Re: The absolute worst class of all time (you haven't seen this one before)
I work very irregular hours and usually very long ones at that. If I do not respond to something in a timely manner pester me in an OOC thread. If something big is happening in the Middle East I will probably be busy for a few days because I am the idiot wearing kevlar and interviewing people on the fronts.
Do you like MTG? Do you like Gitp? We have a Discord server for like minded players.

Isn't Gandalf better statted as a level 6 or level 5 paladin than a level 6 or level 5 wizard?

I prefer Bard myself. Isn't his main shtick Inspire Courage (Oratory) and
Bardic KnowledgeLore?
Of course, he's still a Solar in addition to his class levels; he's just forbidden from using those abilities unless he's up against a Balor or something similar.
Meanwhile, Narya is a reslotted Badge of Valor...

Re: The absolute worst class of all time (you haven't seen this one before)
Well, I haven't looked at many classes on that wiki, but I have seen the races..
People seem to give out extremely overpowered abilities for a really low LA -OR- Use a high LA to justify insane abilities.
Like these guys, who can manipulate reality as a full-round action.Last edited by Zale; 2011-12-31 at 06:23 PM.

Re: The absolute worst class of all time (you haven't seen this one before)
I thought it was some kind of fish race when I clicked it.
Ictheyin? Sounds sorta fish-like.
There's about twelve or so sub-races of elf on there too.
And a skinless humanoid destined to be chaotic stupid. With +10 Strength. At LA 0.On a quest to marry Asmodeus, lord of the Nine Hells, or die trying.

Am I the only one who feels there's something vaguely wrong with this race?

Re: The absolute worst class of all time (you haven't seen this one before)
But they are CLEARLY balanced! I would actually say they are a bit underpowered; a -4 to Con and a -6 to Dex means that they are going to be flimsier than other races AND will have less HP.
Let's see... You have to spend A LOT of their point buy into stats that are incredibly important for your little melee characters, and it's not as if they can do ranged, what with their -6 to Dexterity.
So, yeah, they wanted LA +0 and massive Str, but FAILED at balance the opposite direction.
Good job continuing the stereotype, stupid writer!
And I have feeling that the not-at-all-fish were an attempt to model deities as a race. Whoever wrote that was a stupid git. Either that, or a DM tired of having his players kill his gods/important NPCs...

Re: The absolute worst class of all time (you haven't seen this one before)
To be fair, the 'Reality Rewriters' race has LA: n/a, so it's not a playable race. They're not Mary Sue given stats, they're Deus Ex Machina incarnate.

Re: The absolute worst class of all time (you haven't seen this one before)
While I was staring at the baffling sexism, the absolutely broken stats (LA 0? Really??) snuck up behind me and smashed my head in with a baseball bat. Fortunately, the author appears to be thoughtful and was aware of the problems with his work (in the Discussion tab), so I can respect that he's probably improved significantly since 2008.
I think it's safe to conclude that homebrewing is extremely difficult.

well,
It was a bad idea on my part. I think that this might be one of those ideas of mine which is destined for the trash heap. --Noname 10:35, 28 March 2009 (MDT)

If you need me somewhere, don't hesitate to PM me. I have bad mental health days sometimes, so if I vanish that's probably why. PMs will help break me out of that.

Re: The absolute worst class of all time (you haven't seen this one before)
Read the talk page.
It's supposed to be balanced around making up new effects for your spells, like "ray of frost freezes enemies solid if you use enough at the same time".Last edited by Prime32; 2012-01-01 at 06:51 PM.

Re: The absolute worst class of all time (you haven't seen this one before)
No, Imitate Spell is unrelated (and wasn't always there), I mean you were supposed to be able to do that anyway without a rule for it. By being clever.
The first block of text mentions Imitate Spell.
An earlier version of the class allowed you to learn a spell of any level as a cantrip if you reduced its effects, with no further explanation.Last edited by Prime32; 2012-01-01 at 06:54 PM.

Re: The absolute worst class of all time (you haven't seen this one before)
I can't balance for crap, but.. Enter the Arcanist!
Arcanist Empowerment: This ability allows the Arcanist to add his age to numerical values of his spells. (example: Dargus, the Evo-Arcanist, Usesw his Magic Missile spell at level 1. The spell causes 2 missiles to strike the target at 1d4+1+his age in damage. As he is a human arcanist and rolled in at 27 years old, his magic missiles each do 29-32 damage each.) This ability is why the creator recommends only allowing humans.

Re: The absolute worst class of all time (you haven't seen this one before)
Yeah, most area of effect spells. You need LoS/LoE to the target, and now the Radius is now... prohibitive, to say the least. The Range gets boosted too, but is only effectively useful right on the extreme edge of that or it'll catch you too.
Also, Celerity now Dazes you for a month. Have fun with that!
