Ooh I forgot about Grease, that's a fantastic 1st-level grapple reducer.

I'd say since they are separate instances of healing, each roll gets the bonus. Plus if you don't allow it, the feat starts getting worse as you gain levels, and that's silly. Look at Toughness for an example of this.

The penalties one gets for being small aren't penalties at all when you're a caster. -4 grapple? You've already got the worst grapple in the party and you have a plethora of spells to avoid grapples altogether, including your +1 AC making you harder to grab in the first place. -2 strength? oh...

Or perhaps the problem is that your group doesn't fully understand the grapple rules? See most of your arguments hinge on things like flying grapplers being common. Overland Flight could be renamed "melee immunity". I have never once been involved in a game where flying grapplers were used, in...

Diehard with Endurance :p

Really, more than half? Sounds well-researched. ;) To me it sounds like you're letting personal experience dictate what is or is not a disadvantage. The truth is, -4 on grapples isn't that big of a deal to a wizard. Your grapple is ALREADY the worst in the whole party. Being 4 points less isn't...

I think rogues are terribly weak. Yeah, they do a whole lot of damage. No, they don't have a lot of HP. No, they don't have a lot of AC. No, they don't have good Fort or Will saves. They've got great skills, but that doesn't help much when an orc barbarian is chopping them into d6's. Their...

LOL!!! Wow, no seriously, I laughed really hard when I saw that. Honestly if you're a gnome illusionist and you get grappled, it's your fault. Why the hell don't you look like a buff human dude with a bow, or maybe a full-plated dwarf? That's deterrant enough right there. Plus why is your party...

Who said that? It sure wasn't me. I'd subject an air elemental to drowning rules if it got somehow buried, cut off from air. I'd treat an earth elemental to acid damage if it was somehow suspended and fully enclosed in air, severed from the earth. Water elementals that fall into melting rock...

I guess you didn't read the part about the Leap Attacking. If we're going to invent an advantageous scenario for the caster it's not hard to invent one for the barb...someone else is standing next to his first target. Cleave. Plus, he still gets iterative attacks in the following rounds. I...

Oh noes you mean a mage wearing a mithral shirt is just as good as a mage with Mage Armor? Broken! :) Why not a shield? *shrug* Don't forget the -5 full plate ACP. Toting a mithral buckler has 0% ASF and has been a long time twink for mage players, so that is nothing new to me. Let's pretend...

Actually there is a penalty: it's -ACP to all your attack rolls AND str- and dex- based checks and skills. So say goodbye to your scorching rays because your BAB already sucks--good luck hitting a 13 touch AC at level 3 with a -8 to hit while firing into melee. And also instead of this whole...

More...damage? Power Attacking Barbarian20 with a +5 holy shock flaming greatsword of frost (and a reasonable 40 str during rage) is rolling out with around 7d6+60 and around or over +20 to hit against evil creatures. Meteor Swarming wizard deals 24d6 to one target with a ref save for half...

That rocks. Like a little cutesy stuffed animal looking thing that sits on your shoulder. Or like the ugliest, sickliest dog you've ever seen, it just limps after the character and never dies, and it's always 10 feet behind you. Always.

Yeah, but those stats would hurt badly to EVERYONE. That race would be abysmal unless it had some pretty radical specials. They'd make decent sorcerers or bards, ok paladins, and total crap everything else. OTOH, the core races (aside from the half-breeds) make a few really great choices, and...

Good to know that most people are confident the vampires and humans in the same party using d20 rules will be handled well at the least. I don't recall getting all that worked up about it, but ok. My argument is "oversized ultra-power sniper rifles that are designed to rip through tank armor...

Notice my caveat of "unless they don't screw it up". I didn't review and reject anything. I'm also not a Monte Cook fanboy and I don't keep up with what rules he has or hasn't addressed, but it's good to know that he's on top of it. Just because someone is in power doesn't make them smart, and...

Ok I just got it. :lol:

I dunno man, watching a hot female shake it gets me pretty motivated. I think I'd house rule that.

P-cat's system is exactly what I want, minus leveling every 10 sessions. Looks really solid, I like it. I was trying to work out a way to do item creation without concrete XP awards. I'm going to extend this to GP cost components as well, and even the GP cost portion of item creation...
