If you have a class bonus that is applied to one AC (DAC), armor and magic applied to the other (NAC), dex applied to both (it'd be silly otherwise)... you mention three cases: Attack < NAC: miss Attack => NAC & < DAC: subdual Attack => NAC & => DAC: normal hit. Now, is the defense AC the normal...

Noretoc: what exactly were you saying then (aside from my addition of the subdual damage bit)? Jeph: adding a class bonus to touch AC does drop their effectiveness, but only in games where magic armor and shields are easy to find. In a game where a 20th-level fighter using expertise couldn't...

There are three animal gods (Haquael the jackal, Zeilu the bear, Boza the antelope--yes, the first is random and the last two are anagrams), but they aren't really gods. That doesn't matter one bit to the characers, though, as they don't know that, and the last time one of these 'gods' tried to...

So... Normal AC: 10 + class + armor + dex + misc. Touch AC: 10 + class + dex + misc. If an attack is => Touch AC, damage dealt is subdual. Attacks dealing subdual damage are ignored. Above the If an attack is => Normal AC, damage dealt is real. Attacks dealing subdual damage act normally. I...

1. Athlons do not run hotter than P4s. They run a bit cooler, but it's mostly a null issue now, as the biggest problem when they did run hot was that very few manufacturers automatically shut the CPU off if it got too hot, and that they retail fans weren't that good. Both of those issued have...

http://www.doddstech.com/campaign.htm Note: No map and regional histories yet...the next (2nd) session may be held as early as this weekend (the first was a disaster--one small mistake dominoed, and I know now, I will not DM again w/o chinese food and good coffee!), so I'd like some feedback...

My rules That's my solution. It's had one session of playtesting, and the few noncombat skills worked fine. Based on my calculator the others do, at least to a reasonable degree. For all intents and purposes EP = HP. Having each ability as a skill is about the only way to get the players to...

-Scale the spell DC based on class or character level (or a save) rather than the level of the spell. -Check out the WoT book...nice to have quite a few spells designed to be cast at different levels. -SWd20 is kinda neat...use HP to cast and mostly feat- and skill-based. -Allow higher level...

Thanks for the replies...currently I thuink i'll be going with... >30ft range May not be used if the target has succeeded in a spot check to locate the character May only be used against flat-footed targets 5th-level: +2d6 10th: +4d6 15th: may be used against targets which are not flat-footed...

OK, I'm giving a class a bonus to damage similar to sneak attack. Hidden Shot: Hidden shot may only be used at or beyond 60ft. That i have, but I can't think of a good way to balance it and make it separate from the rogue sneak attack (the class that's getting it is tracker/hunter (or sniper...

I do think 3e is well made and nicely balanced...it's just that it works within a certain context, outside of which, it just breaks down. I redo races, and make new classes (derived from the core classes, of course), including a defense bonus (I don't like the idea of higher AC coming from items...

Conviniently C&P'd from the house rules packet I'm working on: Powers There are four basic powers that sorcery is divided into: Divination, the ability to achieve cognizance above natural boundaries; Channeling, the ability to directly use (as apposed to using as a catalyst) one’s soul to will...

Thx for the replies so far. The spell list is quite incomplete. I have not found a big master list anywhere, so I'm having to go through my PHB, WoT book, R&R, T&B, etc. and patch a list together. It will eventually be a 0-9 level list (I think...I may keep the fighting enhanced more and make a...

This is a class I am working on for my upcoming campaign, and the one custom spell for them so far. The end result will be 5 paths, BTW. I think this is a bit on the powerful side, but I can't seem to decide what to remove...so here it is: Blood Fetter Adventures: blahdy blah blah...
