The Gaming Den

Hmm. I suppose I should have been clearer. "Mindo" was just my lame attempt at a pun.

Let me put it this way. Kick a psion's ass as fast and hard as possible, using whatever means necessary. [This time I'm talking about combat.]

Cleric 6, obviously. But what else?

1191360256[/unixtime]][br]But still often not worth bothering with, because the Cleric can seriously just compete with anyone on any playing field. While the DMM Persist or Quicken makes an awesome buff-machine warrior replacement, that's not even required for anything.[br][br]The Psion is only hal...

OK... so what spells/feats/tricks make them cheese?[br][br]EDIT: I've been reading about this "Cleric Archer..." but it still doesn't make that much sense to me...[br][br]EDIT STILL: Is there a list somewhere of must-have cleric spells?[br][br]Again, my concern is mostly with lower levels,...

So my friend and I were debating, and he was like, "I'm sorry. Psions are so much better than clerics."[br][br]And I, having hung out here enough, was like, "No way!"[br][br]But I didn't have enough evidence to refute him. Not on the spot, anyway.[br][br]So I came to you.[br][br]...

This is true: I was simply offering a solution to the differing ideas/concepts about shadow.

Again, I stand corrected. So how would it work?

So.... you get *counts on fingers* eight attacks at 20th level?

How about rapidstrike? [And any suggestions on a Tome feat for this?]

Sweet class, man. [br][br]Now I can play a stereotypical CG drow with twin... claws. And six tentacles.[br][br]I think that a permanent Evard's Black Tentacles effect in the area of Shadow Mire wouldn't be at all broken.[br][br][br]Question: How do his weapons interact with the F&K Tome feats Tw...

Hate to be the bearer of bad news - but I went back and looked at Easy Metamagic, and you can't use it to reduce the cost of metamagic below 1 [so you can reduce it from 2 to 1, but not from 1 to 0].

Shame, really.

Where is Easy Metamagic from?

And the answer is.... [br][br]Fractional BAB! Or, just assume that all medium BAB classes progress at the same rate... which gives you a BAB of... 4?5? total....[br][br]Looks like fun.. what else can you do with it aside from stabbing people in the face really hard?[br][br][br]EDIT Frank: Care to ex...

Bump?

Someone over at wizards suggested Scout 5/Ranger 1....

Anyone else have any ideas?

I'm curious to hear from anyone how well E6 has worked for them, and indeed if anyone has ever played it.[br][br]What were your thoughts? What did you like? What worked for you? What didn't?

I can say for me that the reason why I have been asking and talking about psionics is twofold: A] I've always liked the flavor but never put much time into the mechanics, so I thought I'd learn more, because B] my friend wants to play a psywarrior/psion in an upcomin game I'm DM-ing.[br][br]I'm stil...

Anyone want to link or explain or gently guide me to an understanding of what a cleric archer is and why clerics in general are so damn good?

Divine Persistent Metamagic, yes...

Zen Archery for the win?

What more needs be said? Basically any 3.5 books are available.[br][br]I'm looking to prove to someone why psionics are as much or more "broken" than clerics. [Though I have yet to see a cleric archer build and therefore really understand why it's soooo broken, but hey. I believe you guys....

OK. Here's what I don't understand.[br][br]To start with, I have no idea what a Cleric Archer is. Please don't shout at me, or tell me my google-fu is weak, or whatever. That's not my point. My point is, I really don't care.[br][br]Because I'm not an hardcore optimizer/player/beatstick builder/gameb...

Thank you for the replies.[br][br]I have been reading the threads on this board, and the general sense of the board seems to be that DnD is second or third rate but everything else is as bad or worse.[br][br]So I found myself flipping through my books this morning, and without conscious volition beg...

Because we won't let them?
