Hi, Wulf. First, I really like your idea for "fixing" multiple attacks in 3.x. This is one thing that has bothered me about 3.x since first playing 3.x at levels high enough to have multiple attacks. Above, you and Kid Charlamagne were talking about Two-Weapon Fighting's impact on this. I...

I'll admit that the name of the class could be better. Thanks for the input.

Interesting observation. To me, there are some differences between Battle Caster and the Armored Arcanist feats (the focus on a single school of magic being one). I could imagine re-writing the feats with different pre-requisites and expanding the schools of magic to which they apply. Or, I...

I really like Ryan Stoughton's solution (for 3.x) of capping levels at 6th and then only advancing by feats and treasure. See my sig for a link to Epic Sixth. As far as I'm concerned, Epic Sixth is a wonderful solution. A level cap that allows for aditional character advancement in a...

To all those that worked on putting OSRIC together... :DTHANK YOU!:D One of my friends and I have been discussing the various issues that we keep encountering playing Third Edition and keep trying to houserule. When discussing it the other day, I listed off a large number of things from AD&D...

If they can really pull this off using the 4E rules, I'll be impressed! And, I really hope that they can!

Thanks for the reply, StreamOfTheSky!:D It was just a thought I had while reading some house-rules about 5' steps between Whirlwind Attacks and Cleaves. To me, BAB is also a measure of combat competence. So, I thought that if an unexperienced combatant (low BAB) can only make one 5' step per...

What do you think of allowing characters to make one five-foot step per round per five points of BAB (in addition to the single 5' step that all characters get)? So, a 5th level fighter could take two 5' steps or one 10' step (provoking no AoO's). So, a 10th level fighter could take three 5'...

Amazon Taking Pre-Orders Dark Sun Prism Pentad Looks like WotC is planning to re-release the Dark Sun Prism Pentad. Book 1 is already out. And, starting in November the other books follow. Search for Prism Pentad on Amazon to see what I'm looking at. This could be a good sign that there...

I like to think of each of the hydra's heads as a separate entity that threatens all of the hydra's normal area. Therefore, each head may make an attack of opportunity when anything is done to provoke an AoO in the area threatened by the heads. To me, it seems natural that each head can make...

Amen, Ari!

To fix the dagger with armor as DR... Why not change the DR from X/- to X/critical? A critical hit automatically overcomes the damage reduction?

Thanks! The trial death and dying rules are part of what got me thinking of expanding the disabled range from exactly zero to a range that grows with level. I tried a larger range, at first, but it made goblins way too hard to kill. We spent about 6 hours on a fight with about 40 goblins...

Thank you for the response.:D More specifics? Hmmm... Where do I begin? Our group only gets together to play about once every 4 to 8 weeks. This past weekend, when we were playing, we were experimenting with a house-rule that expanded the "Disabled" stage as it concerns hit points to an...

Trading Save Progressions Assuming no multiclassing, would you allow player's to select their character's good save(s) progressions, rather than just accepting the default? What are the possible pitfalls and/or balance considerations? For example, the fighter normally has a good fortitude...

It can be done. We're using healing surges. However, the use of healing surges has promted us to switch over to a homebrewed variant of Vitality and Wound Points (similar to what's in Unearthed Arcana). Healing surges replenish vitality, but do nothing for wounds. Magical healing, though...

Thanks for sharing the idea, though.:D I'd never thought of it.

IN the case of a warlock that has it from an invocation, I'd use a wisdom-based skill check as if the warlock had ranks in scent. How many? That's up to you, but I'd probably go with the number of ranks the warlock had in either spot or listen (whichever was higher). That or I'd go with the...

Seems much better. I was having trouble even reading through threads, before. Way too slow. I was beginning to question whether it was a problem with my computer, but it works fine on the other sites I visit. Glad you're looking into it.

I really like the idea, though I would cut it back to 1d6 plus 1d6 per 3 cleric levels. 1d6 at 1st level. 2d6 at 3rd. 3d6 at 6th. 11d6 at 20th (per the PfRPG pdf) is too much. 7d6 would be more to my liking. And, it would still be more powerful than Mass Cure Critical Wounds. And, there's...
