Hehe, I love OotS. Maybe he should take a prestige class from an old sourcebook instead... I had a few ideas: I have the old Songs and Silence book from 3.0, and it has a PrC called the Virtuoso which adds a few more songs to the list. I can't name them off the top of my head, but there were...

A friend of mine has been working with me to create a non-casting Bard. We wanted to make a bard that was more mystical than the fantastical effects of most casters, and to really exemplify the title "Jack of All Trades." I was hoping to get some feedback on the balance of the class (by the way...

You know, there's another corpse out there that we all know and love that she might come across... Just sayin'.

Midnight is a friend of mine, and in fact he was asking this question for me. Let me make a comparison to try and get the feel I want across: In the first Pirates of the Caribbean movie, the feel was a historical fiction with a few, light supernatural elements in it. Yes, there were zombies...

Well, mainly because I don't have that rulebook, hehe. Plus the fact that this is more of a thought experiment rather than an actual rules change that I'm planning. I mean, if it develops into a balanced system then I might, but right now I'm just trying to figure out how it would work. As for...

How about this: Strength Fast Twitch - Melee attack bonus Slow Twitch - Lifting objects, Encumberance Dexterity Agility - Dodge bonus to AC, Reflex saves, balance & tumble checks Control - Ranged attack bonus, Finessed weapon attack bonus Constitution Stamina - Determines bonus HP, resisting...

A lot of the people that I've gamed with have thought that while the game does the best it can with six stats, some of the combinations of abilities don't necessarily make sense. For example, Dexterity covers both coordination and fine motor control, and Charisma covers personality, force of...

Recently I've been going over some of my old(er) rpg books, and saw my copy of the Dark Inheritance d20 campaign setting from Mythic Dreams Studios. I started re-reading it and noticed that they planned to make it an evolving campaign setting, kind of like White Wolf did with it's Orpheus line...

Thanks for the offer, KoC. I sent you an email about it just a few minutes ago. Bront - Thanks for all the thought you've put into this. It's nice having reliable sound boards to bounce ideas off. As for your two ideas/issues: 1. The damage dice. I worked out a progression, and even at level...

I read your suggestions, and this is what I came up with: Level Special 1 Sharpen Blade, Bonus Psionic Feat 2 Sneak Attack +1d6 3 Evasion 4 Mind Blade 1d3 5 Sneak Attack +2d6 6 Uncanny Dodge 7 Free Draw 8 Mind Blade 2d3, Sneak Attack +3d6 9 Throw Mind Blade 10 Improved Uncanny Dodge...

I just skimmed through the Expanded Handbook, and now I see what you mean, Bront. I've gone through and modified the class to fit the changes I saw. If I missed something, please tell me. I didn't change what any of the abilities did (yet), so I'm leaving that part off. See above if you need to...

Thanks for all the quick replies, everyone. I looked at the SRD, and the Soulknife isn't as bad as I'd heard it was. However, it seems more combat oriented than what I'm looking for. Like I said, my inspiration for this class was 'psionic rogue.' I do have a few questions about the...

I recently got the 3e Psionics Handbook, and really liked it. The Soulknife in particular caught my eye. However, I didn't care much for the psion or the psychic warrior leading into the class, so I wanted it to be a 20 level base class. I heard that the 3.5 book did this, but it wasn't very...

Well, I am willing to go one of three ways: 1. I can change it to a weapon they have Weapon Focus with. 2. I can change it to a weapon they have Greater Weapon Focus with. 3. I can ditch that entirely, and go with something else, like giving him Improved Sunder or something. The question...

I appreciate your response, although I wish that you had been a little more civil about it. I did mention that this is the first time we've tried to develop classes, and obviously it showed. But I did say that they were rough drafts. So here's an update, to try and fix the problems you had with...
