HAHAHAHAHA!

Okay everyone, it's time to heal up. Yay! I love playing patty-cake! ;)

Well I've just been reading this thread straight through and as far as I can tell this thing sort of started out as "look, here's what some people think about what they've seen and experienced with 4th edition. They happen to be game developers, some of whom have worked on Dungeons and Dragons...

Rules Compendium clarifies this argument and rules that the trigger time is the same as the casting time. P.85 "Activating a spell trigger item takes the same amount of time as the casting time of the spell that the item stores, but activating the item doesn’t provoke attacks of opportunity."

This thread is a trap because unless that Druid is 5th level, there aren't any Druids without Natural Spell. ;)

This thread caused me to dust off my old 2nd Edition PHB. It reminded me how my group used weapon and non-weapon proficiencies for the mechanical stuff and Secondary Skills for the character background skills. Sure it meant most everyone's parents were smiths, fletchers, hunters and the like...

Looks about right to me. I say: 1.) Exactly, and both companies will be destroying thousands more in the not too distant future (as has been discussed in the thread.) I personally don't see a problem with it (although evidently some do, which is their right.) 2.) Yes, and I think it's a very...

Also note that the Favored Soul has split spellcasting stats. Charisma for spells per day and max level, and Wisdom for DC. For a buffing/healing FS this isn't a problem, but if you want to cast offensive spells, you will have to plan your stats accordingly.

This is a more specific case than your general DMM Cleric, but when you throw Anspell, and its greater brother into the mix via Spell Domain (Spell Compendium) and/or the Initiate of Mystra feat from Player's Guide to Faerun, you can get some pretty dangerous combos. Anyspell gets you...

Staggering Strike can also be useful if you're a tripper or can get someone to trip/flank for you. For the majority of opponents, it's a move action to stand, and if they only have a move action while staggered...

Craven is only -2 to fear.

Invisible Blade has to be one of the most abused classes ever. WoTC completely changed the class from the way the original designer intended (which was a mix of both range and melee focused on feinting and sneak attacks) but left the original pre-reqs (which no longer made sense since they took...

He can take ranks, but they'll be cross-classed and thus cost more as well as have a lower cap. The 13th Wizard (barring multi-classing or taking the Skill Knowledge feat from Unearthed Arcana) would have a max rank of 8 + Cha in UMD at the cost of 16 skill points. Of course, the Wizard...

Righteous Might and Enlarge Person will probably never fly to create Huge since they both contain clauses about size changes. Depending upon DM rulings on Polymorph (whether it is a size increase or a size change that sets your normal size to that of whatever is normal for the creature you...

Minor clarification, it's only a +1 level adjustment.

Especially since Wraithstrike is a Sorc spell and all dragons eventually get spellcasting. 2 spells and a whole lot of people are toast.

Polymorph spells + Arcane Strike make a good combo since it specifically states "natural weapons." Even if you're a Dragon with Claws, bites, tail sweeps, and wing buffets, they're all getting your Arcane Strike damage from just one spell slot.

Ordained Champions from Complete Champion would LOVE like this feat! Trade in two Domain powers you weren't really using to get 2 fighter feats, and since the class is full BaB you can pick it up twice. Prestige Paladins (Unearthed Arcana,) Fists of Raziel (Book of Exalted Deeds,) and Knights...

Here's another idea for an Ur-Priest. Savage Bard 1 / Sorcerer 4 / Ur-Priest 2 / Mystic Theurge 3 / Sublime Chord 2 / Mystic Theurge 8 / Incantatrix 2 (Player's Guide to Faerun, or any PrC that advances Arcane Caster progression and has class features.) You'll need to be a Human with a pretty...

If you have Unearthed Arcana or can use info from the online SRD you could use the Savage Bard. It has full Bardic caster progression and good Fort and Will saves as well as Bluff as a class skill. This can be nice in a Sublime Chord / Mystic Theurge build to get both 9th level Arcane and...
