    Dragon #354 cover (hot modron action)

    Any DM's not allowing Spiked Chains?

    The problem is that most exotic weapons are worthless, not that some characters might want to wield a spiked chain. Let's look at them: Kama: oh look a sickle, I'm paying a feat to refer to my simple weapon by it's Japanese name. nunchaku: it's a light version of the flail, except it can't...

    Military tactics vs. high-level spellcasters

    Why will it take a month for your army to reach attack position? If it is because your objective is 500 miles away from your available staging area, you don't want to assault it this immediately. If the fortress is near the border with your land you need a reasonably secure staging area (a...

    The "Build"

    Agreed, and anything that isn't easy usually requires knowledge about your campaign world and group dynamics that can be very hard to communicate over a messageboard post. For the mechanical side we have a more common language in the rules.

    What are your thoughts on ANIME's influence on D&D?

    Anime's influence on D&D is vastly overstated if it exists at all. There is simply a substantial group of people who credit any moderately capable PC with abilities remincent of Gilgamesh, Enkidu, Herakles, Achilles, Odysseus, Cúchulainn, Beowulf, El Cid, Roland, Alexander the Great, Conan...

    Not just any undead, in order for greater turning to have any meaningful effect on play the undead must be: Turnable, for by the time the ability is gained an increasing number of undead have to many hit dice and turn resistance to be turned. Not destroyable, for the weakest undead can already...

    As opposed to your side which has at best unbacked assertions that create logical inconsistencies in the rules and are repeatedly implied to be false?

    Most broken prestige classes?

    You have given logically faulty assertions unbacked by evidence. That you have said it does not make a statement a proof.

    Most broken prestige classes?

    There is no reason why the burden of proof falls on me rather than you, and while I have not demonstrated that my reading is the only valid reading of the rules I have shown it to be the strongest and most consistent reading of the rules.

    By that reading if a first level cleric of Pelor were to prepare Cause fear, it would continue to be a Death domain spell even cast out of a cleric spell slot rather than a domain spell slot. If this first level cleric of Pelor were to decide that a cure light wounds would be more useful than...

    Or you can realize that by the time a Warmage gets access to the cleric spell list Wizards have had that access with limited wish for three levels, and that if you are going to ask a pure caster to fall two spell levels behind to get something it had better be very good.
