    Thoughts on 0-level spells

    I think all classes with spell-casting ability should get 0-level spells (for the sake of consistency, if nothing else) and I think spontaneous casters should know all 0-level spells, since they only produce minor effects.

    PBP or PBEM D&D 3.5e game

    Hello. I am looking to start an online game in my world. Here is the basic information I provided to one of the players: I plan on using humans+Eberron races+planetouched at this point. I would like to move away from Tolkien so my inclination is to drop dwarves and elves, but I am still mulling...

    Divine magic & psionics only

    Has anyone run a game with divine magic/classes and psionics/psionic classes only? (I.e., no arcane magic/classes.) If so, how did it work out for you?

    UA spell points vs. XPH PP

    I realize there is a discrepancy between spell points totals and spell slots in Unearthed Arcana but what is the reasoning behind the sorcerer maxing out at 249 points when the XPH psion maxes out at 343? (Not including bonus points from ability scores, of course.)

    planetouched

    I would like tieflings to make decent sorcerers, so I was thinking of switching their charisma penalty for a wisdom penalty. Although, I'm not certain that the penalty is necessary. (I am not entirely on board with the "some ability scores are more equal than others" mentality.) I would also...

    Curtailing psionics

    Although I used to be absolutely dead set against psionics, the kalashtar and inspired from Eberron have caused me to reevaluate my stance. I am thinking of allowing them, but I would limit them to kalashtar, inspired, and appropriate aberrations (e.g., mind flayers, aboleths) and furthermore I...

    My Romanesque World

    Fusangite kindly suggested I start a thread on my world, so that is what I am doing here. I have a deep and abiding interest in the 4th century Roman Empire, which serves as the historical milieu of my game (see the link in my signature). The approach I take with my pseudo-Roman world is...

    Can you do better than "Urbanus"?

    I agree with the folks who think Urbanus is uninspired. So, I would like to be the first to take up the challenge to do better. My submission is: Polieus--guardian of the city (masculine nominative singular)

    "Prestige" paladins and rangers

    One thing I like about the prestige versions of the paladin and ranger is that they get 0-level spells, which their base counterparts do not (to my chagrin). I can't say the same for the bard PrC, though, because it allows bards to have access to spells that I don't think they should have...

    Why no 0-lvl spells for paladins and rangers?

    It doesn't make sense to me that paladins and rangers don't get 0-lvl spells like bards. Instead, the designers made several 0-lvl spells into 1st lvl paladin and ranger spells, which makes no sense.

    Life in the ghett-o

    While waiting for my condo to close (supposed to occur next Monday) I have been renting from my realtor. Unfortunately, this place is not a good area, and I will be glad to leave. Today, I was dragged into the domestic dispute of my neighbors, which had started when the guy confronted the girl...

    BOEM II and UA Battle Sorcerers

    I use Monte's variant sorcerer in BOEM II, which is slightly more generous with spells known (among other changes). I would also like to use UA's battle sorcerer, but I'm not sure whether to use the 3.5 sorcerer or Monte's sorcerer as a base for spells known. Is anyone else pondering what I am...

    Speaking of resurrection

    My "house" rule is that a miracle is required to raise the dead (with the hefty 5000 XP loss), in which case it operates as a true resurrection. If bringing someone back from the dead is not miraculous, then I don't know what is.

    How would dropping spellcasting from dragons change the CR?

    I do not like spellcasting dragons at all. I do not mind a few spell-like abilities (except polymorph), but that's it. So I am wondering how I should adjust the CR of dragons to compensate.

    How would paladin PrCs work with the paladin as a PrC?

    At first I was dead set against the paladin as a prestige class, but now I am willing to at least entertain the idea. However, I am wondering how my favorite paladin prestige classes, like the Gold Knight would work, since they presuppose a core paladin class. Has anyone else given this some...

    How many domains are too many?

    Up to four for a particular cleric/divine caster seems fine to me, but more than four seems excessive. What do you think?

    character submissions to my site

    I have a page that allows people to submit character concepts and I tend to get some really "unique" ones. Here are the latest ones. Enjoy. NAME = <redacted> email = <redacted> CNAME = Frengen NickName = Fren Class = Barbarian Social Rank = Gaurd Level = 13 Alignment = NG Race = Uthuk Subrace...

    Alternate cleric class

    For those of you who, like me, would like to see a less combat oriented cleric as an alternate class (not necessarily as a replacement) what kind of class features would you like to see?
