Big whoop.[br][br]The EK and the AT (Rogue1/wiz5/GT1) both are 2 levels (or more) behind the straight wizard/sorceror. The Theurge is 3 levels behind unless you fiddle around with Nar Demonbinder hijinx.[br][br]Saying the EK is far away from the AT is ignoring the facts. Also, the EK has no class ab...

Thanks Frank (and Guest)![br][br][br] If you take one of the feats that gives you 3 skills as class skills at first level you can be a Wizard with Search, Disable Device, and Move Silently. [br] I know of the Cosmopolitan feat. That's 1 added skill to your class skills. I think Rokugan has the Versa...

There's a prestige class in the minis book, The Skullclan Hunter, that gives you the ability to damage undead with your sneak attacks at 2nd level. It'll cost you 8 skill points and a level in cleric or soldier of light or something to get turn undead, though.

The DM announces to his party of 4 players that the upcoming campaign will involve a well-balanced amount of encounter types (parley, traps/puzzles, urban encounters, environmental survival, tracking/hunting), but still a primary emphasis on combat and traps/puzzles.[br][br]The DM then states that w...

Can't. It's a 3.5 spell (minis book right?) and in 3.5 you can only partial charge when you're slowed or otherwise only allowed 1 action/round. Maybe if you had <Item> of Slow that you could turn on/off as a free action...

"But short of stuff like that, no Wizard, whether they have 7 whole dice of sneak attack or not, can match a Rogue's damage output."[br][br]What about an Empowered Disintegrate coupled with an Empowered Quickened Scorching Ray? Like that one poster stated, you could also have up and runnin...

I have also seen some players choose their feats as they go without any respect to build.[br][br]For these players, this option does limit "versitility" because it forces them to choose features of their build up front, and as such actually have a decent shot of (more or less accidentally)...

Suppose I'm a rogue with the Expert Tactician feat from Sword and Fist and the Quicker Than the Eye feat from Song and Silence . If I'm in melee with an opponent and use a move-equivalent action to Bluff my foe and get him to look away, can I do the extra attack from the Expert Tactician feat? If I...

I am aware of the problem and have contacted the bbboy support forums. I'll get the boards back up as soon as I can. Or rather, they will.

Game On,

Is there a prestige class that lets you use Mounted Combat more than once in a round? I could swear that I read one somewhere, but I can't think of it now.[br][br]What happens if two Devoted Defenders both use Harm's Way to take a hits for each other? Since there is no limit on how many times you ca...

Ah, but there are more custome zombies being made these days with the 3.5 templates and all. I would not just assume that the average zombie you run into these days is your book version 3.0 zombie. Beware the 50' Movement zombie!

Oh dear ... poor Frank. [br][br]Frank, go look at the Miniature's Handbook regarding the Orb spells I am talking about. You are using the outdated version in Tome & Blood. Hence, all your unpleasant ranting & insults were for naught. [br][br]And Frank, go look at the text for Hail of Stones ...

Yeah, you're right. I just came up with the idea and was anxious to share heh.

It does at least have the potential to screw up the game by throwing off the party's power balance and pissing everybody off. You can't really compete with it too well.

If he takes Fleet of Foot instead of Dash he could then turn during your spirited charges. Might be more useful.

Vow of Poverty[br][br]Become 18th level. Liquify all assets and spend them on tomes and permanent spells from npcs like greater magic fang. Have an epiphany and become an ascetic. Take Vow of Poverty as your 18th level feat. You now have, effectively, the wealth of an 18th level character and all of...

CR should be 4.

Here's some cheese I thought of since learning that your mount uses the charge action instead of you.[br][br]Get two gloves of storing and a ring of blinking. Take Expert Tactician. Charge towards target, use your full-round action to make a full ranged attack with your ranged weapon. Store it and r...

Another problem: The phb specifically prohibits you from sharing spell-like abilities. A blink dog's blink and dimension door abilities are supernatural, so by what logic could you share them?

I don't see anything in the rules that say you have to call for a generic creature. If you can choose between calling a heavy warhorse and a warpony, why can't you choose to call for "a chaotic neutral blink dog" and hope that one shows up?

A blink dog's alignment is listed as "Usually lawful good," not always. So can't you just find a chaotic neutral one?

You're absolutely right about the charge action. I never noticed that it's actually the mount that uses action and not you. You apparently do have a move action left over.[br][br]I still don't see how you can claim triple damage while attacking after dismounting. The ability's description even says ...

You can't hop back on your blink dog as a free action unless you have a move action left in the round. Charge is a full-round action.[br][br]Also, even if you liberally interpret Leap from the Saddle to say that you actually gain a free attack and that it acts exactly like a charge in ALL respects, ...

There's only a certain amount you can fall behind on the caster curve and still be capable. If you are 10 levels behind, you can't penetrate the SR of creatures your level and your spellcasting doesn't mean anything.] Well then, Frank, perhaps you need to acknowledge that AT's can cast spells that ...

Can you even smite during a charge? Smite says "with one normal melee attack." If charge is a normal melee attack, then what the hell is an abnormal melee attack?

What did you "back up", Lago? [br][br]Nothing. That's what you backed up. Feel free to address the points I made in my last post. And keep in mind, I fully support the premise that the AT needs a lot of help at low-to-mid levels. Unless played by someone who really understands the esoteric...
