As with everything, CR is mostly a educated guess. As such some either end up to high, or to low. In this case yes the ant is not tough enough to warant a CR of 1. As Delta said its a more a 1/3 CR to 1/2 then 1. But remember its the player group that really makes wether a creature is as much a...

Very nice :D Need some time to do some number crunching to see it anything is either under or over powered, but nothing jumps out at the moment. One questions; Can a Puppet Master repair a puppet manual? Could I also suggest some options that allows the puppets more hit points. Such as a...

The thing about Paladins is that their "Code of Conduct" means nothing if the player and GM don't talk about what it means exactly, and determine at least a base line of what actions the Paladin can preform in general without falling. As a player I've always talked with the GM, and players...

Except that Revenance is also a Cleric spell(As well as Bard and Blackguard in addition to Paladin) so any Cleric can scribe a scroll of it. Or being that it is a 4th level Cleric spell could even make a wand of it, thus allowing the Cleric, Paladin, Bard, or anyone with a decent UMD bonus can...

Second that. Been using this as a house rule for awhile and for the Rangers at least it works fine. Can't comment on Paladins my players are to chaotic to ever play one.

I think +2 would work better. As it stands any E6 character that takes the Leadership feat is going to have a max level cohort, barring any negative modifiers that reduce their Leadership score to less then 6. So the only real point in taking it will be either: A: Counter some or all of the...

Kunimatyu I like it, it is very simple and I think more balanced then the ones from CA. The only thing I would consider changing is allowing any metamagic feats to count toward the number required not just sudden ones. Rycanada, just want to say this is a looks like a great system.

Unless someone posts a good houserule I think the best option would be to use your simplified version, remember though the +1 to attacks is only vs. creatures small then their mount that are on foot. Because by the RAW: A: If they are not riding warhorses or similiar combat trained creatures...

As Quartz said it would be best to have a limit to the number of extra feats characters could aquire. Maybe limited them to 1 extra feat per 2 characters levels to start with. This way the characters would remain closer in "relative" power to each other at a given level for those that chose to...

As the spells states ; "An awakened animal can’t serve as an animal companion, familiar, or special mount." And in the Familiar section of the PHB it states ; "Only a normal, unmodified animal may become a familiar." So even if you could cast it on a familiar(which you can't since it's a...

I changed the spell so it works one of two ways: 1st version: Pearl becomes a Focus, but spell can only be cast 1/day. 2nd version: Pearl stays a a component, but change Targets: One Touched Object to Targets: One Touched Object per level(Maximum 10 touched objects).

Any race with bonuses against Goblins will never get my vote.

Not many people actually use the right word when discussing this topic.

The Errata for Natural Bond limits it to one animal companion.

In Complete Adventurer they list that you can use Decipher Script to create a private Cipher, along with the rule for how it works.
