Hello, I was wondering if it seems fair enough to swap out a Druid's spellcasting for the maneuvers/stances of a crusader from the Book of Nine Swords. The druid in question is using the Player's Handbook 2 variant Shapeshift instead of Wildshape, and that's a significant point considering a...

I was thinking of begging my DM to allow me to cut down on druid spells. Already am using the PH2 Shapeshift variant, but I want the 4e per encounter/at will system in place. So I was thinking of something along the lines of this: At 1st level and every other level, two powers from these...

I had a feeling humans would be the end all be all. If you come up with your Ethnicity content, please post it! As for ToB, a lot of it is a little too flashy and magical. Teleport, fireball, the scent ability... too magical in my opinion. I love it for high fantasy campaigns (love love...

Thanks from me as well. The days till June pass more quickly because of your work, devote 4e rumormongers! I salute thee!

I recently started playing the computer game Titan Quest, so my mind's been on the Greek/Roman mythology. I'll throw out my two coppers. For the ranger, I'd recommend the scout from Complete Adventurer. Or the Wilderness Rogue. PrC wise, of the Complete Warrior I'd recommend the Dervish, the...

Thanks for the feedback, I'm just surprised that it's positive. Yay late night brain storming! If I can get my DM to approve of the Path mechanic, I'll be in good shape! As for your idea Claudius Gaius regarding reverting to old habits, I like it. They can either temporarily take the negative...

Frukathka, I've got a few more ideas at the bottom of this post, and I highly recommend checking out Nifft's awesome content for his variant arcane archer class here. I agree with both Tyonisius and Claudius Gaius that that cutting the first level spellcasting and reducing the HD to a d6 is a...

Ouch! Thank you for the suggestions/reality check. That really puts things into perspective (no sarcasm). If the first level of spellcasting is removed, would that even be enough to make it on par with other PrCs - at least in terms of the Daggerspell Mage from the Complete Adventurer, which I...

Hello! This thread started out with me trying to once more design a Prestige Class for my SO that is a version of the arcane archer. My first try was the Shooting Stars of Morwel. However, I came across the thought of turning the PrC into a mix between a racial substitution level and a...

The feats look solid to me. One point that I don't like is in the "special" part of the descriptions, and how gaining the feats multiple times is worded. If this was to mimic sneak attack... You can take this feat multiple times. Each time your skirmish attack improves by 1D6 damage, up to a...

Great flavor for this class, I've always been intrigued by the blind warrior archetype. However, bonuses to attack, damage, AC, and reflex saves is a bit much, especially as the rare insight bonus type. Once per encounter practically means that every combat you'll benefit from the ability...

That's really awesome Nifft, a useable and fun arcane archer!!! My first draft was exceedingly similar when I first started designing this class (albeit mine was way overpowered, allowed arrow touch and combined casting at level 1, and full casting with a medium BAB... yeah, I was insane). I...

Hmm, I agree with and understand that full casting progression with extra abilities is dangerously weighing towards unbalanced. However, a one level dip really won't help much. The ability to use a number of 1st level or greater spell slots to, in essence, make a Rapid Shot attack at a +2 bonus...

Thanks again for the input! Here are some proposed changes to the prestige class. I'm really hoping to keep the first level of spellcasting progression, so I'm curious to see if the changes reduce the power sufficiently. As for the Knight of Stars requirement, do you think that should be there...

Thanks Quartz! I tried basing this class off of the daggerspell mage from the Complete Adventurer in terms of balance. I don't know if going from 6 skill points per level to 2 is a good enough trade off for a bump from a d6 to a d8 hit die, but that's what I was going for. It also has two good...

Greetings! This is my second pass (on November 27th) at a prestige class I'm designing. It's a version of the arcane archer that is much more spell focused, with a lower BAB. Constructive criticism is always appreciated, and that which was already given really has helped! Namely to really...

As for worrying about XP being on the cards, I was referring to Olgar Shiverstone posting a theoretical example of quest cards a few posts above my first. My apologies! That idea just scared the warlock out of me. I too fear the CRPG-dom. But some things could be well implemented, so I'm not...

I think the card idea has potential. I do NOT think cards should have XP rewards written on them, just perhaps promised rewards if any from the quest giver. I don't want a video game, I want D&D, and knowing the rewards to every little quest in explicit detail does not ring to me of something...

I would like to take the time, and in fact will take the time, to declare the very obvious - EN World forum folk, who have a post count greater or equal to my post count +1, are extremely intelligent and humorous folk. Obviously this is my attempt to demean you all. May the trolladrins bless you...

Mantle of SR There might be more, but the universal item of spell resistance that I know of is a wondrous item: Mantle of Spell Resistance. SR 21. Hope that helps.
