Re: Paul/Frank Sorcerer Update?

Why the fck would it be fighter/mage? Fighter/mages suck.

I'm talkin full-caster with Hit Die as good as a Bard.
Semi-Gish, like Wilder or Warlock. Half-Gish, w/e.

They seriously need it, given that Wizards have an infinitely expandable spell list and bonus feats.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't Elder or older vamps use less blood when activating Celerity?

Re: World of Darkness Composites

Celerity = your "return to base for backup" trump card when caught, which almost never happens to at least decent Mekhets. It's not just for combat, it also adds movement.

Re: A rage-mage that sucks less: Berzerker-Magus

I'd personally prefer a few feats, like 3-4, in a feat tree that enhances the abilities of casting while raging. IMHO it really doesn't warrant a whole PrC, since advancing the Barbarian seems much more worthwhile (unless you add all or most of mid-to-high level Barb abilities to your PrC along with...

Re: The Level Progression System Using Pie

Well, multiclassing seems to go against your theory. Seems a character resembling anything like a Fighter/Mage actually loses power in comparison to other single-classed of their same level.

Re: Tenser's Transformation - Not So Useless Now

The basic stat-buffs like Bull's Strength and the 5 others should scale better instead, like +1 to the appropriate stat per caster level. Would solve most problems there.

LA is of a 'feel-good' design. It is extremely relative to the judger of a monster's ability and unfortunately little to do with the actual CR. I hate it.
