Have you by chance tried OpenRPG: Online Virtual Tabletop ?
It's written in python, instead of java, and in my experience python is very dependable when it comes to the networking.
Flaws and traits are from Unearthed Arcana.
Fortunately, UA is Open Game License, so you can read it all on the SRD:

Hrmmm... 4th level IIRC, like palys, except unless you get bonus spells from wis you can't cast until 6th. Although a ranger can make a super effective healer early on with just wands, thanks to just having a spell list with healing!
I have never played a class with d12 hit die before. I...
Rangers do get healing, but not much and not for a while. Just a heads up; since we have an arcane caster I'm switching over to pure melee (Warblade), so that someone in the party can tank a few :)
I would definitely be interested to know how this pans out, what sort of concerns come up and such. What you would do differently next time.
This is where my idea started, with old-school multiclass XP splitting. I wonder if it would work the same in 3.5, with every character needing the...
I'm playing a Duskblade: Ruasar :: (Read-Only) - Myth-Weavers
I can fill either the spellcaster or melee role, as need be. I can also easily re-roll as someone/something else if party balance needs it (and not be bothered by it; I love love love making characters).
7-8pm central is good for...
So, I just stumbled across this homebrew and remembered this thread. You might want to check this one out:
The Beastmaster (3.5 Base Class. PEACH!) - Giant in the Playground Forums
They took the Beastmaster from CoAdv and turned it into a base class with cool abilities. Might be worth some...
Wow! Thanks for this partial Gestalt idea. I love it, and it's pretty much the exact concept I was looking for, only more polished.
Good looking out guys! :o
If you're going the route of files, I would suggest looking at some modding community guides for Neverwinter Night 2DA files. (You don't need to know the game)
The idea is: Each 2DA file is basically a glorified spreadsheet text file. Each entry is its own line, each entry has multiple fields...
This is something I have been swatting around in my head for a while, and I wanted to see what you, the illustrious intelligent people of EN, thought of it.
I got this idea from the AD&D multi-classing system. Basically, when you make your character, you make a choice: you can play a character...
Well, in terms of official PrCs, have you considered the Beastmaster from Complete Adventurer? Extra animal companions is almost as good as a more powerful one, plus you get wild empathy, and Speak With Animals as a spell-like.
If you're going to homebrew, here are some ideas:
An aura like a...
This is a pretty cool idea. I'm not a big fan of 4e (more of an anti-fan) but I always appreciate fan contributions to any arena.
A suggestion for the feats/equipment: if you had a list of all the possible choices for a character, that would be a lot to enter and then you'd have to keep up...
Character PMed away!
By the way, if anyone here is as awful at working out point buy in their heads as I am, might I recommend this little gem:
Point Buy Calculator for D&D 3e | hack/
Just make sure the number in the "points" box is 28 and then add in the racial adjustments and you're golden!
A few questions about character building: besides psionics, is there any source material that you're not keen on us using?
Where do you stand on enforcing multiclassing XP penalties? (I always ask this for a new campaign, because it seems like there's always a 50% chance of it going either...
