    The impact of allowing a full attack and a move action?

    Are you referring to the feat "Catfolk Pounce"?

    (Feedback greatly needed) Custodian of the Dodecahedron

    No interest left for the custodian? Nobody shares the vision of making the d12 a viable die for more than barbarians?

    A New Warlock Need C&C

    Of course it didn't. Nor should it. No arcane archer idea should EVER be based on the Arcane Archer prestige class any more than a samurai idea should be based on the Samurai base class! They're just good, descriptive words, not necessarily proper names (that's why I like to capitalize class...

    A New Warlock Need C&C

    Asurya, according to my copy of Complete Arcane, you can trade out a single invocation for any other of the same or lower level, every single time you choose a new invocation. That would be 11 opportunities to do so, for the original warlock. Anon, it looks to me like you're trying to create a...

    Sublime Druid - Crusader maneuvers instead of spells

    Ooooo, now I have ALWAYS been a fan of the Shapeshift druid, so this looks excellent. I like Nifft's idea of subtracting initiator levels based on which shapeshift form you are using. Heck, he pretty much hit all of the points I would want to consider for making a sublime druid myself. A few...

    Oy ve. BIG changes have occurred here! I've got a full, 20 level base class posted now. Check out post #1.

    What's a higher spell level worth?

    What would balance it would be that all specialist wizards earn the dire wrath of Pun Pun upon character creation.

    Blunt arrows against undead?

    Gah! No, no, nonono. You could attach a hippopotamus to the arrowhead and it would fall no faster. The trouble with a blunt arrowhead is that it is not sleek, and the trouble with a heavier-than-advisable arrowhead is that it takes too much force to accelerate. Your blunt head will slow your...

    (Feedback greatly needed) Custodian of the Dodecahedron

    Forget the base class idea. Adding an Elemental Blast isn't a bad idea, but it needn't be a part of a full base class, as direct damage is a generally crappy idea at higher levels (such as those after a 10-level PrC has been completed), so no need to have advancing Elemental Blast damage up to...

    (Feedback greatly needed) Custodian of the Dodecahedron

    If the Subtle Tweak only applies during the target's turn, then it wouldn't lower the target's defenses against anything except save- or check-inducing actions on the target's part. The target may be unaware of its bad luck, and be overly confident in its abilities, then fail when it attempts...

    (Feedback greatly needed) Custodian of the Dodecahedron

    I'm not confused in the slightest, actually, but maybe "enough time" is misleading? How about "some concentration" instead? The idea is, unless the custodian has a particular knack for performing a skill under pressure (like a 4th lvl warlock taking 10 on UMD) he needs to not be distracted or...

    (Feedback greatly needed) Custodian of the Dodecahedron

    Subtle Tweak is a standard action that can't be quickened, only lasts 1 round, only affects a single target, only applies during the target's turn, and is only usable a few times each day until 6th level (9th total level at the earliest). Against an enemy spellcaster, said spellcaster would...

    (Feedback greatly needed) Custodian of the Dodecahedron

    Some of you may remember the germ idea for this prestige class back in this thread, wherein Nifft actually produced a fun 5-level prestige class. Things have changes ALOT since then. The following are the Custodian envisioned as a prestige class, and as a base class, respectively: Alignment...

    Building an Archer Base Class - Thoughts

    Poor BAB and a flurry progression (assuming it starts at -2/-2 as normal for a monk) sounds like a recipe for archery disaster, unless you can come up with a GREAT way to improve hit chances. I know there's Woodland Archer, where missing a target gives a +4 bonus to subsequent attacks that...

    How many ranks?

    Actually, you have to fail UMD on a natural 1 to suffer the quoted effect. If a 1 isn't a failure for you, then you're golden.

    Full BAB Psionic Base Class: Attuned Warrior

    You could rename it "attunement", but it sounds like you just plain don't want to. I'll see what names I can think up.

    Ranger and "other" mix, which class?

    Count another suggestion for psychic warrior. Psionic Meditation and Psionic Shot at 3rd level, Fell Shot at 4th. Some of those 1st-level powers are very handy, and if she sticks around for levels, she can grab Hustle to get her all-important full attacks without having to stand still.

    Full BAB Psionic Base Class: Attuned Warrior

    Hm. You're emphasizing maintaining focus, while I'm emphasizing expending focus then providing a time-limited means to easily refocus. Your emphasis involves class features potentially layering multiple reasons for maintaining focus, while mine encourages defocusing by making the refocus...

    Full BAB Psionic Base Class: Attuned Warrior

    Alright, I've been thinking this concept over, from the fundamental level. The reason I believe there should be a class like this is because currently there is no middle ground between a non-psionic warrior and a Psychic Warrior. A Psychic Warrior has quite a decent bit of manifesting...

    Full BAB Psionic Base Class: Attuned Warrior

    Perhaps I was overzealous in limiting the class feature. Dropping the maintenance may be for the best. As for the duration, I think 3 + Wis may be good if the fatigue mechanic is dropped, as there are ways to avoid fatigue, anyway. I'm even considering dropping the Power Styles, and just...
