Being a Fighter/Mage actually improves the familiars value quite a bit. Although it lacks in the Familiar special abilities compared to a pure caster (unless you take the obatain Familiar feat), your sidekick gets way better HP and BAB from you. This also makes the improved Familiar feat more...

A non-magic item environment ist even more tainted than a normal or powerful magic one, because it strongly favors self-sufficient classes like Monks or spellcasters. It completely screws up equipment-dependant 'mundane' classes, especially fighters.

No, But they could activate Boots of Speed (a bargain and must have for 11K Gold) which can be activated as a free action, that does not provoke an AoO and then improved trip the hell out of you with a tripping weapon. Things get even worse if this happens to be a reach weapon. That way you...

Yes I factored that in. This may be the main reason why your character is stronger than the rest of your party. Using normal Point-buy a Fighter/Mage has to spread the points beween physical stats and intelligence, and ends up having sub par physical stats in comparison to a straight Fighter...

How did you get those ability scores? 40 point point-buy? Yes the character does have a lot of advantages over a standard fighter, alone by the fact that spellcasting is so very versatile in D&D. However the EK is still lacking in some areas. You don't have the tactical finesse of a Fighter...

I dont see how a floating eyeball without limbs would defend itself in the first place. Even less why would firing an eye ray cause it to 'let it's defences down' so that you get an AoO?

Thank you!

According to the DMG NPC classes should be treated exactly as PC classes. However in the various Monter Manuals and the like a Warrior's first Hit Dice is always rolled, whereas a PC always gets the maximum result of the first HD. I haven't found anything else on that matter, so is this really...

Does that imply that all non-Wizard Elf characters are Wild Elves?

Supposed a Hydra's necks are as flexible as a giraffe's, well let me answer with this picture: Other than that, since the rules don't support such a move, I think it comes down to a grapple.

But Exp. Retreat does increase the land speed by 30 ft. even if wearing Heavy Armor or if the base land speed of the recipient is lower than 30 ft., right?

So does that mean that Haste and Expeditious Retreat do not stack at all?

The difference is, that the power of the spell has to be granted during the process of praying. Without praying (meaning preparing a spell slot) there is no spell power that can be converted, only spell potential that has to be filled by further praying.

No it does not make sense. A Cleric is required to spend at least an hour of praying and contemplation to gain his divine spells. If he does not, he cannot transform 'potentially possible spells' into cure spells, he must have completed the preparation.

Once a Druid has a thousand faces, this isn't a problem anymore. The Warshaper abilities even function while in Human form.

I think it's self-evident that the Warshaper isn't too appealing to spellcaster Druids. But for Druids who focus on combat and Wildshape, or 'real' Shifter classes it's powers are extremly potent. And don't forget the Druids A Thousand Faces ability which they get at 13th level, or the Master of...

One of my players plans to play a Shifter class in the future and mentioned the Warshaper from CW. Is it only my impression that the Warshapers class abilities are way over the top for a shapechanging character? This PRC has no requirements apart from +4 BAB and Shapechanging abilitiy, which...

No. That's not a Monk Class feature, but part of the Improved Unarmed Strike, which the belt doesn't grant.

I wouldn't, as powerful build is already extremly good as it is.

Perhaps the way ranged spells are aimed is always the same, no matter if it is a magic ray, arrow or blast. On the other hand the way you throw a Dagger, an Axe or a Shuriken differs tremendously.
