At level 6, you definitely want to take a Divine Feat so you can use your turn attempts on something useful. So, you can't start a new feat chain unless you plan on dipping into Fighter or something at level 5. If you plan on doing that, then the Mounted Combat chain might be an option to...

First, this is not a new issue. As I am sure you remember from 1E, wizards required inordinate amounts of downtime from the start. They wanted downtime to learn new spells, they wanted downtime to make scrolls (every wizard could at level 7+), and they wanted it to prepare spells (it took...

I wouldn't give a HUGE discount. For a ray-shooting wizard, finding gloves of Dex +4 are nearly as good as finding gloves of +2 to hit with Touch Attacks. For a rogue/wizard, finding something that boosts touch attacks is nearly as good as the others. My suggestion would be to find a spell...

There are some druid variants out there that might fit what you're looking for. Shapeshifter from PHB2 - Lose companion & wildshape, gain weaker but unlimited uses/day shapeshifting Swift Hunter from UA - Lose wildshape, gain ranger/monk abilities. Druidic Avenger - Lose companion, gain Rage...

Planar Shephard is ridicolously, totally broken. Other than that, I'd second the above poster who advises sticking in Druid -- Druid 20 IS like a prestige class. It is so chock full of awesome goodies that you can't beat it. Two strong saves, the second best BAB, a solid D8 HD, little to no...

I'd think this would be within the purview of a Heal check, or perhaps Knowledge (Nature) or Knowledge Local (to ID local afflictions that are common).

I'd skip Assassin altogether and just be an evil Beguiler that kills people for profit. Assassin doesn't progress your spellcasting progression; Assassin grants SA dice which synergize well with close-in melee using TWF, which is NOT a Beguiler's forte; Assassin reduces your skill points even...

I think its fine. For 750 GP, you could have a Wand of CLW or Lesser Vigor or Faith Healing. The wand of Lesser Vigor heals 11 HP * 50 charges = 550 HP. To heal that many HP with your healing belt, you have to own it for at least 20 days, and you have to maximize the healing every day. Also...

I pointed this out to him at the session and he agreed... All he really wanted out of the draconic feats was Draconic Flight, which is far inferior to Fell Flight. So he just made a straight warlock 6. Much more effective and simpler to boot!

The Divine Power spell makes your BAB equal to that of a fighter. With Persistent Spell, it lasts all day.

I agree with you; its certainly not optimal, but he wants to do it.

Hello, I have a player that wants to build a Sorcerer 1/Warlock X. He is taking the Sorcerer level so as to qualify for Draconic Heritage (CA). Can he then use warlock invocations to fuel, say, Draconic Flight? That feat reads: "After you cast an arcane spell with a casting time of one...

Try to use a class that keys off of Wisdom, Int, or Cha. Might I suggest an aged battle-cleric of Heironious, Cuthbert or some other martial deity of your choice? The physical stat hits are easily mitigated by your super awesome spells. The boost to Wis and Cha will help out a ton. Finally...

I'd second the call for decreasing the availability of stat boosting items. I'd just increase the cost of all such items by +25% or so depending on how out of control the ability scores are. You can also give a LA of +1 "behind the scenes" to accomodate for the great stats. Think of the great...

The real problem is that you are playing Druidzilla and overshadowing the other players. Perhaps adopting the weaker PHBII shapeshift druid and dropping Wildshape + Animal Companion to focus on your summons will be a more acceptable compromise. I find the ruling, as well, to be ill thought out...

Sounds like a good time for a +2 circumstance bonus to the player's detection rolls (and potentially initiative).

Its worth noting that one strong thing about wizards is that they have little MAD. They really only need high INT and good CON. Decent DEX doesn't hurt but isn't required. Everything else can be dumped (except Charisma for enchanters). Thus, they really excel in games with lower point buy...

IF you get charmed... and IF you fail your save... and IF the BBEG passes a CHA check to give you an order... and IF you have no protection against sonic, mind affecting, charm, enchantments... Then this is an issue. IF you have actually hauled a fellow PC or closely allied NPC in for...

I think its fine. The character still doesn't have as many spells per day as a sorcerer "blaster" might, but they aren't quite as limited either. Imagine a spectrum. The folks on the left are best at "nova" tactics in that they tend to have the most potent abilities, but the fewest times per...

Not really. First mook charges in, gets AoO'd, and dies. Second mook charges in, gets AoO'd, and dies. Third mook charges in, gets AoO'd, and dies. Fighter is now out of Combat Reflexes AoO. Fourth mook charges in and readies a grapple attack vs. his friends arriving. Fifth mook charges in and...
