If you use the table Rainbow Servant is fair, even with Warmages and Beguilers. Hulking Hurler is broken in practice, but the problem is in the improvised weapon table, not the class. Radiant Servant of Pelor gives up little to gain little. It becomes problematic if you don't know what a...

Less so than Elves. Warforged have no ability that makes them more resistant to exposure than other races and other environmental hazards present a greater obstacle to them than other races as they cannot doff their armor to avoid the associated skill penalties. (unless they did not spend their...

The "General Consensus" is composed in this case of people who have never played in a game using Warforged, hate the concept and are responding to exactly the same impulse that deludes people into thinking that the monk is drastically overpowered. Warforged are underpowered.

What is it about fire spells that makes them less dangerous to Soulforged than otherwise identical Spell-like (or Supernatural) abilities? Assuming that they have the same healing and repair rules as conventional Warforged, Soulforged look like Only mildly underpowered Rogues, rangers or Druids...

I found C&C eliminated complexity where it increased tactical depth or fun and added complexity that reduced fun and consistency without increasing tactical depth.

Crown, Orb, Scepter.

Using Practiced spellcaster to concentrate spellcasting ability in Ultimate Magus is neither game breaking nor anything other than offsetting penalties when multiclassing. Open up your copy of Complete Mage and look at the sample Ultimate Magus, imagine you have been assigned her as a pre-gen...

From 2-11 you are a half spell level behind, from 12-18 you are a full spell level behind. at 20th you are down a 7th level spell an 8th level spell and 2 9th level spells from a straight wizard. Not an insurmountable sacrifice, but a sacrifice nonetheless. Besides, your build uses practiced...

The metamagic tricks aren't any better than the metamagic tricks of any number of PrCs that don't kill your access to higher level spells.

Casting fly on the whole group looks less good when you realize that you are giving up high level spell slots that could be used for spells like say... mass fly. Using practiced spellcaster to reduce the hit to your high level spellcasting is assumed in the balance of the class. It makes it a...

But you seem to have forgotten Beowulf tearing off Grendel's arm; his fingertips blazing like ten bright stars and burning deep holes in the flesh of the beast. Which is much closer to the kind of things martial adepts do than DBZ is.

Barbarians are super-tough thanks to their d12 hit dice and damage reduction, have a generous allotment for skills, awesome swift movement, and oodles of other dandy little class features, and on top of that they can deal a megaton of damage thanks to their Rage. If that's a description of a...

And yet people call it overpowered for a swordsage to deal a smaller amount of area effect damage over a smaller area subject to all the same limitations. Plus an evoker who knows he is going to face fire resistant foe can always prep lightning bolts over fireballs whereas desert wind style...

I hav a number of better ones: the Táin Bó Cuailnge, Beowulf, the Iliad, the Odyssey, the Song of Roland, The Nibelungenlied, et cetera. Yeah there's no precedent for this sort of thing outside of the orient. really:\

How about visiting some Wizard or Dwarven Super-Craftsman and asking him if he will make you a Demon Killing sword in exchange for a great golden hoard? That's pretty similar to how Thor got his Hammer or the Nibelungen got their Ring. Also buying thing of the rack is a modernism, in the old...

Another problem with the Forsaker is an effect of the way they need to destroy magic items in order to power their class abilities. As a Forsaker eschews magical healing to reduce bed rest and magical Transportation to reach adventure locales, a party with a Forsaker is going to necessarily have...

Except that deathless frenzy doesn't prevent oyu from being knocked out if you fave taken more nonlethal damage than your current HP, and look being in a frenzy deal nonlethal damage to you. Deathless Frenzy is a messed up, ill considered ability. Edit: I should remember to read ahead before...

But they seem to Swallow the 25th level Succubus rogue maids and 30th level Beholder Wizard Dungsweepers of Sigil and ask for seconds.

I find it interesting that Union got (rightly) voted out immediately, but Sigil which has most of the same flaw plus really annoying badly faked cockney makes it to the final round.

Minor tweaks to the spell list.
