Well, I will give some instead. Thanks for the discussion, it raises some great points on Feat design and interaction to be sure. I suppose some ambiguity was inevitable since I just came up with some 'proto-feats'. I guess the devil really is in the details. That's a good point. I'm curious...

Imagine: Feat A says "when making a ranged attack, you use your Int modifer instead of Dex" Feat B says "when making a ranged attack you use double your Dex modifier" A player in your game has chosen both feats for her character. Do you think they stack? I.E. the net result is the character...

Hey everyone, So, a player of my game has decided to take the Vow of Poverty for his character. I've got no problem with this except that I find the exalted feats available are somewhat lacking both in strength and number. With all the bonus exalted feats the VoP grants, my player is going to...

Huh, That is just what I need.. how did I miss that? However, Given that if PC A has the target grappled and pinned, they can tie them up (shackle them) with a new check at -10. My question is, what kind of check/action is it for PC B to do it while PC A has them held?

Hey folks, here is the scoop: The PCs of my game are about to take on the current antagonist - a mad wizard. They have their own reasons but they have also teamed up with an NPC bounty hunter hunting the same target. The bounty hunter has loaned the party his set of antimagic shackles (which...

Thanks for the thoughts, Working on it some more, I'm started looking at incorporating the Archon subtype traits into the monk class. They are as follows: Aura of Menace - which is a -2 attacks, AC, and saves to enemies within 20ft. Immunity to electricity and petrification +4 on svaes vs...

Hey folks, I'm just looking for some ideas on how a monk archetype based on the LG Outsiders would differ from the regular monk class. Things that come to my mind include: - Switching ki strike (adamantine) to ki strike (silver) - Giving the monk the Archon Aura of Menace ability but I don't...

Hey all, I'm trying out a few different systems of gods for my homebrew and I came upon this idea: Imagine a world in which there are nine gods. One for each of the standard D&D alignments. Now the people of this world attribute one celestial body, or aspect of the sky, to each god. For...

Absolutely! In fact, I've already had an NPC ask her if she was ok with a recent decision because she "looked a little blue" to great effect. Actually, there's been enough answers here for a good solution: I'm going to allow break enchantment to end the effect. It seems the best fit for me...

Hey everyone, I'm just polling informally to see how other people handle Sense Motive rolls in their games. Namely, if an NPC lies does the GM ask for a Sense Motive roll from the players (which tips their hand) or do the players have to actively state they want to roll Sense Motive (which...

Heh, The embedding only worked on my computer.. had to attach it instead. Sorry about that, hopefully I'll seem less crazy now.

Hey all, A month ago, during a computer update, I lost a lot of my old D&D related files and archives. Included where some pictures I had found to use as gaming aids - portraits of important NPCs and the like. There was a series that I really liked and had started to use before the loss and I...

Hey all, Here is the campaign situation: The group I am leading has 5 characters. In the last session, they met an NPC cleric looking for his friends and the party agreed to help. They tacked the missing people to a small village and when the PCs arrived, they saw it was under attack. So they...

Sure, It's a pretty standard fantasy setting, the players are all the heroes - a card-playing rogue, healing based ranger, ascetic monk/paladin, shadow magic sorcerer and a greatsword wielding fighter. They are all childhood friends and the main story arc will involve going up against a plague...

Hey everyone, In the game I am currently leading, I would like to develop some strong role-playing based side-stories for my players to run along side a main story arc that might be a little combat heavy at times. Allow me to explain the groundwork I've laid so far: Out of a party of 5...

Hey, There was a mishap with a Rod of Wonder and now the PC in question has turned blue. She's quite anxious to return to normal but there's really no indication on how that is possible. She figures that, because the Rod's description states "the wielder permanently turns blue.." it means the...

This is perfect! I appreciate the help guys.. thanks a lot!

Hey all, I'm developing a small mystery in my game - the party knows that one person in the nearby town is a sorcerer with an elemental [Cold] bloodline and that they are being hunted by the villain. They do not know who it is, hence the mystery. Knowing my players, they are probably going to...

Well, Game is this Friday so I'll come back and let you know. :)
