The Gaming Den

I would love to hear any feedback for this class. Since the Frank/K ninja class is a little ways off, and i'm joining a 1st level campaign in the near future, I figure i'd build the ninja I always envisioned. A combat oriented, minor magic user, sorta rogue, mostly spy.[br][br]I won't deny that it's...

Sounds good to me. Some actual class features besides "qualify for better classes" would be a move in the right direction regardless of where it comes from.[br][br]I see BaB as general competency in combat. If a world class fighter is in front of some mook who he laps 3 times over in the +...

Better feats for the first question. Dropping a feat for +1 damage is nonsense. Fighter specific kick ass feats would be cool.[br][br]For the second question, BaB should work like warhammer, where it scales depending on how much you own them at the current time. All the classes should gain functions...

Well, it is good to see we finally have stats for Elf, Drow.

Sore wa taihen!

I have to agree with Catharz, also:
"so let's try to "branch out" a bit"

My eyes, make them stop burning!

K - I checked the build a while ago and noticed one thing, it doesn't look like Fire Heritage adds +1 to caster level to fire descriptor spells. Am I missing something? [br][br]Edit - It looks like elemental spellcasting was the feat you meant to suggest :thumb: [br][br]Edit Edit - Chain spell, it a...

One was Garet Jax, and i'm not sure about the others. I assume other fantasy characters from literature. I was wondering myself, frank and K. Mind explaining the others?

I respectfully withdraw my question then.

Aww inspiring! [br][br]-Edit - however, is there a reason why the assassin will save is poor? I don't see that as a particular weakness of the character, since they are supposedly trained/disciplined killers.[br][br]I would think Fort was the dump save, but then again you may just be doing it for ch...

Digging for any spell ever printed, in the current edition is a pretty boss ability. [br][br]Can "anyspell" be cast any number of times up to your caster limit? THe easiest balance I can see would be to say you can only anyspell once for each level. Gives you some versatility, but doesn't ...

Let me preface this by saying i'm a veteran of strategy games of about 18+ years now. So pardon my emphasis on mechanics ripped from them :P[br][br]Also note, I think you need to place the emphasis on class functions that CANNOT be decreased or made less effective in the face of other things. Two sw...

I agree with your points entirely frank.[br][br]The problem isn't so much with the fact that fighters have always been every other class' beotch, but that every other class does their job better than they ever could without GM intervention. [br][br]Clerics and wizards *shouldn't* be able to snap the...

I'm not sure if my conscience will allow me to use this spell now that i've read it.[br][br]So what do you think about Arcane thesis, frank and everyone? I read it as -1 with no minimum limit to meta magic costs, and it applies to any metamagic added.[br][br]I seriously doubt that was the intent tho...

1150741000[/unixtime]] My first level spells were going to be ray of enfeeblement [br][br]Ugh. Why? That spell is total ass. It can't drop any opponent or set up an opponent to be dropped by another effect. It just reduces their melee damage output, but not even enough to turn the tide of battle.[b...

Oh anything is game. My first level spells were going to be ray of enfeeblement and grease. I just zero'd in on scorching ray because it seems to be the most efficient based on level and damage.

Sounds good. So I generally want to stagger my metamagic feats in order of lowest level affecting to highest, such as searing light, empower, split ray, twin spell, quicken spell?[br][br]1) Point Blank Shot[br]1 H) Precise Shot[br]3) Empower Spell [br]6) Arcane Thesis : Scorching Ray [br]9) Searing ...

I know that arcane casters have better things to be doing with their unlimited potential than throwing rays around, but I figured it'd be an amusing concept for my next campaign.[br][br]What would you gentlemen suggest in regards to this character model?[br][br]I'm planning to be a human sorcerer, w...

I see. Is there a paladin/arcane prestige class somewhere, or does this kind of character go into eldritch knight?

I'm just curious here guys.[br][br]How does one get a familiar mount? As a sorcerer, don't you need to pick from the list of suitable options? Doesn't the paladin mount come in a few levels later?[br][br]Where does this overlap?[br][br]And if your GM has issues with the fact you can combine one Stat...

Book - "Yes, certain magic item combos can help deal with Dispel Magic contingencies - but many play situations won't allow the Gish to be in possession of them."[br][br]Is a ring of counterspell : dispel magic that hard to come by, even earlier in your career? 4000 gp plus the scroll, if ...

May I ask what the general idea of the next tome is?

Edit - Also, if it isn't too much trouble, is there a word file of the above posts available? I would like to print them out with proper formatting to read over while i'm away from the pc.

So frank, is there some history between you and wizards I don't know about?

I don't really understand how taking credit for something is a violation of their board rules.

Okay, I don't read WotC, so what's a "Gish"?

Retarded name adapted to "fighter/mage" due to the fact githyanki fighterwizards call themself that, I believe?

More netspeak shorthand.

K, that's good stuff. That's generally how I have approached my character, but you do introduce me to a few things I hadn't considered (greater magical weapon, spell storing weapon)[br][br]I probably did one thing wrong though, with one of my fighter bonus feats I had chosen monkey grip - assuming l...

I was talking about why people come up with elaborate multiclassed hybrids rather than playing straight wizards. Why people do the former instead of playing clerics is a mystifying question, and I can only assume it either has something to do with the continuing misperception of clerics as walking ...
