As long as we are speculating on the new classes, I’d like to toss in a “W”: the Witch-Doctor. A long time ago (1e MM), nonhuman races had tribal subleader types who were either shamans or witch-doctors. The former had cleric spells and the latter had a mix of wizard and cleric...

Since you are giving the points for role-play, you might consider working out a method to spend the points on role-play. Instead of giving mechanical benefits, let the players help write the story. Let them buy small additions to a scene, create relationships with NPCs, add flavor...

Thanks

Some general comments: Equality: When I run the numbers, the apprentice still wins. Arcane training equals the warrior’s entire level bonus, which leaves the Int modifiers and a +1 for level for the apprentice. My take is the apprentice will still be up by +3-4 when the smoke clears...

Spell Mobility: Good point. Thanks for the answer. :) Staff Sweep: It took me awhile to find the Constitution reference—it’s in the Weapon Group table, PH p77. Aha. Staff wizards turned up under “Implement Mastery”, the staff of defense option PH p 77. OK. I see where this is coming...

The OP configuration is not what I’m looking for in a feat of this type. First, I support the player’s ability to select a signature spell at any time during an adventuring career. {Players are not always ready to choose a signature effect at 1st level -- especially new players -- and I...

Link is dead -- has this been moved?

Found this a bit late, but thought I would add 2 cents. I like the concept fine, and it does fill a niche. That said, I also agree with Perko: 1[W] seems too much for an at-will power with the given effect, though at this time it seems about right to me for an Encounter power...

Hi, finally got over here. Risi: Might be useful to see a write-up of these as a monster race, too. Weight: What you're looking for may be the square-cube law. Since you're scaling up height about 1.5 * human normal, this would scale your weight up about 3.4 * human normal (that is, 1.5 * 1.5...

Just another quick update or two: 1. Stumbled across Knaack's Reaver's of the Blood Sea, another minotaur book (Chaos Wars #4). Currently reviewing this and Kaz. 2. The name "Asterion" has been used in several fictional treatments of the Theseus story as the name of the original...

Looks OK to me.

Hi, back again! Spell Mobility: Why did you choose Wisdom for this instead of Intelligence? :confused: Staff Sweep: Why does Constitution drive this? Why is the attribute requirement so high? Why don’t you require staff proficiency? :confused::confused: I would probably...

darkrose50: Great post. Here goes: Note: One may upgrade a magical item by paying the difference in values between the levels. I like this all right, provided it requires an appropriate ritual and access to a crafter with the ability to create items at the target level (or, as you noted below...

Interesting thread. I’d like to throw out a discussion kernel and see where it goes. THOUGHT I: Perhaps a universal system based on gold/XP is not the way to go, given what Paul Strack said. The traditional complicating factor, even when 1 gp equalled 1 XP, was that the problem...

Thanks very much for taking the time to write a detailed reply. Your post cleared up a number of things for me. Scalable: Fair enough. Of course restraint is an effect, I did catch that. Can’t wait to see your treatment of higher level hazards, too. (Upper tier razorvine variations...

Quick passing note: There are already suggested feats that allow damage substitution and damage keyword changes. IMO it's safer to assume that eventually any damage spell might be able to deliver acid damage.

Side Note: BTW, the best Al-Mi’raj encounter I’ve heard of was a tiny Wild Hunt in which they were mounts for Grigs. Level 1 Monster Suggestions: Jermlaine (no Underdark is complete without them) Bookworm (more of a trap than a monster, per se) Bat, carnivorous, swarm +...

Nice idea. I have a few suggestions for consideration, mostly based around player decisions and consequences: 1. Consider making razorvine a scalable hazard, with Heroic, Paragon, and Epic versions (Lesser, Normal, Dire?). 2. Consider a slight concept change: The razorvine doesn't actually...

Armadillo: I could see making Warrior Surge a racial trait. I would suggest replacing the Bonus Encounter Power with the surge in this case. Good point, all non-minion orcs in the MM have the surge, so this makes a lot of sense to me. I consider Group Tenacity possibly the weakest of the racial...

Claw feats: Like them all! Naming (Hereditary Senses): I’’ll think about it... Naming Minotaurs: While I like your list generally, it’s for a homebrew campaign. I thought it might be fun to put together a more generic version, based on the literature. I’ve been unable to turn up...
