    Dark Fantasy with the standard races?

    Halflings have a lot of potential in dark fantasy. In fact, the baggage they carry with them, could be an asset. Little people make good victims. And even more importantly, with that neutral alignment of theirs, they'll mind little, when it comes to slitting throats to preserve the safety of...

    Your Experience With Red Hand of Doom

    that's exactly what I ended up doing. In fact, for RHoD, I'd consider craft points a -must-. I'm still in the middle of running it. Been at it since...early december, I think. Up until the last session, we had an all-caster party. Then the greenspawn razorfiends hit. God, those things are...

    Lifepath

    didn't hero builder's guidebook have a decent like, base lifepath system? Here's a proposed mechanic for how many times you roll on the chart. It could also let's say....handle story mechanics during extended downtime(which happens quite frequently in my games, since my players enjoy taking...

    Eldritch Knight core class - help me build

    This class would be broken if it allowed casting of 7th and 8th level spells, JiCi. Can't have your cake and eat it too. Besides, level 6 is the final level where fighter-relevant spells show up. Here's a rough outline of what I think the class should be. I based this on the paladin, giving...

    Lethal Combat, Take 2

    No man goes to war wielding nothing more than a knife. A soldier would consider that -suicide-. To succeed with a knife, you've gotta have -training-. And finesse. Especially against an equal foe. A knife fighter is a finesse fighter. They're taking rogue levels, like it or not. They've...

    What's the Best Fix for Power Attack?

    I think that the requested-restricted types of posts are necessary in this thread. However, I think all points should be made respectfully and earnestly. As for two weapon fighting and sword and board, there's a lot of incentive for both, and they can even overlap a little bit with shield...

    What's the Best Fix for Power Attack?

    Actually, I'd say at low levels, PA as-is isn't horribly unbalancing. Level 4 fighter with PA. bastard sword with and without shield again. +3 strength mod +4 bab +1 weapon weapon focus +1 weapon spec +2 damage sword and board: +5 to hit, damage ranging from 11-20 damage. two-handed: +5...

    What gameworld would you want to be in?

    Whatever setting a certain sleazy book by the infamous Valar publishing sourcebook that I will not name might be supported in. *THREAD OVER*

    What's the Best Fix for Power Attack?

    str bonus: +4 BAB: 10-10=0 weapon: +3 weapon weapon focus/improved weapon focus: +1/+2 Weapon spec: +2 damage with just a basic +3 weapon at level 10, and not much else, the fighter has something like a +9/+4 to hit with his attacks. if he's going sword and board and using a bastard sword...

    What's the Best Fix for Power Attack?

    Sir, I think you need to crack open the BO9S. Now...fighters aren't wizards. and we don't want them with the same flavor. Power attack's main problem, as has been shown before is the obscene amounts of -consistent- damage it can do. However, I think that this is the fighter's biggest theme...

    Could this be the future format of 4th Edition D&D?

    jesus. this topic needs to be closed already or something. I like the idea, but now that I think about it, I think its a bad idea. Too cost-prohibitive.

    Could this be the future format of 4th Edition D&D?

    I actually like this idea. A lot. As long as its done right, and not stupidly. It would be a great way to package miniatures, at least. I mean...think of it this way: What if with your class splatbook, you got a magic-involved or mage-centric adventure or two, a couple of battlemats for the...

    Have you given your kids fantasy names?

    double hilarity because a friend of mine is playing a freaking monk named Barack Obama.

    Core Religion Survivor, round one

    Fharlanghn has to go. He's the most blatant of the name pun deities, at least to me. I mean....FAR LONG ONE? God of travelling. Right. Lame. At least give him a better name and he'd be cool.

    "It's a joke name, sir."

    ....This is hilarious. Yesterday, a friend of mine created a monk for a friend's game, freaking named his monk Barack Obama.

    Your favorite nonstandard races?

    I agree. The whole "human, but with something different" or "standard race, but optimized for a certain class" thing is really lame. I like races that people generally want to take for flavor reasons. For some reason, Kobolds are at the top of this list. They're about as equally popular as...

    Microlite20 : the smallest thing in gaming

    ...at the risk of opening up a can of worms here....what do you think of a multiclassing mechanic? Something like...being able to multiclass every 5 levels. Start classes off with a +2 their skill at level 1, and giving them a +1 at every 5 level interval...and scaling class abilities by...
