The first decent answer I've seen on this question (BoED 'mature'?). It hearkens back to SKR's tale of the crunchy vs. non-crunchy supplements. I doubt BoED is 'mature' for this reason, though that's just a SWAG. -Fletch!

I just cut it. Then it's balanced. :) The self sufficient nature has PO'd other players, and the pseudo-oriental flavor is such an annoying discord with the rest of a western medieval fantasy setting. It works well 100% in an oriental campaign like Rokugan or something like that, but I just...

I don't typically sunder because, except for creatures with really good DR (at the level of or better than the party's weapons) the opponents don't have good enough weapons to sunder the party's stuff. I only have one player that likes to sunder (+4 adamantine battle axe and improved sunder)...

A: It really depended on what the content was. Eliminating any chance to define vile/mature within this thread really hobbles the question. B: Probably. Depends on definition of mature/vile. C: Probably. Depends on definition of mature/vile. D: Probably. Depends on definition of...

Actually, I like the name and love the feat. Combined with Snatch for dragons, it is beautiful. Otherwise, threatened areas are meaningless. Anyway, Spring Attack gets around it. -Fletch!

Just drop the whole concept of wound points. Vitality points basically are hit points in every way. Determined the same way, used the same way. -Fletch!

OK, I've been working on this for some time. The magic system seemed to present a big problem, but I think I have it worked out. For those not familiar with WP/VP (and be careful w/ reuse; this is not OGC): OK, here's my bit. How do spells fit in with this? Does cure light wounds fix even...

Age 9 (not a poll option). -Fletch!

Some of our DMs use the FR system (including me) and others use the DMG system. I've found that the FR system helps people catch up from losing levels various ways, or if they make magic items to help the whole party. The DMG system discourages any attachment to characters: they die, lose a...

Since the Dastana does not take a regular magic item slot, it would be double the cost. Maybe not epic item cost, but not a cheese either. -Fletch!

I get to game maybe six or seven times a month, on average, between two groups. It's probably enough, but a friend is starting a game at a local hobby shop, a couple hours one night a week. I'll probably dig for that too. Merlion, if you're in Indy, check out the Game Preserve. They maintain...

I like golems and use them alot. The one problem is that they are fairly fragile for the cost involved. If I spend 80 to 100 kgp, I want something tough, not something that the average adventuring party can rip apart in four rounds. The cost/benefit ratio (the economic standpoint has already...

I'll chime in too. The latest fey feature was very good, maintining an unusually high level of quality and creativeness. It is such a shame that the system as a whole largely disses fey. On the other hand, I'm making a modified campaign where elves are immortal (as in Tolkien), and the...

And only if you're restricted to a partial action for some reason (slowed, surprise round, etc.). You can't make a single move and then a partial charge. You also cannot draw a weapon as part of a charge. If your BAB is +1 or higher, you can draw a weapon as part of a move. But a charge is...

It's pretty clear how things like attack bonus and saves increase w/ hit dice, but not SR. I remember seeing something about it in an eamil or messageboard post from one of the 3E designers, but can't remember where or what it said. My point is that there is some sort of guideline, but it is...

We had a three player campaign: an archer (me), a cleric and a skills person. No wizard. That was tough. But my archer did pretty well. I'd certainly suggest Arcane Archer. Sure greater magic weapon can give you the magic arrows, but if you are doing rapid shot every round with a multi-shot...

We ran the whole thing with a novice DM and, as GenLang put it, understanding players. The DM put a lot of effort into tying the modules together. Sure, they form an interwtined plot, but sometimes you skip any mention of a particular plot thread for one or more modules. That said, it should...

Mea culpa here. In my haste, I forgot to add my little ;) in my celibacy - BoVD quip. See, haste is broken... -Fletch!

But in a system where stealing defined as evil, no separation or segregation of morality, ethics and honor is possible. -Fletch!

It's not bad; it actually fills a major gap in character options. OTOH, I would make the requirements 5th level arcane and 5th level divine spells. It's just too easy as is. How about some toss feats as prerequisites? -Fletch!
