As one of Shiv's players, I'll add that yes, we had talked about the Level 25 Warlord ability "Stir the Hornet's Nest", that lets all his allies to make a ranged basic attack against his target if he misses... but that's an awfully long time to wait to put that particular boon into play.

If you work out the numbers, my system does put them at an average of two levels behind. At low levels they are only 1 level behind, but starting at around 7-8th level they drop to 2 levels behind and stay that way up to 20th. You're right that in 1st/2nd edition they were only about 1 level...

I've done this... changing multiclassing to be gestalt-like. I made some extra rules for it though, to make it more compatible with single-classed characters. You can find the complete rules here: http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=153391 but here's the basics... - xp is divided evenly...

I converted the 1e version of multiclassing to 3.5e, including the ability for elven, half-elven and gnomish spellcasters to wear some armor while casting at a reduced penalty.

Still looking for someone? I'm living in Hamden (moved here from Toronto) while my wife attends Yale. I might be interested, but I think I'd like to hear some details on the game first. :)

Yup. The numbers support that. Honestly, I like the level-independent xp variant for use with this. No manipulation of the numbers is necessary. They don't get any more or less than any other character, their xp just counts as a higher percentage of their level (even with dividing by two). Since...

I tried it that way and it ended up even worse than a standard multiclass character in nearly all respects, so it went contrary to my original intent. Let me know what you come up with. I currently like it, since it allows the old "elven fighter/magicuser" wearing armor and casting spells that...

Ah, that would explain it. I haven't read much on Eberron, so I'm not familiar with the contents of the setting book. Hmm... well, I suppose if they took one of those feats it would be okay to multiclass in those, but I'm not really sure. I sort of like the fact that they are very singular...

Someone else asked this. See under my newly-renamed "dual-classing" (ie: the old multiclassing), I'm putting in a restriction that you can only take two classes, not including prestige classes. So, I just went with the terminology that was in place for the 20 or so years before 3e turned up (and...

In talking to a bunch of people in various games and in online discussions, I've been hearing a lot that the current system for multiclassing just isn't worth it for some class combinations (especially arcane spellcasters). I've taken some ideas from previous editions, mixed them with gestalts...

I'm afraid I'm going to have to follow suit with doghead. It's been almost a month of inactivity for this game, and as of tomorrow my internet access is being cancelled due to me moving to the US. I'll have my new internet up and running as of next week, however I told myself that I was going to...

Mjr Rannick, CompForce ((ooc: just to get a straight picture in my mind, I assume this "metal extending outwards" is on the corner at the far left, on the same wall as the viewport... in the extreme upper left-hand corner of your drawing? As opposed to the bottom left corner of that part of the...

It's been over two weeks since the last posts. Does everyone just have exams and such, or is the game over?

Mjr Rannick, CompForce "Devlin, Sri? Spot for us. Watch for activity inside and out as we proceed." With that, he'll lead Bruck and Archimedes to the left. ((ooc: could I trouble our benevolent GM for a map? :)))

Mjr Rannick, CompForce Hmm... No entrances... he thinks... Rannick nods to Archimedes "We should scout it out to see if there's an entrance on the far side of the bunker. We may be approaching it from the rear." he looks around at the terrain. "I'm curious if there might be any other ways in...
