    Giant Ant Worker, CR 1??

    As with everything, CR is mostly a educated guess. As such some either end up to high, or to low. In this case yes the ant is not tough enough to warant a CR of 1. As Delta said its a more a 1/3 CR to 1/2 then 1. But remember its the player group that really makes wether a creature is as much a...

    Puppet Master

    Very nice :D Need some time to do some number crunching to see it anything is either under or over powered, but nothing jumps out at the moment. One questions; Can a Puppet Master repair a puppet manual? Could I also suggest some options that allows the puppets more hit points. Such as a...

    Anyone had a paladin Fall and then dropped the PC?

    The thing about Paladins is that their "Code of Conduct" means nothing if the player and GM don't talk about what it means exactly, and determine at least a base line of what actions the Paladin can preform in general without falling. As a player I've always talked with the GM, and players...

    Revenance + Revivify

    Except that Revenance is also a Cleric spell(As well as Bard and Blackguard in addition to Paladin) so any Cleric can scribe a scroll of it. Or being that it is a 4th level Cleric spell could even make a wand of it, thus allowing the Cleric, Paladin, Bard, or anyone with a decent UMD bonus can...

    Changing spellcasting levels for Paladins, Rangers, etc.

    Second that. Been using this as a house rule for awhile and for the Rangers at least it works fine. Can't comment on Paladins my players are to chaotic to ever play one.

    New feats (considered for E6)

    I think +2 would work better. As it stands any E6 character that takes the Leadership feat is going to have a max level cohort, barring any negative modifiers that reduce their Leadership score to less then 6. So the only real point in taking it will be either: A: Counter some or all of the...

    New feats (considered for E6)

    Kunimatyu I like it, it is very simple and I think more balanced then the ones from CA. The only thing I would consider changing is allowing any metamagic feats to count toward the number required not just sudden ones. Rycanada, just want to say this is a looks like a great system.

    Simplified mounted combat rules

    Unless someone posts a good houserule I think the best option would be to use your simplified version, remember though the +1 to attacks is only vs. creatures small then their mount that are on foot. Because by the RAW: A: If they are not riding warhorses or similiar combat trained creatures...

    Buying Feats with XP

    As Quartz said it would be best to have a limit to the number of extra feats characters could aquire. Maybe limited them to 1 extra feat per 2 characters levels to start with. This way the characters would remain closer in "relative" power to each other at a given level for those that chose to...

    Awakening a familiar

    As the spells states ; "An awakened animal can’t serve as an animal companion, familiar, or special mount." And in the Familiar section of the PHB it states ; "Only a normal, unmodified animal may become a familiar." So even if you could cast it on a familiar(which you can't since it's a...

    D&D 3E/3.5 3.5 Identify vs other editions

    I changed the spell so it works one of two ways: 1st version: Pearl becomes a Focus, but spell can only be cast 1/day. 2nd version: Pearl stays a a component, but change Targets: One Touched Object to Targets: One Touched Object per level(Maximum 10 touched objects).

    Elves or Dwarves?

    Any race with bonuses against Goblins will never get my vote.

    Unusual Weres

    Not many people actually use the right word when discussing this topic.

    Beastmaster with Natural Bond

    The Errata for Natural Bond limits it to one animal companion.

    Learning Druidic

    In Complete Adventurer they list that you can use Decipher Script to create a private Cipher, along with the rule for how it works.

    Recovering XP, GP

    I think what the Op means is that once all the item creation, spell scribing, supply restocking is done instead of looking for a new adventure the PC's decide to use their Craft/Profession/Preform/etc. skills to earn some money doing 9-5 work to cover the above costs.

    Do you fudge?

    The only time I fudge is to keep the encounter fun/intresting for the PC's. If that means letting the monster score a hit or two so be it. If that means turning the 3 crits I just rolled on the wizard PC into a crit and 2 normal hits so he has a chance of living so be it. If it means changing...

    Long live the vampires - OR - Why does Turning have to exist?

    Thats more of the everyone in this class is the same regardless of race, enviroment, society, or up bringing, until you gain levels in the Prestige class, that allows you to play the type of character you wanted to play from the start. As for Turning, the biggest flaw(beyond that it becomes...

    Where does giant equipment come from?

    There are tons of different answers, each with a different impact on your gaming world. The "right" answer is the one you decide is how it is in your gaming world.

    What (PHB) Spells have you banned/altered?

    There are very few spells I have banned, out of all the spells in the PHB, CA, SC, LM i have only banned 4 spells. Of the others that I didn't like I made some adjustments to, with most of them being simple adjustments. The Jump spell is as it is because being required to make a Jump skill...
