I could find no logical reason to disallow Shield Potions. I think what it comes down to is the fact that the Shield Spell itself is unbalanced. +7 is too powerful at 1st level. It seems playable only because Mages do not have Armor. Since the Shield is unbalanced with Armor, they should...

Answers A) You do have a good point here, but not much of one. If concerned about dealing with high DR, get yourself a Ring of +5 Magic Fang. or similar item. Power Attack is a poor way to deal with that situation. B) Cleave and Great Cleave do have some uses, but are not that powerfull...

Regarding lightning Fists. PROVE IT. I did the math, i would love to see yours. My math said that when you double your attacks, you are effectively ADDING the possible damage. At 1 attack doing 1d6, Strength of 14, that means a Flurry increases damage by 1d6+2 (average 5), at the cost of -2...

1) If you want the full benefits of becoming Celestial, I would definitely impose the Level penalties for it no matter how you became one. I would allow a Wish spell to change your type to that, which would also impose the level penalties. 2) If you JUST want the change of type benefits and...

The burst weapons do well only with a high crit multiplier (x3 or better). Say you got a Heavy Pick 1d6 x4. If you make it Burst then it does: (1d6+ magic + Strength)x4 + 3d10. Compare that to (1d6+ magic + Strength)x4 + 4d6 Which is what you would have gotten if the 1d6 for flaming was...

Lucius you failed to take full advanatge of Charming yourself. Once you charm yourself, you become you own best friend. Everyone knows that before you can get someone else to love you, you must first love yourself. You should have taken advantage of the opportunity and hit the single bars.

The spell blocks all magical impediements and non-solid mundane ones. Grappling is a solid mundane impediement. As such, a Ring of Free Action does not prevent Grappling. However, if someone were to try to cast a spell on you that grapples you, that spell would fail (but a summoned creature...

I always get tired of fools claiming that the FAQ is not errata. Yes, in a perfect World, WOTC would not put out Errata in their FAQ's. But in a perfect World, WoTC would not have any Errata to put out. No matter how much we whine about it, it is the official policy of...

1) When compared to Power Attack -5, Lightning Fists does more damage. I did the math. Try it out on your characters. It does NOT matter what target AC you are going up against. Power Attack almost always increases damage LESS than Lightning Fists does. The effect is more pronounced if you...

Reasons why the rules must change. 1) Somethings do NOT scale up. Examples, allowing fighters to continue to increase the number of attacks can be very problematic, in part because of the fact that a natural 20 always hits. Also, the non-existence of actual 10th level spells is NOT made up...

I agree, a single extra attack is NOT the same as Haste. The power of Haste is in things like extra spell per round, and allowing a Full Round action after a move and other fancy things like that. As such the price of around 30,000 does not seem out of line.

1) A lot of you are not understanding the Contemplative. Contemplative levels MUST be DIVINE in nature, they can never add spells or magic ability to an Arcane Caster. As per the FAQ's clear explanation, The only two classes from Defenders of the faith that add levels to Arcane Caster are...

MeanGenes you are correct completely about what happens when you gain a negative level. Also see my early post stating that officially it takes a Wish spell to change your spells (Simbul).

Actually, They do have rules allowing this. I have to disagree, WOTC has given a clear example of a Sorceror changing her spells. They have very specifically mentioned in the Forgotten Realms book that the Simbul uses the spell Wish to forget a known spell allowing her to replace it with a...

As a guideline I ask myself this questio: "If the wall of force was made of 10' solid adamantine would he be able to do that?" Whatever the answer to hypothetical question, I use the same ruling for the Wall of Force.

Also - I would consider it to be as unbalancing as a weapon so no flurry.

Also, there is an option to load all the Wotc data, which makes things a lot quicker.

Call lightning would definitely NOT count. Adept is what they meant. Look at the description - they talk about Shamans not clerics. But a Cleric could take Geomancer and then take Hexer because as someone previously said, a Geomancer can cast LB as a divine spell.

Actual Medieval Society worked pretty close to what they describe in D&D. The basic idea was that untrained labor could not survive on wage offered. In order to live, they had to accept serfdom. With serfdom, they got a lot of free food (mostly provided at holidays etc.) at the expense of...

I would simply use the rules for Heavy Weapons found in the FrC campaign. They detail how to make a weapon, made out of Platinum, magically hardened to be exactly as strong as steel. Basically, it becomes an exotic weapon Weapon damage gets upgraded as per a chart they show and it has...
