It also takes about 10 minutes at most to rework the background of an otherwise generic PrC.

For the first few levels, particularly for newbies, having limited choices of classes helps keep the chaos down. PrC's, even ones stripped of background, add flavor to the campaign. If you have a Weapon-Master PrC, you are saying your campaign has all manner of superbly skill weapon...

Very interesting. First a question: Are you saying the earth is physically surrounded by these elemental regions, or are you being poetically metaphorical about the positioning of the elemental planes around the material?

Okay. Where are they? P.S. Could you post a non-attachment summary of what you're trying to do with this?

ax0n, I think its closing in on a time when we should try to release Plane Design. While Plane-Descriptions is pretty self-explanatory, your essay really helps give context and meaning to what we are trying to do. I think it will raise interest, whereas this is pretty dry and currently seems...

Nail, I think that elemental structure is intriguing. Mechanics or not, I'd like to see a follow-through on that. I think the trick to this is to set it up so it doesn't remove any existing rules. I think that's doable- you can rearrange the elements without the physical logic for immunities...

Personally, I like a base of 10 or 12 pnt for reading on screen. I also use the cntrl-mousewheel trick to adjust size as necessary. Its easy enough to hit cntrl-A and cntrl-shift-< a couple times...

I think its pretty solid. I would replace Intuit Direction with Escape Bonds.

If its a spellcaster meant for this much combat, to the point of requiring a +4 bonus to Attack rolls, not having Combat Casting as a requirement seems strange. Play balance aside, a battle-oriented PrC like this should have d6 hp built in, imo. I have found that classes with repetitive...

Also, the effective line between Initiative and Reflexes are already pretty blurred. Initiative is reaction first, Reflex save is reacting faster. The only reason why they are not the same number is that the Initiative and the Save systems require different magnitudes as the character's level...

applause :) In core rules, Spellcraft is a little more important than Hide, so maybe it shouldn't be quite as easy to make that item.

That was cool, and it gave me a starting point with my own thinking about non-magical rangers. It was still a little boring, I seem to recall thinking that it was over-fused with the fighter, not enough unique rangering.

I've just gotten into anime in the past year. The art and music is frequently very good- definitely better than the vast majority of American cartoons currently made today. The storylines, while sometimes somewhat trite, are usually approached in a new way. Not to mention that looking at...

Personally, I don't like Favored Enemy, but this version of it is better than the PHB. Anyone playing a ranger will already be pouring into the Wilderness Lore. This forces them into it. Also, to correct the problem, I suggest just giving the ranger another couple skill points. Intuit...

random thought: the template is treated as another class until all characters are equal, so XP penalties maybe.

Another way of using abilities is something that would cost Initiative points for a bonus to something else. I can see the dancer wasting his great amounts of time on a battlefield to distract or manipulate the actions of his opponents. He could regain his high initiative with a rest break-...

I think the idea behind related skills is that taking the feat involves building on a particular aspect of what the character does. If they are not related, you're essentially saying that this feat is two mini-feats, each representing a small boost to a single skill. While I don't have an...

And every long-term planning wizard will also seriously reconsider it. Taking it amounts to advanced training in the basics of wizardry, rather than gaining some specializations- or building on weaknesses. Sure, not all those things will be useful for some time. I don't think this would be a...

Would a +2/+2 to Spellcraft and Concentration be worth Empower Spell? Craft Wands? For spellcasting in combat, they certainly are related. I view spellcraft as including an understanding of how spellcasting works. Concentration, to a wizard, is getting in the right frame of mind for...

The feats seem a little underpowered- the Refocus action (I forget partial or full-round) allows you to raise your initiative, for the encounter, to 20. A feat to make that a move-equiv, and add all modifiers, would be nice, maybe overpowered. The first feat also seems like a watered down...
