here's a few: I like free temp hit points, so maybe 2/spell level on the recipient of a curing spell. I think the favored soul had a version of that as a variant class ability. Free feat, Augment Healing. Healing characters almost never take the Healing domain, because it is weaksauce. This...

I remember reading that first-in first-out thing. As you take damage, the oldest temp hit points are lost first, then on to the newer ones, assuming different sources. They stack, sort of, but only the highest amount count for effects based on your hit point total. Like the Power Word Kill...

hmm, really weak domain power then, because you can already use the Heal skill on anything that is or was alive.

normal clerics can already cast spontaneous cure spells as a standard action. It's only a fullround action if they are applying metamagics to it on the fly.

just think how much restriction you'd have doing anything in that suit...then you're at just about where Lawful Good meets 'Alignment-as-a-weapon-against-the-PCs' style DMing. Or more specifically, 'Turning-Paladins-into-crappy-Fighters' style DMing.

Now I remeber that series, but it was a different one I was thinking about. Something about a survey crew scouting some parallel worlds to get the resources, and the other side's magical military finds them and one guy panics and starts a war. They had flimsy barriers that would stop fireballs...

With all the immediate action spells around, maybe Shield Other should be first level, immediate, and lets you take half of the damage from a single attack. Or all of it, still fits the theme.

I don't think I've ever seen any of my groups' archers take shot on the run. maybe they need upgraded versions like they did with spring attack. Strafing Run, maybe?

bah, that's so second edition.;)

If you have a second person that can heal, you just put delay death on the Shield Other caster. You get to watch them flop around on the ground, taking half your damage for..like forever. :D Good Times.. No one in my groups will even prep Shield Other, as the first one to use it died...

I read a novel where two human civilizations from different parallel worlds were fighting, one side had magic and magical lightning guns, flamethrowers and such, and the other side had 'real' guns and stuff, and the magic side got pounded by artillery in short order. ;)

that is also an option, but not the standard. I've had DMs that think only stuff written in the item lists can be made, even though there are pages of rules explaining how to make new and/or custom items. Then, usually later on, they have NPCs with one-shot custom items that give them staying...

What's the reason why with shot on the run you can't use a standard action ability but with flyby attack you can? Shot on the run has more prereqs, and less ability. Before someone says 'because it says take a move and an attack action' I mean, why is it like that, and not like flyby attack?

The reason why the DMG scroll tables don't go past 6 spells per scroll is that a sorcerer's spells per day of a given level doesn't go past 6, barring ability score adjustments. Maybe it's those un-exceptional people that are making those scrolls for sale, rather than for personal use, since...

then there's the +1 per die of certain energy types, +2-4d6 per shot of single target powers from (greater) psionic shot. empower power is only like 2pp. and the scaling save DCs built into many powers that doesn't factor into fireball with all those 4th and 5th level slots. it's all rock...

because they tend to use and abuse the highest level power they have round after round. they don't work top down like a sorc or warmage. they go top, top, top, top, top, empty.. the wilder in the AoW campaign was using crystal shard, and I think twinned, empowered, then schism for more actions...

psionic characters also don't have to burn a feat to get into the psionic shot/weapon/fist trees, which can help boost their staying power considerably with weapons/weaponlike powers. this is doubly effective since they can pump all their power points into whatever power works best at the...

one problem with 3.5 is, except psionics, being a generalist = mediocre = less effective in combat. even the 'versatile' wizards' spellbooks and prepped spells tend to converge on the same few really effective spells. I don't think that, just because a player takes a set of feats, he should be...

I might be able to use the tactical feats from tome of battle, so a TWF fighter might be viable via Stormguard Warrior, and giving up iterative attacks with both hands as touch attacks for more damage the next round. while it might tick off the other players a bit, something with Improved...

though, once the scout gets greater manyshot... :D
