I would also like to say that Storm Shield feels too weak to be a Druid 5, W/S 4 spell. Adding a few weather-related adverse conditions (blinded and deafened for 1d6 rounds), or improving the duration to 10 min/level, or lowering the level to Druid 3, W/S 3 spell, any of these might shape it up...

Adding to the Fertility Domain granted-power, I could see a +2 to saves vs Death Magic / negative energy / level loss, lasting for so long as the Fertility blessing is in force. (It's the power of generative Life, quite handy against sapping Death.) That is of less concern to a midwife, but of...

I suppose trying a few swaps for regular maneuvers would be pretty interesting, but I think you might want to leave stances out of the mix. Stances are pretty potent. Unless, of course, you're getting into monsters with class levels. :) Then bring on the stances.. To answer that last question...

Nordom Forever After playing PST, I like Modrons quite a lot. The idea of a group of PCs picking out "Their" Modron, perhaps putting a hat on it or something (or draping a Continual Light-enhanced lei across it) and then seeing if they can get that one to be the survivor and champion of the...

Good point. So these guys need their own distinct name, since calling them "half-giants" leaves them open for an unintended power boost, in the form of those immunities you mentioned. (And here I was looking for some minor weakness instead. I goofed.) Any thoughts on a diffferent potential...

As mild limitations go, worth a fractional, "that feels about right" reduction in LA, I probably wouldn't reduce the LA of evil outsiders, or monstrous humanoids by some arbitrary .2 or .3 since that's adding more hassle to the poor DM. (Rangers only *wish* they made so vital a difference as to...

If you rounded this out with stating that the race has no specific racial weapon (Dwarven Waraxe comes to mind) that is exotic for others, but martial for this race.. that might be an acceptable mild limitation that brings it down to a nice +0. It feels slightly more powerful than a +0 L.A...

I like Brain's idea. I have another idea which is more powerful, and then another idea which is a lot more powerful. First idea: Instead of Trap Sense, and its progression, simply give +2 hp to the Barbarian each level Trap Sense is mentioned, lasts while raging. (Not as cool as Brain's idea.)...

Ah, drat. Well, then, perhaps that takes us to a house-rule. *shrug*

I think, IMHO, the "one-power-at-a-time" limitation keeps the power of the Weapon Augment Crystal under control, and that removing that restriction leads to chaos. However.. Adding neat powers to a Weapon Augment Crystal, under *extremely* limited circumstances, might be fun and acceptable...

When I perused the relevant pages, I came up with a solution that seems to fit the intended progression. At those upper even Crusader levels (16, 18, 20), when the option to exchange an old maneuver for one of the new allowable range of maneuvers came up, why not swap out an old stance for a...

Another late vote for the Aurumvorax - One of these can be either a really nice treasure, or a pretty amazing animal companion. Buffing one of them up makes for some wild "Get it off me!" combat. :)

I suspect you are looking for this, "The Top 100 Things I'd Do If I Ever Became An Evil Overlord". http://www.eviloverlord.com/lists/overlord.html Enjoy. :)

GROUP ONE "THINGS FOR YOUR FEET" 1. Sandals of Sprinting - 3xday swift action to gain +30 enhancement bonus to land speed (max double your speed) until start of your next turn. 250 gold, worth perhaps as much as 400 to a Scout or some crazed Barbarian. 2. Boots of Sidestepping - 3xday swift...

5-10 ranks spans a lot of ground between "passable" and "competent professional", and as you approach 12 (and 15) ranks, you leave behind the regular trained Joes and advance into the respected and frequently deferred-to honored masters. And above them, the Masters. Skill-rank magic items can...

Definitely Solo. He did notice he needs to be a Large-sized creature to be a Reaping Mauler, right? That particular prerequisite is so frequently forgotten..

"..one character dies and most drop to near death levels." That would be a definite clue to the party that this is Dangerous. If that happened to a party I was in, I'd be getting mighty cautious about how many foes to take on at once, where's my escape route, etc. And the Healers aren't going...

Mountain Tombstone. No pre-reqs, and the second-best name. :) You can spend a lot of time building up requisites to some of these end-game maneuvers, and it's good to have one that you could just take on a whim, "Tired of all this Shadow stuff - I want a wallop."

Those look pretty interesting - and apparently your PCs aren't taking Leadership very much. :) I would like to say that Ruin looks exceptionally unappetizing to me. Is this reversible? A good HP roll is wonderful - a bad one, pretty much permanently weakening. (Note: I am pretty firmly on the...

I like that "buy a feat" cost. It lets characters branch out more at lower levels, which can be more interesting and fun. If you've had a death in the party, and you'd like to invest in your character while your "new ally" gets up to the potency you'd all like her to be, buying a feat or two...
