I like it. Would you keep track of alignment for PC's then? Or just which faith they worship as an expression of their personality?

Pg 198, 3.5 Dungeon Master's Guide It gives you both options; one for researching completely new spells, and the other for simply adding new spells to a spellbook (or as a variant, spontaneous caster's spells known).

You could just leave it at "devout follower" for ease sake, because any outsider would either be completely for or completely against the pantheon. Speaking of which... do you mean "pantheon vs pantheon" as "Greek vs Norse" or "Pelor vs Nerull?" The former means your getting into a much larger...

I'm not exactly disinterested in 4e, but I'm not really enthusiastic either. With all it's shortcomings, I like the 3.5 system. I'm still only paying any real attention to the House Rules, though...

A) House Rules Forum. B) I completely agree that the alignments add too much of a global goodie-goodie feel to organized religion, but I think that adding that much realism might be a bit too complicated. I wouldn't really want to play a cleric or paladin, because all my alignment based...

Zzlatch Zzlatch has the consistancy, appearance, and taste of tar soaked in a fine elven red wine when hit by a few flasks of alchemists fire and acid from a safe distance. Some abberations find it to be a delicacy in it's solid form, while others like to use it as a makeshift medieval napalm...

Mutate Self Transmutation [Chaotic] Level: Clr 2, Drd 2, Sor/Wiz 2 Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Personal Target: You Duration: 1 min./level (D) You feed energy into your latent natural abilities to alter your physical form in unpredictable ways. Roll 1d20 then consult...

I think it's a clear cut case. All the spells are on their class list. A cleric will not cast an [Evil] descriptor spell if good natured, becuase they and their deity are against it on an ethical level. I would say that it doesn't matter where you're casting the spells from, if it's an evil...

...until they gave the fighter Weapon Supremecy with a 18th fighter level requirement, and all the fighter favorites inbetween, in the PH2. I do agree that the melee classes tend to have a much more lucrative time multiclassing, but they're still sacrificing some great late game abilities.

How much cold damage does it take to freeze water, if it can at all? I know it raises all kinds of underwater combat questions, and the water rules don't seem that amazing to begin with, but what would be your opinion? My companions and I have been debating this for some time, and it doesn't...

One heck of a read, but I'll see what I can do. Ok, let's ignore the fact that diplomatic peace ties are in the way... 1) Skarl vs. Areen: What's stopping them from sending a large force through the Skarl northern city of Basch, where the mountains are less trecherous? Areen would be...

Personally, I'm a fan of Warmage/Elemental Savant. My original build calls for a Warforged Scout with Mithral Body flavor, but I guess Human will do. The core of all my fun feats was Born of Three Thunders (Complete Arcane), Storm Bolt, and Clap of Thunder (Complete Mage), making it a...

Why not pair the summons by subtype, rather than actual type? Because the specialty lies in outsiders and elementals it would be easy enough to enact the normal good/evil, law/chaos, fire/cold kind of split. In addition, summoners who choose to boost their animals could have a bonus to SNA...

Staying true to the original Diehard feat is probably for the best, changing it to allow stabalization after the first saving throw. And as far as Steadfast Determination goes, now it has a true death-defying purpose! I mean, as long as you took Endurance anyway, you might as well be gearing...

I like it. I mean, only someone with a really good reason would want to leave their prefered afterlife to traverse the mortal hardships again.

I really like your idea, eamon, but I think I'm going to mutilate it a little... ;) A death check: Fortitude save vs. death, DC (half of your negative hit points). No success consequences. As a quick example: 1) A character is dropped to negative hit points and is dying. 2) The character...

And the best magic item crafter ever! :lol:

At least according to Vile Darkness, Orcus is still an outsider. It's all in the backstory, I'm afraid. Not to say a fiendish lich wouldn't be altogether impossible with a quick DM fiat. Vile Death (spell from SC) allows undead to gain the fiendish template, so I think it would be completely in...

If you wanted to be really silly, you could go Anti-Paladin/Blackguard/Warlock/Eldrich Disciple, using the Healing Blast and the aformentioned template.
