    [Vile] Your flesh is my armor!

    Sweet idea, i think i'll yoink it too. If i recall, DragonGirl did a Call of Cthulu monster conversion that was similar, pretty much something inside a body. Gave it a +6 or something to the armor of the creature inside. Something you could do would be to give it a high bonus ac at first, and...

    PrC: Black Healer (needs balancing)

    I was thinking about this, and what could be done would be to simply allow the character to add their knowledge (plant lore) or their knowledge (physiology) ranks to their heal checks, with a cap of either their total levels as a black healer or total levels of black healer + 5. Something for...

    PrC: Black Healer (needs balancing)

    I think i may yoink this idea. This class would fit in very well in a low magic world. In my opinion this would be an excellent PrC for a ranger, an expert maybe even a witch in such a world. It is not as focused as many of the PrCs (meaning it's not tailored for a specific class as far as i...

    Spring attack & charge

    Ok, time to throw my hat in the ring: First, according to my PHB (first printing) Charging does *not* provoke an AoO. Second, Charging is a "Special" Standard Action as described in the very first line of the "Charge" section. Yes, you attack, but in the description it does not say "you...

    What would survive?

    For another interesting read about post-apoc times.... Another really good read about post-apocalyptic times is "A Canticle for Leibowitz" by Walter M. Miller Jr. It takes a great look at what would happen to society after an apocaplypse (in this case nuclear war). It covers a huge amount of...

    DM help- Teaching players a lesson

    Have another group of heros show up in town with the kidnapped folks that your group was going after. Have one or two of the victims dead, two or three really messed up (like bones have been taken out, eyes missing, scarred up for life, something really nasty) and two or three that are unharmed...

    What's your 3.5e wishlist?

    1. Skill sets ala CoC d20 This would be great all around, it would quell the howls for intimidate, move silently, spot, etc. for the fighters and allow for a more customized character. I see skills as accumilated life experience, by having hard-line skill sets it makes it difficult to make a...

    GURPS to D20 conversions?

    After looking through a friends collection of GURPS stuff and seeing some of the beasties i'd really like to add them to my DnD game....sadly, i've never played GURPS so I don't know what stats relate to what. Does anyone have some good conversion rules to take GURPs monsters, etc to d20? All...

    D20 and "netrunning" combos?

    I didn't get to mess with it to much when a friend of mine ran a cyberpunk game, BUT it would seem that hacking-n-cracking systems would be a helluvalot cooler if they had a "net running" system like CyberPunk. Yeah, checks are neat and all, but setting up a digital dungeon some poor hacker has...

    [Rant] Robbed of right to gloat at PC's death!

    Well, while I don't like my characters taking a dirt nap, I don't flinch too much when it happens. I always have a few other character ideas waiting in the wings. I have "resureccted" a few old characters when i switched campaigns (read: moved to a different state) to keep playing them because...

    Killer Modules

    My group just got done with Tomb of Abysthor about two weeks ago and now we are moving to Necropolis...we didn't have any TPK's in the Tomb, in fact i think we only had two deaths. The cleric (who was raised) and myself (not ressed). After hearing that Necropolis is a feared module I guess i...

    "Sweeping" enhancement - how does it work?

    I was planning on adding it to a psionic warriors weapon with the Stand Still and Knock down feats. I figure at worst i can trip them and stop them in their tracks in some way or another.

    "Sweeping" enhancement - how does it work?

    Reading the "Sweeping" enhancement from the Magic of Faerun I can't figure out the "+4 Str" bonus it infers when making a trip attack. Is it a normal +4 Str bonus (ie - add it to my Str score and use that Str bonus in my check) or is it added to the result of my check (ie - roll d20, add normal...

    How Grapples work. Do i have this right?

    Here's something to think about - because it's been used to great effect in the game i DM, and i'll be d*mned if i can't see much rules wise to stop it, but i'd like to find a counter to it because it sucks to have a lvl 3 monk take out a lvl 9 fighter with it. Lvl 3 monk, flurry of blows...

    Anybody else hate facing?

    Hmm...i haven't had to deal with facing in this way, but if it bothers you think of the Tower Sheild and Sheild spells as a temporary wall. No books in front of me, so i don't recall everything about them, but they seem to act just like a wall or something else would act for cover, ac bonus...

    1000 Quotes from holy (or unholy) tomes

    I'm surpised no one has put this up: LITANY AGAINST FEAR I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path...

    Scratch the Archer idea, I think I'll go Assassin instead...

    Hehe, well, I hate to double post, since I just made a replied in another thread about archers, but i'll cut and paste my response from there since it's more then relavent here too. I'd look at some of the archer feats from AEG's Mercenaries. They have some good ones to increase your sneak...
