Comments and questions on 3.5 from a Newbie

But that's probably too much information for Edena, since she hasn't got through clerics yet! ;)

IIRC from old threads, Edena's actually a guy (though I'll let him / her confirm or deny it as he / she wishes). :) Don't feel bad, the name threw me, too...

I seem to recall that the poster is male, but Edena, his 160th or so level character his name is based on, has been of both sexes during his enormously long career.
 






Pardons, Kenobi65. You might want to change your post above, since I deleted all my relevant posts relating to it. It seems Olivia is a neat character, and also a powerful character! Just my impression.

Back on topic, I would comment that it increasingly seems to me like you were in a straightjacket back in 2E, compared to 3rd Edition or 3.5.

Thanks for the thanks, guys. Yeah, my enthusiasm and astonishment must have been showing pretty strongly.
I remember when 3.0 first came out, and all these posts were flying on ENWorld, most in stark astonishment, amazement, dismay, and delight.

Kenobi65, what Feats did Olivia take? And what do they do?

On the Druid:

What weapon is Vadania wielding?
I see that Druids and Metal Armor mix like oil and water ...
Druids use the Average Base Attack bonus chart, but have fewer weapons than the cleric ...

A Druid worships primordial nature. Does this mean a Druid can't worship a Deity?

Druids can dump their magic spells (ala clerics) but only to cast Summoning spells?

I can see huge roleplaying opportunities in the Animal Companion. Certainly, I've seen this depicted in many films and books. But isn't this likely to end tragically with the animal killed? What chance does an animal have in the gritty, rough and tumble mess of adventuring?
Can anyone share their experiences on this?
How does Multiattack work?

Venom immunity is a strengthening of the Druid class. They dropped it from 16th level to 9th level.
Timeless Body is a weakening of the class. The old Hierophant gained physical youth, and life extension.
 

Concerning the Fighter:

I notice the Composite Bow is now the bow you need for a Strength Bow.
I'm guessing Composite Bows are pretty popular nowadays. :)

The bastard sword of Movie legend is now an exotic weapon. Even the fighter must use a Feat to use the bastard sword one-handed.

What is it about the Spiked Chain that makes it so popular?
For years I've been hearing about spiked chains.

The Fighter is a Feat Class. That's pretty obvious. If you like Feats, be a Fighter. In a gestalt campaign, take Fighter for all those Feats. Let's see, 1 at 1st level, 1 at 2nd level, 1 at 4th level, 1 at 6th, etc., plus 1 starting, plus 1 if you're a human, plus 1 at 3rd, 1 at 6th, 1 at 9th, etc.
One thing I'm not seeing is that any of the other classes can take nearly this many Feats.
