Much more reasonable .

Wow. Add Brambles (+6 dmg) or Spikes (double Threat range, +2 damage) to my list of buffs to Quicken. Problem with Spikes, however, is that it has a 1 round/level duration. For the record, you look WAY BELOW your Wealth by level: http://www.msen.com/~muffin/ADD/Chars/wealthbylevel.html suggests 6600...

Pull the standard bullshit. Straight Cleric. Large Shield, Magic Vestement Full Plate Armor of <nobody cares>, Magic Vestement +1 Weapon of <every energy type>, Greater Magic Weapon Lesser Metamagic Rod of Quickening (bullshit buff yourself every round, Bless, Prayer, Bull Strength, Enlarge Person, ...

Being a blender at level 6 is perfectly fine. This is the level where fighters can TWF with iterative BAB. Scoring 5 attacks at level 4 is a bit crazy. The only sure-fire way I can think of, non Tome, off the top of my head to do this is: TWF+Rapid Shot+Bite attack+Boot Blade. I would give him the a...

Extra Arms has a level 6 prereq, if I recall correctly. Also, if I recall correctly, this is for a damned good reason (the same level a fighter will be getting iterative attacks). You get (natural attacks) OR (weapon attacks AND (slam attack OR secondary natural)). Not both. Currently, this is 4 cla...

An Empowered Lesser Ord of Acid does (6d8) 27 damage on average at level 7, and allows to save or spell resistance. A level 3 fighter with 16 con has 10(first die)+9(con)+2d10 hp = average 30. 18 con puts that number at 33. The fighter has between 21 and 39 hp, and you will do between 6 and 48 damag...

Out favorite card that we got when we graduated last Spring was: <outside> No More Pencils, No More books... (picture of animated people throwing hats into the air) <inside> No more money, get a job! (picture of depressed looking person in business suit) We both had jobs lined up in our respective f...

Pshaw, they take 10, right?

At level 5ish, I put a Mind Flayer in a recent campaign as a dragon's minion. Yes, they were overmatched, but they also had a "Sword of Dragonslaying" (if it hits, at +5, it kills, no questions). The closest thing this campaign has to a Fighter was a Vampire/Shadow Warrior. Our 'Fighter', ...

http://www.geocities.com/televisioncity/2633/dontlike.wav Reasons: Variable action amounts per round. This means that you aren't sure if you'll be able to make it over and heal the fighter next round. Bad rolls. Wizard can't cast a spell this round because 'spell' is 3 action points. This doesn't ap...

Just like to say: False Life is a level 2 spell. It lasts 1 hour/level. The loss of a level 2 spell slot when you can cast level 5 spells is pretty insignificant (yes, levitate is useful, but you can't use any spell with a saving throw that isn't quickened from this category in a real combat). HP of...

Cleric is a pretty good bridge as well, being a divine fighter for a good number of levels. re-posted: http://rapidshare.com/files/227342785/Beguiler_Spell_Reference_v1.5.pdf.html The link contains every Beguiler spell, re-printed, and organized. Although about 90% of these are core, the reprinting ...

Did you tell him that having 2 different spheres at level 5 will net you a whopping 6 different spells? Or, approximately the same number of different spells as a sorcerer 2 levels below you. Also, that you can actually cast less spells in a day than a wizard or sorcerer or equal level.

I have found that some groups like Tome as a fix, and other groups have an opinion of something like that for every printed class. Also, there are usually some completely unfound attacks against things, like: "Fireball at level one from a sphere?! That's more powerful than every 1st level spell...

Out of curiosity, who here can tell me why Nystul's Magic Aura isn't similarly broken as Fabricate and Wall of Iron? It makes DMs hate you. Somehow at level 9 when you are selling perfectly normal iron to people, it is usually fine. The DM will have the iron market plummet (it should), and people w...

Combat School is banned, but Blitz-PBS is okay? So.. +2 to attack and damage for one weapon is broken, but +3 to attack +BAB+BAB to damage for all ranged weapons is fine. Ah, sorry, I didn't know that it was a fire-immune rat ogre ... Really? With 200+ hp. Really? I daresay that this monster was mad...

You can hose yourself as a sorcerer pretty easily: "Magic Aura looks like a fun spell" Necromantic Cleric is a bad idea unless he is very familiar with melee. there are many things to keep track of (3 pools of undead, for starters). Honestly, the best experience that we had starting off a ...

2d6 Light damage from the Cleric? Come on. Light of Mercuria, much? 4d6 as a ranged touch for a level 2 spell. At the very least, your cleric should be doing double his damage here. If you are only going to do piffly damge, you might as well be throwing down a Sound Burst and forcing a Save vs Stun ...

In Florida we have a law that ou have to make a degree finishable within 4 years (UCF is not supposed to stand for U Can't Finish). Because of this, when the state recently had a look at the Aerospace Engineering 4 year plan (which involved 3 summers, assuming you passed everything all the time, and...

Beguiler, hands down. Give him this: http://rapidshare.com/files/226500796/Beguiler_Spell_Reference_v1.5.pdf.html I can't claim credit for making it, but it is the most useful document ever for Beguilers. The Beguiler is a good mix between blaster and planned caster, actually. They have the big win ...

Having a bitch of a time finding something with over 200 hp below CR 16.

You are level 5?

Seriously, congratulations.

Sorry, I have a pretty terrible time paying my own bills on time, honestly. I have delegated out this life functionality and paid dearly for it (I traded dishes and laundry for bill paying and cooking).

Since I've been plugging my school lately: You can look up a sample Aerospace 4-year degree plan here: http://74.125.47.132/search?q=cache:7Bf4CTMOk3AJ:www.catalog.sdes.ucf.edu/degree_programs/aerospace_engineering.pdf+engineering+4+year+plan+ucf&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us&client=f...

He is actually in a unique position for the physics degree, although I agree with your sentiments. Of course he knows of http://www.usajobs.gov/ He is likely to take a government job. He is legally required to be considered before people without military experience, and if he is qualified he is mand...

Ah, sorry, +1 and then displacement. Doesn't matter, it is stupidly-cheap for what it does (Quickened CL 5 Displacement 1/day for 4K. Yes.)

GMI?

As a freaking side benefit, this makes you immune to targeted spells.
