    Who makes the better Archer?

    Oh yah and the AA...ack that is a really weak class IMO. I can't believe they didn't at least add some DR penetrating capabilities. I am also underwhelmed with the new OOBI. Take a Greatbow and one level of EWM for close combat shot instead.

    Who makes the better Archer?

    Personally I prefer the ranger as an Archer. The favored enemy bonuses really stack up nicely (balances out specialization in many cases), the stealth and spot skills also work very well to make a versatile long range archer. Also at higher levels the hide and HiPS abilities are a nice plus...

    Do the spell research rules discourage spell research?

    If your mage is to poor to do it on his own, then have him go out and find investors. Once he knows what kind of spell he wants to make, he can go to person or group who might be interested in such a spell and you can RP the negotiations. If your mage isn't much on diplomacy, then that just...

    Does it stack? 2 gold stars for the oversight!

    Then he shouldn't use the word "always". And flyspeck, I see a "+" there...looks like a bonus to me.

    Does it stack? 2 gold stars for the oversight!

    Sage forgot about toughness I guess. I especially like how he says it's ALWAYS true. He should know by now to be very careful with that word.

    Do the spells of a slain spellcaster end the instant he is killed?

    Bah, I say yes...stack 'em all and let god sort them out. Or the DM. It's the powergamer's motto.

    grapple, pinning and doing damage

    I disagree. A successful grapple check is any time you make a check and beat your opponent. This includes resisting grapples (but not escape artist) and making or resisting pin checks.

    Best Names ever given to PC's Weapons

    I was looking at creating a Wind-based dagger for a game once. Here are some powers I thought up when the item would be fully unlocked by slaying an air elemental whose spirit would be sucked into the blade and fuel its powers. The nice thing about it is that it will scale depending on the power...

    Darn it, it's hard not to mourn for your bad guys!

    if a thought golem seems to nebulous (heh), there is that big walking brain thing from 2e Planescape...that could be converted. Man those were nasty. Hmm that may be too similar to the Brain Golem that PC used recently...

    Darn it, it's hard not to mourn for your bad guys!

    hmm plane of pure thought...Ultralithid... Why couldn't his mind be absobed into the plane and now you've got a honked off Demiplane gunning for the players? I'm thinking of the layer of the Abyss from Dance of Demons (Gord the Rogue book) that was actually a big Demon and could create...

    Skill requirement for a Druid/Heirophant.

    The original class was Kn: Religion. The FRCS errata added Kn: Nature because they realized the whole Druid issue that you've run into. 3.5...sigh. Like the changing of Bracers of Health BACK to Ammy's and the Dimensional Lock spell being 8th instead of 5th, they forgot to use the errata...

    Divine Might/Divine Shield

    Yeah the Sage's "ruling" only applied to Divine Might, not Shield. Odd that the flavor text for Divine Shield still states that it aids in offence but the rules text doesn't support that at all.

    Occult Slayer... ideas and opinions please.

    Grazzt...VERY nice work. The number of times my Living Greyhawk fighter/rogue Spiked Chain weilder has been victimized by mages made this class a must have. After 3 years of playing the character I finally found a PrC that fit his abilities and temperment. *shakes your hand too* *note the...

    Occult Slayer... ideas and opinions please.

    Yup, OS works with missile weapons. Also consider using the greatbow and taking a level of EWM for the ability to shoot while threatened without provoking AoO's. With you readying vs enemy spellcasters the rest of your party can operate unhindered. As for the flavor text, you can work with a...

    Occult Slayer... ideas and opinions please.

    Consider the utility of an Archer OS..using Manyshot on the readied action to disrupt, you would be an excellent mage killer. If not, the spiked chain is great for the reach. 6 ranger, cross class into Kn: Arcana and Spellcraft, archery path, favored enemy Humans +4 and maybe Aberrations +2, or...

    [SPOILERS] Angel Episode 1/28/2004: "Damage"

    Everyone seems to be assuming that this Ep was filler and had nothing really to do with Angel. Did anyone think that this may be the beginnings of a major new story arc? Whether you like Buffy or not, the fact is that it's a shared universe and the awakening of the Slayers is a major power...

    Unconscious Saves: The Official Word

    Anyone notice that his cowering point seems to imply now that being flatfooted, climbing or balancing would cost you your Dex to ref saves? Aargh indeed.
