    Probability vs. Point Buy

    I suggest 32. In my experience, it is rare that people actually roll 4d6 6 times and just keep those results. There's always multiple sets, or rerolling ones, or rerolling one die, or plain old cheating. 28 is probably a perfect fit for what 4d6 would get you if you actually used that rule...

    Dangerous PC Alert

    Yeah, I wouldn't recommend it. Outsiders have an insane level adjustment which makes them unsuitable for most roles in a party. At high levels you have a lot of neat abilities, but you're so fragile that you have to run away from any decent combat. If this is his first time playing 3.x...

    The Saint template

    Ahh, ok, so you make him spend the two levels without the template, and then trade them in to become a saint. That sounds a lot more fair. How are you defining the whole "must act super good all the time" prerequisite? -The Souljourner

    The Saint template

    *grin* You'd think so, that's not the case :) He is trying to keep some semblance of balance, even at such high powered levels. -The Souljourner

    The Saint template

    Hrmph. I was really hoping someone was going to point out something I missed. I want this for a cleric I'm playing (who will have 27 wisdom at level 6, not counting magic items).. but I'm afraid my DM will shoot it down for being overpowered at +2 ('cuz it is). -The Souljourner

    It works ok for me, and I haven't given a dime to EnWorld (sorry, guys :o ) -The Souljourner

    The Saint template

    Level adjustment is +2. This is the text in the book about gaining the template: "<prerequisites including "Must be at least 6th level"> A character who meets these criteria and achieves this pinnacle of sanctification can acquire the saint template.... Upon acquiring the template, ... the...

    Getting thrown into an Iron Maiden

    *lol* Ahh, the Pit of Despair. You might look into Races of Stone - it has a feat called Fling Enemy :) You pick up and hurl an enemy like hurled boulders. Would work perfectly in this case. And I think you should roll 10d10. Flat 50 is boring... 10d10 is a crapload of really big dice, and...

    The Saint template

    The description of becoming a saint in Exalted Deeds says that when you take (or more likely, are given) the saint template, you give up your next two levels, and the xp needed to reach the next level is as if you were two levels higher. It then goes on to say that this offsets the artificially...

    Bards vs Alignment?

    I agree that it's stupid. Lawful Rogues can stab people in the back, but if you're a singer, you can't sing about the glory of the law. Stupid. Monks and paladins, sure. Even barbarians, sure. But bards? No way. -The Souljourner

    D&D 3E/3.5 3.0 Ranger vs 3.5 Ranger

    Yeah, they changed. Before they were kinda sucky, now they totally rock. -The Souljourner

    Why does Undead=Evil

    You know what I spot immediately, no matter how fast I read something? Using "your" when you should be using you're. Oh, and one thing to add to my last post... I actually kinda like the easy black and white of most of D&D. It makes the typical D&D adventures a heck of a lot more realistic...

    Why does Undead=Evil

    The whole thing about not being able to resurrect people who were turned undead was from 2nd edition, I think. My group looked it up the other day in 3.5 and couldn't find any mention of it, so it's probably just a mental holdover from then. As for why it's evil... because it's in the rules...

    Listen up you little dice monkies

    Yeah, that's what I meant when I said it "determines what number comes out of the random number generator". Seeding and generating are the same thing. To seed is to fill in a value of the equation, which is used in generating the random number. In your equation, the value next is the seed...

    Hallow/Unhallow duration.

    related question - would you need to pay the extra 1000gp per level of the spell the second time around? I'm assuming that since you have to actually cast it again, at the very least, you have to include the base 1000gp for oils etc. -The Souljourner

    Threaten With A Bow

    There's an epic feat that removes the provocation of AoO, called Combat Archery. Could easily be house ruled to require +8 BAB and be *perfectly* balanced, however. -The Souljourner

    Listen up you little dice monkies

    Yeah... it's about time. What Hyp is talking about is that time on computers is denoted by a long-ass number - the number of microseconds since Midnight, January 1st, 1970. So what you get is something like 1,073,741,824,476,728. (that's 1:37pm on January 10th, 2004, in case you couldn't...

    Giant or Skeleton? Or both?

    Nope. Its type is undead, not giant. Sorry. Of course, (venturing deep into house rule territory here) I think it would be cool to make undead a subtype. So you could have undead Giants, undead humanoids, etc. Kinda makes sense, right? But I guess the rationale is, once you're undead...
