D&D 3E/3.5 Fixing 3.5 full casters

[RUMBLETiGER]

Reserve Feats help (A little).

Scrolls help even more.

As does carrying a crossbow in a bag of holding.

A Wizard who has used up all his spells for the day... better have some really awesome story to account for it.

Ah, and here I was thinking that he was lamenting the lost days of 1e, when Fighters could stock up on wands and double as spell casters.

 

[Dandu]

You can still do that if you cross class ranks in UMD.

 

[James the Newbie]

Hmmm, while on one hand I agree, on the other, it raises my second biggest concern after full casters being under powered. The samurai class is already over powered, so while you are at it, you should suggest a patch to tone them down.

 

[Dandu]

Perhaps if we removed their bonus feats...

 

[Sekhmet]

I thought we were supposed to report blatant trolling/asshattery.

 

[Greenfield]

Ah, but this is such blatant trolling that it's a parody of itself, and humor is allowed.

Which brings concerns about other overpowered classes, like Monk and Bard. How do we tone them down, without having to re-conceive and redesign them from scratch?

Perhaps make them Sociology majors?

 

[Nezkrul]

first thing we do is we make them more reliant on Strength so they can do the heavy lifting for the party

 

[RUMBLETiGER]

.... I just now got the sarcasm of the entire thread.

Sigh, I'm slow.

The latter few pages of this thread contain a discussion about the utility of fighters vis-a-vis wizards. One of the arguements presented by those who viewed fighters as having utility was that they had greater staying power than a wizard does (i.e. once a wizard is out of spells their contribution becomes little more than poorly shooting crossbow bolts at the enemy). The OP is attempting to rectify this 'problem' by suggesting a fix to wizards so that they may continue to meaningfully contribute in encounters, after they have used up all their spells.

Edit: It is an attempt to satirize the position of those who view the fighters as having utility.

Sadly I have XP'd you too recently
