Humans are not, nor have they been in most cultures, particularly reflective or philosophic about their culture. They don't have Wis penalties. Dwarves are typically described as being extremely cultural and reflective, but they don't get Wis bonuses. As such, I don't think that a Wis...

I've been trying to sort this out in my head for a bit. I like the TWF only costs a feat, but I understand the math and realize that in general, a TWF gets the shaft (excepting rangers and rogues who can excell at it). I like the benefits one gets from AU TWF (esentially two attacks at BAse)...

I appreciate the greater discussion of necessities, but it still didn't really answer my question. What do you do in your game? Which of those three options do you use when a player wants to be a TWF?

Actually... yes, a lot of people do. See, they are still used to the old system whereby a multiclass character might be, say, 5/5 while the single class character would only be 6 or possibly 7. There was not a huge difference in power level. But with 3e, and the whole stupid CR system based...

Not a problem for the Unfettered, who begin with Exotic Prof: Agile So, out of curiosity, what's the answer? You obviously have a good handle on the math involved, so what is your houserule/patch/fix?

I do not know if it was intentional or not, but the d6 of temp HP is kinda weak. Since Temp HP don't stack, once you rolled 6 you wouldn't gain any more until you took damage. At best it grants you a single hit worth of (weak) DR. So, while doing the extra d6 of damage is nice, its drain...

Personally, I always thought not selecting your own race was stupid. Lets face it, what are bounty hunter archtypes if not Rangers? Besides, what race will you know better, one you have studied or your own people? So, no, it doesn't bother me a bit. As for letting you simply get another...

I really like the idea. I would love to see more demon contracts as story ideas. This really rocks. I do have a question: is the ECL modifier what a PC would pay for the demon once it was bound to them, or is part of the CR equation in UK's system? I know he uses slightly different...

Any kind of adventure can be run that way, if the group and gm are accomodating. have you considered looking at d20 modern? Rules like the Massive Death Threashold really can keep players in line (anytime they take more damage then their con, they save as a fort save versus DC 15 or got to -1...

Arcane Strike Arcane Shot I (Su): As a free action, the Arcane Archer may expend a prepared spell and focus its energy into one of her arrows. If the arrow strikes, it deals +1d4/spell level damage. The spell is expended even if the arrow misses There is a feat in Dragon 310 that allows...

You know, Frank, that's an excellent article. I love it. BAck in my 2nd ed days, the party of the three year campaign I ran were more or less backed by the nobles and the queen of the country. There was relatively little monetary reward, certainly there was a dragon hoard or two, but on the...

It looks good to me. I like it. The abilities are gross, but they spread nicely over three levels much like the new spreads for Half-Dragons et al.

I feel your pain I completely agree with how powerful sneak attack is. Sometimes (often in fact) I think its too powerful. Meanwhile, my player's think its too weak. Before altering the mechanic, you should perhaps look at what kind of encounters you throw at the party. A few undead...

And one other change... the Free Action casting ability now applies to both Bladesinger and any Arcane Spell. that's a fairly big shift, though luckily the one in my group has only one level of sorcerer to worry about. ;)

I know that myself and my girlfriend are not having a shared delusion. We know we've seen an update for the Blade singer PrC to 3.5. We think it was in a Dragon or possibly a Dungeon Magazine. Are we going nuts? Does anyone know where I can find this fever induced nightmare?

As for the feat providing a meta-magic enhancement 'X-times' per day, in Au, Quicken Spell works 3 times a day. Each time you take the feat you can use it 3 more times per day. I think that is a fairly decent mechanic. Granted, a PC might save those for the bbeg, but if that is the fear, then...

Actually, that is what I am doing for Adamantine and Mithril in my world. Mithril, or Star Metal, is the material most often used by the Scions, or Angelic style beings of my world. Hell-Forged Steel is 'pre-adamantine' from the torture realms that the Sourged (demons/devils) were banished...

Personally, I would be against it. To me, Uncanny dodge is such a sweeter ability then Evasion. As a DM, I loathe it. Invisibility is nearly useless. It nearly negates Sneak Attack, except when the bad guys can organize flanking, but I have fairly strategic players who are typically good at...

Ciaran, thanks for the info. What format is your doc in? Have you considered simply breaking it into smaller chapters and posting those individually? I mean, even if you had to break it down by class, I would think you could get it small enough to transfer. Anyway, its obvious you were using...

I'm interested in some of your house rules and would be interested in reading more (like how you implemented the class ability of create magic items, etc). Do you have them posted to a website somewhere? I went to your link, but it was too difficult to navigate, I'm afraid. Thanks!
