use. Thus, you are making a standard action single attack with the main hand, and thus have no penalty.

Persiflage, just to note, there are a lot of people here in these forums who will tell you that the Handy Haversack overrides the quick draw and forces each retrieval to be a move action, rendering it a terrible choice for throwing stuff. See here...

Radmod, I believe that the "full round action" for splash weapons was only intended to apply to items that required a wick or some kind of setup. Like oil. Here is something I wrote on the forum for my own game:
