    Ogre variant

    Taking a stab at normalization, since you commented in my thread: Int: 7+1d4+1d6 == 9->19 == +0 or +2 Wis: +2 Cha: -6 Str: 15+1d4+1d6 == 17->25 == +6 or +8 Con: 15+1d12 == 16->27 == +6 or +8 Dex: -4 Not sure what steps mean. Die Size? At any rate, going with the normal Giant type d8, he'll...

    The LA +1 Human, Half-Orc, and Half-Elf

    The LA +1 Half-Orc First shot at the Half-Orc. Using proven technology, we'll steal a bunch of stuff from the UA Paragon classes again. Here's the changes: * +2 Str, -2 Int * Rage 1/day * +4 Racial bonus to Intimidate * (everything else the same) I've read a lot of the "Half-Orcs are Weak"...

    The LA +1 Human, Half-Orc, and Half-Elf

    Right. I'll probably do that, once I've fleshed the world out enough to have regions (I'm a proponent of the "build outward" method of world development). Between regional feats and the odd General feat, I think it'd be a pretty good list. True. And those will need to be worked on later in the...

    The LA +1 Human, Half-Orc, and Half-Elf

    Double post. First time, I feel a little unclean.

    The LA +1 Human, Half-Orc, and Half-Elf

    Oh, that's too easy :) Actually, I'm kinda close to giving them a extra class level. The Human Paragon from Unearthed Arcana - the first level gives you: * +2 Will Save * d8 HP * Adaptive Learning (1 skill always class skill) * 4+Int Skill Points (from memory, may be a touch off) OK. Let's...

    The LA +1 Human, Half-Orc, and Half-Elf

    Some time back, I'd posted a short series of races pulled partly from WotC's Savage Species articles, a LA +0 Tiefling and Feytouched. I'd been wanting to muck about with the 'common' races in my campaign-world, and I'd been leaning towards a humano-centric game. Everything being LA +0 was...

    What 'type' is the Druid's Animal Companion?

    Thanks, all! Espc. Sharlata for the cut+pasting. I'll certainly be *holding* a animal companion in the next few hours, although I think I may wait a few sessions before I try it on a wild-shaper. (she's barely got to use it, no need to dissuade her from it!) Why I'm going to this length to...

    What 'type' is the Druid's Animal Companion?

    Just a couple quick, easy questions, I'm not seeing anything in the SRD: Will the various 'Hold Animal', Dominate Animal, etc. etc, work on it (druid animal companion), or is it not enough of an animal type any longer? Will those same spells work on a Wild Shaped druid? It's kind of an animal...

    UA - Recharge Magic plus Vitality

    Vitality may be the wrong word. As far as my own preferences, I dislike the fire+forget method of spellcasting, for whatever sundry reasons. I'd been playing a Spell Point caster for some time now, and I've been feeling a little stifled by the lack of extra slots (from high ability scores), and...

    Prestige Caster Level Progression, Assassin, Mystic Theurge.

    Well, in the case of the Assassin, let's say, and the Practiced Spellcaster feat or Arcane Trickster - We'll say I'm a Rogue 5/Assassin 10/Trickster 5. If I would rule that the Practiced Spellcaster feat and the Arcane Trickster "+1 spellcasting level" would apply to the Assassin levels, I'd...

    Prestige Caster Level Progression, Assassin, Mystic Theurge.

    The one thing I recall on that (at least the only other time I've seen it) is that the Defenders of the Faith version of the Contemplative gave divine spellcasting progression, but didn't require the ability to cast divine spells. As I recall the wording, it stated that you'd just start casting...

    Prestige Caster Level Progression, Assassin, Mystic Theurge.

    If this has been debated before (ad nausuem), I apologize for more nauseum. :) OK - three related questions, each more perilous than before: Jane is a Rogue 5, Wizard 3, Assassin 5. She takes a level of Arcane Trickster, which gains her +1 spellcasting level in another spellcasting class. She...

    Are the core base classes enough to build what you want to play?

    What I've always wanted to see is the Bard class without the musical powers - the actual jack-of-all-trades, the generic 'Adventurer', without the lyre. I just don't know what to replace it with. Some of the music bits are group oriented, and it's hard to come up with a valid group-oriented...

    When did the wild west stop being cool?

    Hatari! Man my wife digs that movie. Watches it every time it's on. Blasted cable TV :) (I like it too..just not..all the time.) Best use of rockets and nets!

    Sending

    Hm. What would work great for that would be a item that shunts the sending over to someone else, to be answered in the Queen's voice. Although, in this case, (issuing a Sending to the doppel-Queen while she's in sight) would require some real-time coordination between the doppelgangers and the...

    Looking for a Feat: Improved Animal Companion

    And bears. Oh my. At any rate, reducing the apparent HD of the animal (recalculating attacks/saves as well) and bringing it up as the druid levels, finally getting the true animal at whichever level they technically qualify for it, is probably OK, along with reduced damage die if you're really...

    Complete Adventurer is Rogues/Bards book!

    I think we're all missing the most important news We're missing the real scoop, in the spell list: Defenestrating Sphere Defenestrate is to "throw out a window". I have high, high hopes for this spell during barfights. :) I vaguely recall a odd spell from the Tome of *something* Knowledge...

    Tiefling, Feytouched as LA +0

    Ah, OK, what I assume you are implying is that someone would take the LA 0 Tiefling, and Rogue level 1 to start. Then at character level 2, they are forced to take Tiefling Level 1, and therefore have a LA +1 race, without starting everyone else at level 2. After *that*, they can do whatever...
