'''Ryan:'''  Pending allowance of a modified Fighter Variant: Thug.  I think it would fit Tolmek's character more.  [[http://www.d20srd.org/srd/variant/classes/variantCharacterClasses.htm#fighterVariantThug Class description.]]
We discussed a few things regarding your revision of fighters for IK and how those should affect this class.
*Things I'm fine giving up: No choice of strong reflex save.
*Things I'd like to keep: extra 1 point in a craft skill.
*Possible edition to the variant: Instead of losing the feat at first level, grant urban tracking as a bonus feat at 1st.  I mean come on.  Ranger lite.
----
'''Ryan:''' I'm considering the Extra Music feat for Tolmek (+4 music uses/day).  Is this adaptable for fell caller?  Also, since the fell caller gets fell call uses per day at twice the rate of bard, would this feat be good for more than 4 uses/day?
----
'''Daryl:''' thug as a fighter without a 1st level feat but 4 instead of 2 skill poitns per level and only light armor [and those skills].  that's fine.  extra music's fine, though not too useful for fell caller comparative to bard.


Scheduling:  Since there isn't going to be a gameday for LRC on 29 Dec and the session before the holidays was cancelled, would you mind if I ran LRC starting on 05 Jan? --[[User:Wizardoest|Randy, DM]] 14:42, 27 Dec 2005 (EST)

'''Herman:''' Why were you surprised that I bought Races of the Dragon? (Or at least, what sparked the "Don't tell me you actually bought Races of the Dragon" comment.)

* [[srd:classes/barbarian.htm|Barbarian]] this has been enabled for a long time, though it will soon redirect to d20final when complete.


Also, you'll love the book.  It's section on Kobolds is extensive and it has a set of classes that can easily boost a melee or a sorcerous kobold into a force to be reckoned with.  A fighter 4, sorcerer 1, dragon disciple 10 can get a total of +10 to strength by 15th level.  Plus Disciple of the Eye is one of the quirkier prestige classes that I've seen.

The next campaign is unlikely to resolve the following issues I still have with the rules:
* Fear

* Hit die vs CR
** more abilities should rely on the creature's CR rather than its HD
*** Polymorph
*** Knowledge skill identification
*** Immunities to low-level spells
* Grappling
** So far outside of the normal rules
** So very powerful if specialized in it
** Screws over so many people on a lost grapple

On a different note, I made mention of an article that proved that Improved Critical and keen should still stack.  Here it is:

I'm not asking for any rulings on improved critical by posting this article.  I'm just posting it because I wanted you to know why I brought it up.
== Simon's spellbook ==


'''Daryl:''' I always liked the idea of multiple forms of threat-increasing stacking.  But, I'd like to keep it by the rules.  As for my asking that -- I knew you'd buy it.  I was considering it but have not.  I might if I catch another Mediaplay going out of business with 40% off all books.
[[Talk:Simon]]


'''Herman:''' That's okay.  I didn't think you'd let them stack anyway.  Besides, I don't think the writer of the article knew there'd be a greatsword with an 18 to 20 threat range. 
== Planted a Tree for ya ==


As for Races of the Dragon, I'd've been surprised if you thought I ''wasn't'' going to buy it. It's just some of the comments about the scanners make me wonder if you've got another source for sourcebooks.

'''Herman''' Daryl, I'd like to change Jamison's feats around a little. I was thinking Power Attack instead of Monkey Grip and either Cleave or Improved Sunder for the 3rd level feat.  (Probably Cleave to get Great Cleave at 6th level)

I've looked at the math for Monkey Grip and the extra damage you get from having the Monkey Grip as a feat ISN'T ANY BETTER THAN POWER ATTACK.  If I'm doing the math correctly, then it's actually worse.
== Proposal to the template Starring ==


Jamison gets an extra 1d6 from Monkey Grip for a -2 to his attack rolls, an average of 3.5 points of damage.  But if he'd taken Power Attack instead he'd get +4 damage for the same penalty to hit.  Even with critical hits factored in, power attack is still better.
See [[Template_talk:Starring]]


There is also the fact that most weapons DON'T give 1d6 extra damage, they only up the die size once. The best other weapons give is 2d4 to 2d6 with Monkey Grip and most weapons don't do that.
== Expanded Shaman list ==


This will change a grand total of next to nothing for roleplay purposes.  Jamison will still carry a Cleft Greatsword which draws sideways looks and distrust. The only real benefits will be a slightly better chance to hit and the ability to carry a backup weapon that isn't a dagger. (14 pounds off of encumbrance.)
[[Shaman Spell List]]


Jamison's gold will also stay the same because It's already been spent.  I'm not even going to ask for a revision of his gold spent because I didn't make sure a feat was worth taking.  It's not that bad a hit anyway.
== Results of Disposable poll ==


I'm now wondering why Wotc even printed Monkey Grip. It's not worth the cost you pay when you take the feat.
