The problem with Elysian Thrush is it never goes away

If you can double your natural healing does that double the amount of ability burn you heal, as well as your ability damage? Specifically, I have a Elan Psion with the feats Body Fuel (recover 2 power points by taking 1 ability burn) and Mind Over Body (heal ability damage and burn = 1 + Con mod). M...

Yeh, it's cuz i do stuff like that he's so strict. hahaha ;p

@Rathe - Thanks for the suggestion, but i don't think my DM will go for it. btw MM rods kick ass fer sure, +1. @Spasheridan - 1) monk/druids have been nerfed in PF (natural attacks not included in flurry) 2) i'm doing the same as druid with a monk's belt, except using Cha. 3) Polx been nerfed 4) Agr...

1) mage armor and gtr mage armor can still be used, and stack with monk bns.

2) God mage as in battlefield controller/strategist.

3) I want to be able to affect many foes at once while having the versatility of teleport, walls, etc.

4) What warrior nerfs?

Sorry, read the post wrong.

You're cool.

So... can someone tell me why it's so bad to take 1 lvl of monk for +AC?
If so, what's better (apart from a GOD mage-i'm so sick of that schtick)?

min/max, mostly. trying to get a survivable arcanist that's something different to what i usually play. figured high AC can't hurt for 1 lvl trade-off. haven't really seen too many alternatives (except for cleric and druid, which i can't play) unless they're a gish, and that's too much of a CL cost.

To be honest, i've never played a spontaneous caster before, just thought i'd give it a try, are they that bad? And like i've said, the party really does need an arcanist.

My Cha bns is +7, plus 1 for being monk lvl 6 effectively for AC. That's 8.

Where do you get the Caster Level of 8 to make a +4 Charisma item? For that matter, where do you get the 32k it normally costs to buy such an item (that you normally only get at 8th level anyway)? -Username17 k, good call. Missed that one, i'll have to wait a couple of lvls with +2 instead, but it'...

I don't necessarily, just tired of playing straight wizards. And we need a wizard i think.

I'm starting at 6th, Monk 1/ Sorcerer 5 - that's 2nd lvl spells no worries. My Cha bns is +7, plus 1 for being monk lvl 6 effectively for AC. That's 8. I know i'm giving up a CL, that's why i'm not completely sold on it. And GMArmor is +6, doesn't count against touch attacks, and runs out after 6 hrs.

Hey, just writing a new character, thinking about taking Monk 1/Sorcerer X build. Gonna take Ascetic Mage feat. Any ideas for optimization? Playing Pathfinder RPG. Allowed books are PathFinder Core plus 3.5 Completes, ToB, XPH. Party includes rogue, cleric/crusader, fighter. 6th lvl party. Stats: St...

You can use any of the Completes, but not the PHB2? Uh... sure. Pathfinder makes it very difficult to be a Rogue. Most of the standard ways to get Sneak Attacks at mid and high levels are jerked around. You can't get Sneak Attack from blink , grease , and in most cases invisibility . Flasks and sim...

can you elaborate how having no TWF penalties and increased initiator lvl for 2 level dip is ass? 1) IL does absolutely fucking nothing for your character, and it's only +1 (+2 over 2 levels instead of +1 over 2 levels) 2) Medium bab dip + negate TWF penalties = Fighter 2 taking weapon focus. That'...

I was hoping you'd throw in Frank, love your work btw. yeh, you're right, Neraph's rock! unfortunately i wrote this guy up on the fly after my last character got owned. saw neraph too late dammit. prob. next character if i die again, not that i'm a pessimist :) unfortunately, no PHBII. otherwise my ...

You can only get 1 bns feat with talents, that is you can only get each talent once, and that talent is Combat Feat. the Wis is for Swordsage bns to AC and Will saves (which is how i died last character - damn stupid bard with sleep spell and three friends doing coup de grace on me getting beauty sl...

can you elaborate how having no TWF penalties and increased initiator lvl for 2 level dip is ass? you might be right about uncanny trickster, but it's basically losing one level for funky tricks :mrgreen: , but you're prob. right there, i can just pay skill pts. i was gonna go swashbuckler/ invis. b...

Hey all, just needing any advice on a rogue melee build I'm making for 3.5/Pathfinder. Apologies if there's another thread that this should be on, I'm pretty new to this forum. So far I'm a githzerai barbarian 1/ rogue 1, intending to buyout my LA (which is +1 for pathfinder) next lvl. I took barb 1...
