Even item 7 from your Tome of Fiends errata is a bit much, don't you think? +4 Str, +2 Con, large size. Is large size with no stats OK at level 5? A few more in a similar vein: Leadership feats. Even now 1 feat doesn't pay for a cohort that's useful. What would you do to get your cohorts / tiny figh...

I don't think Vehicles being non-creature by default is an issue, considering Vehicles require a pretty specific condition to act like a creature. When a creature has a subtype, it's basically for tribal purposes. When an artifact has a subtype, it indicates some important functionality (ex: equipme...

Related to this topic, I have a question about feat distribution. On the 1/lvl plan, there are certain feats that take up too much power budget to make the list, but aren't offered anywhere else. Stuff like Attune Sphere and Large Size, that quite can't be broken down like Kaelik/AlphaNerd Metamagic...

Why do we need tiers? Prerequisites can still exist. Wings of Evil has a level prereq, just like Breath Weapon and Harmless Form. 4 levels is the difference between stinking cloud and solid fog . What is level-appropriate at level 5 will be annoyingly weak at level 8. Unless you're concerned about p...

Alternatively you can tie the more powerful effects to less powerful ones as pre-req's, creating a suitable feat investment requirement. I'm not saying it will be totally straightforward, just that it gives you a wide baseline of feats to work with already sorted into roughly level-appropriate band...

Take all of those with some salt. They're written by disgruntled employees pseudo-anonymously, so they're not good metrics for actual issues.

The tag after Thalia's Lieutenant is an img tag, which is making your spoiler eat a bunch of text. The thing I hate most is how pushed some of these cards are. Beating down with $50 bills feels about right. Grim Flayer, Gideon, and Avacyn are just nuts. To the B in B/G Delirium - the black stuff is ...

To clarify how Ice Spheres work - you make one and choose one of your Icewright abilities to put in it. Then you set it to rotation mode or holding mode. In rotation mode it can be used to make melee attacks for damage, in holding mode it can be thrown to conjure up the chosen Icewright ability at i...

There may be a silver lining to all of this... The Republicans have been extremely successful in part because of the redistricting that occurred in 2010. We have 4 years of a Republican President and at least 2 years of a Republican Senate/House. Over the last several years they've been obstruction...

Apparently it takes 6 years to become a Canadian citizen and may have to pay US taxes still? Either way, I am tied to the US for personal reasons until around the next election time, so I can't really contemplate moving to Canada.

Can't report on the value of gameplay, but I don't get good feedback from players when using stats that double as offense and defense. I have players that love to be a full glass cannon and players that want to be a tanky tank.

Fast creatures could be represented by dying on the turn they come into play -- Ball Lightning is one, and one of the Chandras makes Elementals with her + ability.

I can see specific abilities like "First Strike (Ex)" being a good signpost for players who are familiar with MtG. I don't know what a good way to implement them is, but my gut tells me they are best on a set of "beginner" classes (like tome berserker & fire mage) because a p...
