    Ideas on balancing a new base class

    Why not give the class bonus feats like the wizard and turn the clockwork creation into feats only the clockwork mage and any associated prestige classes can take? Take advantage of the balancing mechanic in place Also, after you're done you could even "roll" these feats back in as class...

    Greater Balor

    Shouldn't it have better equipment since it has more hit dice, or am I wrong? ciaran

    Which Psionics rules do you use?

    Anyone remember empowered items? They used to always have a fraction of the psionicist's personality, and could be intelligent? I was thinking of bringing those back... ciaran

    Magic/Mana points

    I think I like it. How much mana does it cost to expand a spell by 2 levels (ie: a magic missile cast at 3rd for example with 2 missiles?) Isn't it unfair charging 1 mana/level since a fireball is better than a magic missile with 2 missiles? ciaran

    Player journal a.k.a. Discussion of Rules

    I wanted an opinion of the hivemind on this particular issue springing from my game: The last game, my players ran into two horsemen who were willing to share information they had (information the players would want) in exchange for "extracting" from one of the players. "Extraction" obtains...

    Session recording methods?

    We all use a common set of notes that each of us takes turns to write. We have an accepted format of information (things that should be written down and not). We use Wiki software (see my sig) to collect and cross-reference it. Making tape or a video will only make you not want to go back...

    Magic/Mana points

    348 1st level spells at 20th level though? Ouch. ciaran

    Magic/Mana points

    The system I use: Take the memorisation charts from PHB 3.5. For calculation of MP use 5 + 1 per spell level. Add them up per level and you have a mana pool total for every level. Charge a wizard (or whoever) 10 + 2 per spell level in MP for casting.... TABLE 3-36: BASE DIVINE POWER...

    Item Creation ruling

    Allowed even though: I think that the two-caster bit may be a 3.0 rule but not a 3.5 one. Edit: dcollins is right. I found it on pp. 215 in 3.5 DMG ciaran

    Item Creation ruling

    The last time we played, a player brought up making items with two characters in the way that one character provides the spell and the other the feats. I ruled that this would not be possible since it would allow wizards to (ridiculously) making staves of healing, etc. Furthermore, all item...

    Do archfiends grant spells in your campaigns? And if so how?

    I like evil. They grant spells because they can. Because I say so :) ciaran

    Help with player with Foot in Mouth disease

    I personally would deliver a world of hurt to the prick knight and his girly squire, enough to make them drink their nobility out of a straw. I like this ranger! ciaran

    Armor as Damage Reduction (how to make it work for you)

    Wait. What? You'd use PHB rules for battlefields? Doesn't that take a whole day to resolve? :) If not, show me how! Also, concerning my question... I think you've answered it. This choice issue is somewhat worth it. Hm. ciaran

    Campaigns destroyed by catering to whims…

    Though none of my players have done it yet, I would kill a character if his player lied to me about something critical. Your perogative, right? ciaran

    Armor as Damage Reduction (how to make it work for you)

    I read through the system because I was considering using it, but... can't you pretend that some of the hits that miss due to AC hit and cause damage and that some that hit and cause damage just miss, explaining the long course of battle between PCs? At the end of the day you're trying to...

    Wanted: solid info on new WoD

    I wonder what aspect of classical mythology the company will horribly twist/plagarise and/or sue for this time. Maybe... oh, maybe... Witch: The Living on an Island and turning fellas into Pigs. ciaran

    Which Edition Do You Use?

    Is Speak Language a useless skill?

    There is no Common in my game; they're all racial. Also, read/write language is a separate skill; speak + read/write is CROSS-CLASS for most classes in my game making it hefty. The requirement for knowing different languages is substantial, so with all such changes, these one (two) skills get to...
