One progression to rule them all I think it will be really neat and work really well if all classes have parallel progressions in everything. In 3e the 1st level fighter's BAB is only 1 point above the wizard's - wtf? Here I will argue that that progression can be achieved simply by improving...

I'm not sure if this is any different form what the previous posters have said, but I strongly believe wizards will still be able to learn *lots* of per-day spells. And other classes may be able to learn a similar number of per-day powers. I also believe that with at-will spells/powers and...

I remember reading the same, but I can't say I like the sound of it. It will be so much neater and make much more sense if spells and powers simply scale with level (or half level or whatever), that way you won't have to ponder whether to get the power now or wait until it's stronger. That will...

QTF. Assuming we're talking about a class who leads his comrades in battle and has reasonable skills outside combat as well, I guess it should be called a ... ? Ok, I must admit it doesn't really fit any archetype for me. "Drummer" is not exciting. I wouldn't mind "Myrmidion" (apparantly a...

The calcluations are probably fine but when you add up medians you don't get the mean (expected) number of charges. Anyway, the math you need is actually much simpler: On a d6, the expected number of rolls to roll a 6 is 6, just like the expected number of rolls to roll a 20 on a d20 is 20...

Hi Nifft, thanks for some really good comments. I'm actually not too keen on Impromptu SA either (let him take the invisibility invocation), it was really just a leftover from the Arcane Trickster - gone now. I have also taken some of your other suggestions; delayed DR and removed Fiendish...

I have a player who wants to multiclass his rogue into warlock and the later take arcane trickster levels. I'm fine with that and will make it possible to enter the AT prc as a R3/W4. However, I'm considering offering a more smooth progression instead, which will give the special abilities which...

6 below 30%, 5 above 80% (or 90% except for some confusion about saves)... It should be really easy to please the median voter :D

Yes, I think this is very likely. It's a very clean way to do it and it is somewhat similar to how it's done in Bo9S (maneuvers are per encounter, stances are kind of at-will). Off the wall: Would it work to simply let all spells come from one list but work at different caster-levels depending...

Just say no to polynomials! Somehow, a quadratic or cubed progression doesn't seem very appealing compared to an exponential one. Polynomial progressions will seem to slow down as P(n+1)/P(n) decreases while the relative power-gain will be constant for an exponential progression. I think it's...

Frostbite. Swedish is usually very similar to Danish. Comes from [at] fryse = [to] freeze. But I'd go with Nigliktok for a white dragon. Inuit is the obvious choice! The finnish suggestion just sounds more like a giant...

The CHA scores of the PCs in our current party, using 28 point-buy 12, 14, 14, 14, 16

I am considering letting a rogue/warlock get into the arcane trickster prestige class a little easier than usual. As in she will be able to start as a Rogue 1/Warlock 4/Scout 1 such that she has 2d6 precision damage (sneak attack and skirmish), deceive item from the warlock, and various skills...

I hope so too! I am all for fewer but scaling spells. :D The main combat spells could work a lot like Bo9S maneuvers, e.g. you can ready a certain number of spells from your known spells and then use each once (or use any a fixed number of times) per encounter before you have to refresh in...

What about Spot? Ok, thanks for the replies I had missed that paragraph. But then what if the opponent makes a DC 20 spot check? The spot skill (SRD) states that: "A Spot check result higher than 20 generally lets you become aware of an invisible creature near you, though you can’t actually...

Ok, invisibility is confusing me. What happens if a character in melee somehow turns invisible, moves around his opponent, and attacks? 1. Does the opponent get AoO for the (invisible) movement through his threatened squares? 2. Is the opponent considered flatfooted for the attack? 3. What if...

So many interesting options, here's what I think I'll go with (I will also try to remove the dwarf charisma penalty, probably move it to dexterity because they are a slow medium race and to make them less superiour warriors) : Half-orc changes: No penalty to charisma. Charisma is as much...

This is a simple question, and while I know it has been brought up before, I can't find it within the open posts :( I want give the half-orc a little boost because I find it to be a little on the weak side and would like to hear what others have done?

I think this (my option for divine casters) is quite similar to the option from Unearthed Arcana: Spontaneous divine caster: The number of spells per day is increased by one for each spell level (not counting domain spell slots). Clerics and druids know the same number of spells as sorcerers...
