like a charge character who abuses the full attack/charge

Dire charge is an epic feat. How is that an abuse?

Pretty much any of the suggested special abilities would be a good option.

Try reading any of the hundreds of DnD books. Thats DnD setting material.

Should I read Dragonlance or FR? What printing date?

Seeing I want to make fun of people, not really.

Seeing BG is 2e and NWN is 3e I'm not suprised they play differently.

I get influence from every form of media.

1093905299[/unixtime]][br]Right. Its the DnD setting with d20 rules. [br][br]Bull. I know crap all about the D&D setting. There isn't any real info in the core books. All you have is knowledge from other books and guesses based on the mechanics.[br][br]Unless you can use the 3e rules to show me...

Aww nuts.

Is it okay to link to a thread for the purposes of making fun of it? For example a thread where people are claiming dodge is a good feat.

I like the sound of that.

1093316360[/unixtime]]Core Rules spells break the game ... not PrC's, not feats, not equipment. CD and CW didn't break dikk. [br][br]So?[br][br]1. This thread is about min/maxing noncore stuff, not core problems.[br][br]2. Those abuses are old hat so no suprise people are bored talking about them.

Does the MCAT test knowledge or analytical ability?

Well they can multiclass. Or they could just suck in a fight like they're meant to. Intensive martial training, aka ftr 1, damn well better beat no training or serious experience.

So stinking what?

Some of us paid frelling money for Savage Stupidity, thats what.

Lots of the new books either suck (the Complete series) or are heavy on the fluff. Being able to break stuff while useing CD isn't even hard. The only people trying are munchkins, the min/maxers want some form of challenge.[br][br]I think most people here have realised that they can break the game i...

If someone can give a good explanation for why commoners get BAB I'd like to hear it.

What ensues is generally a bunch of lemmings telling you that your hero should be some sort of inept whose only redeemable skill is hitting things.

Oberoni, DM is right.

I agree that it shouldn't be mandatory -- but it would be nice if it were at least optional.

We already have one, its called "don't put ranks in it".

1092775277[/unixtime]]ACtually, I would say it's easier to min-max a fighter, so a casual player can make an uber-fighter easier than an uber-caster.[br][br]This means the average table will have min-maxed fighters, and casual wizards . . . and be OK. [br][br]Yup. Casters pretty much have the hardc...

Which is why I pointed out the option that they deliberately sabotaged it.

(Which I seriously suspect they did, god knows why).

I can provide a quote from Rich stating that if you like.

I'd say that the [not-fighter] is superior to the fighter every day of the week.

1092664519[/unixtime]][br]I mean I vote for ANYONE who's name is on Savage Species as being total idiots (for a start). [br][br]Nope, Rich Redman did a wonderful job of following the design guidance he was given. Unfortunately the guidance was to make SS a crappy, useless book. He did well. The idi...

You can Alter Self into a Xill, provided that you have the Outsider Type - which is itself available with some Core Playable Races (Aasimar and such), and attachable to characters with a number of Core Spell Effects (Polymorph any Object, Shapechange).

Is that a trick question witht he point being that you can't alter self into a Xill?
