With that amount of XP and GP involved with this item, you're not going to see multiples on the same character until Epic levels. I foresee no problem.

Most of that stuff comes from European sources ... though some of them are a few centuries - or millennia - apart, they're from the same general geographic region, influenced by many of the same cultural precursors. The monk is not. I don't think anyone is claiming that the monk is the element...

My previous silly comments aside, your repeated focus on/criticism of Eurocentrism is starting to sting. No one likes being called a snob, Euro- or otherwise.

Where, exactly, do you get 3d8 damage from? I would expect to see 2d8 (for a Large bastard sword) or 4d8 (2 each for two swords). Also, there is never any reason to go with mithril (elven) chain over a mithril breastplate; by time you can afford mithril anything, the cost difference is...

Well, for starters, a Large Bastard Sword deals 2d8 damage, not 2d6. And you'll want Oversized Two-Weapon Fighting (Complete Adventurer, IIRC) if you're going to go TWF with bastard swords. Also, drop the elven chain - it gets no love in 3e. Instead, go with a mithril breastplate if you have...

Hey now, don't you go hatin' on my Eurocentrism. I prefer European stuff, I sneer at Oriental stuff, and I LIKE IT THAT WAY!! :)

Subsumed into Hanukkah this year (Dec. 25-Jan 2, starts and ends at dusk on those days).

Isn't that what the "Christmas" tree symbolizes? ;)

So...if a cleric is wielding a morningstar and a light steel shield, can he take a regular move and cast a spell as a standard action?

Well, the cleric isn't buffed the whole time... Joe Fighter Bob Cleric Gug monster Kek monster Round 1: Gug and Joe bash each other. Kek bashes Bob, Bob casts Righteous Might. Round 2: Gug and Joe bash each other. Kek bashes Bob, Bob casts Divine Power. Round 3: Gug and Joe bash each...

But the monster(s) bashing away at the cleric lives for 2-3 rounds longer than the monster(s) bashing away at the fighter.

Building up a buffer of strips in case of emergencies is all fine and good, but once you get such a buffer, it is very easy to justify any and every excuse as sufficient to raid from the buffer. Unless you have superhuman discipline, which isn't something that usually gets associated with artsy...

It also depends on monk vs. non-monk. The VoP AC bonuses make a big difference when you're comparing Bracers of Armor vs. (magical) mithral breastplate or chain shirt. I did some analysis a while back that said a monk got about 870,000gp worth of bonuses out of VoP at 20th level - compare this...

Rel, you are a disgusting human being. I like your style :D

I don't know if I still have a job or not. Last night, I called work to check on what I'm scheduled to work for next week. I found out that I wasn't listed on the schedule at all. The guy I talked to called me back a few minutes later. He was rather apologetic, saying that he'd been told not...

Such hatred! Even without idiotic mandates like that, only a fool relies on a Wiki entry as a good authority. It's good as a quick reference, but you should never try to argue anything significant based on it.

Yes, I do. Once the cleric has cast those spells and is now ready to party, the fighter has been hacking and hewing at the foes for 2 rounds already - 3 if the cleric wants to add something like Divine Favor or Prayer to the mix. Spending multiple actions like this to catch up - or even...

What does your router say?

I actually used Wikipedia as a source in a history paper I wrote this fall. It was about Henry the 8th and the Dissolution of the Monasteries, and I used the doggerel about Henry and his wives from the Wiki entry.

If your example caster is in the midst of combat where he gets a lot of chances to take AoOs, then I hope he's paid up on his Raise Dead insurance. Two-handed weapon or no, he's going to NEED it. There are many things in D&D that can be twinked into imbalance. Spellcasters wielding two-handed...
