if you want to go Ranger, I feel I must point out the ToB version of it then! it's not mine, I got it from WotC forums. enjoy. =A=

I'd have prefered not to pollute this thread but, for some reason, you have to pay to PM... really, if I trouble myself to write [ size=1 ][ color=grey ]quote [ b ]'some poster'[ /b ]:[ /color ] some text of his post[ /size ] you can suppose I know BBCode fairly well and decided not to use [...

quote Flatus Maximus: Asurya: Good idea with the spell cost. It makes sense that higher level spells should be worth more than lower level spells. Glad you like it :D quote Flatus Maximus: And I've also been thinking that the cost for a non-core feat should be lowered, though 0 or 1 sounds too...

Considering that (nearly) every cheese combo pulled out of splats are base on spells (how surprising!), I would rate out-of-core spell more like 5 a piece or 2*${spell_rank}; Granted -like Nifft said- that you will have to face cheese in core only spells... feat more like 1 (or 0), I mean why...

From the OP, one could understand it's a brand new concept... except it's so "old", it already is under OGL : http://www.d20srd.org/srd/variant/magic/spontaneousMetamagic.htm#extraSpellSlots I wonder how it could have escaped everyone's notice so far. with what Khuxan just said, it appears this...

@maldor: and for some damn good reasons! it's all written in the various E6 topics but just some quick thoughts: - from 4th spell rank on, only magic can oppose magic (and a bunch of player don't like to sit on there hand while the shiny Wizard (or Cleric or Druid, or Sorcerer -to a lesser...

my own houserules get rid of the cross skills altogether too, therefore not "forcing" skill-happy player to begin with Rog1. On top of that I cooked up an open ended progression where excellence comes at a price: each rank costs you its value in skill points (i.e. 1 rank is 1 SP, improving it...

quote: CleverNickName: Sweet mother of all that is good and pure... my thoughts exactly when I first saw E6 rules. For what it's worth, I run an E6 game with all sort of splats allowed and it is nice and all.

If I had to make such a thing, I would definitely go the [essence] invocation route too. Considering that all the arguing about unlimited out-of-combat healing is kinda moot since the CC came out (with the healing [reserve] feat), I think it's safe to use.

quote Nytmare: This is straight guesswork on my part since I've never actually played with 3rd Ed psionics, and I only have the Psionincs Handbook, but my gut feeling is that they would grab one extra psionic combat mode for going straight 6 in either Psion or Psychic Warrior. but the...

I honestly confess that I don't know squat about high level balance, so I will be of no help for your Balor scenario. The various campaign I played or DMed always started low level and only one saw lvl10. I can assure you that in this "life span", your option will have a great impact (I agree...

@SKid4: In fact Lycanthromancer did what you suggest in his revised power list: he re-inserted 0th level power and manifesting them just costs you your focus. @Corvus_Obscurus: I see your problem with 'all day' use of useful low level spells, in fact ToB is mostly focused on combat so it's less...

OK 2 things: First, you should use martial classes, or initator when you talk about ToB... the other word is just... you know like these forbidden incantations: you say it something terrible happen. Second (and more constructive hopefully :p), what you are trying to acheive is good and I saw...

quote SolosAddie: if i read this correctly, the rouge doesn't have to build up five combo points to use the finishing moves. for max, benefit yes, but you can use them at lesser values. It works like that in the MMO IIRC: the 5 point cap is just that : a CAP, for balance sake. The wording of...

quote Quartz: -2/-2/-7/-7 or -2/-2/-7/-12 who would EVER choose the 2nd routine? :p SW Saga has this system (more or less), form what I heard, it works fine (although it's not really increasing penalty like 3.5 BAB but more a flat penalty to all your hits, like Manyshot feat) and they give more...
