Bernstein, for starters, seems not to know what's an effective binder level. Also, the part where quickened empowered maximized magic missile's an epic ability's ridiculous. And yeah, there's Bible in there, and the whole "ambiguity of alignment" went to waste - check the bronze vestige. I...

That it's too good? SOMEBODY, PLEASE SHOW HIM THE WIZARD!!! I know, and that'd cost me my sleep, if I felt any. :) To be fair: while that's true, every new class made's a chance to change this. And this comes from a guy who is, as far as he can, rewriting all classes (7 fully done by now -...

I'm just gonna say Cleave (without the improved version) is flat-out inferior to Rapid Shot, and that Great Cleave will only be a justified expenditure of 2 feats in a very narrow adventure style (namely, the PCs are attacked by wimps all the time). IMO, to be fair. Not really - I want ideas for...

And I wouldn't ever take Cleave voluntarily, as I wouldn't take reserve feats; hence saying they need incentive to be viable class features (not even necessarily at low levels - I refer just to after 10). They sure aren't for defeating high-levelers, but I don't see why they couldn't help with...

And color spray. And sleep. Presumably, either followed by coup de graces.

Yep, Nifft has it: direct spell damage doesn't need a fix between 5th and 10th. It does at higher than that, and, ironically, might before the 5th, where it starts strictly worse than a crossbow and just isn't in the same power bracket as the non-damaging incapacitations; then again, it makes...

Totally playable - I just want any class to be something that doesn't require Nifft not to suck. If he likes reserve feats, I want him not just to do stuff, I want him to be able to do stuff that matters, with the widest possible freedom of choice. And worse, while I can't order you to make the...

Nifft, I can understand that that's sorta good when nobody's optimizing. Point (in part) taken (but it does need wraithstrike to be actually good). :) Elemmakil: the point of reserve feats' being at-will, and I see no way a 11th-level mage'd use one with their standard action. BTW, "reserve...

Well, most of it isn't really so divergent from my thoughts, but the part where I really do disagree is "reserve feats as direct damage". I was talking specifically after the 10th, and we both know hp doesn't scale linearly, which makes pure direct damage increasingly worthless even when it does...

That might well be more interesting than disciplines, so that I might want you far from blade magic. :) So, can I see that (haven't found it, if it was posted at all; pardon me if that's meant for sale)?

That'd be it. And, while I agree the battle sorcerer's on the weak side of balanced, I actually consider the sorcerer better, because it's better BAB doesn't really interact with the rest of the class, without the help of something like quick cast, while the sorcerer just gets more of its main...

Yes, you, demonic Linux apostle! :) I'm not even sure whether I'll port, especially now that I'm midway rewriting and rebalancing 3.5 classes. Yes, there's still interest, and there's some others still messing around with blade magic. But well, it's yours. P.S.: one of my intentions, shared...

Long time, Nifft! Direct questions: do you think the battle sorcerer's just fine as-is, and whaddya say about my suggestions on this class (which'd essentially be the battle sorcerer as I think it should've been, in the end)?

Airwalkrr: coming from the guy who considers the MH marshal too strong, I can only say you're wrong, by reasons explained above and below. On a marshal that doesn't suck, BTW, look here. Yes. Even if this was wholly true, it'd say nothing about most levels, and said spells always make the...

For ensuring it isn't good? Seriously, it just does what the wizard does, without actually good feats, and spending extra cash on scrolls.

You dropped this, Josh?

Will I need to post in every friggin' D&D forum I'm a member of that this class isn't even good enough? Look, it doesn't have the slightest casting versatility, its class features are nonexistant, and medium BAB doesn't synergize with anything this class has: it's good for sneak attack, it's...

I'll read this thread when I get home and see whether I have things of my own to add, but for now, I'd leave this thread with a summoner base class, since it might contain useful insight for your class.

So nicely asked, how could I not "hurry"? Anyway, the important stuff is: first, you didn't update the text above the maneuver summaries - there's still "(Sky)" there (BTW, the change itself is great if I understood it correctly, and it means strike-granted attacks have a maximum range of twice...

Long time no see! Also, do I need to say things, as usual, are great? OK, normally, people forsake a standard action to have another one ready. How does THIS work - is it supposed to forsake a whole round, or do you actually double your standard actions (which I favor should be obvious now ...)...
