One thing that I noticed from your list of ideas is that some are mechanically described while others are roleplaying based - Leadership vs Weapon Focus. If you want the system to be viable (and fair) then you should stick to either mechanical or roleplaying. Secondly, why go through this at...

I must have missed the text somewhere in the PHB ... however nowhere does it say that a Paladin does not know what Detect Evil does. A Paladin would use the concentration options to ensure the evil he is detecting isn't just an alignment trend as opposed to a dedicated evil Cleric of Hextor...

Well our first is due in January but of unknown sex. We have names already, however. My wife games, but every time I joked around with names like Gandalf, Aragorn, etc she would stand resolute and steadfast against it. I then tried to get Samiel through (as one of the forms of Samuel) and she...

Instead of a single creature I took some little-used ones and made them into an undead team for a crazy sewer living cleric: Ghouled Rust Monster Mummified Otyugh Zombie Rats If I remember correctl I advanced the Rust Monster a little and it was a devestating creature. It had all the...

If you really want/need to limit choices you can do the following: Core Books (PHB2/DMG2 I think are considered Core nowadays by some). The appropriate class/race book for your character. The appropriate environment book for your character. This will usually being the total of books per player...

Got a reply from Customer Service regarding the critical thing and they state that it is in fact a replacement weapon damage thus can be multiplied. I am now going to put in a house rule regarding this since it is definately way too much.

You could make the weapon a Legacy Weapon. This would require that you give it a history, who owned it previously, and so forth. Not too sure about what it would be capable of (no books about etc) however I'm thinking along the lines of the penalised attribute(s) would be Wisdom and Charisma...

Actually I was just looking over Complete Arcane for a concept I was thinking of - a Wizard who immobilises his targets instead of trying to kill them and I found Bands of Steel. Reflex save or not the target is Entangled at the very least requiring a Strength check or Escape Artist to get out...

@Phlebas: Oh right ... Option 1 - CR etc based on party with missing player's character included. Option 2 - missing player's character isn't counted since they don't participate. Option 3 - as option 2. The reason is that the character doesn't actually participate and the player is just...

That is why we have the choice ... if you think it is unfair then take options 2 or 3 :) XP for option 3 is based on % participation. Thus if you choose 75% damage you get 75% XP. Of course you have to take into account that you also use a % of your resources as well. This is handled thus: A...

Phlebas\ Funny you should ask that ... 3 sessions ago my wife had to go to bed early (we're expecting and she gets really tired nowadays) and she left her Fighter in my care. Unfortunately the rest of the party wasn't working as well together as they should in a climatic encounter and so my...

IMC we use options (player selected). 1) you allow others to play your character and take the consequences of death etc. (100% XP) or 2) you sit on the sidelines and get nothing for your time (0 XP) or 3) you can take X% of XP but also start the next session with X% of your hit points...

This comment about Crusaders and "endless" maneuvers is incorrect. A common misreading of the Crusader's recovery rules that I've seen on different boards. I think this is indicative of one of the problems with people trying to compare classes and prove that their favourite is broken or the...

And that is what I originally said. CustServ state Stanard action with a house ruling to make it full round.

Just a mention on the whole Warblade recovery thing. I decided to contact WOTC customer service and they have confirmed that the melee attack is intended to be a Standard Action.

Text in question The use of the wording here is pretty obvious and explicit. If you break down the sentence at the "," and conjunctions ... You recover all expended maneuvers with a single swift action followed in the same round by a) a melee attack OR b) a standard action For these...

I stated attack once only because the Warblade text states "a melee attack". It does not allow for multiple melee attacks, only one, otherwise it would have stated as much. A melee attack does not equal a full attack action. As to strength of combat, the Fighter's complete access to Feats...

My wife is currently playing a Warblade 11 and to be honest the experience of the party is that it is not overpowered compared to a Fighter or any other class unless you go out to make it so. She has built a decent tool-box style fighter. She adapts to the situation using a combination of...

I've done what you are wanting to do and I've explored all the avenues that have been mentioned here. Granted I do this for a living, however some points for you to consider: Where Are You Hosting It? You need to consider where you are hosting your website etc. Do they support ASP, PHP, Java...
