Someone: 20 degrees in Celsius is quite comfortable or even a bit too warm for most people, as it's around 60-70 Fahrenheit. To many midwesterners and northern Europeans/Asians, 20 degrees Fahrenheit is merely uncomfortably cool, and getting to the point of being cold. I have gone out in very...

Actually, walking mechs and powered armors are a good idea in some forms of difficult terrain, as walkers can potentially go through terrain which is signficantly more difficult than what even the most mobile tanks can handle well. Examples include some mountain ranges, as well as swamps which...

Well, Divine Favor and Divine Might were usually Persistant'ed using turn attempts and divine metamagic with some other things thrown in so that they could bypass max spell level restrictions.

Considering that almost every core monster and most non-core monsters that can speak have common as an automatic language, as do all PC races, I'd argue it's almost impossible to underestimate Speak Language, because it is worthless in 99% of situations, and tongues or comprehend languages are...

Every civilized rogue should own a 10' pole, even if it's only use is to render the phrase "I wouldn't touch that with a 10' pole" entirely literal. With a pigsticker on the end, it's useful both as a weapon and as a tool of caution. With a hook on the end, it can make grabbing things easier...

Eh, it's already a 'base class', so why not just leave it as is?

This is a bit from WoTC's designers, but an applicable one, overall. Prestige classes should be on the lower-powered side numerically if they offer spellcasting increases, and higher-powered side if they don't, to get closer to optimum intra-party balance.

I see the expansion slots as an issue here; I can't play a Tiefling Shadowcaster, for example, because I'm sacrificing one slot to play a tiefling, and then 20 slots to play a shadowcaster with shadow magic. (and what's the point of playing a shadowcaster if you don't get the shadow magic??) It...

I've actually asked the Sage about that. It's apparently a more common question than I assumed, but, neither errata, CustServ, nor the Sage have answered that question.

Worse, with a Maximized, Empowered Awaken (it's potentially possible, due to a poor wording) and appropriate pointbuy, you can get trees that have mobility, 18s in Str and Dex + their racial adjustments for being constructs, and 33 + racial adjustment Int, Wis, and Cha scores. This only costs...

That's what I was reading it as, because it seemed out of place otherwise.

This thread is so wrong, something went right. That's really all I can say. Still, some of the variants of the main idea do have some interesting possibilities... Which is why I added a quote from here to my .sig.

Regardless of that, mid-to-high level play for many certainly works out the way it was described in Monte's article. Things like Rope Trick and the 8-hour rest period are game-breaking for certain types of campaigns. Use of "Time-limited" play starts making players feel that the DM is being...

OK, then. It just felt 'off' to have monks suddenly get all these bonuses at level 20 which their flavor up to this point has pretty much gone completely against.

Am I correct in assuming that the monk, at 20th level, is only treated like an outsider for the purpose of some spells and abilities? Because, if not, at level 20, they get 60ft darkvision, and suddenly become proficient in all simple and martial weapons, plus shields if they have any armor...

Cloistered Cleric. It has d6 HD, all of your necessary skills, advances turning, Wizard BAB, gives you lore like a bard, and has a free bonus domain, but costs you your armor and shield proficiencies. It's also OGL, and from UA, which means it's WoTC-made, for those who give a darn about that.

Fruk: Honestly, W/O playtesting, I'd assume that, even with the high requirements, I'd say it's reasonably overpowered, especially if going something like the dread necro that offers simultaneous divine/arcane spellcasting boosts (though, with the numerous level dependent abilities dread necros...

I like that idea Dark Psion. It feels right that flayers should perhaps have some innate variability in physical makeup, especially as they reproduce by a method that is usually considered to be 'adding a template' rather than ignoring base creature stats.

10 + (2 x Con Mod) = Con score or (Con score - 1) From that, we see that the first version in this post is the same as the second version... and would always be the same as the -hps equal to the con score or one less, if the player has an odd Con score. Also, all of your currently posted...

Which would put them in roughly equal capacity as that STR 22 Barbarian door-kicking wise. A SEAL is usually rated at level 10 in d20Modern, which is officially 3 levels less in comparative ability than D&D, in many ways, but for the sake of rough equivalency, lets ignore that fact. At best...
