Also unrelated: I love this kind of thread. Detailed analysis is fun to me, even if it is of mundane corners of the rules. Thanks OP!

On the plus side, the people with low strength scores tend to not be wearing armor, so that helps them out a little. Really the most boned person is the psion who wants to wear armor rather than waste PPs on Inertial Armor.

Though druid is an obvious choice, I'd actually suggest the beguiler if you want to play a stealthy intrigue game. If the monk has hide and move silently maxed out, you could be a sneaky, stealthy pair. Focus on finding creative solutions to problems rather than brute force fights. If your DM...

ZGF! ZOMBIE GOBLIN FOOTBALL! You have enough for two teams of 11, 1 coach for each team, and a 7 man referee crew (Referee, umpire, head linesman, line judge, field judge, side judge, back judge). Now you just need to find some dead elf cheerleader zombies.

Not strange at all, since apparently the original designers had no idea about balance and playtests were of dubious help in that regard. All in all, warriors have had to be consistently powered up throughout the 3rd edition existence to come close to matching the capabilities of spellcasters...

I am assume you managed to skip the first sentence of the spell. "Immediately upon completion of the spell, and once per round thereafter, you may call down A 5-foot-wide, 30-foot-long, vertical bolt of lightning..." A = This is a singular pronoun. bolt = notice the lack of an "S" which would...

Clearly the words of someone who has never fought a frenzied berserker.

What are good prestige classes out there for making a non-magical, non-divine, warrior? Also my group isn't using ToB (otherwise I'd probably just make a Warblade 20, or one of the ToB PrCs). Basically I'm building a character that is taking a few levels of a short PrC up until 8th level, but...

I'm confused about the purpose of this thread. Is it just "wow guys, Mobility totally does what it says it does!"?

I considered FB, but I won't go that route unless I can assure I can make all the will saves consistently to get out of it. I was thinking Barbarian 1 (whirling and pouncing) / Fighter 2 / Ranger 1 (skills, and to get fast movement back from wildshape variant) / Warshaper 4.... but I don't...

I'm not concerned about my DM thinking I'm overpowered next to the druid in the party. General rule: warriors need all the powering up they can get. Rules: It is pretty clear that they qualify by the rules. Whether you think that is bad, see the general rule stated above.

After some consideration, and talking with people in #enworld, I've decided to go with a changeling warshaper. Now the discussion is whether a raging pouncing barbarian warshaper is more or less awesome that a dervish claw-fighting warshaper. :)

Are you concerned about arcane spell failure? If not, chainmail or a breastplate is the way to go, depending on your dexterity.

Thanks for breaking the ice Danny! Also I forgot to mention: Almost any WotC sources are ok, except no Tome of Battle and no Dragon mags.

So I haven't played in a year or more, and I'm joining a party in progress. The party is currently a bunch of level 8 characters, but at least one other player will be joining at the same time as me. All joining characters will be level 7. Here is is what I know of the other party members...

The problem is the misuse of the word "retroactive" in reference to Constitution. Constitution is in no way "retroactive." Constitution affects your current total HP and your current max HP. Lets say you have bob the human fighter. He has 12 con, he is level 1. He had 1 HD which grants him...

True Resurrection. If only 2-3 members of your large party survive, that's ok. Death is an inconvenience.

Note that wands of Lesser Vigor are probably a better choice for use outside of combat.

Warblade!

I've always assumed A.
