    Ranged weapon ability

    Doh! I just noticed that I had this as a moderate divination! I had copied another ability from the SRD to get the format right, and forgotten to change that one over. Obviously, this should be transmutation. Main post has been updated.

    Ranged weapon ability

    Thanks, all. I'm glad to see this is receiving positive feedback. I agree that at first glance, the balance of the ability is sketchy... it seems either way overpowered or vastly underpowered. I went through some of the same thoughts as most of you when I was trying to figure out whether to make...

    Epic spellcasting: Is it really feasible?

    Well, I'd rather not overhaul the entire epic spell system, since I've already got my hands full coming up with a bunch of other mechanics. What I think I may do is use some of the comments and suggestions here. I don't want to come up with spells that are mitigated to the point of being too...

    Ranged weapon ability

    No comments? I'm not sure whether that means it's balanced, or people just hate it.

    Epic spellcasting: Is it really feasible?

    I've been looking at some of the epic spells that are in various books, and something keeps striking me as odd. All these epic spells out there have spellcraft DCs in the 100-350 range, and some are even higher. With the way the d20 system and D&D are set up, how in the world could *any*...

    Signal arrow/bolt

    I like these a lot. With Clay_More's suggestions, I'll be adding these as an option for my players and NPCs to use.

    A power attack feat for ranged weapons...

    I like this version. I'll need to tweak it a bit for my campaign, but I'm yoinking it. Thanks, Nifft!

    Ranged weapon ability

    Here's something that came to mind when I was reading the thread on power attack and ranged weapons. Someone mentioned a weapon or item that transformed your arrows into the size of ballista bolts.... well, here's my variation on that theme. I think that by the time characters can afford...

    New weapon ability: Bloodletting

    Should I change it more, then? I don't recall the 3.0 wounding ability, and never owned the 3.0 books, but I remembered seeing something like this. I just like the concept of continuous bloodflow doing actual damage to the enemy. However, it may need a bit more tweaking to get quite right and...

    New weapon ability: Bloodletting

    I know there's already something like this, but I don't want to look for it, and I'm sure it isn't OGC anyways, so here is my variation on the theme. Opinions? I based it off the wounding enhancement, so I think the balance is fairly decent. As it stands, though, I'm not sure if it should be a...

    Naming non-OGL material ok?

    Hey, I'm back with another question about something. I know that I can't reprint, in any way, anything that isn't open game content, but I have a different question. Say I'm statting an NPC or deity for my setting (which will be published online), is it ok to give said NPC levels in a non-OGC...

    How many people have you played D&D with?

    I said 21-40. I'm probably somewhere in the mid to high 20s. I've been playing D&D for only about five or six years, so most of those people were from dorm games, which had a "core" of the same five or six people, then about a dozen who would come in and out.

    Forgotten Realms (and others) Maps Navigator

    Ummm... YEAH! My only wish would be if I could see the back-end code for this. I'd love to see how it works and possibly make my own variations, rather than "having" to use someone else's hosted map.

    Staff Master feat

    I love the idea. In fact, I think I'll steal it and tweak it a bit to fit it into my world. Damn, I love ENWorld! So many good ideas.

    Initiative Spell

    You might take a look at the Celerity spells. They are immediate actions, so you can cast them anytime in a round, and they have varying degrees of letting you "borrow" time from the future to take a move, standard or full round action. Might be what you're looking for, or could help point you...

    Craft Requirements for Item Creation Feats

    Just as a note, I liked this idea enough to see what other item creation feats it could apply to. Here's what I figure works from the SRD. Note I don't have a few on there like Rod, Staff or Wand. There really isn't much in the way of actually crafting anything for these as much as there is for...

    Craft Requirements for Item Creation Feats

    What about a variation on the current version that incorporates the craft skill? Something like changing this: To this: That way, you give both people the option. Perhaps those who are used to crafting certain items are more familiar with the tools and subtleties of the craft, and are...

    Wand in a Weapon?

    In one game I played in, the DM allowed one of the players (a fighter or ranger, I think) to have armor with a small groove etched into it. A wand could fit snugly into the groove and be fastened in place. Since our fighter was *always* dropping, it allowed anyone with healing spells or use...
