Children of Oakthane Symbol: a stylised oak tree. Background, Goals and Dreams: The halfbreed bastard offspring of the enigmatic elf known only as The Oakthane. The children have a strong connection to the earth and nature, many of them being either Druids or Rangers. Enemies and Allies: As...

What benefits would you suggest be granted to a Ranger class to compensate loss of Spellcasting ability? More feats? Some Special abilities (eg. Pass Without Trace, Speak with ANimals, etc)? An extra skill point per level? An animal companion more in line with druids or a wizards familiar...

The Orders Militant Symbol: varies by individual banner Background, Goals and Dreams: The Orders Militant are a loose alliance of fighting orders, gathered under a single banner and leader to ensure their efforts are not squandered or misused. As the militant arm of the Temple, they enjoy...

The current roster of PCs: Kael Silvermane - Human (highfolk) Noble 1 Cleric 5 Radiant Servant 2 Secondborn son of the ruling Imperial family, he entered the priesthood during his early teens, as was expected of him. To date he has had only limited contact with his family since, his life...

A little background might add perspective to the odds and ends i'm adding here. The current human civilisation, the Empire, was built on the ashes of an earlier civilisation, as it was built on the ruins of the one before, and the one before that, and so on. Hundreds of thousands of years of...

House Tilgentor Symbol: a silver eagle on a black and red background. Background, Goals and Dreams: A pleasant façade of eccentric historians and archivists hides the devastating intellects and ruthless opportunism that has made this House great. Most nobles spend at least a few years...

Order of the Azure Flame Symbol: blade shrouded in blue flames Background, Goals and Dreams: The Order, once an offshoot of the militant arm of the Temple, has consolidated their independence in recent years. They are self governing and self policing. Taint is the great enemy, and all magi are...

Temple of Light Symbol: the Solar disk Background, Goals and Dreams: The Temple is a bastion of light and hope in a world beset by darkness and Necromancy. They stand as the first, last, and only line of defence against the plague of taint and corruption sweeping the land. Enemies and Allies...

Just bringing together a list of all my posts relating to my "vs the Undead" campaign. Classes - Battle Mage. Equipment - A heavier blunt implement. Feats - A few new Feats from my Campaign. Races - Powerful half-elves. Races - Charismatic dwarves. Rules - Stats at Character creation...

This was my exact reasoning.

I very nearly had a TPK a couple of sessions ago with a group of 4 wraiths supported by a band of misc. skeletons and zombies...two down, one on 2 con, and the rest of the party down to 10% or less hit points. Curse their turn undead. lol.

Outlands Reaper A powerful undead warrior whose victims arise as lesser undead in it's wake. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Medium Undead (Extraplanar) Hit Dice: 20d12+20 (150 hp) Initiative: +7 Speed: 30 ft. AC: 30 (+3 Dex, +8 natural, +9...

Like everyone else here, I've tried a wide range of methods of generating stats for characters. straight 3d6, 4d6 discard one, 4d6 reroll 1s, best of 5d6, points buy, all 10s + 25 points...the list goes on. For my current campaign I decided on a heroic spread of attributes, to be allocated as...

There is only one arcane spellcasting class in my campaign, and they don't get the Call Familiar class feature. In fact, this feat is restricted to a particular human subrace, and members of that subrace who manifest the ability to become battle mages tend to be hunted into extinction by the...

Obviously a point of view difference. The Martial Weapon Proficiency Class Feature grants access to all weapons for the martial classes. The Martial Weapon Proficiency Feat grants but a single weapon. If I had wanted to give them access to all shields, I would have given them the Shield...

If you are still planning on making it a spell, then ensure the spell is able to perform for non-rogues as well. for example granting any caster the ability to sneak attack an undead, but stacking with any current sneak attack from class features...

Having the vast majority of arcane spellcasters in my campaign working for the other side, and the massive culturals restrictions that levied...the Battle Mage was my response. Combining aspects taken from Unearthed Arcana and Arcana Unearthed. The Athame is usually a longsword or greatsword...

Actually, it sounds more like you're creating a class ability for a mage/thief oriented prestige class...

Sorry...that was supposed to say +2 dex. I used the Drow as the basis for my halfelves. The halfelf 4th level ranger in my campaign seems to be managing for now, even though he is lagging behind the 6th level of the rest of the party.

I appreciate the clear, concise suggestions and arguements. I will definately take the zero level spellcasting ideas and see what i can make of them. There is precedent for limiting the breadth of skill gained from a feat, Martial Weapon Proficiency when bought separately rather than gained as...
