    Overlooked, underappreciated, spells and powers

    It's a ranged touch attack so with the druid's 3/4 BAB hitting shouldn't be a problem. At 8th level, the druid can can throw 2d6 + 10 pts of damage per round for 4 rounds (avg. 17/round) . A wizard can only do this for magic missile at 9th level and only for 1 round. If produce flame is...

    Psionics: Balance and Integration

    Modifying monsters is way more work than just having a psionics/magic transparency. If you going to make monsters as immune to psionics as they are to magic why bother then? Might as well save yourself some work and just follow the default transparency rules. YMMV.

    Overlooked, underappreciated, spells and powers

    Magical vestments. Did you know Magic vestments on shields and armour stack? Air walk. Did you know that Air walk lasts 10 min/level? Prayer. Did you know that Prayer gives bigger penalties than Waves of Fatigue (arcane 5th level spell). Searing Light. Did you know that Searing Light damage...

    Psionics: Balance and Integration

    The cardinal rule to remember is that the psion cannot spend more PSPs on a power than she has manifester levels. Unless utilising things like Overchannel and that is painful. Secondly do not change the default psionics/magic transparency or you will regret allowing psionics at all. Keep these 2...

    6th level spell for a Sorceror

    It has to be between True Seeing and Contingency. Under core rules Contingency is one of the few ways sorcerers can cast a more tan 1 spell a round.

    Item Creation Caster Level

    After thinking about this, I agree with Skip. Has the rapture happened? I must have missed it :(. This is not a balance issue but a consistency issue. It ends up being a balance issue because wizards are crippled but I don't think it is a balance issue initially. The reason why I think they...

    Item Creation Caster Level

    So which is it? Is Skip's errata to the DMG's errata official? Remember that the rules of the game article came out after the errata to the DMG?

    Rules of the Game: All about Clerics, Part 1

    Isn't it strange that the article didn't cover leaving slots open during the day for maximum flexibility or maybe divine spell research. Maybe that's in the next article.

    Shadow Walk - Multiple Jumps?

    Really? Wasn't the user able to pin point exactly where they left the Shadow Plane instead of the nerfed 3.5 version where they're effectively blind?

    The reason for the cleric class' lack of popularity?

    I have an abundance of clerics in my campaign. 3 clerics and 1 rogue to be exact. No shortage of people wanting to play clerics either.

    Wizard specialization incentives

    According to Andy picking a PHB elf and being a specialist wizard is viable. Hence the racial sub level is balanced against specialist wizards. Therefore if PHB elf + wizard racial sub level = viable wizard and PHB elf + specialist wizard = viable wizard then one can generalise that elven...

    Okay so you hate Dragonlance, how can the current designers improve it?

    I loved the old DL but the setting is getting dated with quite a number of internal consistency problems. I bought the DLCS and Age of Mortals and I stopped buying. One of the most jaring aspects of D20 DL is the retconning of the structure of the gods and magic. The introduction of Chaos in...

    More Versatile Priests/Wizards - Game Balance Problem?

    In 3.x clerics and wizards no longer "memorise" their spells. Instead they prepare them. They incant thes words and make the gestures of the spell except for the final word/gesture/component which is done during spellcasting.

    Wizard specialization incentives

    This means that the elven wizard substitution level is outright better than any other types of wizard that elves can be, which was denied by a subsequent email by Andy, or the racially substituded elven wizard is balanced with specialist elven wizards, which means that specialist wizards are...
