[QUOTE="Alaxk Knight of Galt, post: 5130377, member: 4129"] Wow, bashed on by the entire community for not liking Bo9S for 3E. I've never felt so popular :cool: I've stated my three reason for not allowing it [LIST] [*]Bo9S flavor is out of place in 3.5. In my mind, its a clear beta for 4E with it's unique encounter style mechanics [*]The power level of the three base classes are absurd when compared against Fighter, Paladin, Monk, Rogue and other core melee classes [*]1/2 Level is the Initiator Level for dipping into is out of line with the rest of the spell/psionic caster level style [/LIST] As for the other books that Jhaelen mentioned, I can't comment on them. We did not use them extensively during our 3.5 playing days save for PHB2. I've got no problem with Dragon Shaman or Beguiler. I've not seen enough of Duskblade and the other class to form an opinion about them (I think it's Knight, but I could be wrong). I've never cracked open a copy of Dungeonscape, MM4 or MM5 and I've only browsed CM and CS. Do I like Bo9S. Yes, I think it was incredibly innovative when it was released. My affection for it faded after 4E was released and my desire to run a more classical style of DnD game developed. I experimented with running 2E again, but I found I enjoyed the diversity of builds that the 3E multiclass and feat system allowed both as a player and DM. If I was to allow Bo9S, I'd rather play 4E then 3.5 (and yes, I know that Bo9S is a 3.5 book not a 4E book). The power system that grew from Bo9S is one of the corner stones of 4E. The 4E combat system is pretty fun and I enjoy it for a certain styles of gaming and storytelling. And no, I don't think it's bad-wrong-fun to allow Bo9S in 3.5, it's just not my preference for what I want out of 3.5 or Pathfinder. [/QUOTE]
