You have never seen an optimized fighter in action have you?

An Optimized fighter can easily top DPR charts... Heck, Archer fighters can 1-2 round a balor easy.

The problem with fighters is... pretty much EVERYTHING ELSE. If the answer is not, hit it with a stick, then they really don't know what to do...

Actually, I find that "Hit it with a stick" is not a good solution to the Archer's problem. After all, +5 Adaptive Seeking Longbows aren't exactly cheap. Try "Throw some smaller sticks at it through a bow" instead.

Remember that the wizard is not created to beat cthulu, he just can. Also crb only wizards are still insane haha, you could keep wizards to crb only and they would be tier 1 easily.

Sure it is. Its totally created to beat Cthluhu...in initiative!

The Fiend Fantastic should not rule this city because he first has to get medicalmagical attention about that sunburn.

All-alchemist party. After all, they have Extracts, not spells.

Here is my dream superweapon list:
On my +5 Heavy Fortification Glamored Silken Ceremonial Armor, +5 Defending Armor Spikes.

In my hands:+1 Dueling Brilliant Energy dagger and a +1 Vorpal Keen Scimitar forged by my Simulacrum Balor, who infused it with the 15-20 vorpal range. So I can boost my AC, be mostly immune to critical hits/sneak attack, nobody realizes I have armor spikes/armor, and keep fighting until I get that lucky 20 death effect.

I'd also have Contingency set to teleport me to a cleric's guild that I am on good terms with when reduced to 1HP or less, and have a pouch of Diamond Dust on me with an instruction for clerics to raise/heal me if I am dead/unconscious, and have there be enough diamond dust for 2 raise dead's, so they make a profit.

And for good measure, mix Trap the Soul and the Tarrasque together and have it placed on my person so that if you were to damage me you might break it. So if you kill me, the tarrasque comes out.

Just in case you missed it, one thing to keep in mind is that the Flame Blade scimitar doesn't use strength to boost it's damage, so Dervish Dance will do nothing but boost it's attack. Also since the blade just needs to hit Touch AC you really don't need a high attack roll in most cases.

Says the Gunslinger as s/he walks into a room full of high-level Crane Style monks...

As I said..."in most cases". How often does a Druid find themselves walking into a room full of hostile Crane Style Monks?

*shudders* Too often ;p

Bah! That's from the Bestiary FAQ and has little to no bearing on PC rules from other books. The context is likely for GMs creating their own monsters and what not.

That is wrong. The rules apply wherever they are applicable. There is no rule saying that rules from one book don't affect another book. It was the eidolon argument that prompted that FAQ so of course it applies.

No. The context is absolutely meant for PCs, and there's no reason to assume it's not for PCs as well.

I know because I asked the question that made it appear :)

Why on earth is it in the Bestiary FAQ then?

Dunno. Why are there non-bestiary options for a PC to take "Monster Feats", and why does it say in the bestiary that GM's may allow PC's to take Monster Feats?

To allow a shield to be both a shield and at the same time a weapon would immediately make all weapons obsolete.

The Falcata disagrees, as does the scimitar and scythe. I hear they are forming a protest as we speak.

A is for Aram Zey.

Sunblock.

A lot of this is a repeat of earlier, but

I'd rate Rogues as being weaker than Rogues in every category other than that of skill monkey.

Wow, rogues are even losing to themselves now. I knew the rogue thing was kinda bad, but I never suspected this.

"I think therefor I am. My fireball thinks, therefor you aren't anymore."

Oh god, imagine a Machinesmith vs a Lich?

Machinesmith: You cannot exist. By all laws of reality and physics, you are an impossibility and therefore, nothing more than a figment of my imagination.

Lich: .....

Lich: *fires Empowered fireball*

Machinesmith: *Disproves existance of fireball and counter-spells it* See... you are a lie...

Lich: *Facepalm*

As a wise man once said "I think therefor I am. My fireball thinks, therefor you aren't anymore.
