    What house rules do you use?

    Except that modifiers from feats don't count toward presige class requirements that require a certain amount of ranks. Those rank requirements are just that, real ranks that you purchase. Now, if you had racial, competence and unnamed bonuses counting as purchased ranks, that would be another...

    A New Race: The Dragontouched

    They're an LA: +1 race. I'm thinking they might make a better template, but I don't know . . . when do you make something a template, and when a race? Anyway, I'm posting this with the hopes of getting comments on whether it needs to be balanced better, or if I might do this a different...

    REALLY What Was So Bad About 2nd Edition?

    Anyone noticed that the d12 has all but disappeared from 3E?

    Monster Manual 2

    Re: Bah, TOH Does anyone else enjoy the extreme irony of someone who talks about himself in the third person saying that? I know I sure do. I suppose using basic grammar isn't beyond stupid. Is it at least within stupid?

    What house rules do you use?

    1) In my game, alignment has absolutely no game effect except for those classes and creatures that are supernaturally aligned. For example, detect evil would work only on paladins, clerics, demons, etc. Creatures that are intrinsically their alignment. I've found alignment-as-a-rule to be...

    Need advice on new PRC - Champion of the Drowned God

    To be clear, I'm not sure that my panic over this is fair. I just know that it seems a lot, but I haven't looked at it closely to determine whether or not there's a balance issue. I don't feel really confident in doing that, unfortunately. Good one. Much more specific. I think that's a good...

    Need advice on new PRC - Champion of the Drowned God

    The spell like abilities feel a little powerful when they're coupled with still getting clerical spells, but I am not good at going over them with a fine-toothed comb to compare them to extant classes. So that's just a hunch I get. The only other real problem I can see is that you allow them...

    [PrC] Watchers of the Gate

    Yeah, I'm a little torn. On one hand I could just give them their own spell progression, a la the Assassin. But it would be hard to get to 9th level spells in 10 levels and consider that balanced. Or would it? There's also the concern that the spells cast per day are balanced against the...

    [PrC] Watchers of the Gate

    I could really use anyone to check this for balance. It feels okay to me but I'm not sure.

    Vorpal and Sharpness reborn

    I am an idiot. Ignore my post on this.

    Dog Soldier prestige class

    The only thing that seems to be prone to abuse would be the parry bonus. When you consider that a lot of feats require that a character sacrifice something just to get an AC bonus on herself (Expertise), this seems pretty severe. I might suggest that the parryer give up his attacks for the...

    [PrC] Watchers of the Gate

    Thanks! Do you think it balances? Now that's quite an honor. Thanks. For what it's worth, I sort of jiggered with Green Ronin's Hellblade class (http://www.greenronin.com/files/focus09.pdf) along with the Loremaster class. The name is a slight wink to Buffy. Only slight :).

    Looting

    Re: What About Monster Parts ?! Again, my players did this too. With the first dragon (black) they fought. Of course, one of the PCs is on his way to being a Dragon Disciple so I told him he was feeling very uncomfortable. I also made some comments about Vietnamese ear necklaces and openly...

    [PrC] Watchers of the Gate

    This is designed primarily as a bard class. It loses the Appraise, Pick Pocket and (most importantly) Perform class skills, but gains skill points per level. The "supernaturally aligned" bit below has to do with my own house rules on alignment. I can provide further explanation but I think...
