Rather than just tack on an arbirary +15 ECL, I would be more inclined to give a ECL of +3 for each level of Paragon taken. This is just off the top of my head, and could probably use some adjustment, but it could work. Belgarath the Ancient One

At first level, I can see this as the feat that everyone might take, as an additional 1d4 to every attack seems rather appealing. But I think it balances itself out, because of what you end up giving up for it. Example: A first level Human fighter could take this feat 3 times, and get an...

Very Nice! Very nice pictures! I used to think that taking these kind of pictures was easy until I had a camera! But again, very nice, and keep it up! Belgarath the Ancient One

Well, I have recently found myself without a group, so I would like to find one! Mature players, and only Friday or Saturday Evenings. D&D 3rd ed, prefer Forgotten Realms, but I am open. E-mail me: brian@intela.net Also I have access to some playtest material for a 3rd party that I could...

I did orignally look at weight, but that number by itself varies by too much to be used, and I was really trying to avoid some formula to convert weapon weight into speed factor, and I also didn't want to come up with a new stat for every weapon like 2nd edition. I think STR is already...

Re: Re: Max Dex bonus to initiative idea Isn't this pretty much back to my original suggestion, except that the bonus\penalty is based on relative weapon size rather than actual weapon size? I do like that modification, though I would make it +2/-2 for each step. Then your first suggestion...

Interesting. I am not sure that it fits all situations. What about two opponants medium size using small weapons? They both can't get a drop on, can they? And with multiple opponants, I could see it getting out of hand. "I have a small weapon, so I can go first!" "But I have a tiny weapon...

I am sure this has been brought up in the past, but has anyone come-up with a viable system of re-adding weapon speed as a factor in initiative? It always frustrates me when a lumbering Ogre can move 30 feet and swing a great axe faster than my rogue can toss a throwing dagger. I know that in...

I like both of these feats. As far as initiative only mattering in the first round, using this you could move yourself around to be able to make two actions in a row against an opponant before they can react to you. Could be very handy... Belgarath the Ancient One

I am toying with a system that uses the spellcraft skill to determine number of spells you can cast per day, rather than some arbitrary table. Also, it allows for spell DC checks once you have exceeded that number. Here are the basics: You can cast a number of spells per day where the total...

Combat Spell Feat Description Combat Spell Feat Description: Combat Spell feat [General] Benefit: The Combat Spell feat allows a character to cast a particular type of spell in combat as if that character were using a weapon. This means that only AC and any resistance to the spell type...

I have developed a variant spellcasting system that I would love to get some feedback on. I will give you gist of it below, and you can find the rest following the link in my sig. Basically, spells are divided up along the lines of what ability score they are based on, so there are INT spells...

I know with my group an Evards Tenticle (sp?) is usually make the first save or you're out of luck! Belgarath the Ancient One Griffon Press - Prepare to expore the depths of Strata...

OK, at my last game session, my DM tried to tell me that when using a ranged touch attack spell on an enemy in melee combat, that there was a -4 penalty, similar to firing a bow at a target in melee combat. Well, it turned out that it didn't matter, since I hit either way. But later on I could...

Is there a way that I would know if it is a playtest copy? I don't remember any markings indicating it as such... Belgarath the Ancient One

Well, for the most part is is playable, and besides the fact that I didn't buy it, it was just given to me, I have had it for over a year, so I doubt I can take it back. As far as who would collect this, it seems like just about anything is "collectable" these days, so I was just curious...

Greetings - This has been bugging me for a while now. I have a 3rd Edition Players Handbook that is an obvious bad print. The first few chapters start out as Players handbook chapters, and then change to DMG chapters. Only the first 2-3 chapters (it's not in front of me right now). It is...
