It'd be better with the correct number of syllables, though it's rather nice outside of that. Anyways:

The single classed path
is taken by most druids,
unless you're a jerk.

Wizards feel the pull
of increased caster level.
Lose it, and face doom.

Not really. Your spellbook just stores which spells you're allowed to prepare. Wizards don't know ANY spells. If you lose your spellbook you can steal or buy another and have a completely different spell list.

I mean, semantics.

spellbook spells are wizard spells known.
What do you say now?


known spell: A spell that an arcane spellcaster has learned and can prepare. For wizards, knowing a spell means having it in their spellbooks. For sorcerers and bards, knowing a spell means having selected it when acquiring new spells as a benefit of level advancement.

Munchkins everywhere.
Rules-lawyering is a pain.

Edit: this is why a versatile spellcaster sorcerer with one level of wizard can spontaneously cast any spell he puts in his spellbook.

I did the exact same thing. I was going to prove the theurge was one syllable, by linking to dictionary pronunciations of existing words, and they're all pronounced the way he says. This throws my entire world view into question. Anyways, here's another haiku:

Never use halflings
to make a barbarian.
Strength penalty sucks.

Despite all of that
A Halfling Barbarian
is all sorts of win.

Then you can beat down
anything that is bigger,
which is many things.

When you are that small,
the sense of accomplishment
is all the greater.

And then you can laugh
when the words of your deeds spread.
They will fear Halflings.

Its not optimized.

People think bards too weak.
Weird Words Dragon's Fire Inspire
Roll many dice and laugh.
~~~~~~~~~~

Explanation:
Soundstriker Bard gets Weird Words.
Dragon's Fire Inspiration adds Xd6 energy damage (fire, cold, electrical, acid, even sonic) to weapon damage. Weird Words functions as a weapon in almost every respect, and is often considered weapon damage (DM's are a bit finicky about this).
Weird Words does 6-10 bolts, each bolt does 1D8 + Charisma + relevant damage modifiers + Dragon's Fire Inspiration damage (+ Sneak Attack damage if you can manage it) per bolt. By level 12, one example of such was doing 6D6 of DFI damage per bolt, firing 10 bolts. The bolts hit ranged touch attacks, often flat footed ranged touch if you set it up right. Yeah.

It's a combo that often catches people by surprise.
"Oh what, it's a Bard, whatever. OH GOD THE PAIN!"

overall, it's bad.

The horrid Monk class,
because of nerfed maneuvers,
worse now than he was.

Yet the great wizard,
(already overpowered)
has been thrown a bone?

Truth of the matter,
is Pathfinder is leeching
off 3e's success

Paizo broke as much
as it attempted to fix
If I'm liberal.

Yet some herald it
as being "new and improved"
and decry 3.5.

All that, let alone
their horrible designers
such as SKR.

3.5 presents
a multitude of options,
far beyond PF's

It has lots of fans,
homebrewers, optimizers
who improve the game

don't besmirch us so

indeed brave, Sir Knight, but the
fight is mine." – "Oh, had

enough, eh?" – "Look, you
stupid bastard, you've got no
arms left." – "Yes, I have."

– "Look!" – "Just a flesh wound."
– "Look, stop that." – "Chicken, chicken!"
– "Look, I'll have your leg...

Right!" – "Right, I'll do you
for that!" – "You'll what?" – "Come 'ere!
– "What are you going

to do, bleed on me?"
– "I'm invincible!" – "You're a
loony." – "The Black Knight

always triumphs! Have
at you! Come on, then. All right,
we'll call it a draw."

– "Come, Patsy." – "Oh, oh,
I see, run away then. You
yellow bastards! Come

back here and take what's
coming to you. I'll bite your
legs off!" said the knight.

Knights are a hoot – the
only class inspired by a
Monty Python film!

Just as the title reads. Thought it might be fun.

You are awful
Shining Blade of Heironeus
Go home, you are drunk


First line is only 4 syllables, rather than the 5 that makes it a haiku


Here is my latest work, I call it "Newbie playing a Bard."

"How do I haiku?"
"Roll d20, add Charisma"
"Perform (Poetry)."

*fingers snapping*


...I dislike poetry.

2nd line is 8 syllables. Haikus have 7.

You both fail.

Truly, you have failed.
You can only make critiques,
in haiku format.

Swordsages are quick

Last one's 11

A sentence a line.
Since you spoke of haiku rules.
Thought you'd want to know.

Lich is humanoid.
Others ineligible.
Pixies ≠humanoids.

oh dear it looks like RAW discussion via haiku form is becoming a thing after all

A simple mnemonic:

A good gish should have
Plus sixteen BAB and
Cast ninth level spells

And from personal experience:

Trying to convert my aphorism from another thread into haiku:

Fighters fight, Rogues steal
Wizards blast and Clerics heal,
Bards suck: low-op game

High-Op: rocket tag
Be a caster or be tool
Combat lasts one round
