    Playing with Metamagic feats

    Wizard gets 1/2 their level in MM tokens, Sorcerer gets their level in MM tokens. Tokens may be spent to enhance a spell with any MM feat on the fly. The level increase costs an equal amount of MM tokens. Thus a 10th level Wizard may Still any five spells per day, while a Sorcerer may Still and...

    Deflect Arrows

    I would say that a bonus to hit does not equate to speed, but to accuracy. Thus a +5 arrow is not moving at bullet speed, but is simply course correcting. I must also admit that I have been contemplating a PC with infinite deflect + a shield of arrow attraction. Devoted Defender much?

    Min/max'ing Rogues!

    With all the other classes you will be playing with, I would go with 14s across the board, and keep bumping your INT. Getting a +1 in one stat is not worth sacrificing +2 in two others. For a rogue, your skill list is your most important class feature, and the only one that really doesn't...

    D&D and the Cthulhu mythos: Adventure ideas?

    I used the free module "Where Madness Dwells" in a similar fashion. The group I play with had already run through it once while I was a player, and I did something of a "return too" as a Dm in the same world with different PCs. An old nemesis of theirs, whom the believed dead, was held in the...

    Do chaotic Paladins have a name?

    Fighters without bonus feats. Seriously, the only name I have heard is Paladin of Freedom.

    Item Durability

    There are none. If you wanted one that wouldn't destroy the game as is, you could cause a Fort save from every weapon used during a battle, DC 10 + # of battles between repairs. Failure causes -1 hardness and - 25% HP. A successful repair resets everything to zero.

    Would it break the game if..no PrC requirements?

    I've always thought that PrCs would be a great NPC class for mooks that you want to be interesting/challenging, but not more than one hit wonders as mooks should be. Take a spell sword, full BAB plus casting. A mob of these guys 3-5 levels below your PCs would be tough and tactically...

    Building the Uber-lich

    Don't let her be permakilled on any plane but her own. Giver her DR + energy resistance / 100 - Uber artefact. This would require a quest to find the item capable of killing her, plus forcing the PCs onto her home turf.

    Shooting arrows through a Wall of Fire

    Two thoughts. 1) Speed is not an issue. A Monk could move faster than an arrow in game if you get him the right level/items/spells. Its like hit points. Don't think about it too much. 2) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0087262/ :cool:

    Versitile Weapon

    Add also that the weapon sundered only loses one rod, so carrying extras would allow quick repair. I would also require all components to be masterwork. Here is a possible break down. Rod = club 2x rod = staff 3x rod = long staff (d8 + reach) weapon head = d4 damage of...

    Fictional creatures that would make good monsters

    Pffft. Already been done. Read the opening chapter of Blood Rites by Jim Butcher. ;)

    BBEG and his plot to die.

    A different direction might be to make him a more Christ like figure. Make im the truest sort of good, a truely lovig person/archon/god, whatever power level you want. Perhaps he was even the god that created the world. His deepest desire is to see his creations rise above themselves and start...

    Help me pick 2nd level spells for my Archivist!

    Whats the make up of the rest of the party? Buff spells may be boring, but if you have a couple of good tanks, it may be more productive than offensive spells. If you don't have a traditional Wizard, you may want to focus on divination spells and the dispell magic line of spells, in due time of...

    New McFarlane Dragons!

    Loved the Ice Clan one. The Hunter also had great coloring, and an interesting evolution to its wings.

    Background Point-Buy

    Both wealth and magic items should increase as the PC gains power, in order to keep them balanced as they level. For example, the wealth feat may give the PC his level x 100 in gp, and the magic item will increase by an effective +1 every 4 levels the PC has. If thes two backgrounds stay static...

    Airship Antics (plot help requested)

    Have the sabature on board start activating multiple immovable rods to slow the airship down enough to be boarded.

    Item Creation Feats for a Druid

    Craft Wonderous Item and Craft Wand would get you eternal wands, two spells per day of whatever spell was crafted into it. For 400 gold you could get two Goodberry spells, which takes care of food and some healing. 2,200 gold would get you two Lesser Restorations. 5,400 gold would get you two...

    Alternate skill system. What do you think?

    I could see this as another dump stat issue. If you have a poor Dex, why bother trainning anything Dex related when even at a D4 you would have a poor chance to do anything? It would be more in line with 3.x to have a skill check rolled on a D4 untrained, and bump up the dice, capping at D20...
