What game changing effects would making Natural Armor a character statistic have? Specifically, this would change itmes that give a natural armor bonus to AC into items that give an enhancement bonus to natural armor. I would also think about allowing characters to spend their 4th level...

Cover? Ok, because of this thread, I started re-reading the PHB section on characters providing cover. This is what I found on PHB 133 (Striking the Cover...) This has lead me to a bunch of questions that I'm not sure about: 1) Does this mean that an 18 Dex fighter doesn't offer any...

Have you thought about dropping the Ranger's BAB down to Rogue level and then giving him an extra Favored enemy at level 20? That would leave him almost directly in the middle between Fighters and Rogues. IMO a good thing, and what a Ranger should be, a wilderness Rogue.

The thing that makes their ECL so high is that Natural Armor of theirs. Giving the character a +5 for free is pretty stout, especially in the lv<=15 range. However, I do think that the +4 is a bit much, a +3 is about right, with the +4 reserved for 1/2 dragons (+4 NA, and +8 to Str OMG!).

By CRGreathouse: Here's how I calculate normally using the doubling formula. Original CR = 1 #critters = EL 1 = 1 2 = 3 4 = 5 8 = 6 16 = 7 I've found that after about 4-6 critters, adding more of them doesn't really affect the number that a character will have on him, just how long they...

So you basically had 12 gnolls, 1 ogre, and a level 6 fighter that the PC's were supposed to interact with. 12 gnolls = EL 7 or so 1 Ogre = CR2 1 Level 6 fighter = CR 6 Ok, using the EL suggestions from the DMG, a CR7 and a CR6 together should be an EL 8. Adding in the CR2 to that shouldn't...

Nope, being flat-footed has no bearing on sneak attacks, except that a character is normally deprived of their Dex mod to AC. From PHB 47: "any time the rogue's target would be deprived his Dexterity bonus to AC... or when the rogue flanks the target" Sorry, no mention of being flat-footed in...

but it can go into a dorje. Sorry, I forgot about the spell level limit on wands.

Rokugan, by AEG, has a point based honor system. However, I doubt that you want to spend $30 just for that 1/2 page. Basically, they have a honor rating that goes 0-5, with 0 being reserved for creatures that can never have honor. Most characters start out at honor 1. Each point of honor is...

Spell level X caster level X 750. Spell Level for Empowered MM is 3, caster level is 9, so price is 20,250 gp. Spell Level for Maximized Empowered MM is 6, caster level is 11, so price is 49,500 gp. In all cases, the minimum caster level is the level necessary to cast a spell of that level...

With Cleave, you get to make a second attack roll against a different opponent using the same attack. Its the same attack because it specifically states that all modifiers from the original attack still apply. IMO, this means that it falls under the same category as Shurikens or emergy missle...

CRGreathouse: He's getting 16 skill points and 4 class skills (if he maxxes them out) for the cost a 1d6 sneak attack and a +2 to relfex.

Of course it is. Any class that you are specifically designing to take only for 1 level is inherently unbalanced. If you are designing a class fromt the ground up, then it should perfectly fit your character concept, and you shouldn't need any multiclassing. Doing it this way just makes you a...

Morrus: I second that. "Real World Elves" :eek:

No, first of all, you aren't doing anything that provokes an AoO, that I can see. Secondly, the gaurd is still flat-footed, and therefore can't make AoO's unless he has the Combat Reflexes Feat. ------------ CRGreathouse: I agree that multiple attacks will allow a rogue to make multiple sneak...

Ok, correct me if I have this wrong. BAB= +0 /level Saves = +0/level Skills: As Rogue, + Knowledge (any), and 12 SP/level Rogue Special Abilities: No sneak attack, No rogue SA except Skill Mastery, Improved Evasion?, Slippery Mind, and extra feat. It looks like it could be a fun character to...

I think this would fall under the shuriken ruling. You are making one attack that simply has multiple attack rolls. If that is the case, then you only get sneak attack damage on the first attack roll. However, I'm not sure about the WWA. On second thought, if cleave can trigger off of a WWA...

I think I had heard on the WotC Psionics board that the book was entering its second printing now. But that doesn't mean you'll be able to find one of the second prints for a couple of months.

Sorry, I wasn't responding to your post, I was simply posting the ommitted part of Xan's quote. I agree that having that feature would make the feat very powerful, but having 5 feats as a pre-req generally means that a feat is gonna kick some rear. That's one more feat than WWA. As to whether...

In general, the activation time of a magic item and the casting time of the spell are the same. Therefore, using a wand of Identify really sucks. But, to the question, sticking a Heal spell in the ring can be a huge life-saver quite often. However, since you probably won't be far from the...
