Hi again 'Khaalis':) (one should expect bruch-offs when giving radical opinions to people who have put a lot of work into something. This is something I have observed, not deducted; to be kinda fair (memory faltering, who gives a damn), I remember soapm, jd and pol doing the same; everyone...

Hi again. I gave some comments on part which were fairly summarily dismissed, but here I go again :) Isn't this thing turning into a monster? It seems like tha base class write-up is way longer than the PHB version, and if the lineages are included, it becomes longer than any class in the PHB...

Personally, I would expect elementalists to be sorcerous types, but if you want a learned/clinical approcah, how about basing it on the wizard, simply offering 5-6 additional wizard specializations, one being the 'general' elementalist. Instead of prohibited schools the elemental specialist...

I have enjoyed reading the thread but haven't replied before. Here's a mixed bag of comments and suggestions, all imo: The basic changes seem a little too much. It's good that armor proficiency is gone but I'm not sure about the d6 for HPs. You say it's still less than clerics etc., but it is...

Just a couple of quick comments. I think counting feats is a pretty good way to compare classes. It's not perfect but pretty good (and +5 BAB is worth a great deal more than 5 weapon focus feats since it applies to all weapons and attack actions). As was said, however, it's difficult to account...

For some reason, it would seem more 'reasonable' to me if the item had a specific fixed spell in it rather than an empty slot. It just seems more likely that a sorcerer would craft an item to let him keep that certain extra spell he needs (and that way the DM can influence which 'flavour' is...

Is there any particular reason why something like this should be restricted to weapons? Other types of items could be made magical too, especially if some 'mundane' enhancements were introduced. For example increases to HP/hardness/saves or an enhancement making the owner always aware of the...

No, each head (and thereby each hit) has a lower chance to crit and each head can therefore be given a higher base damage.

Table: The Fighter Base Attack Fort Ref Will Level Bonus Save Save Save Special App +0 +2 +0 +0 Bonus feat 1st +1 +2 +0 +0 I just noticed that you have moved the 1st level bonus feat to a new 'Apprentice' level? This is interesting. Can/must the apprentice level be taken when multiclassing...

At 9th caster level, MM averages 17.5 points of damage. If each 2 levels were to increase damage by 50%, as to keep up with Empower, a 9th level version of MM should average 17.5 * (1.5)^4 = 88.6 points of damage when cast by a sufficiently high-level caster. How does that compare with official...

This should be fine. However, I think it would have been easier to count 6 as -2 and 7 as -1 with the standard point-buy. As far as I can tell, that would be identical. I think the standard point-buy score is 28 instead of 41-6*2=29 (which I think is a more 'correct' value) because the ability...

Jhyrryl, I agree that things should be kept simple. But why do you *have* to draw lines between the squares? Why not take a chess board? That 'definition' of a grid of squares should be as good as drawing the boundaries between the squares. Now, it seems to me that your argument above relies on...

SnowDog, If you don't like that a mage can cast a line spell so precisely that he can straddle the boundary between two squares perfectly and hit nobody (when casting it at a *slightly* different angle would hit one of the squares), how can you like it any better that a mage can cast a line...

Hmm... I think I can relate to this. How about thinking of roleplaying as a time to get out of the square image? I know that I myself can seem 'pretty uptight' (less so now than previously, I think...) but I really enjoy playing silly/stupid characters. Maybe you would too? If you can get to...

If you want to mmodify things, you might get inspiration from the Complete Book of Necromancers. It's good stuff.

Am I wrong when I think that in 3.5, a reduction of ASF would be a fixed cost to enchanted armor? It seems to me that only defensive powers add a 'plus'. Maybe you're using 3.0?

In my previous post, I should probably have made it clearer that I was only referring to the SRD all along to see what its rule would mean. Instead of writing that only a few illustrations were 'corrct', I should probably have specified that they are 'correct by the rules in the SRD' or...

I only have the SRD. It says: Now, that sounds simple to me. It sounds like the PHB has some more text that makes things complicated, but let's see what the SRD text implies. I especially note the last sentence since it invalidates a lot of what has been written above. A line (which is...

It sounds fine, but why require the sorcerer/player to decide which spells he will 'forget'? Why not just let him replace any spell that hasn't been used since you last gained a sorcerous spellcasting level? I mean, in your system, what would be the downside to saying "I forget all my spells"...

Will you be using PrCs? As you probably know, sorcerers lose very little when taking a PrC so it's usually beneficial to go that way. If you want to be good at metamagic and use MoF, how about the Incantatrix? It's very good if you can get the Knowledge (Planes) requirement, it can take you all...
