    Wheelchair-bound character

    I'm resurrecting this thread, since I think it's still important. I'd say that, in regards to Defense, they're just sitting, and considered paralyzed (which puts them at a -2 vs. melee, a +2 vs. ranged, and they lose any Dexterity bonus to Defense). As for attacks, I don't think a penalty is...

    Sparta-like Empire

    Well, after seeing the movie, I think the Shield Specialization tree from PH2, as well as the Phalanx Fighting feat. Also, they had a piper as they left Sparta, so a bard wouldn't be out of place (though, yeah, lawful's still a problem. You may also want to use the Class-based Defense option...

    Another big competition vote - pick your favourite author!

    I read all of them, but it was Forbing's characters, as well as how he wrote Rook and Torrent, that set him apart in my mind. I didn't expect the halfling monk, or the drunk priest (I hope he's a real character and not just a set piece), and the sadistic, prejudicial elf, while a bit of a dark...

    A Warlock-Like Psionicist

    Well, if we went with a TK blast dependent on ML rather than based off the table (as a way to be different, and as a nod to the way the Ardent works), then overchannel would be great for a psilock, as would PM. OC would allow you to possibly get that extra d6, and PM would allow you to...

    A Warlock-Like Psionicist

    i think we need to make the psilock's telekinetic strike a ML dependent effect, rather than a class level dependent effect. That way they can overchannel, as well as use practiced manifester. Though, you may want to make the mind strike least strike augmentation talent d8's, rather than d10's...

    Spring attack and ToB maneuvers

    Well, there's always Flyby Attack, which does for flying what you want Spring Attack to do for walking. It doesn't have the AoO clause, so it's no as nifty, but if you really wand to move, maneuver, and move on out, it's the best you have without 3.0 Haste.

    Armor "lightening"

    Um, mithral is masterwork!

    Warforged an resurrection

    Well, there's always Reincarnate (a transmutation), though that might not be what you're looking for either (since you've just lost those five levels of juggernaught).

    Rules that never made sense to you?

    Well, I'm going to have to disagree with you. Intimidation is a skill. Spotting is a skill. These are not things that should automatically increase with level unless you particularly increase them by working on getting better. I'm a 23 year old male, and I can spot things better than my 50 year...

    Geisha, the (missing) Asian Bard

    Actually, that's a good idea, Cha to AC. Limit by class level, but otherwise, it allows you to have your dodge, but also allow you to put a different spin on it. For instance, have the Geisha's defense be confidence and grace that allows them to bluff and distract their enemy such that they are...

    Raptorian/Dragonborn?

    I would think that most Raptorian Dragonborn would take the Wings racial ability, or swap out for the Wings feat (not sure of the names, AFB).

    Natural Bond

    Yeah, I can see both sides of this issue. I can see the stacking with reductions, and I can see the non-stacking with reductions. I prefer the former, since it allows a well built druid/BM to have a kick-arse companion (at the expense of two feats (skill focus: handle animal and natural bond)...

    Mithral armor costs for small characters

    Well, I think this has already been answered (and it is RAW).

    Simple20: Anyone using it?

    Well, two things. First, it was difficult to even find the rules, since there's an error in the link ("/" instead of "."). Secondly, it seems to have gone too far away from the OGL core for my tastes, if only because they renamed too many things (your attributes are just like your skills, and...

    Classless D20

    Or, you can just take levels in the "Knight" class from PH2, or the "Samurai" or "Swashbuckler" from CW, or even the "Paladin" from the PH. Each of these are takes on the Knight archetype that fits better than the "Fighter" with Cross Class skills. There's a reason there are over forty base...

    Cost for ironwood full plate?

    What's wrong with "Wildwood" from RotW? Not sure off the top of my head, but I think that's closer to what you're looking for. Okay, just went and got it. Wildwood Full Plate; 3300 gp; +7 armor bonus, +2 Max Dex; -5 ACP; 30% ASF; 37.5# masterwork armor, normal speeds, ACP ignored for Hide...

    Two New Magical Feats (A Simple Idea Really)

    I don't really think they're that bad, since they only work for single-class characters (as multi-class character would just take Practiced Spellcaster and be done with it). Though, the 6th/12th seems like a logical limiter.

    A different kind of healing

    Yes, but if you had a cure light wounds it would work as well. Of course, you'd be better off just using two CLW, but that's not the point. This is supposed to be either a replacement or another take on Cure spells. I think 1d4 at 0 is a good start, but not sure where to go from there. Which...

    Warlock eldtritch blast

    That reminds me of a Cheesy Munchkin Adventures character I was thinking of making. Leadership, Sidekick (d20 past), and a cool trio of Feats from Adventure! d20. Something like 3 billion total friends, followers, and cohort/sidekicks (and friends, followers, and cohort/sidekicks of the friends...

    Is Speed Useful?

    The only way I know of getting more then one additional attack (as from haste, righteous wrath of the faithful, or a weapon of speed), is from either the Dancing Mongoose boost or the Raging Mongoose boost from ToB:Bo9S. The DM grants up to two extra attacks (if you have two or more weapons)...
