Zman's Warmage Fix(3.5)

[Zman]

I like these very much! If only I had seen it before creating my last character [a vanilla warmage]..

Just one thing though: isn't a d8 a bit too much for its HD? I mean, they're trained for war etc, but they already have a medium BaB, proficiency with armors (and the ability to cast spells with them)..I mean, a d6 would be better in my opinion since they would still be more resistant then the average wizard without being as resistant as a monk or a ranger..

Thanks, glad you like it.

As to the D8, there a couple of reasons.

Opens up basic Gish Options. Blasty Arcane Strike Gish is an Option, etc.
My Fixed Sorcerer has a D6. Only Fixed base class with a D4 is the Wizard.
This is meant to be part of my line of fixes, which includes my Minir Magic Fix. Caster take NonLethal damage equal To the Spell Level.

Granted, even without my Minir Magic Fix this increased Hit Dice is not imbalancing and will certainly offer a different feel making it a viable option. The guy was Tier 4, I simply bumped him up to Low Tier 3.

Edit: One other Point, a Druid has a D8...


Edit2: As always I invite anyone to check out my other class fixes and my 3.5 Overhaul located in my Signature.
