Ouch! Power creep strikes again!

 

[Blackrat]

Oy, now I have a desire to make a ranger with favored enemy; airborn tramp .

 

[Plane Sailing]

Heh. I must have looked at that about 15 seconds before the new strip went up!

re the story - it illustrates one of the problems IMO of rampant new-spell-itis outside the core books... they can dramatically remove the balance between two classes, as per the example with Haley here!

 

[Nifft]

Favored Enemy: Sky Skank.

Cheers, -- N

Oooh! Haley broke through the fourth wall!

Well, as demonstrated by Haley effortlessly turning her opponent into a goth-porcupine while remaining unscathed, there wasn't really any balance between their two classes until her opponent pulled out a non-core spell.

Not quite true, a wizard/cleric has plenty of will or fortitude save spells to choose from. For example the previously used dominate person spell would have had a good chance of succeeding. Or a good old scorching ray spell.

You don't even need need new spells. I have a character based around reach feat. Any touch spell turns into a 30ft range spell. favored weapon (ray), High dex for AC is also used for attack. Its a great build. Screw Spectral Hand. Try Ray of Vampiric Touch

And If Tsukiko bothered to cast Blur, she'd been sneak attack immune just from having concealment.

was her arcane class sorc or wiz?

just trying to determine if she has the int to figure that out. although, her wis should be high enough.
