ogre is to ogre mage as troll is to troll mage?

not exactly readying in this way prevents you from attacking, but if you dont have a ranged attack for example you arent attacking anyway, so you didnt give up anything. In fact you still double moved towards the archer and made them auto-miss their highest BAB attack. If readying a move...

would you allow the same solution if the scenario was an archer shooting at you?

are the other characters in the group underdeveloped(very un-optimized)? Is the chain wielder the only one ever in the spotlight? if so, i'd like to second Lord Zardoz's comment to speak with the player and see what her thoughts are about spreading the spotlight around remember, throwing...

that sounds like the game 'Ker Plunk', if anyones interested in finding it

Overall it looks pretty good You dont need to bump monster CR's, just give the players a negative level adjustment (should be less work in the long run) Griffith has good suggestions too. Consider switching wholly to Conan RPG or Iron Heroes.

He did address that, in the second to last paragraph ("Finally, you could"). He presents it as a combat option that does not require a feat. If your goal isnt weapon speed simulation, and is actually to buff light/onehanded weapons you should look for the threads on balancing 2handedweapons...

the current height of the tower could be used to figure the bonus granted (i.e. more risk, more reward) also, you dont have to use all the blocks, maybe only 6 rows high. you'd still have to give out lots more action points for any real chance of collapse

I think the suits as tangible objects/shapes is important, and basing those objects on life's pervasive intangibles (like emotions or sins) is quite powerful Kahuna also brings up a good point, all the suits symbols should have silhouettes that are simple and distinct some ideas in these...

the idea of using Jenga (or another game; pickup-sticks maybe) is interesting but i just cant see enough action points being used each session for the tower to ever collapse

Sean Reynolds has a rant on the subject the last two paragraphs apply specifically

whats a kryptonian's level adjustment? doesnt 'Superman 2' disprove this?

agreed

ask a moderator to move this to the rules forum instead of the house rules you'll get much better responses there a sing that made skiprocks would be pretty cool

i agree with Nifft you shouldnt get something for nothing that said, i think barbarians have trap sense and uncanny dodge for the same reason so i'd allow dropping trap sense, UD, and IUD in exchange for a useful ability

haha my thoughts exactly

wizards used to do their testing on owls and bears

well, perhaps the feat is better spent elsewhere but... if you're a sword and shield fighter using a bastard sword or dwarven waraxe (another feat for all but dwarves), monkey grip gives you +4 dmg (on avg) for -2 to hit. essentially 2 for 1 power attack with a one handed weapon. and if you can...

true, but its highly likely that the character does my point is that powerwise, sneak attack makes up over half of power gained in the last 16 levels of rogue. The rogue specials and IUD arent lost, they just have access delayed (well, likely a couple of the rogue specials are lost) Bard...

well, i guess we disagree the rogue already got Evasion, Trapfinding, Trap Sense, and Uncanny Dodge out of the way in the first 4 levels. So that leaves Improved Uncanny Dodge, 4 special abilities, and several increases to Trap Sense (whats that ability even worth?) Bard spellcasting, even at...
