Hmm, what if he left the Speed as 30 ft? Would that help it without overpowering it? To me, it would still be a little on the weak side, but not so obviously. I'd put an Elfling with 30 ft movement rate about halfway between an Elf and a Half-Elf in terms of strength, myself. On the one hand...

Fallen Paladin. I think she would need to seek out the path of Blackguard to actually become it.

Actually, no, Hinjo does not believe Shojo to be evil. He believes / knows that Shojo has broken the laws of Azure City - by staging a false trial, and that Shojo has acted dishonorably - by hiring a party of adventurers to seek out and investigate another Gate. He never once stated that he...

Having re-read the relevant strip, the only crime Hinjo and Miko overheard was that he faked the trial of the OotS. He also admitted to lying to his paladins by going behind their backs in secret to hire a group [the OotS] to go to one of the Gates and investigate it. So, Miko had - from his...

Think 3.75e, Hope 3.75e Or, at least, that is how I voted. What it is called is irrellivent to what it actually *is.*

Actually, I was more reminded of that scene in Return of the Jedi, when the Emperor says something like: "Strike me down with all your anger and hatred and your journey to the Dark Side will be complete!" Then Luke strikes only to have it blocked by his father. Miko, however, did not have anyone...

I think that when the next version comes it will be called 4e, but in truth it will be more of a 3.75e - a significant revision, but not a truly new edition. For 4e to be a truly new edition - to have truly and majorly changed from its current form - I think it would need to become either a...

You know, Belkar is a 10-11th level Ranger (with a level of Barbarian), but he does not (at the moment, at least), have an animal companion. Should he take the cat, wouldn't that significantly empower the cat? +2 HD, +2 Natural armor, +1 Str/Dex, Link, Share Spells (useless, granted), and...

Actually, I was under the impression that Xykon was scrying Miko solely because he does *not* know. Which brings to mind another issue. It is entirely possible that Xykon was scrying Miko during the altercation. I wonder how he might make use of this?

Not quite. If the ends are good and the means non-evil, then CG or NG can apply. If the ends are good but the means are evil, then CN or NN apply. This, however, is a slippery slope that can easily lead to CE or NE, depending on how often the means are evil and how evil the means become...

Miko has fallen, but she is not yet a Blackguard. Personally, I think that during the fight with Roy, Belkar, and Hinjo she will realise her paladin powers are gone. Rather than think she is being punished for breaking her code, I think she will turn on the gods, believing they too are in the...

If you are trying to create 'night of the living dead' style "zombie" hordes, I would go the 'Barbarian 1 Ghoul' route. As ghouls they actually eat their foes, and the increased speed along with the ability to rage (and the extra 12 hp from the level of barbarian) makes them notably more...

I almost chose the middle option - a bit weak in comparison to core, but there are a few options out there that when combined can be notably broken. So long as the GM is wise enough not to allow these options to combine, then the problems are not too terrible or problematic.

An interesting idea, limiting physics in a Fantasy setting to mere Classical Mechanics (or perhaps even Aristolean Mechanics, such as it was?).

I nearly did not vote. The wizard knows more spells, but the Sorcerer can cast more spells. That, in and of itself, seems balanced. However, the wizard also receives more feats and - due to Int being its casting ability of choice - has more skill points. Therefore did I vote wizard. If the...

Interesting. I'm guessing it has all the rules introduced in the non-core books (such as the environment rules from said series, any rules introduced in the complete series, any rules introduced in the racial series, any rules introduced Dragon that the writer thinks interesting enough to also...

I could not agree more.

Didn't AD&D do something like this? I think it was something like a character could be LN (LG), that is to say LN with Lawful Good tendencies? Or am I misremembering something?

You know, that is an interesting idea. With both the slew of new feats from PH2 and the tricks from CSc, the martial rogue variant from UA (getting bonus feats instead of Sneak Attack) would be quite interesting to play - potentially more powerful than the rogue, in fact. Even if the feats are...

My mistake. After reading all those posts, I confused Dr Awkward's paladin story with the poster's story. As an ordinary Paladin, he should have lost his abilities when he first started working with the evil cult. As others have said, oathbreaking is the least of his worries. A basic atonement...
