Good point regarding the magic weapon/sneak attack comparison. I'm working on an alternate idea.[br][br][br] Your class should probably ditch the animal companion entirely, because I don't actually see what it is for. [br][br]It's there to represent the "Wild Hunt" aspect of the warrior fe...

Thanks for the criticism, guys...version 1.7 is currently up at the WotC boards, and I'm working on version 1.8. I'm incorporating a (Su) quasi-spellcasting mechanic (thank you, Sig!), and am currently working with 6 spell levels. The idea is that the BB can cast "spells" of his highest le...

1199133226[/unixtime]]Aside from the animal companion, however, its still very good. shifting is a free action, and you're still a full spellcaster. So you can buff or flip between front line and fire support at will. Do it right, and you still make melee classes cry.[br][br]If you sit down and wor...

IIRC, the word "tiefling" is actually German.

The shapeshifter variant in PHB2 is quite good. You can shapeshift at level 1...as a swift action...an unlimited number of times,[br][br]BUT...[br][br]You CANNOT cast spells while shapeshifted.[br]You lose your mind-controlled tank...I mean, "Animal Companion"[br]You're limited to a few sp...

Ouch. That was painful.[br]And this is someone who likes tieflings and has no interest in gnomes.[br]Go, WotC! Way to alienate your fan base and introduce new stereotypes![br][br](BTW, in any game I've been in, a PC who looks like that tefling would have a mob of irate villagers chasing her with tor...

Okay, here we go...[br][br]@ FrankTrollman: Excellent points, and believe me, I am considering them. Let me go over your post point-by-point.[br][br] Fey-Flavored: What you say brings up what I feel is a large misconception about the fey. The average D&D gamer thinks "fey" = "magi...

Here we go with version 1.9[br][br]Many thanks to Sigma999 and Frank Trollman for their useful advice. I didn't incorporate everything, but I did consider everything.[br][br] "Do not frown, mortal. Laugh! Laugh, for the dance of steel, for the music of the blades, and for the beauty of bright b...

1198595261[/unixtime]]Talisman: as said, it looks like the Feybook version hasn't gotten any significant change since my suggestions; I ask that you keep it like it was before you posted it at WotC so that TGD folks interested take a look at it as it was, because the opinion on the WotC version's ....

Hey guys, Talisman here...creator of the bright blade.[br][br]Just to explain, I made this class to be a fey-flavored alternative to the paladin. It's been through several incarnations, and I posted it at WotC to get more feedback.[br][br]Interestingly, Bigode's take was "this is weak!," w...

Book of Exalted Deeds has a feat called Purify Spell that lets you keep a spell from affecting Good creatures, at a cost of +1 spell level. Maybe an evil version of that? Would let you trigger fireballs and what-not right at your feet.

Hey Sig! Awesome stuff...I haven't had a chance to review the whole thing, but I will soon, and will leave more useful feedback.[br][br]One thing I did note in passing: True Fey tend to prefer Transmutation, Enchantment, Transportation (but not Summoning), Curative, and Shapeshifting magic, but thes...
