So I was talking to a friend today about how I thought that using a component orb was munchkiny, because you could get the orb's enhancement bonus to spells without needing a hand to hold it in, but then I went over the quote again, and it looks like there is nothing specifically there that...

Hey all. Take a look at these two sites: http://www.andycollins.net http://www.colin4judge.com Are the graphics involved public domain, or part of a common webdesign software package or something? I'm just kind of curious.

Hi all. I need to come up with a good Halloween adventure by next Thursday, and I'm hoping ENworld can help me out. Anything is useful; monsters to use, environments, plotlines, you name it. Here's the campaign outline: - Campaign world is Eberron - 3 PCs, level 2 (close to level 3)...

Hi all! I'm starting this thread not for statblocks, but just general outlines of people your PCs might encounter or read about in the Korranberg Chronicle. 1. Nedin Masay (human male ftr5), and 2. Narrak Masay (human male ftr5), aka the Aturian Brothers. This duo of upper-class...

Hi all. I'm going to be starting an Eberron campaign very soon, and I'm doing a few things here and there to beef up the 'pulp action' aspect of the setting. One thing I can't figure out a good mechanic for is attacks of opportunity. Basically I feel like they slow the game down, often...

Hi guys, I'm going to be starting an Eberron campaign soon, and I'm looking for a way to make combat more exciting, with pulp/swashbuckling feel. Action points help, but I'd really like to have a system that emphasizes flashy moves, improvised weapons, usage of the environment, and talking...

Hi all. Does anyone else think that controlling the lightning rail is too easy for an unmarked character? The sidebar on p. 267 says that it just takes an opposed Charisma check, with the elemental generally having a modifier of +0. Also, if the check fails, all the elemental can do is stop...

Hey all. I was looking at Dragon 319's Shen prestige classes and I was wondering, why are martial arts prestige classes always based on the animals of Shaolin kung fu? You'd think a D&D world would be a little more diversified. Is anyone interested in me coming up with some feats, or Shen...

This is in a hurry, so no formatting at the moment. Greater Feint You can fake out an opponent on the move, and attack from implausible angles. Prerequisite: Improved Feint, ?? Benefit: You may use the Bluff skill to feint in combat as part of a move action, or at the end of the movement...

Hi all. I was thinking about some various effects for spells that weren't worth raising the spell level. The only problem, then, is how to prevent casters from just applying them to all their spells. I hit on an idea: why not combine metamagic feats with tactical feats? Here's my starting...

The First Achievement of Swordsmanship Your sword need not touch its foe to inflict injuries. Prerequisites: Wisdom 13, weapon focus (any melee weapon), base attack bonus +5. Benefit: A number of times per day equal to 1 plus your Wisdom bonus, you may use any melee weapon for which you have the...

Hi all. I was thinking about designing a sort of spy-hunter character for use as an NPC in my campaign. It occurred to me that a rogue/barbarian would be pretty ideal for the purpose: he can have high ranks in Sense Motive, Diplomacy, Intimidate and Gather Information to identify spies and...

Impromptu Ward Abjuration Level: ? Components: S, F Casting Time: 1 free action Area: 30 foot emanation, centered on you Duration: 1 round or until discharged You may cast this spell even when it isn't your turn. The next time an effect would deal elemental damage to you and at least one other...

I thought that the NPC gnomish scientist in my Spelljammer campaign might be taking up too much time, so I contrived to remove him from the story, at least for a length of time. However, it would seem the PCs are quite taken with him and want to get him back. Right now, the three PCs (4th...

In my (Spelljammer) campaign, the PCs are probably going to find themselves accidentally awakening a group of beings who were demigods until they tried to overthrow the existing pantheon. They've spent the last few thousand years lying in a vault, stripped of nearly all their power, and...

I've been considering doing away entirely with the 'unarmed attack' mechanics, and just giving all the PHB races natural attack modes of 2 slams 1d3/1d3 (2 slams 1d2/1d2 for Small characters). Basically, any character who plans on doing any bare-knuckle fighting is going to be a monk anyway...

Hey all, I was wondering if there have been any errata for converting the Psionics Handbook to 3.5. I ask this specifically because of hustle, which grants the user an extra partial action on her next round. Since partial actions no longer exist in 3.5, I was going to have it give her a...

This is a race I'm working on for my Spelljammer campaign. The PC's haven't met any of them before, but they probably will soon. I don't like the model of monsters-as-characters where you magically add a level adjustment to the monster's hit dice, especially since most racial hit dice are...

Hi all. I'm needing a fighting style for a villain. Basically, I need a feat (or combination of feats) that allows him to emulate a particularly historically inaccurate method of swordsmanship often seen in samurai movies or anime. Specifically, I want him to be the guy that keeps his sword...

Hi all. My copy of Equilibrium arrived in the mail on Friday, and it inspired me to make a few feats. I haven't written any before, so I'm submitting them to you ENworlders for critique before I consider sending them to the Netbook of Feats. Note: this feat is based on Preston's ability to...
