I think Lhorgrim has really hit the nail on the head. He even provided a way for you to keep the campaign 'grounded in realism' (as realistic as mecha armored police can be). I would say a good way to do this would be to have the press constantly spinning their actions in a bad light and the...

Yeah, what he said.

Disclaimer: I am nowhere close to being a balance expert. End Disclaimer I really like this spell. It has a very cinematic feel to it. I would like to see the 1 ray/round restriction go away. (and it will when I steal it for my campaign) I like the idea of a 17th level arcane caster...

Sorry Gary, in '73 and '74 I was 2 and 3 respectively. :)

While I do understand and appreciate that WotC is not some sort of hive-mind, I do think that when an article is posted on the company's official site, it becomes more than a single author's opinion, it becomes company opinion. Also I did say So the easy fix is for the DM to take the class out...

Archade, you rock.

I would probably price it at 40-60% of the standard metamagic rod. The majority of the materials would still have to be used but it would be a much less useful item. IMHO 50% would be good. The problem would be that if you have a character that only metamagically enhances a certain spell, you...

Stick with LG I agree with the majority of the posters here. Keep the halfling Paladin LG. I don't see a problem with Ranged Smite. I would probably put the caveat that like a ranged sneak attack the wee paladin would have to be within 30' to use the ranged smite.

I use a combination of what I see here in the post. The two main being, start small and work out, and a top-down approach. I tend to have a general outline of the entire world (or at least the known world) and a highly detailed small area where the PC's start. I like this because I can then...

Yep Well Matefuego, What can I say? I agree with you, it irks me too. This is WotC saying, "Hey there, we made a totally unbalanced class to make the page count for our book. Thanks for buying the book with your hard earned money, but don't use the class." They should definitely errata...

Went back to my roots I was tempted by both Scout and Ranger, but in the end I went back to the days of yore when Elves were basically a class that was more or less a Fighter/Wizard (man, I miss those days). I voted Duskblade.

Sweet Ahhhh. Finally got my update. Thanks! I have to agree, that I love the party dynamics. There is just enough interpersonal tension to keep it interesting without it detracting from the story. Out of curiosity, is that how it plays out at the table as well? Or is there a certain...

Middle School Baby I started playing in 1983 in the 6th grade. My school had a teacher who was running D&D as a lunch hour elective (as in what do you do when the other half of the school is at lunch). The only thing I can say about that is: God Bless you Mr. Powell!!! You introduced me to...

Bandwagon I will go ahead and jump on the bandwagon here and say that I'm really excited about the STAP and LOVED "There is no honor". I was actually able to convince our group's DM that he needed a break and that means that I will be able to run STAP starting in about 6-8 weeks. Woohoo! I...

So Open Minded immediately grants you +5 skill points. If you take it at 1st level is it included in the x4 skill points at 1st level (for a total of 20 bonus skill points)? I would rule that it doesn't but was wondering if anyone more versed in the rules than I had a RAW interpetation.

Thanks Wraith. :)

I don't have my books in front of me, but I thought survival could be used to track anything with a DC of 20 and under. You only needed the track feat to track something with a DC higher than 20. Maybe I'm just giddy from working all night or maybe we just house ruled it that way.

I had some comments but instead I only have one: I agree with JiCi's comments...Especially about converting this to a prestige class for Warlocks.

Wystan, I like the general idea but have some suggestions, questions: Why give them proficiency with Light Armor and then state that they can't use class abilities (AC Bonus) unless they are unarmored? Also, on a related note, I would modify the increased speed to NOT include medium armor. Low...

Airwalkrr, I agree that the wizard can be any of those things if he prepares the proper spells ahead of time. However, that is the argument I would use to keep them spontaneous casters. That is their balancing factor (if you will) they DON'T have the versatility of the wizard, but what they...
