    Not yet. I'm saving my new rules for the next campaign I'm starting, should be within 6 months or so. I'm doing a lot of changes, but rather then modify current characters in my game, I'm just waiting for fresh, 1st level characters to corrupt! :D Both the barbarian and commoner class gets...

    Healing Without a Cleric....

    What type of low magic world are you going for? My own game is low magic, so there are few classes available with healing, let alone magic items such as potions and wands. The method I use are a limited number of quasi-magic (more amazing then magic) alchemical and herbal concoctions: 30 gp...

    base attack and saves

    :eek: Well damn! I didn't get the memo. Why didn't I get the memo? :p Oh-well, just call me a late bloomer.

    base attack and saves

    Changing the basics: at each level, a PC gains a +1/2, +3/4, or +1 step for their base attack. They also gain +1/2 or +1/3 to each of their saves. At the 1st level, for each class, a class starts with 0 + the base attack for progression – but on saves start out with 2 + the base save...

    languages

    Language is a unique kind of skill and should be treated as such. Characters start with 5 LP in their native tongue, and each additional language learned (for high intelligence) gives +3 LP for languages. When buying languages, each CP gives 3 LP. Illiterate characters (1st level barbarians)...

    Alternative to the cleric

    :rolleyes: Just for my ego's sake, any comments on this class? As a divine channeler goes, he gains alternate methods of channeling at 5th, 9th, 13th, and 17. He starts out with less channeling per day then the cleric, but gains more as he goes up levels (part of this classes goal was to...

    PrC:The Kithmourn (Assassians of the Mournful Order of Kinslayers)

    Cool Class! Qwillion - cool class, I like it! I do not see a fault in mechanics, although its a little tough and some features need clarification: Just Another Face in the Crowd: unless they make a spot vs his disguise. Only when he is disguised, or all the time? Does it matter if he is...

    Alternative to the cleric

    Why an alternative cleric? Clerics can be cherry picked (2 good saves, d8 HP, and up to 2 feats included in domains, such as time and war, as well as saves and turn undead - take a feat to use it another way per cleric splat book, uses your charisma, not level, gaining cool new ability), gain...

    Alternative to the wizard and sorcerer

    Additional Paths Some more paths, but I need some limit or marking associated with these. Deimos’ Primal Path (Fear) 1 (N) Cause Fear 2 (N) Scare 4 (I) Phantasmal Killer 6 (N) Symbol of Fear 9 (I) Weird Way of the Shelter (Home) 1 (A) Hold Portal 2 (A) Arcane Lock 3 (E) Tiny Hut 4 (C) Secure...

    Alternative to the wizard and sorcerer

    Well, first of, thank you! :) Second, hmmm. :confused: Any suggestions? Giving more schools at low level encourage them to disperse their spells known to maximize effective spells known (back to wizards who all know the same 5 base spells or so). Set up pairs of schools they may learn...

    Alternative to the wizard and sorcerer

    Actually, this new core class is also for flavor. The specialist wizard and sorcerous blood do not have a real flavor of their own, and it is that combined with the desert of 6-9, 11-14, 16-19th levels that I made this class. This same view is what helped shape the classes in unearthed - to...

    Alternative to the wizard and sorcerer

    Well - I'm impatient, so instead of waiting till I had 10 paths, here are 2 to start. Haustur’s Path (Age) 0 (N) Touch of Fatigue 1 (N) Ray of Enfeeblement 3 (N) Ray of Exhaustion 4 (N) Enervation 5 (N) Waves of Fatigue 7 (N) Waves of Exhaustion Necromancy path, able to cast 3+ of the above...

    Alternative to the wizard and sorcerer

    "I would say that it's also tempting to go into a PrC from the cleric and rogue base classes as well. I think the problem is with the PrC system, however." I agree - well, the rogue is not that bad, only level 14 and 20 have nothing gained. I would say the cleric and bard, though. "Anyway, I...

    Alternative to the wizard and sorcerer

    Well, once a wizard reaches 5th level, gaining his bonus feat and 3rd level spells - what does he gain for levels 6-9 that is not gained with regular increase in spell progression gained from most spell caster prestige classes? His familiar gains Speak with animals of its kind. At 10th he gains...

    Alternative to the wizard and sorcerer

    Below is the Arcanist, an alternative per the title description. Part of the reason for the suggestion - there is little/no reason to continue as a wizard or sorcerer after 5th/6th level. Let me know what you think. Arcanist Alignment: Any. Hit Die: d4. Skill Points: (2 + Int modifier) Class...

    Am I crazy (not rhetorical)?

    In practice it doesn't slow things down much - just as most players write down the DC to their spells, so to you write down the base DC required to cast each spell level. The only modifiers would be - in/out of specialty, touching familiar, and spell focus. Well, so far in my game it hasn't...

    Why NOT to use damage resistance for armor...

    Plate mail clad hero gains 0 DR but full AC – he wades into battle expecting his armor to protect him, virtually ignoring the attacks. A hit that gets past hits a weak point, transferring the damage straight through (damn joints!) Plate mail clad hero gains # DR by blocking attacks with the...

    Am I crazy (not rhetorical)?

    Well, the DC is set so it should require a roll of 10 to succeed, assuming you have +3 due to INT and 3 ranks at 1st level, and add 1 rank each level (55% chance). Now, this does not count having your familiar on hand (+10% chance), casting spell you have spell focus with (+10%), or a spell...
