Dagger, I have played with the skill changes above and allowing the sorc to chose any cleric, wizard, or druid spell (Bard, paladin and ranger have problems). It was balanced for my group at the time.

This class has the same problem that many other PRCs have. Both paladin and cleric can qualify for it. For a paladin, this class would be weak. It might require full spellcasting progression to balance. For any class with full spellcasting (ex cleric) this class is too good. Also, I don't...

As the rules are written, manyshot can be used with shot on the run. If you can keep your distance and use cover well, you force others to only fight with readied actions (which can cut their power a lot).

The feats look a little strong because multiple instances of the feats stack, and there is no save for either. The feats can devestate opponents, especially spellcasters (they could actually be paralyzed by STR loss and the loss of spell slots hurts). I might allow either with a fortitude save...

Catmen 2 Str, -2 Int Alertness as bonus feat. Low light vision. Claws: The catmen can deal lethal slashing damage with an unarmed strike instead of subdual and do not provoke an AoO with an unarmed attack. LA: +0 I like +0 races and perfer not to use ECL. If you want a more powerful Catmen...

Every year at midwinter there is a meteor shower. The main form of astrology is the interpretation of the paths of meteors. In Eyrian astrology the important factor is the location rather than the date of birth, as a reading of the sky visable from that spot will tell the fortunes of the...

If you leave someone in a hogtie, they will suffocate. The posture makes breathing difficult and eventually impossible. You can run a thong behind someone's Achilles tendon. Doing so is an effective way of restraining them, but does not lead to permanent damage (barring infection). Storms...

150 years ago there was a war of anihilation between Orcs and Humans. A huge proportion of both populations were killed. A truce was brokered by Agathon of the Crimson robe. As a half orc, he was the only one who could deal with both sides. He became the first king. Since then only half...

All of those examples seem bad until you remember. Touch attacks as a rule always hit. Your cleric won't miss his inflict spells. Your druid won't miss with his flame blade (except once or twice on iterative attacks). Wild shape isn't a problem as animals have great Str scores. Their...

Sonic Damage. All other magic makes sense in the fantasy paradigm, sonic just seems to only fit in Sci-Fi (if at all). The five main types of damage are fire, elecrticity, acid, cold, and sonic. Sonic just dosn't belong. For starters it does not come up often even in the modern world (and...

The system actually requires that they be high level because of max skill ranks. A powerful noble may have to be good at politicing (diplomacy), seeing through others (sense motive), and subterfuge (bluff). Yes, they could just hve the title and be incompetant but that rarely fits in with what...

What qualifies as a class feature is too vague. In addition, not all class features are equal. Also, the class is too good unless I am somehow misreading the abilities. I chose the following 10 class features. Wild Shape (druid) Sneak Attack (rogue) Cleric Spells Druid Spells Sorcerer Spells...

Use a sting to get the PCs trapped. Have them be summoned by the local lord to his castle. When they get to the front gate, they are greeted by his steward. The steward calls for the gates to be opened and the PCs walk in. When the PCs enter the gatehouse, the portculli in front of them and...

The reason I suggested that it take extra time to load is for balancing purposes. The cost, after second or third level of non-magical equipment does not really qualify as a balancing facter because of the much greater cost of magical equipment. Anyhow it emphasizes something important about...
