Hi all. The recent thread on what cleric powers would be appropriate replacements for turn undead finally got me motivated to figure that detail out for my upcoming campaign. I had a lot of trouble figuring out the balance of these powers - turn undead is actually quite difficult to estimate...

One of my players luuuvs the sorcerer, but is extremely grumpy that he has to wait one whole level longer than the wizard to get another spell level. Does anyone have an easy fix for this? I've heard it suggested that one could drop the sorc's spells per day for each level by one, and in...

Hi everyone, Thanks for the help brainstorming my pre-campaign survey. Here's the version I think I'll be sending out. I didn't include a couple suggestions that were excellent but not relevant (eg, I'm doing a homebrew world, so nothing about specific campaign settings here). What level...

Thanks, folks, this is really helpful. I'll post my final version of the survey soon.

I'm putting down the foundations for the campaign I'll be running this fall, and I'm thinking of doing a pre-play survey of the players to see what they want out of the game. Has anyone done anything like this before? Questions I'm thinking of include: What level would you like to begin at...

Thanks, guys. So how about this: BBEG casts air walk, obscuring mist, [see through mist], and hovers over the battlefield. Call lightning storm to pull down bolts on the PCs every round. Control winds prevents both missile weapons and flying PCs from getting to him. Summon air elementals to...

Does anyone know of any feats designed to improve Aid Another? A player wants a bodyguard themed character. I've pondered two possible ones: * +4 to hit/AC instead of +2 * Aid Another is an attack action instead of standard action Balanced? Useful?

I'm building the BBEG for my next campaign, who will be a cleric of the weather god (built with all sorts of goodies from Stormwrack). I'm trying to figure out tactics to use his benefits to best effect - can you folk help me brainstorm? My general sense is this: he gets all kinds of bonuses...

Hi all- I'm considering an all-spontaneous casters campaign, and I'd like to keep quicken spell as an option. I have to confess I've never really understood why sorcs aren't allowed to use it - does anyone have a good handle on the reasoning behind this? Any thoughts on balance issues that...

Thanks guys! Ferrix, that looks exactly like what I was looking for. My intuition says they're a bit overpowered for a feat (they give a good chunk of first-level casting ability), and given their splatbook origin that seems plausible. Any consensus on whether they're ok power-wise?

Hi all- In my next campaign I'd like magic to have a ubiquitious feel, and instead of giving every farmer a level in cleric I'm trying to figure out how to use the feat system. What I'm looking for is a way to give Average Joe a couple of minor magics that they can use to make their day...
