Well, I get lost with the Log numbers. Is there a simplier way to figure it out? Also, which system (associated class, or the other math) would more accurately represent PC power being multiclassed? I'm thinking of coming up with some house rules to make multiclassing more viable. If the...

after gaining a better grasp of the LA/ECL mechanic I'd go with +6ish as well. please disregard my previous ignorance laced post :D

I think it had something to do with the challenge level of an encounter, like a character is equivalent to 2 characters of 2 levels lower, or something (a 10th level wizard would be the same CR as 2 8th level wizards). I think it was an extrapolation of that idea, but I didn't necessarily...

ahhhh, well that answers one question, thanks much :) now if anyone can make out what the other one was about heh

I believe this is the proper forum, please move if incorrect. Question 1: is any consistant way that ECLs are figuered because there are some ECLs that seem a bit off to me looking through the 3.5 MM (Hill Giant ECL +4). Maybe I'm reading it wrong, but a 1st level Fighter Hill Giant should be...

as for the origonal class I've pretty much settled with a "bard-like" build (similar spells per day, a transmutation ability that is a knock off of bardic music sort of thing, etc). I am just trimming it around a bit, so thank you all for the ideas, I may post a completed version if anyone is...

Edited out for being totally wrong.

charm person, command, suggestion, illusions + bluff skill (illusions of powerful friends to push a negotiation), etc might do the trick if you are looking to avoid fights?

for AD&D 2nd in an old dragon issue (it's based around wilderness) there's some new classes, fey-touched was one, and Merlin (Merlain, merlan, merlen, some derivation of the like) was another, the M one was a wizard who build odd creatures. They detailed spells that would boost stats, add...

You could expand upon the idea you had for the "location" knowledge skills. In a similar way you could use knowledge (history) to "guess based on reoccuring patterns in history" what is vaguely likely to happen within the next week (in regard to a specific kind of event that has happened...

The following is what i had done this morning pretty much, but i'm going to take another look at it based on the posts (lots of good thoughts in them, thank you). Creating a Substance (raw material): Substance, DC Valuable Metals/Gems, 20 (Gold, silver, ruby, etc) Darkwood, 20 Mithral, 25...

possible interesting uses for Knowledge (history) and Knowledge (nobility and royalty)... Knowledge (nobility and royalty) Blackmail: with a high enough check you are able to unearth some secret that a specific ruler or royal family has tried to cover up. The discovery of this secret by the...

perhaps I misunderstood what you ment by, "I would suggest limiting alchemists on "value" rather than weight." I was assumeing you ment GP value, but was obviously mistaken. Did you mean to limit it as a DM call each transmutation? I think FMA possibly lost something in the translation for...

How would you scale the value limit on the characters? In my most recient version i do away with quantity limits other then "10cu. ft. / level" (a popular D&D restriction on all sorts of magic-like things). As for "temporary gadgets which only they can use" I was just writing some feats and...

perhaps I should change some of the alchemy levels from weight to bonuses to the alchemy skill or craft skill checks? higher craft checks would allow for greater quality. Part of the alchemy feats I was thinking about were things like "Keen Edge" where you can give a weapon a sharper edge (+1...

yes, FMA is my inspiration for this class, but I wanted alchemy in the setting before I saw the anime ;). Here's what I have thus far (i hope the cut and paste doesn't look horrible)...: Game Rule Information Alchemists have the following game statistics. Abilities: Intelligence determines...

I care more about the class being interesting, balanced, and open for PC inventiveness than how it works exactly. I want it somewhat open ended so the PCs can suprise me and be creative, but not so open ended as to break the game. I'm interested in the ideas you've been working on, and it's a...

Using 3E at the moment, may convert to 3.5 at some point. I've been working on a campaign setting which shuns arcane magic, divine magic is elemental worship and druids. it is a post-apocolypse setting. Largely fantasy, with elements of technology. I want Alchemists to be a class. What an...

I would allow another character to "enter the grapple" and if they beat the flayer in all necessary checks "break a pin" against the target character to rip off all the tentacles, and free his ally. I mean, when you are helping out your friend grappleing and you break a pin you are basically...

I think this is what you are asking... Monster is Grappleing PC1, PC2 wants to join in the action. PC2 is "Joining a Grapple" so... 1 - he needs to use an attack 2 - his grab check automatically succedes 3 - the target doesn't get an AoO Then 1 - Make opposed grapple checks. If you succeed...
