I have a hard time seeing how you magic item deprived characters survive regular combats at level 15. Unless they almost exclusively encounter npc's with the same restrictions. Looking at monsters (just SRD) with CR of 13-17 I see dragons, giants, demons, devils and nightshades. A giant/dragon...

Ki Blast feat from PH2

I suspect that the keep and wizards/spellcasters might be the players and/or their allies. And the attacking force is the reaction to annoying PC's inteference with the lawful rulers of the attacking country. RangerWickett. Could you elaborate about the scenario and the PC's place in it? And...

Delibaretely not allowed by the gestalt rules along with classes like Mystic Theurge.

I agree with the majority of the posters here. There is no feasable winning strategy for the attackers. So far no one has even mentioned the wizards easy solution to running out of spells. Wands and Scrolls. Knowing they will be attacked they produce some wands of fireball, scrolls of...

I dislike it enough to avoid/leave threads where it shows up. That said I'm leaving ;)

That is only true if you consider the fighter class weak by itself. PH2 helps out a lot in that regard. Anyway I had a fighter 8/Cleric 1 in one of my games. He wasn't weak at all. He fought just as well as any other fighter. Could use small selfbuffs (bless, divine favor, shield of faith) and...

Here is an alternative 20 levels ranger that should be more 1ed style (disclaimer: I don't remember the 1ed ranger very well, so I'm going on your work and other threads about 1ed rangers).

OK. So the Ranger lord over 10 levels get. +10 BAB 10d8 HP +7 Fort and Will (Will saves being the traditional warrior achilles heel) +3 Refl Heavy armor proficiency (You might want to add medium armor proficiency as rangers don't have proficiency in that either) +5d6 damage vs. 3 types of...

Yep chimps are pretty scary. Half the body weight of a human, but five times the strength. And those hunting chimps just have an evil glint in their eye. They really look mean. The last clip I saw they hunted down a young chimp from another tribe, ripped it apart and ate it. Cannibals I tell you :)

Different standards I guess. To me the cleric is already such a strong class that a little weakening isn't a bad thing. The build I presented is hardly optimal, but he would do fine in any 3ed game I have ever played. The thing is that the 3ed cleric is a far more competent fighter than the...

Hehe. Thats how it goes when english isn't your first language. Mistakes creep in. What did you think about my suggested ranger tweaks, as an alternative to your prestige class?

Nope. But it would make sense IMO that Barbs and rangers didn't get access to any of these feats at all. They should be one of the few perks that fighters have.

No need for anything fancy here going on the information you provided. A straight cleric/fighter build should suffice. Keep the fighter level much lower than the cleric level, a total of 2 or 4 fighter levels should be enough. Using just SRD this would be about the lowest level build that fits...

That penultimate class ability, Ranger lord mastery, is way over the top crazy powerful. Expect to see loads of ranger lord pc's armed with scythes or picks to get those *4 criticals for free. I also don't like the armor abilities. Why would a ranger move more easily in armor than a fighter...

No need for cheesy undead sneak attacking. Tell him to pile those skill points into Use magic device and stock up on wands and scrolls (of undead deterring spell like searing light and mass cure spells or just plain old evocation favorites like fireball and magic missile). That will leave him...

With four low level mages they will do great for the first and possibly second encounter of the day. By then they will have run out of spells and be looking for rest. You should strongly suggest that one of the illusionist finds a different speciality. Conjuration or Evocation would be very...

Not really IMO when its classes you make yourself. For puplished ones you need to make sure they dont get any abilities that will be disruptive at low levels (flying, teleporting, huge damage etc.). But if a prestige class is available at low levels it sometimes is better (and possibly more...

Err....no. It is exactly what I do not look for. I am quite content with HP and abstractness. IMO Swords of Sharpness (and Vorpal weapons) enforce a strange kind of pseudo realism back in the game where you have damage that bypass the HP system. That leaves anyone equally vulnerable to them...

That table is crazy. If someone gets their arm or leg hacked of they are dead in seconds without serious medical attention. Even if they should somehow survive the terrible wound they sure as hell wont be able to fight on. There is good reason the Sword of Sharpness has been left out, it...
