If you read my work on alignment that I linked, there is no part where being evil involves being an uncooperative asshole. Those exist in ANY alignment. Lawful evil individuals, as stated there, put the group first anyway.
Oh yeah.  LE is by far one of the best alignments to have on allies.  I know SDK wouldn't do anything disruptive.  I was just surprised.
Depends on how intelligence that LE guy is. I mean, you don't want to be having an intelligence score 48 (wonder where I got that number?) ally, because that means you are going to get fucked.

Point.  I'll just assume no one is much smarter than my fighter in the party.  We don't have any wizards yet.

It always seems like the barrels around here have something in them.

Anyone with Dispi Int of any alignment has a right to fuck anyone in the ass, and then charge them money for it being so good.

Dude - smart evil means you know how important being nice to your friends are.  Evil people aren't scary alone - they're scary when they've got lots of good, loyal peeps to back them.  I've played a ton of evil characters in good parties, and everybody always loved me. And I was usually NE, too - remember, a SMART sociopath is nice to everybody - because getting people to like you and help you brings you WAY more fun and profit than being a dick!

I'm thinking of some Tome of Fiends stuff.  More soon!

Okay, I'm back in town, and going to catch up with everything. :D

Quick questions: Would the dungeonomicon monk's AC bonus stack with the AC bonus from Boneblade reaper? Would you allow Carmendine Monk (Champions of Valor feat) to make the dungeonomicon monk's Willow Step ability Int based?

I just saw an interesting thread in the den about 3.X saves.  Interesting idea:
Class/RHD based saves are gone.  Everyone has base saves of 2+1/2 HD(rounded down) for all 3 saves.  All effects with a DC have DC = 10+1/2 HD (rounded up)+ability mod.

This way lower level spells that offer saves stay more useful and higher level spells are more likely to fail.

ubernoob: Consider both approved for use. Everyone else: mine this thread, it is made of lotsa awesome.

Also ubernoob: If everyone else doesn't mind, I don't mind using this save variant. I've been following it with great interest, and maybe trying it out may help.

Tshern: Read the druid in the thread ubernoob linked and tell me if you would be happy playing it.

Aftercrescent:
Quote from: Monk
A Monk has a special Armor bonus whenever they are not using armor or shields that
he is not proficient in. This Armor Bonus applies against Touch Attacks and Incorporeal Touch Attacks, and
has a value of +4.
Quote from: Boneblade Reaper
armor bonus that counts against touch attacks and incorporeal
touch attacks. For each additional level of this class, this bonus increases by +1.

No stacking of identical bonuses, thus, no stacking. As for Carmedine Monk, I am not familiar with the exact wording, so if you can post it, I can make a ruling, which I suspect will be a positive one.

Yeah... So, eldritch knight looks really tasty.  Since Tome of Gears never could decide on what to do about consumables how would scribe scroll work?  Also, is retraining in effect so I could pick up still spell once I pick up a wizard level?

Scribe Scroll would cost cash, but not XP, since, as Frank and K said, it was silly to charge people XP for making stuff. Also, you can take metamagic feats without having any caster levels by RAW, there is no problem with that. However, I will add a note on retraining.

Hmm.  Without the xp river scribe scroll blows.  Can I use the combat wizard ACF from UA?

Ubernoob, XP river = dumb side-effect which should not be there. Also, combat wizard is fine. :D

Awesome.  Since we are playing with RoW are [Combat] feats valid?

Metagame analysis: with retraining I'd effectively be trading scribe scroll for still spell.

Here's the feat...
I'm still not entirely sure what I want for the base, but I'm pretty set on Boneblade Reaper :D

Are domain wizards (UA) in?  It's either transmutation, conjuration or focused specialist in transmutation.
