The Throwing Axe thing is great. Just have him carry like 6 or more on his person, he is always armed for melee or missile combat. Go part way up the Two-Weapon Fighting & Point Blank & Far Shot for good close-in death. Add Improved Trip so you can knock them prone with impunity and get all...

I'm playing in a game we're the DM & the player both roll the HD, and the player takes the higher roll. The random factor is still there, but its much more likely to get above average and much less likely to get stuck with the 1.

The Spell Resistance and the little +2 bonus vs. Fey magic seems reduntant. Why not have the female just have a flat SR, or just a +4 vs. All Magic?

Added the flavor text.

I'll have to bookmark that site. My own setting (which this is for) is a 15th-17th century smear of a European-ish continent. Lots of good stuff in there, but it is definitely more hardcore 17th century. I still have knights in shining armor. They're archaic, and outclassed unless they have a...

Work on this is going insanely slow... Here's to bumping for more comments.

Just playing around trying to get the right mix for my campaign... Thoughts? Desires to see the flavor text? Good Reflex Poor Fort & Will Good Defense (if used) Rogue Attack table. HD: d8. Requrements: BAB: +4 Feats: Weapon Focus*, Weapon Finesse*, & Expertise. Skills: Balance...

Screamer is a good idea but the mechanic feels a little off to me. I suggest having the screamer arrow just scream, distracting opponents. You fire a screamer arrow along the rear of a line of enemies, they turn around, your rogue buddies backstab them all. In order for an arrow to have a big...

Something that would simplify this class a lot is just to say its BAB & Ki strike ability stacks with the monk. The special abilities in this class are tradeoffs against the slew of other monk abilities it doesn't get. Scry: I wonder why this is needed. He does really gain divination...

The Bard class in D&D is about inspiration & jack-of-trades. Transcending history is something the designers said they were trying to do... historically 'rogue' never meant someone who worked for the crown as a spy. The problem with crafting items that do this is the game-logic. Bards can...

I agree, this class seems like its trying to encompass two PrC's, sort of creating more of a monk variant than a single PrC. Also, Arcane vs. Divine magic is different by campaign setting. The rules seem to be designed to be neutral on that point. Having just read some of the Dusk rules, (if...

Cool weapons. Cool Crafting Techniques. The thing with racial weapons is they should not be exotic if they are commonly used by Elves. But just because Elven smiths can create crazy weapons, and Elves train with them, does not ALWAYS mean they are martial weapons for the Elves. If there...

Fajas looking good. Why ECL? THey seem pretty balanced against the core races to me. I was just fishing for ideas on the desert dwellers, thri-kreen don't work. The multi-limbed thing/etc was just me being curious & kerazy.

Interesting Shout variant. Seems underpowered. I suggest raising the damage, maybe inside 30ft 1d6 subdual. inside 10ft, 1d6/2 levels, save for half. Objects take straight 2d6 damage that ignores hardness if within 10ft.

So then this is a Broadersword, a little more heft, a little less fine tuned to go for the precise kill shots. Good idea. I like. Don't add the disarm bonus. Anything that will weaken their grip will increase the likelihood of them dropping. That balances whatever bonus rationale you might...

Concrete Buddha had bbn/rgr Alt.Ranger, can't find the thread though. Are you asking about a tweaked ranger to improve the core one, or entirely different approaches to the ranger and his role in the game?

How about when you attack an object (like a stone wall) the weapon takes the hardness of the wall in damage, double that if you roll a 1. Of course, you apply the hardness of the weapon as well. So a good sword should take damage, though a rusty old one might shatter. And maybe Improved...

Question- I presume the Will save mentioned is for trying to write on a living being? Writing: The caster should just make a craft[scribe] check, basic lettering is DC 10, fancier 15, truly ornate 20. If this guy can get a nice image of a dragon, the alphabet is not going to be hard. Material...

Didn't mean to imply you were stealing. Its just that I was remembering about a solid week I put into it... I would never have dropped it if dev on my campaign setting didn't suddenly become my RPG priority. I tend to cycle through projects and get a few lost in the cracks. I hear you on...

well, your version of the spell is 7th level. So its not unreasonable that a caster could slap a limited wish on the maggot and send the troll back into the wild. Okay, so regeneration wouldn't affect it. Suppose you bond yourself to a cohort in the homebase with a warehouse full of healing...
