Can I trade the people in for more books?

An RP interlude and Session 4 are now up.

Weak compared to what, though?

Here is Dissonant now: Dissonant Most musicians strive for perfect, harmonious tones, but the dissonant embraces duality and conflict in music and in life. Drawing on psionic power and bardic lore, the dissonant creates a powerful, albeit unharmonious, whole. Hit die: d6 Requirements...

This is true, but is that a good thing or a bad thing? Or just a thing thing? I'm working on Dissonant now, I think I've struck a good theme for it. It's all about being able to do two conflicting things at once, as a dissonance is two conflicting notes played at the same time. I think I'm...

Flexibility is power on its own, and you can get unbalanced pretty quickly by adding several options. If you don't like the take-feat-to-get-option mechanic, then why play D&D?

I would do this if I intended to completely drop all the manifestor levels, but there are SO many psionic powers that add to claw and bite attacks that I think this is not appropriate. I could have done something wonky where the Metallurge can absorb weapons and armor and take on their bonuses...

Yeah, they're not publishable feats, but I think they might work well if I ever run a game to suit them.

So, "let me nerf these feats and then complain that they're too weak." I purposefully left the bonus stand as an all-around bonus. The defense feats are stronger than Dodge (granted no one takes Dodge for the Dodge feat, they take it because they need it as a prerequisite for something . . ...

46. Run a campaign so that you can demand someone else be the first one to run 4e.

Oh, and here's the short one: --------- The Majestic The Majestic is an individual that has decided to forgo training in skills and special abilities to realize their maximum racial potential. After a character begins this prestige class, if they take a level in another class they can never...

Okay, here's another: Vitalist Some psions become fascinated with the processes and energies of life; in the course of time these psions often become Vitalists. They give up some of the focused intensity of a true psion to gain a greater connection with nature and senses which allow them to...

How about this: Forbearing Defense Pre-reqs: Combat Reflexes, Combat Expertise When using Combat expertise to exchange attack bonus for AC bonus, you may give up the ability to make attacks of opportunity to gain a +1 dodge bonus to AC for the round. Improved Forbearing Defense Pre-reqs...

I'm working on some new psionic prestige classes for my game. Here's the first one so I can get some feedback. -------------- Metallurge Metal is one of the primary instruments of war, and this fact is felt most keenly by the metallurge, who strives to achieve greater efficiency and power in...

Oh, okay, that makes more sense now.

Um, where does that 'not' belong?

Session 3 is now up. These are fun to write, but I suppose they tend to make for dull reading.

No, you don't, as most mobs don't work to create elegant tactical situations. I was thinking this theme would work best for a campaign where you fight a lot of human enemies, like a swashbuckling game. It could also be nasty if you stack it with Rogue abilities like Opportunist . . . the...

The idea is that you use the opportunity your enemy gives you to strengthen your position rather than attack. And, yes, they'd count against your opportunities for the round. The idea came to me when I was thinking about Steven Brust's description of the Lyorn fighting style in The Phoenix...

I had a lightbulb moment today and came up with some odd feats all around the theme of not taking an attack of opportunity when you can. The language is a little rough, but I think you can get the gist. Forbearing Defense Requirements: Combat Reflexes When you have the option of making an...
