Actually I'd rather combine the Sorcerer and the Evangelist Cleric from Dragon (uses Sorcerer rules for casting, spells known & per day). But anyway... how imbalanced are we talking here? Follow Sorcerer for HD, BAB, weapons, armor. Use Cleric saves (or not?). Cleric code of conduct. 4...

yep, Estimated Time of Arrival. (Sorry, work for an Acronym-obsessed company and forget that not everyone is as crazy as we are...) I'm going to do a campaign with only 2 PC's, a Fighter-type and a Mage. I want to use EoM to combine the cleric/wizard into one character...

It's been a while... is there an ETA? (I'm starting a new campaign very soon and would like to squeeze the new rules in...)

16. Bitter 17. Melancholy 18. Skittish 19. Paranoid 20. Contemplative

I thought I was acronym savvy... but alas it isn't so. What's BBEG? Big Bad Evil Guy? (did I guess it?)

Giving humanoids class levels... That was one of the coolest things about 3e IMHO. In the old days you see a group of goblins/kobolds/orcs/etc sitting around a camp fire and you just smile and charge right in. In 3e you'd better take a look. Is that a kobold in robes carrying a staff? Hey...

There was a Dragon a long ways back that had an article about going up against Celestials. It had some good ideas in it. Party recruited to help a king that a celestial has targeted for execution. A Solar has become the leader of a demonic army, leading it against the devils, on the idea that...

Skeletons (for instance) take 1/2 damage from slashing attacks. What gets halved? Lets say we have a fighter with a greatsword and 18 STR. That means 2d6+6. Lets say he has Weapon Specialization and the sword is +1. That makes it 2d6+9. So if he attacks a skeleton, is it (2d6 / 2) + 9 or...

Take a look at the Evangelist in Dragon 311. Spells known like the Sorcerer plus spells from 2 domain lists at 1st (with the associated domain powers, too). At 5th, 10th, 15th and 20th level gain the spell list from an additional domain (but not its ability). Spells/day just like the Sorcerer...

The monster type was immaterial to my question, but how's this: The troll was badly burned by an opponent long ago, and still bears the scars. Ever since he is obsessed with inflicting the pain he suffered on all pesky adventurers... OK, so grapple lets me haul/push/shove them into the fire...

Party enters a cave where 2 ogres (or trolls or whatever) are crouched in front of a bonfire. The chosen attack strategy of one of the monsters is to grab party members and throw them into the flames (they've got a fire-obsession from their mispent youth!). How would you handle this? Grapple...

Hmmm... an interesting idea, but I'm not sure about balance (not that I'm a guru, though!). 9 points for an ability increase. Human fighter, Int 10 gets 3 skill pts/level. That means +1 STR per 3 levels. I think I'd be willing to dump ranks in Ride or Climb or Jump for that...

How much does Greater Plate weigh? And are you saying it takes a feat to be able to wear it?

L.E. Modesitt, the Saga of Recluse. I love his magic system! Gemmell's Drenai And I'm probably the only one, but I really wanted the Diablo setting to be expanded. The 2 books were pretty lame. More on the lands, history, etc. would have been nice.

Sean Reynold's has a variant rule on his site that applies to everyone (not a feat): http://www.seankreynolds.com/rpgfiles/misc/variantdyingrule.html

Picture the modern martial arts movies: Cradle 2 the Grave, Crouching Tiger, Jackie Chan, etc. Without using Psionics, what would the pre-reqs be for the "Up the Walls" feat? Tumble ranks 10+ Run feat ??

I'd say DR-/4 is a bit powerful for a 2nd level spell, especially with a 1 hour/level duration.

The party enters a tavern. It is filled with adventurers and other PC-classed characters of varying levels. Some are lower level than the party, some are higher (much higher). Short of DM hints ("This one looks way out of your league, better avoid him"), what skill would you use and what DC...

Korimyr, check out the latest Dragon (310), it has Paladin's from every (non-evil) alignment. Not the Holy Liberator, but similar... (edited Dragon issue #)

The Barbarian and Ranger have multiclassing recommendations (and 5 rage feats and 3 Ranger feats). The Fighter classes are variant fighter classes: different class skills, different list of bonus feats to choose from, special abilities (that are chosen in place of bonus feats). Monks are like...
