Bad Idea. There are already a lot of conditions on character building, adding ANOTHER layer of complexity is just another needless hoop. You take a level of Paladin or Monk. Really, so what? You get nifty abilities but does that really "break" something? 3 levels of Rogue is abusive now? Others have...

Correct me if I am wrong, but having a 15 cha won't let you cast a 4th level spell just cuz you have a bonus slot item. That trick only works for divine casters. Classes that have to select spells on level up (Wiz, Sorc and Bard) don't get access, but they can use the slot for metamagiced versions o...

Death by spamming: Caster AI and spell lists

I've seen this happen in both AO and especially TC. MANY guards have access to spells like Grease, Cloud of Bewilderment, Web, Mind Fog, Acid Fog, etc etc etc, or even worse can also summon creatures that can do the same like the Spider type creatures summoned by Circle Guards. Now these can be usef...

Dodge/haste bonuses also work vs touch attacks, but you lose both when flatfooted...even if you have uncanny dodge AFAICT.

I've been a lot of places, killed a lot of stuff, and I also have seen no bastards outside the "metals" line. There was a rumor that someone in NS drops a good one but after a LOT of tries I have only gotten an Imbued Mithril once. I've asked a lot of other high level players and no one seems to hav...

I find it...difficult to believe that you can't tell the difference between masterwork Steel gear and Imbued Mithril or Enhanced Mithril. I usually know a level range for anyone I see before I ever click on them. Mage types are one possible exception as I don't immediately recognize a lot of the rob...

hmm well the job NPC's in NS at least don't seem to drop anything. Didn't notice the XP to be that great either.

Only killed them once tho! Didn't realize what they were the first time.

Yes, this does soak up a lot of feats if you want imp crit, sup wep focus etc but it does allow the wm to have a bit more versatility. I think you can also get away with just 2 if you take something like morningstar which does slash/piercing? and warhammer or mace etc for bludgeoning. I used to thi...

I think they are too weak as is. Compare them to Drow. Same ECL, but Gith take respawn pens on any death and are vulnerable to banishment (a 6th level AOE death spell!) and planar binding. Drow have the same SR and better stats. I also don't view the light sensitivity to be as harsh a penalty as the...

I'd like to see the duration set back to 1 round/level, but institute the 3.5 rule for the hold line, where the target gets a save each round till he either makes it or the spell expires.

Is that scriptable?

Lokey the Hand spells are all in the SRD, they just don't have Bigby in front of them.

ie: Bigby's Interposing hand is just Interposing Hand.

Can't have names in the SRD which is why Mord is called Mage's Disjunction.

The point of Neg Energy Burst is not the damage, it's the strength drain.
