ForgedAnvil, Wonderful tool! Any chance you might be able to put in the optional equipment from the DMG, specifically the "advanced" weapons (p.268). Or is there a way to add custom weapons and/or rename weapons if a character is using a Katana instead of a longsword (even if the stats are the...

humans and stat buy It seems to me that the humans, while flexible, kind of get screwed with the point buy system. They are a minimum of 2 points less (9%) than the other races and could be as much as 7 point behind (31%) though with some builds that I've been playing with typically 4 points...

maybe hide is not the right word I think it would help to not get hung up on the word 'hide.' What is happening is that you are distracting the opponent and getting the benefits that you would get if you were hidden for a moment. Thus you could, while he's looking the other way, move to...

Also, should you try to come up with a house rule, someone (don't remember who at the moment) was postulating using the immortals revised CR system to modify the transform costs so that you do get "full" changes with the transform, but more balanced from a cost stand point.

You do get the bonuses to reach, size, attack, AC that size change offers, just not the stat modifiers. If you allow for that stat modifiers to adjust, then transform easily trumps infuse for buming up stats (Strength in particular).

RW indicated that that is a typo. Use Infuse X to change Str and Abjure Nature for natural armor. Should show up in the errata at some point.

Also, some spells have been done on the Arcane Arcade wiki site. http://www.arcanearcade.com/wiki/index.php/HighArcana/HighArcana

I'd be happy to help out should you wish. astriemer at hotmail dot com

Another thing to consider is, would forcing the caster make a concentration check really make that much of a difference. Many casters max out (or nearly so) their concentration checks just so they can get the spells off in combat in general. Take a 5th level caster casting a 5 MP spell. Your...

The option that your spellcasting check sets the DC is probably the best solution so far (like 3e psionic combat). Roll d20 and add your skill ranks for the DC. Another option though would be that you don't have to make a success check if the spell level is less than your character level. Thus...

I would think that this wouldn't prevent the problem as the strings would move out of the way as they are functionally fluid in their environment. If you get too technical, there are solid bacteria (not only solid, but living too) floating all around and teleport wouldn't work ever. 'course you...

I like the cheap version, though it just protects against teleportation, and d-minky was concerned with scry as well. You're right that it probably would start to get cheaper to shell out the big bucks once you've got a log of areas that need protecting. So the more paranoid builders will get...

As PS mentioned, the problem within the dungeon could be ameliorated with requireing survival checks to determine distance and direction. With Move Space being available at such a low level the economics of defense changes for that world. Anti-teleport zone magic items (Dispel Magic v. Move...

I also am in favor of using Transform for shape altering and full transformation and using the other spell lists for partial transform effects. I also like the cleanness of using the UK-CR to avoid having to guess what a creature's CR is for Creature Form (formerly Strong Creature) or when...

Okay, lets say that Infuse Good lets you acquire feats that require the sanctioning of good higher powers and similarly for Infuse Evil I would think that for some feats it would be pretty grey and thus there could be overlapping, weapon focus for example could use Infuse Earth for use with a...
