On reflection, I agree partly. A creature in the 5' square at the edge of the web is in the web. It must make a STR check to move and for each round devoted to moving, it moves 5 feet or more if it beats DC 15. The description doesn't say that this replaces its complete move, counts as more...

Hm. So, for the purpose of the rules, a single transcendent Highlander-like moment occurs when Krusk gains a level, during which he simultaneously gains skills, feats and class features and already has them? I don't like it. This isn't quantum physics here. Assuming things to happen "at the same...

See PHB, p. 58, "Level Advancement". This gives you the order in which you must make changes when gaining a new level. There is an equivalent list for 1st level on page 6. If the prerequisite falls later in the list than the consequent choice (for example, choosing a prestige class before you...

The way that I was thinking to systematise it: Magic items currently cost XP. Killing or otherwise overcoming monsters gains you XP. So take the XP cost and translate that, for a caster of the minimum level to make the item, to a CR of monster that that character would have to defeat to gain...

Kick off all three, they clearly each have a large number of people who want them gone.

I like buff spells a lot better than I like magic items. In a wide range of situations they provide a reason to have a spellcaster along that aligns far better with what sorcerors and priests traditionally did.

Certainly, as long as it's a demon of Lawful Good alignment. The code of conduct is a moral stricture, not a spell effect, so the [Evil] and [Chaotic] subtypes don't enter into it.

She can't even design a proper arrow case. Away with the unicorn god.

I've added a couple of paladin-like variants in a new section of my site: Paladin of Supreme Order: Mentioned a while ago in the context of Serenity Chaos Knight: An idea I posted a long time ago for the Dragon Lords of Melniboné game. It had some interesting implications when I started...

I really like Iron Kingdoms, but I'd like to think it uses steam power as an aesthetic element, not a technology. I won't say I've never seen mock-technology done well, but nothing immediately springs to mind.

A cohort can take any feat that other characters can take. Note that the cohort's followers are not loyal to the PC and won't necessarily even accept orders from him.

Ehlonna, for being an annoying goody-good travesty of a nature deity and a backup elf god.

There's no need to climb down any logic chains, since we have a specific and explicit rule: Whatever the term might mean in other contexts, for the purpose of flurry of blows, special monk weapons are the weapons on that list within the brackets. Neither unarmed strike nor unarmed attack are...

If those are the only two options, systematic alignment all the way.

It makes a lot of sense as a house rule (especially for monks with certain feats), but unfortunately initiating a grapple is neither an unarmed strike nor a special monk weapon.

Yes, it is that important.

A few of the options are close enough: 1. Good-aligned and Lawful Neutral nations have no trade with monsters. That leaves 3a. A great many people, in the wider sense - especially humans and halflings, but including neutral to evil individuals of every race - will trade with anyone who is even...

Dark.Matter has what you need.

That's a good point. Not every PC can immediately name a 10th level wizard who can get him in to talk to an 18th level wizard, if required. It could easily modify the reactions of NPC wizards from the same school or provide a source of useful rumours and trade talk.

I prefer (as player and DM) for wizards learning new spells to have some reasonable means of access to that spell. Either they have a copy of it (scroll or captured spellbook), their tutor has a copy, or they have considerable reference works or access to special knowledge on related spells...
