I originally dictated that the fatigue lasted until the barbarian could rest (using only a move action each round) for one minute; but 1 round per round of rage sounds like a good fix too.

I had no idea of what cost it could have. I think it would make the person look metallic, and it would protect against those drains and damages. Basically you get the construct features but not the type. And it did end up being similar to iron body, but with a few differences (DR = Con being...

Really random idea just popped up (did it after working on a wp/vp thread where I ended up figuring out how powerful a fireball it would take to melt an iron door). Anyway, the item is simple: Golem Vest. This iron vest seems too heavy to wear comfortably, but upon donning it the wearer finds...

I also like the idea of vorpal increasing the critical muliplier of a weapon, but I feel that that would require one to reduce the cost of it. I'd like to have keen increase threat range by one and vorpal increase the multiplier by 1, and have them stack with improved critical. I'm not up on my...

the only way it can be fair to finesse/light warriors is if you introduce greater finesse feats that grant extra damage (I favor Int bonus as precision damage as a BAB +4 feat off of weapon finesse myself), and to have critical hits ignore armor DR. Otherwise the dagger fighter isn't going to...

I'll give that some thought. But consider the half-casters who only get 4th level spells; they don't care about their highest level spells known very much, but they do care about their DCs to some extent. Don't know which way that tips the scales ... but think on it. Yeah, feel those neurons fire.

Well, Marv is a perfect example of someone with a high charisma but who looks bad. And marv does have a very high str and a rediculously high con (probably diehard to), decent dex. But that ugly looked like a combination of a nose that was broken several too many times and some horrible scars...

I just finished the elemental spell lists, and now I need help insuring that they are balanced. Each element isn't spell for spell comparable to others; each has their own style. Currently the lists are primarily spells from the player's handbook, but several are from the XPH. I need help...

A cleric in my game with sun and healing, when compared to a standard cleric with sun and healing, looses 1 spell per day per level, looses the +1 hp of healing with each healing spell (though that's not much), and looses greater turning, but gains several more spells which they can...

I'm not sure if I like the fact that there's no way for casters to get better at casting, but I know you were doing your best to avoid making it possible for casters to make it impossible for them to fail a casting of a spell. A quick alternative I'll throw out to you, a different approach...

Add in darkvision and I think it would be fine as a LA +1 template, with no changes to the base race. I don't like the charisma penalty for elans, I think a diplomacy, bluff, and intimidate penalty vs. humanoids would be more appropriate: they aren't described as being weak willed, just odd...

While your senses are grounded in the physical health of your body, I think they are more mental than physical. But you are incredibly correct, that vision and hearing do dull with age, but I wonder how the vision and hearing of someone whose profession relies upon them ages. Remember, memmory...

I've altered my cleric for my games heavily, but not in this direction. What the druid has in special abilities, the cleric makes up for in domains. So I worked on their domains more. My cleric lost the ability to turn/rebuke undead, and lost the ability to spontaniously cast cure/inflict...

Turanil, since I've always been good at ripping off other things and making them my own, I'll suggest you do something similar to what OA's Rokugan world does. There are two casters in that setting, Shugenja (divine spellcasters who have influence over the elements) and Maho Tsuka ("arcane"...

I know what you're going through: tweeking the spell system to fit your vision can be difficult. I've been working on mine for 3 years now and have only recently managed to come up with something that's testable. I do like your separations, but I would like to ask why you haven't considered...
