There are also traits in the Player's Companion that increase your effective mastery by 1 for various specific feat trees while giving you some bonuses and one that lets you pick the feat tree but gives no bonuses. In general, multiclassing is pretty good in Iron Heroes since not all the classes hav...

The text that Frank referred to was changed in Iron Heroes Revised to:[br] At 2nd, 6th, 10th, 14th, and 18th levels, you gain a bonus feat that must come from the Projectile feat category. You can spend this selection on any Projectile feat of your choice, provided that you meet its mastery requirem...

Mechanics-hating nut Kiero, who doesn't even play D&D yet constantly makes threads about it, starts this thread asking what people did to customize their characters before feats, leading to a hilarious series of 'my edition is better than your edition'-type arguments.[br][br] There are games out...

Did you seriously expect any sensible discussion at rpg.net? Thanks for helping make that one of the funniest threads I've seen recently, though.

The sole reason I read RPG.net nowadays is to find stupid threads. Speaking of which, Shirak, why bother arguing with the dude in this thread about sneak attack builds ? When somebody says that the rules mandate there only be eleven classes and non-PHB classes are illegal they are either hopelessly ...

It's GBS, what do you expect.

I think it behooves you to do enough research to avoid elementary mistakes like that if you're going to deal with an issue as complex and emotive as sectarian violence, even as some throwaway background point. Try reading the Wikipedia article at least.

Protip: Provo is short for Provisional, as in Provisional IRA.

You've got to be joking with this, Americans can't be this clueless.[br][br]As I recall, there were no rules for buying backgrounds with XP before the Aeonverse line of books; there th...

in any case... my family's clan are supporters of the IRA As an actual Irish person I can only advise against this sort of thing; it makes you look like you learned everything you know about Ireland by watching Lucky Charms commercials.[br][br]Anyway, if you want to do things in the most efficient ...

Not precisely essential, but Cursed Blade (Assassin/Hexblade 4) from Complete Warrior is good for a laugh, since it's not immediately obvious that it's in effect until a healing spell does nothing, which tends to give players a surprise.

Small correction, Frank: You can't be a N cleric of Pelor because Pelor isn't N. Not that it changes your point.

Magical Training is the feat you're thinking of.

If you're talking to me, Count Arioch, I'm on your side (and a little puzzled by your comment). I was referring to the reaction on the Wizards boards. Thanks for making my work days more fun, Frank and K.

All this internet drama is hilarious; it reminds me of why I stopped reading the Wizards boards in the first place.

I take my hat off to you, Frank and K. That thread on the Wizards board gave me a great laugh.

Your ideas remind me of Talislanta's system, Frank. Are you using that as inspiration?

Improved Buckler Defence from Complete Warrior would also seem to allow you to use a buckler with a two-handed weapon, at the cost of -1 to hit.

Thanks for your analysis, Frank. One point: the Lion barbarian doesn't get the standard fast movement, so it seems relatively poor to choose the Lion totem if you're going for a one-level dip.
