Coredump, I forget which historical personage it was, nor what sort of armour he was wearing ( though it was of a heavier sort) but some french knight was able to do hand-springs, somersaults, and vault on to his mount in full armour. This is a war horse mind you, not some tiny...

WhyDirt, in my humble opinioni think you have hit the nail on the head. I do agree that skill in Balance should aid in resisting a Trip attempt so i see no reason whynot to get a Synegry Bonus. It still retains the mechanics as per the PHB but adds that little bit of a bonus for...

yeah, I was meaning to add the Poison use Ability as a Replacement for the Critical Strike Bonus Ability but I could not find the rules for it (despite knowing they had been published in either Quint Rogue or Song and Silence). In the end I ignored it so I could go to bed. I had...

Taking Khaalis' comments into account I have made several changes to my first post on this thread. Khaalis, thank you for your input, it has been very appreciated. This class would never have gotten off of the ground had it not been for you. That being said I am, of course, going...

My Favourite D20 Add-on is Ken Hood's Grim-n-Gritty system that uses BDB as well as Armour DR Bonuses. Good BDB: Fighter, Barbarian, Monk, Rogue Average BDB: Bard, Cleric, Druid, Paladin, and Ranger Poor BDB: Sorceror and Wizard The "rule of thumb" is as such: You choose the best...

Ok, I think I have it fixed. i will Fix the Bard variant Class this afternoon and bump it for your perusal.

About the "inquisitive nature" thing. I just like naming the class abilities for flavour's sake. You are right, I should try to refrain from doing that, if only for clarity's sake. Always was a bigger fan of lil' Miss Flavour than persnickkety Mrs Clarity. Privateer and Khaalis, thank...

please?

Well you are right. But that seems silly to me. you are only tryng to dodge and parry yet still you are a threat. I suppose in real life if you were parrying and dodging and your opponent turned around you would just stop whatever you were doing and hack him in the back. ok...so help me...

Ahh, but particulates (such as flour) do ignite. Explosively, I might add in an enclosed space. For more on this read Michael Crichton's book, "Timeline". Also you could makea fort save vs DC 15 or sneeze.

Ferret, i would not mind giving them an ability with a Garotte but I have no idea of the stats a Garotte ought to have. Fort Save vs death? What DC? Coup de grace on unexpecting opponents? too powerful. Sneak Attack? no, doesn't really fit. Death Attack? Already told that does...

just a note on Axe Throwing. Historically (Talking Middle Ages here) axes ( hatches and similar weapons) were Hurled prior to a Charge. This might also be modeled after the Orcish armies From WarCraft II (Troll Axe-Thrower ).

Ok, good points. Walking the Razor's Edge: The Emissary may still threaten an Opponent while in on Full Defense. This allows the Emissary to Flank an Opponent. Distraction:* Masters of manipulation the Emissary may temporarily distract an opponent that the Emissary is in Melee...

I think I have him Fixed, so give the original post a once over with the magnifying lense, ol' bean.

I forgot Diplomatic Immunity: An Emissary at this level may violate laws almost at will so long as he or she remains in good standing with his or her patron. An Emissary without a patron does not gain any benefits of this Class Ability. This ability may or may not save the Emissary if...

I forgot to mention that I am using a Modified version of the Grim-n-Gritty rules by Kenneth Hood (similar to the Unearthed Arcana Vigour rules). This is where I got the Odds=1 rule for Direct Damage Spells. This rules setalso gives DR ratings for armour and Base Defense Bonuses...

Sorry about the Mix up. Although the Adept Sage does gain the Spell List of the DMG NPC Class "Adept" the Adept Sage does not cast as a Divine Caster. The Adept Sage is an Arcane Caster and casts, memorizes and learns new spells just as a Wizard withthe Spell list and the...

:bump:

This class is loosely based upon the Mentats from the DUNE-iverse, the mechanations of Metternich, the skullduggery of a Secret Agent, and the disarming charm of a honey-voiced Diplomat. It is roughly based upon the Bard as presented by the PHB. here goes: Emissary “The City-States...

I am trying to develop some low-magic classes for my campaign setting and thought I would share one fo the classes with the community and get some feed back. Wizened stooped men, bent over bubbling beakers or poring over musty tomes, skinny bookish young men risking life and limb to get a...
