Thanks again for your thoughts. I'm glad to see that my idea has generated some discussion. Some more thoughts / responses of mine: What 'other' benefits are you gaining? Let's see . . . with a new level you gain another hit die, maybe a better save, some skill points, BAB, possibly a feat...

Hey, thanks for your interest in this post. Let me address some of your comments / concerns: Well, I think my players are smart enough to handle the added complexity, and power level has, in my estimation, as much to do with tactics, spell selection, etc., as it does with level anyway. As I...

I'm toying with the idea of changing, slightly, the way experience works in my next campaign. My idea is to have PC's gain and 'bank' experience points to 'spend' at some other time - probably while training for their next level. I've summarized my current thoughts below. Maybe some of you...

One vote for verisimilitude I'm going to cast my vote with the nay-sayers here. * I have an issue with horses that are 10 feet wide (and snakes, and 20 foot wide behirs, etc.). * I have an issue with a tower shield, a portable wall weighing half a ton, providing you with 360 deg. of total...

That's a creepy mob! I see a tpk in your campaign's near future. The only thing I would recomend is a better name for their 'swarm' special ability, in keeping with Koewn's theme. How does 'Embrace of the Grave' strike you? Otherwise, that's a killer mob!

The 'pea' is 'hiding' in the lantern (or whatever). It's 'fine' size (+16 size), immobile and nearly invisible in its environment (+20 circumstance*). Assume that the base DC is 10 and you get a total DC of (10 + 20 + 16) 46. * See Special: If you are invisible . . . under the description of...

1: I suppose that playtesting is the only way to be sure, but I'm inclined to think that a lack of AoO's would make these maneuvers too common and too easy. Someone suggested using AoO's only upon the maneuvers failure which I think might be a good compromise solution. Of course it sounds like...

As a rule in the D20 system ability stat adjustments are always multiples of 2. This is because an 'odd' bonus or penalty would only be a bonus or penalty half the time. Take the half dwarf above for example. If the +1 Con bonus is applies to someone with a base stat of 12 it has no effect...

Is it your contention that natural armor would 'soak' up falling damage? I wouldn't imagine that it would really be much help. Also, it occurs to me that size might work against you when falling. Instead of helping you 'soak' up more damage, a big creatures mass might actually hurt them more...
