Multispell Howdy UK, IMHO, the changes to existing feats/epic feats should be minimal. The above suggestion is too different from the original and introduces a new number to keep track of (your current caster level). It's going to confuse some people and slow down combat. Multispell does not...

Anti-Magic Shell Perhaps not overpowered in every game, but slightly so in mine. It's a trump card effective against everything remotely magical, which can be a bit frustrating. The spell is a basis for some very effective tactics both in and out of combat, which I don't want to deal with in...

Hi UK, This is a deviation from the normal rules, which assume that you can take different actions in whatever order you want to. You need to word this rule so that it does not contradict this. For example: "When using the free action to cast a quickened spell, you can cast more than one...

I've never had a problem with this one. It's D&D magic, although I do use Rolemaster justifications for the three flavours of magic. (Essence/Channeling/Mentalism vs. Arcane/Divine/Psionic) IMHO, defensive spells compensate pretty well for their weaknesses, especially against melee and ranged...

All my lame deaths have happened with Rolemaster... :uhoh: I made an elven ranger after the death of my last character. I spotted my future friends fighting a band of orcs, so I started running towards the combat to help them. An orc archer spotted me and promptly shot an arrow into my eye...

I usually covert 3.0 adventures on the fly, but sometimes it creates odd results. For example, there is a 20'x20' room in RtToEE with five ogres in it. When combat started they were all immediately squeesing and only one could fight in the doorway. :confused: I should have made the room...

Acting like a coward will get you a craven's reputation , but reputation is not the motivating force for a paladain when it comes to being honorable. A paladin is honorable for honor's sake and acts accordingly. Reputation follows from his actions, but I'd say that most paladins could not care...

Ok. :D Don't be silly. Reputation has nothing to do with what we're discussing. In any case, A paladin is not concerned about his reputation. He acts honorably even when alone. At that very moment the life of the girl was not threatened according to the original post. The rapist was unzipping...

A paladin has to act with honor outside combat as well. The execution might have been merciful for the rapist, but definitely not honorable. I agree. However, the paladin in the example was not burdened with both of them. He was free to act as judge, jury and executioner, but a paladin still...

I voted yes, he loses paladinhood until atonement. Did the rapist deserve to die? Absolutely Did the Paladin kill the rapist? Yes. Is the Paladin bound to bring the rapist to justice? Yes. Did he? Yes. Did the Paladin fight with honor and valor? No. He backstabbed an evildoer. Therefore...

Yes, but it would get maximised with a metamagic rod as well. Although you would need a greater Rod to get it hightened... good point. It seems that the cost of Ring of Maximised Fireballs should be based on the greater metamagic rod of maximation (121500 gp), unless more limitations are...

I guess not, but it would be an interesting item nevertheless. Off the cuff, I'd say the same cost as a normal Metamagic Rod - Maximise (54000 gp). Unlimited and automatic usage cancels the one spell only limitation, IMHO. I have a nagging feeling it should cost more, but I can't pinpoint why...

What about a ring that maximies all fireballs the wielder casts? Like a metamagic Rod, but which has no times/day limit, but only applies to specific spell? - DJ

System: Mutants & Masterminds. Lightyears ahead of anything else I've seen including HERO, old FASERIP Marvel and others. A perfect blend of ease of use and flexibility. Setting: Freedom City also from Green Ronin. A nice 4-colourish City full of heroes and villains. I've also heard good...
