Re: [3.5] How is the Canger Mage broken?
To expand, Festering Anger means you get infinite Str, with no drawbacks.

Re: [3.5] How is the Canger Mage broken?
Also, Vile Rigidity. Both it and Festering Anger are diseases in the same book as the Cancer Mage.

Re: [3.5] How is the Canger Mage broken?
Yea, disease that increases your Str, while dropping a couple of your other mental stats. Since you don't lose the mental stats, you just get the bonus Str.
Real fun is if you are an Aeshkrau Illumian (Races of Destiny), your bonus spells are based on your Str score, which essentially gives you infinite spells per day.

Re: [3.5] How is the Canger Mage broken?
Its only spells/day. DCs are still based on whatever the base casting stat is. So, while you'd get infinite spell slots, your action economy would be stunted unless you had an arbitrarily lengthy amount of time.
Don't knock Aeshkrau! Seriously, outside of Cancer Mage shananigens, its really pretty balanced. Great for Illumian gishes, which makes sense, considering that Illumian's fluff is that they love multiclassing as a racial trait anyway, and most gishes are pretty mutted out in terms of class levels.
As far as fluff, its not hard to imaging. Its just drawing a line between physical reserves of power and magical reserves of power. The zen of working out. Its not like you are flexing someone to death...

Re: [3.5] How is the Canger Mage broken?
It suffers no ill effects from diseases, but gets the beneficial ones. Festering Anger gives +2 Str/day, Vile Rigidity gives +1 natural armor a day. The worst part is that you don't even need to do anything besides hate someone passionately to contract Festering Anger.
Ranger 1/Survivalist Variant Fighter 2/Cancer Mage X can have infinite Str and NA at 4th level. And it's not even a real mage.
I still love the class, as long as it's houseruled to suffer no effects from diseases, harmful or beneficial.
