 * I would like to request a rating update. --Franken Kesey 12:43, 31 July 2012 (UTC)


 * Maybe you should actually change something first. --Foxwarrior 19:51, 17 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Did you know? None of our complaints had to do with psionics. --Foxwarrior 20:45, 17 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Foxwarrior, Yes, it was noticed; I had been meaning to change to magic for some time now. You can still play the psionic variant, just give me a minute to get the page up. Is magnetism better?


 * MisterSinister, could you clarify as to what strange names and rules you are referring to? --Franken Kesey 20:58, 17 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Yeah, it's better, but why was that your solution? Were those restrictions just because you were worried that it was going to be too powerful otherwise?


 * If I had to hazard a guess, I'd say MisterSinister meant basically all of them. --Foxwarrior 21:27, 17 August 2012 (UTC)


 * I did not wish for the bolt/steps to be used more than once each. If left alone (without restrictions), there would be little cause to chose a bolt over seven steps that can be flung across the battle field at all times… (Though such a feature could be fun.) Magnetism, as it is, is quite potent, in essence returning enemies weapons with a vengeance! --Franken Kesey 21:44, 17 August 2012 (UTC)

"At 2th level a judge gains the ability to heal allies. As a full round action, judge can heal up to 1d4+1 hit points times their Judgment rating (6d4+6 at Judgment rating 6), the dice may be split amongst multiple allies (in 1d4+1 increments), and/or to used to heal the judge; this feature may be used to damage negative energy creatures. Example: 3d4+3 health to Talleyrand, 1d4+1 health to self, and 2d4+2 damage to an undead (at 6th level). This may be done once per encounter."

OK. So what range is this at? Is there a cap on how many targets you can affect? What's an encounter? Does it cap out at Judgment 6 or is that an example? Why do you have so many run-on sentences? What's a 'negative energy creature'? It's stuff like this, which basically comes down to the text being silent on an important topic that makes it very difficult for me to rate this whole class as anything but 'meh'.

Additionally, there are certain notational conventions and axioms which we follow when writing DnD rules for a reason - it makes more sense. You... don't. - MisterSinister 23:19, 17 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Was already noted that greater force of health replaced force of health, and supreme replaced greater – yet have added extra notation of this on page.


 * Yes there is a maximum amount of potential targets equal to how many increments one has (6 for force of heath, 11 for greater, 15 for supreme). Abet very minor healing. An encounter span is completely up to a GM. Noting that at 7th level (less than one half of the class), a judge has access to 6 features (excluding spells). Four features are per day (gravitational force, turn or rebuke elementals, nuclear force, and greater gravitational force) – equating to at least 11/day (additional with charisma scores above 11). Two features are per encounter (electric force and greater force of health) – equating 5/encounter. One should have enough abilities regardless of how stringent the GM is.


 * Negative energy creatures are noted in SRD:Cure Light Wounds. --Franken Kesey 22:08, 19 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Are you suggesting that its balance should be dropped? The consolidations did not in fact remove any features – all is still there – just simplified and standardized. --Franken Kesey (talk) 13:45, 6 October 2012 (UTC)


 * If you took out the really good spells, I suppose so. --Foxwarrior (talk) 17:44, 6 October 2012 (UTC)


 * Satisfied? --Franken Kesey (talk) 02:04, 10 October 2012 (UTC)


 * Does it now deserve the balance? --Franken Kesey (talk) 18:01, 13 October 2012 (UTC)

Name
If this is supposed to be in the main nav, it needs to have a better name rather than be a subpage of a class that is also in the main nav. Else you need to remove the User category from the page. - Tarkisflux Talk 21:06, 29 July 2013 (UTC)


 * How do you remove the user category? --Franken Kesey (talk) 21:12, 29 July 2013 (UTC)


 * At the bottom of the page, delete - Tarkisflux Talk  22:22, 29 July 2013 (UTC)
