I have a campaign world that represents years of thought and tweaking of the rules. I change it as time goes on in-game, but overall I think that the characters adapt and explore. Their actions can have a definite impact on things, but I do not change stuff to suit them. This probably stems from...

Yes, vitality would fuel spells. This would make close combat incredibly dangerous for casters... I think that magical healing would have to go. After all, characters heal 1 vitality point per level per hour. It is the Wound points that would require something more. It is true that fighters...

Cabral: Yes, I did the same thing. It is actually 492 for the Sorcerer. I do not necessarily endorse the idea of full spell points (you need to pay for the versatility after all), but a change should be made. I mean, only 17 more points than the wizard??!! That is ridiculous. I actually plotted...

The spell point system has some serious problems, in my opinion. I love the basic idea behind the system though. You should consider doing several things: Completely redo the points given. The Sorcerer gets a shaft the size of the Empire State Building by that chart. Also, you will run into...

Last night a friend and I stayed up talking in the bitter cold parking lot of our local gaming shop talking about D&D and what we might alter. The central theme revolved around the idea that fighters fighting, wizards casting, and rogues roguing never, ever seemed to wear anyone out. They could...

wuyanei: Now THAT is a sorcerer! Very well done! In my own campaign, I have been trying to alter the sorc. I also gave bonus feats as wizard and tossed around the idea of giving bonus spells at each odd level as you did. The ability to select from all lists is really cool and something that I...

I cannot imagine improving the epic system as written. It is ridiculous, in my opinion, and needs to be stored in an underground vault and never let out again. What I WOULD like to see is a project that advances the classes to higher levels. Maybe 40th, maybe 100th.... Nyaricus's 100% idea...

I agree with you. The sorcerer as a class needs all manner of work to become what is, in my opinion, a class worthy of itself. Many of these issues have been addressed in countless posts here on ENWorld, so I won't rehash them. Splitting the schools among the wizard and sorcerer is a good...

I am a brutal DM that prefers character power coming from experience and levels as opposed to uber-stats that make a 1st level fighter the offensive equivalent of a 4th level fighter, so my method is straight 10s and 12 points to buy stats up on a point-for-point basis (Max 18 before racial...

I can and will run at any level, however: Epic is, in my opinion, just stupid. There are better homebrew methods of dealing with 21st and higher. I love the 5th and above; survivability, power, yet still vulnerable to all manner of nasty DM tricks. The key to high level play is to restrict...

*BLUSH*

I found the Class Defense Bonus system in UA to be unwieldy and abusable. What I did was decide that a character's defense bonus equaled his Base Attack Bonus divided by two and rounded down. This way it is really easy to figure out a multiclass character's bonus and allows for characters that...

That depends heavily on what you are really trying to accomplish. For instance, are you hitting the acid theme hot and heavy? Are you willing to pick sub-optimal spells to stick with the theme? I would, presuming that the character theme is most important to you, go with sorcerer. They are the...

My group is currently playing a campaign where every character gets a bonus feat at first level and then a feat every odd level thereafter. It has worked out really nice. Not too powerful, but a lot better than the very stringent every third level presented in the core books. Try it!

Thanks! I kind of felt the same way, but I wanted some other input before I submitted my idea to the DM. Later!

Real quick-like... I am playing a sorceress with a storm theme. I am staying very true to the theme... to the point where I cannot fill all of my spell slots using only the PHB, which is all we are allowed to use. The DM gave me permission to attempt to convert the Druid spells that deal with...

Thanks guys! I suspected that no DC increase was the intention myself, but I wanted to check on anything official before ruling it in or out for my character. Appreciate the info. Later!

I would not base any of the class abilities on stat modifiers. I personally do not like doing that for anything because I like levels granting more abilities as opposed to stats... Just personal opinion though. The extra hail of arrows is cool. I would leave it at that and play it a couple of...

I am playing 3.5 I have looked all over the place and cannot find any reference to the error in the book.

My copy of Player's Guide to Faerun has a discrepancy. The Spellcasting Prodigy feat listed in the comprehensive feats list at the beginning of the feats section says that the feat grants a +1 bonus to your spell save DCs. The full description, however, says nothing about the DC increase; only...
