Late along the line a warlocks can get a Invocation that can bane his Elderic blast adding 2d6 for one creature type. My warlock which will start at level one tomorrow is a sniper with Elderic spear. It keeps you out of harms way. At 6th you can get quicken to fire off a couple more sniper...

Yeah..Because Wizards never prepare a head of time..That makes sense.... DM: Not only was the wizard not watching you to prepare ahead of time, it totally slipped his mind mind...and he he didn't prepare spells for the day. Players: Yay!

Dr. Strangelove or: How I learned to stop worrying and love the bomb. Er.. Whats the title of this thread again? ---Rusty

Thanks Every one for posting so quickly. Its not as organized has when i had originally thought of it. Its not as bad as people want to make it out to be. There is still the problem of spells per day. Suddenly, the wizard can cast two fireballs in a turn and does. Now, when he really needs...

I have a house rule where skills are role played first. Depending on how you go about it you could get a bonus if you go about it in a intelligent manner. How many ranks and if its a Cross class skill effect it as well. Or if you a moron and go about things moronically you get a penalty. So...

Sorry to threadjack, but how does every one feel about this quote from R.A. Salvador rather then the two options given which, I feel don't cover all the bases well enough to pick one or the other. ---Rusty

This rule could be has a few parts to it. 1) Take out 'Move action' Anything that was a move action is now a standard action. 2) Anything that was a move action becomes a standard action. 3) A player starts off with two standard actions where he can attack/attack or move/attack or any combo...

And the players had fun right? Sort of like "Wow..I don't need to Cross class four times to have fun...." ---Rusty

How I see it, skills are more then numbers, its a part of you personality. When two different class with a close skills list or even the same class and they both have the same skill ranks, then characters look like cookie cutters. Personally, I would like to take it back a step, and make all...

I hope we can lay this to rest soon. Actually, I am disappointed no one took me on when I said the magic items need myth was a powergamer myth. Never the less I'll elaborate some. 1) In order to beat the boss we need a 'Cloak of Resistance' to have x saves, a +3 vorpal sword and x other magic...

I understand the need for a check, however, couldn't the player take 10 by flying half his speed? ---Rusty

I'll go with what R.A. Salvador said in a D&D podacast. It was something to this effect: Which to me means the Dm should enable the players to tell the story of the [character's life] with plots, but the plots should not be the focus of the game. ---Rusty

In my honest opinion I think the 'tons of magic items' myth comes from the same powergamers that brought you the 'you need to have 5 or 6 class levels at 20th level' myth. Its because D&D players mostly are power gamers. If you ask them to describe there character the response that is most...

This ones for you mom ---Rusty

I don't think its a silly nerf at all, in my opinion. There was too many people trying to create a huge crit range for x4 crit weapons. Any way, no there is nothing in the rules that will help your plight. And if you are asking that with the idea of of applying it to a scythe or a lance then...

Same here. I hate it when a player says "ZOMG eye have a 22+6 cha score i r sexy woot" ---Rusty

I use a Substitute level for that: Training over Study You focus on training with a sword rather then sharping you mind. Drawback: Your skill drop by 1 step. (So if you get 6x int mod, it becomes 4x int mod) Benifent: Your BAB increase by one step. Special: If your Skill point is 2x int...

Ive yet to see one that supports calling the name of your attacks as you do them. I am currently taking Akido through College (our College offers alot of martial art classes) Our teacher shouts a lot, and its the advanced part of breathing for adding Ki. However, shouting is far different the...

Personally, I prefer Sub levels to ether re-writing classes for new abilities/flavor or 'Dead Levels' Its led to many interesting characters in my worlds. ---Rusty

Some anime has chants for casting spells, other just shout the name. In my games, all magic is granted by Gods, whether it Arcane or Devine, they have to pray to their God as a verbal component. No. At least not at any fencing event or Martial art class do. In fact, even every martial art I...
