I do think Track should certaintly be a skill, not a feat. Class skill for Ranger/Barbarian/Druid, Cross-Class for anyone else. I'd add a skill bonus to Ranger class that he can add his ranger level (besides taking ranks) to his Track check. Speaking of Rangers, I think the "virtual...

I should have phrased it as Gather Information +8. I actually meant the net bonus of +8, when I said "ranks". Obviously, with cross-class skills, ranks aren't the same as the net bonus. If you already have a high Gather Information, I thought spending a feat on Skill Focus Gather...

I dislike feats like Skill Focus as a prerequisite for a Prestige Class. Frankly, if you have enough ranks in that skill, you shouldn't have to spend a feat to qualify for it also. Example, the Justicar from Complete Warrior. Has a prerequisite of Gather Information of 5 ranks, and Feat...

My concern with that would be the limited number of feats characters get. Restricting them into more feat trees is going to further limit their choices, as they would only be able to progress down one or two feat trees. Also, many of the more powerful feats are already available at 1st level...

My group has most of the 3.5 expansion books. I have noticed the HUGE (almost ridiculous) number of feats now available. Given that the average character will not likely have more than a dozen feats through level 20, does it seem that some are just not created equal and are rarely ever...

The Japaneese are using the Sphere to clear mountains for more space and they unleash Godzilla from the bowels of the earth. I would only use the UL approved and ISO standard "safety sphere".

Sphere of Annihilation. Make millions disposing of toxic waste. Think of the toxic wastes from business, spent nuclear fuel rods, etc.

I was trying to be sarcastic. I meant to imply that it would only work on the naughty ones. LOL

Talisman of Pure Good if it worked on Lawyers and Congress

In one of the Green Ronin Modules (Black Sails over Freeport IIRC) we fought these intelligent dire ape like creatures on one of the Pirate Isles. They used a mancatcher type weapon with 10' reach. Required only a touch attack and they made a opposed grapple check or you were immobilzed...

So what is C&C?

When I ran it, my PC's were initially having an easy time. The Barbarian and Monk got "bored" while the rest of the party was going to rest and recover spells. They went exploring my themselves and ran into the roper. (heh, heh). I decided to be generous and let him parley with them...

From various games: A Minotaur fighter named T-Bone A pair of Half-Orc Barbarian brothers that went by Fe-Fi, and Fo-Fum A half-ogre from first edition with a 4 Intelligence that went simply by Og A dwarf nicknamed Hack. It wasn't his actual name just a nickname his character disliked...

Paraphrased from "Sagas of the Northmen Viking and German Myth" by Time-Life 1997: The Anglo-Saxons and Scandavians were both branches of Germanic peoples. Germanic was the term the Romans used to refer to the barbarian tribes of central and northern Europe that were not Celts. The tribes...

Are you wanting to know what sources you should look at? For example, Monster Mythology had a bunch of Demigods and avatar stats. Of Ships and the Sea had some mundane marine creatures. On the 7 Historical Reference Books: Vikings: Just gave alternate names to existing monsters (ex for...
