I guess it's an option mainly used in emergencies only. When you absolutely must have one more fireball. :D - DJ

FYI and also for comparison: In Monte Cook's Arcana Unearthed all spellcasters have the ability to convert a higher level spell slot into two lower level slots. Also, three lower lvl slots can be coverted into a one higher level slot. Slots gained with conversion cannot be further converted...

Heh, you really need to put this in your signature. Saves you some typing when you post "See the sig!" in random threads. ;) Even an empty post by Diaglo would work for 90% of the forum readers... :D - DJ

Hi, my name is Kimmo and I'm a rules lawyer. However, I'm also the DM and I use my superioir rules knowledge to beat the PCs into bloody pulp until they read the PHB and learn the rules. :cool: IMHO, players who are *not* rules lawyers are annoying and slow the game down even more than those...

Expanded Psionics Handbook: Yes I'm hoping for a working and balanced psioncs system (finally!). D&D Map Folio I: No I have no need for this. Complete Divine: Probably If it's better than CW. Eberron Campaign Setting: Yes I like everything I've seen so far (except Extreme Explorer, ugh)...

My wish list for the records: Expanded Psionics Handbook: Yes D&D Map Folio I: No Complete Divine: Yes Eberron Campaign Setting: Yes Planar Handbook: Maybe Races of Stone: Unlikely D&D Map Folio II: No D&D Basic Set: Unlikely Monster Manual III: Unlikely Frostburn : Maybe Eberron Whispers of...

DMs! What is best in life?! To TPK adventurers, see their character sheets torn before you, and to hear the lamentation of the players! Sorry... I failed my will save... ;) - DJ

Don't forget the added benefits: - Using it on-the-fly (no preparation/increased casting time). - not needing a high caster level in order to use the feat (7th lvl for a 4th lvl slot in this case). You are right, this variant does use many spell slots. That's why I thought of adding the slot...

One of the groups I play with had big problems with alignment. They are used to RPGs without them, but I'm not sure if this was the source of the problems. Instead of role-playing their characters as they liked, they looked at the alignment first and role-played "as their alignments dictated"...

So it is. :uhoh: Mea culpa. I kind of like the idea of a low-level caster blowing everything he has in one big bang... The metamagic feats are still expensive to use, but using this variant you could take for example Maximise Spell at first level and get some use out of it before 7th level...

Hello everyone, I'm trying to decide whether to use a meatmagic variant from WotC's Unearthed Arcana. As spellcasters are already pretty powerful, I'm afraid this change might shift them into the brokenland (tm), so I decided to ask the opinions of the rules savvy ENWorld members before making...

Here's my list. Implemented into my game immediately: - Turning Undead variant: Level Check (finally!!) - Reducing Level Adjustments - Massive Damage (con+3xHD) - Spontaneous Metamagic: Extra Spell Slots Variant Will most likely use in future: - Specialist Wizard Variants - Weapon Group...

Hi everyone, Here's what Sean K Reynolds thinks about the VP/WP system: -------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. One, it makes battles MUCH tougher, because any critical hit automatically goes to wounds (based on Con) instead of vitality (based on level). That...

Well this is going to be disappointingly long list. I'm a combination of a D&D/d20 -nut and a mad collector, which has made me buy many things on a whim. Oh well... :o Books that I really regret buying: Deities & Demigods -- I wanted rules on how to create stats for gods. I never found them...

That explains a lot. :D Compatability with WotC products is always good, even if some of them are a bit... substandard. *cough*deitiesanddemigods*cough* The idea behind the Divine Ranks is ok. It's the execution which I find lacking. Divine Ranks in D&Dgods are like a single god-template...

Howdy! (That was quick. :) ) Ah. No worries then. :) Now I see. I thought "feat" and "gift" were the same thing. My mistake, sorry. Yeah, a few of them are pretty far from others power-wise. As I mentioned above, I was under the impression this was the method you are using in IH. You...

Why "Meta" instead of "Epic"? Isn't the term "epic" in the SRD now, so you could use it? Changing the terms, which WotC uses is going to create confusion among your future customers. "Epic feat" is already a recognisable D&D term, whereas "Meta gift" is known to nobody. If you expand the...

Alternate Sorcerer Check out this thread on WotC boards: http://boards1.wizards.com/showthread.php?threadid=120619 These guys have had extensive discussions about the sorcerer and have (IMHO) created a nice alternate sorcerer. Even if you don't like their version, you might get some ideas...

Ecl +2 Hi UK, A long time lurker de-cloaking... :) FRCS has Dark Elves, Duergar (both +2) and Svirfneblin (+3) and no extra HDs. Or am I misunderstanding your question? :o BTW, congrats on v4. Keep up the great work! We can't wait for Immortals Handbook... :D - DJ PS: You've propably...

What would you add to the writeup, which would require five additional levels? Looking at the M&M book now (yay :D ), I'd propably give Hulk a good Protection (perhaps replacing some Super Constitution ranks) and *maybe* even more ranks in Regeneration. However, I don't see how my changes...
