    Any new SDAs out there?

    Re: Re: Re: Re: Any new SDAs out there? Howdy again, might one. Edit: removed uncooperative custom smilie. No, but thank you! I appreciate your perspective. Having developed my own imm system, mechanics can hinge on some of these questions, and I've been forced to consider the differences...

    Min Max a Bastard, er, Sword

    Very true... last time I checked the book. If you look back, I was inquiring what his next feat might be (since 20th level is already mapped out). No prob. Orlic

    Have you been 3.5ed?

    Why, that's the smell of pepperoni, off gassing of Jolt, and sleep deprivation!

    Any new SDAs out there?

    Re: Re: Any new SDAs out there? Howdy, Upper_Krust! Oh, I'll tell you--I'm pretty frustrated that the SRD hasn't come out already... I hoped to see the Imm Handbook out this last spring. With some longstanding immortal campaigns running, we are looking for a finely tuned system to breathe...

    Cool.. very cool. Wonder where the "bastard" sword term comes from... any idea? OP

    Min Max a Bastard, er, Sword

    Darklone, Cool, thanks. Probably my bad on the technical history on the claymore... thought it was the same as the bastard sword. I don't have my older weapon history books... thought the claymore was called the ziewander in Germany, hand-and-a-half sword? Kerrwyn, pardon me for talking up my...

    Min Max a Bastard, er, Sword

    :eek: Um... help. Is "Doublewield" a feat? Which ref? Swinging 2 claymores tastes like a turd since migrating an epic swordmage to 3E. Enlighten the Lil' Scribbler, noble one. ~Pazafar

    A request for a custom epic spell that grants eternal youth

    One must then ask themselves, "What all creatures are naturally immortal?" And, "What does my DM think about immortal domination (or possibly death)?" While we do have several ongoing campaigns with immortal PCs, they are truly little more than timeless epic characters, with a little more...

    Increased base damage from weapons

    Quasqueton, The changes you are recommending will make battles bloody and the lives of PCs quite short. Don't forget that most opposing NPCs and monsters die in the first fight they have with PCs, and that is with existing damage rules (this translates to any fundamental change like this...

    Advice on designing balanced PrCs [long]

    Just a small point to add to something you already noted: recommend a DM *thoroughly* playtest his PrC on a number of NPCs in an active campaign to see if the PrC 'steals the thunder' from the PCs (indicating something may be out of balance), and also to introduce the concept of the class as...

    New Spell: Simon's Recollection

    I agree with ValarX on several points: recommend against using spell slots to store memories, and agree with an increase in casting time... but only 10 minutes instead (long enough to walk around, looking through the crystal, making notes on things that are seen). I'd recommend placing the...

    Keen and Vorpal ability...

    Celtavian, I'm somewhat leery of the d6 roll on your vorpal chart... if you insist on using a chart, I'd recommend just a few points: - I'd recommend changing the order of the target areas, starting with (typical) average relative proximity to the vorpal blade bearer: hard, arm, head, torso...

    Attribute Score Generation - How Do You Do It?

    plain Jane... 1. 4d6 twice, drop low die each set of 4, take highest of 2 sets. 2. Repeat #1 five more times, assign ability scores as wished. 3. Allow player to reroll if they wish. Most settle for what they get the first time (not electing to reroll)--we have been rp'ing together since dirt...

    L9 right for this custom spell?

    Hmm... good point. Using it as originally written, it would be super-effective against a crowd of commoners... perhaps too good. I like your idea.... accepted! :D Gee thanks... Updated: ======= Stone Garden Transmutation Level: Sor/Wiz 9 Range: 50 ft. radius Target: One creature/2...

    Spell DC variant

    Overall, good points made by everyone--surely some things to consider. I think we'll stick with the rules as written for now, perhaps we'll look at fiddling with some of the feats to offer additional DC increases besides the existing Spell Focus series, perhaps Greater Epic Spell Focus, at DC...
