    Looking for help with feats

    I am going to the Kubla Con convention and need to write up some 3.5 characters *the games list what point buy & books are allowed. I have most 3.5 books, though I play pathfinder currently. My problem is all but my pathfinder books are packed (I am moving soon). Is there a database that...

    Hits to Kill

    I am thinking of a variant for HP to make combat a bit nastier. Any thoughts or expectations? I know this will make combat more dangerous, but to balance it out, I'd be treating monsters with high damage potential to be higher CRs. My biggest concern is spells inflicting HTK... HP remains...

    Replacing Cold Iron, Mithral, Adamantine, etc

    I've decided to replace the core special metals and replace them with alchemical and eldritch metals. I'm doing this to create more variety, give the PCs (& NPCs) something attainable and makeable, and remove the value risk. These metals lose there properties if melted down - so unlike a...

    Submitting a beasty for review (and help in finding a name!)

    First off, the creature! I've got the name tentatively as "Shingleback Stalker" This large magical beast is reptilian, with 2 cyclopian serpent heads at the end of long sinuous necks. It's body is tiger-like in proportion and shape, but covered in stripes of dark and light green scales, with...

    Help finding an open content monster

    I’m looking for a replacement for Witchknives in a module I’m working on – they play the heavies (masters of a slaver ring), and I need an open content monster to take their place. Any ideas?

    Aberration feats

    Hey folks - I'm looking for new aberration feats! Introduced in Lords of Madness, they offer some rather neat potential. One I was thinking about is Cartilage Frame - it allows you to squeeze through an area as if you were 2 sizes smaller then normal. You are still squeezing through spots...

    Raining Down Flammable Oil

    Ok, I'm writing out a series of encounters, and there is a possibility of some real nastiness coming down on the players. I would think this encounter supremely avoidable, but you know players... they get into the darndest predicaments! The possible situation: they walk through an open...

    Improved Skeletal Servant

    I have a PC necromancer with a skeletal servant instead of a familiar. What I'd like to do is buff him up with a feat - but no such feat exists. What would you think a feat should do, given the ability of improved familiar over a familiar, and that the skeletal servant is an alternative to a...

    Wimp, Munchkin, or Ok? Azrael

    Is this PC too wimpy, powerful, or what. If he's too wimpy, any suggestions as to what he needs/alter? If he's too powerful, why? Note, the stats are per the campaign, 80 points, divide as you like. Ok - he's a domain wizard, not a specialist. Why: history-wise, he was studying at a college...

    Templates for my summon natures ally

    There is a new feat in a FR book, Greenbond, I think, that allows summon natures ally to apply the template, Greenbond, to the summoned creature. This is a great concept, but the template is immensely overpowered (grants 1/day wall of thorns, bonus stats, fast healing, and DR). I’m looking for...

    Help me build this character

    Ok – I’m looking for feedback for my next character. I’m planning on playing a Halfling named Pembriel, and I’ve got a good bit of his concept already nailed down, but I still need help with the class & feat mix. Note – I’ve made 3 different versions of him, played a few games with him, but...

    A little help with the cost of a MG item

    My wife is DMing me (Yea-ha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) Now, I have many more years experience then she - and she asks my opinion on matters, which has led me to feel potentially guilty. You see, I started off with a 3rd lv character and asked for a magic item that cast a 1st level...

    Tactics - how would you represent this

    I've got a war mage who spent skill points on a skill, tactics. There is no skill currently that duplicates what I'm looking for - training in military tactics. Any suggestions, current rules, or ideas? Currently, they are just a waste of skill points on my sheet, which is ok, but I'm...

    do you allow flaws?

    Well, do ya, punk! If you allow characters to take flaws, how many? Vacant minds would like to know. If you are unfamiliar with flaws - a weakness is 'purchased' for a character, generally generating a penalty worse then a feat would grant, and in exchange, gives you a bonus feat. B:]B

    Alternative to turning undead

    I'm working on a home brew replacement of the cleric class and am looking for feedback as to powers. Of note, not all holy men will turn undead, each instead chooses a method of channeling, gained at 1st 5th, 9th, 13th, 17th level. Does this ability seem a fair exchange for turn undead, too...

    Help me develop my race's descriptive text

    Ok - here is a race from my game. I'm looking for response to the description, mostly, as I know the reaction the odd stat modifiers will have on folks. You may disagree with them, but the method of stat generation in my game eliminates the chance to abuse them (you choose race, then roll -...

    Converting Death attack into 2-3 feats

    I would like to make Death attack a feat at the end of a chain of 3 feats. Death Attack If an assassin studies his victim for 3 rounds and then makes a sneak attack with a melee weapon that successfully deals damage, the sneak attack has the additional effect of possibly either paralyzing or...

    Do these combat manuevers seem balanced?

    Please let me know what you think - I'm thinking of adding these manuevers to my game... if these things are too out of 'whack', I need to know before the players abuse them & my monsters! Brace: as a move action, gain a +4 to resist Trip, Bull Rush, and Overrun – though you suffer -4 AC to...
