    Character Death from DM perspective

    In an alternate spell system I created, I only included one spell to bring back the dead. It was the equivalent of a 9th level spell, and... well, here it is. I'm sure you can figure it out =) Resurrect Light II [Good] Circle: 10 Components: V, S, M, F Casting Time: 1 hour Range: Touch Target...

    Bludgeoning Homebrew PrC?

    I plan on making a prestige class that focuses on using bludgeoning weapons. They just don't get used enough, gosh darnit! :) Before I go reinventing the wheel, anyone have anything on this concept? I doubt it, but it's worth a shot.

    Divinations...something that has always irked me

    Anyone wanna buy me a Christmas gift? :D I don't know about anyone else's games, but IMC we prefer to make the rules fit our game, not our game fit their rules. :rolleyes:

    Divinations...something that has always irked me

    Ok, I'll stand in the minority... diviniations bother me. Sure, I can use magic, fickle gods, deception, and vagueness to defeat them, but then what's the point in using them? IMO, that's like saying the solution to a party all with +20 swords is enemies with more hit points. The easier solution...

    Are there enough PrC's to require all characters to take one?

    In a word, no. I can think of two of my PC's off the top of my head (which is saying a lot since I always DM) that had gads of flavor and personality, but in niether case can I think of PrC for them, prerequisites aside. That said, what exactly do you mean by...

    Training to learn (additional) feats?

    I've always wanted to allow training for feats, but never could manage to finish the mechanics of it. I wanted a cleaner pricing system, but I temporarily abandoned it. This is what I've got so far. I never got around to balancing it against magic items, though :confused: IMC, magic item are...

    CR 10 Tornado? ::blink::

    Two questions: 1. Alrighty, I was looking at the weather info the the DMG (3.5), and I noticed that tornados, and dust storms, and something else IIRC had CRs listed. But in the weather section, I couldn't find anything on what the CR of weather is for... I mean, what do you do, beat up a...

    Character class for Awakened Animals.

    From the PHB 3.5: "An awakened animal can't serve as an animal companion, familiar, or special mount." That doesn't say anything about being a follower from things like Leadership.

    What are your vital houserules?

    Thanks for the advice, Li Shenron. The game I'm starting is going to be a brand new mix of people, and the others are familiar with the core rules. I think this exercise in cutting back on house rules, or setting material :), is a good one... less is better, after all. Homebrew stuff just tends...

    What are your vital houserules?

    She does have a PHB, or at least free access to mine, being my fiance an' all :D . The reason it'd be difficult is that my house rules modify core rules... so while she'd be reading over clerics, I'd have to tell her the appropriate modifications instead of just playing out of the book, for...

    No Common Language - comments?

    You could just drop the trade language idea all together. I'm not aware of any historical basis for an exclusive trade language (not that I'm any sort of authority). I did fine haggling with foreigners (er, I guess I was the foreigner) and we didn't share any languages. Sure, it wasn't large...

    What are your vital houserules?

    What's most important to your game? I'm starting a new game with a new player, and I've realized that the learning curve is just too steep. 3e by itself, is hard enough to teach, but all my pages of houserules are just too much. So I've decided to cut down my house rules to make a 'basic...

    The Low Down on Unfettered

    Here's my rules for Defense: This is a bonus to your armor class based on your level. Your defense bonus represents how adept you are at parrying and blocking melee attacks. You must split your defense bonus against multiple attackers, but you can divide it however you like. For example, a...

    The Low Down on Unfettered

    Mine? Hmm, my bluff's been called! :D Well, I can certainly post the class for you, but it'd require hoards of explanation for anyone to get the right idea, since it's neatly couched in a pile of houserules. So tell ya'll what. Someone tell me how to do that nifty 'code' thing that preserves...

    The Low Down on Unfettered

    Thanks for all the info everyone. Overall, it doesn't sound quite as miraculous as others have made it out to be. homebrew > monte :D

    The Low Down on Unfettered

    Krieg: Bah, I suppose I should update my info... unfortunately, I'm no longer the San Diegan I once was. Now I'm a resident of BFE: Southern Indiana :( nharwell: Thanks :D that's just enough to let me know that my homebrew is probably cooler. Piratecat: Doh! :o I assumed it was OGL... my...

    The Low Down on Unfettered

    Basically, I'm interested in the class so I can scavenge ideas, but more than the basic idea (fights without armor). What else do they do? I would just head over to my FLGS and take a look myself, but there aren't any I know of, and amazon.com isn't keen on previews :( Any kind souls willing...

    Silk Stats?

    1) Thanks everyone for the silk info. I was pretty sure that silk had it's strengths, but I like when people confirm my thoughts with facts :D 2) Although lost souls aren't unique to me, yes I'm Mortuus Solidus on SDH. 3) Hey, Brother Shatterstone, thanks for that heads up on evil...

    Silk Stats?

    Anyone wanna share a guestimate on the stats of silk? Hardness, HP, Break DC? Mista Collins thought up a PrC that uses the silk sash as a weapon at http://enworld.cyberstreet.com/showthread.php?t=69136, and that made me wonder.

    Dancer of Silk PrC - Please Comment

    I don't have Faiths and Pantheons... is the sash described as a weapon? Do they actually explain how you can inflict pain with a silk sash, or is that your idea? Not that I can't stretch my imagination, but I'm curious to see if someone else has done my stretching for me :D EDIT: Come to think...
