I'm trying to find out if anyone has made dead levels for any other classes besides what was in the Dead Levels 1 & 2 articles at Wizards. Since I'm using these rules for the core classes, I was also wanting to add this option to my players for the rest of the SRD classes (read: psionic...

I didn't see this anywhere in the SRD, but if a character was charging at a door (for the purpose of knocking it off its hinges), would they gain any kind of bonus to their strength check? I'd be inclined to say they gain at least the +2 for charging, but it seems they might get more of a bonus...

I like this idea quite a bit. Consider it yoinked.

One of the groups that I am DMing had an encounter with the deck of many things last night. I used the variant posted on the Wizards web site that coincided with the PHBII, and the rogue character actually drew (twice) the Rogue card, which requires that he retrain two levels of rogue into...

I'm working with one of my players to tweak the Arcane Archer class a bit for his character. He's a ranger with the ranged weapon styles and a variant spell progression that replaces the animal companion. Since he has a more diverse spell selection, we're trying to rework the arcane archer to...

I'm working on a sorcerer variant that will be a similar concept to the warmage. I'm blending the idea of the warmage and a specialist wizard. I need some spell lists for specialist sorcerers. They will have a set spell list with banned schools in the same fashion as the spec wizards, but can...

I originally posted this over in the Rogues Gallery, but I realized since what I'm looking for primarily is help proofreading I should post it over here. I'm working on fleshing out a city for my campaign. The basic premise is that the city is inhabited by a bunch of wild elves. They are a...

I'm working on fleshing out a city for my campaign. The basic premise is that the city is inhabited by a bunch of wild elves. They are a tribe of wereape barbarians cut off from civilization for centuries (still working on several "whys", so just go with it for now). Basically, the main defense...

Sample Horror Zombie Ogre

Sorry, I guess that was poorly worded. I intended for critical hits to be treated as shots to the head, therefore bypassing the DR of the zombie. Edit: Would a bonus to AC (for the called shot) or a miss chance be a better way of showing that? Also, I'd hate to have there be a true "one shot"...

After the discussion over here, I wanted to come up with something that could work easily and functioned as a template to add to just about any creature. Nyeshet also did a version of this in the same thread, but mine is quite a bit different. I'd like some help figuring the CR for the...

Well, I did it a bit differently, but I'd also like opinions. I couldn't come up with a name for them, so (if it's no difference to you) I'll also call them Horror Zombies. Edit: Here's the link.

I like this idea a lot. In fact, even without running a whole campaign or adventure centered around these guys, I think I may take this and whip up some stats to throw at one of my parties in the next couple of weeks. At the very least, it'll scare the crap out of them when they realize these...

Having seen (in one or two books, IIRC) a feat specifically for obtaining a familiar (appropriately called "Obtain Familiar"), I gave my players the option of simply choosing any other feat they qualified for at 1st level. It's not game-breaking, and it lets them decide whether they want to deal...

Thanks for the feedback. Yes, I don't really consider them a completely separate race. All of the crossbreeds that I'm working on will be simply for the sake of statting them out, and will not be major races in my world. Hence the lack of an Elfling language.

I answered 5-6 since that's typically my average. However, I'm running the WLD right now, so my average is a bit off. One party has had five deaths (at level 6 right now), and the other has had five as well, but they're at level 7. I figure both parties will wind up losing a combined total of...

Thanks for all of the advice. I've updated the class and reposted in the first post. I'd like more feedback on whether it's at "that point" or still getting there.

Well, his move is 2.5 feet, so a 5-ft. step for him is a double move action.

The class has been updated with a couple of your suggestions and a few things that never sat right with me (such as the scroll thing). I've reworked the Specialized Crafting ability and added two others: Master of Devices and Rapid Usage.

I was thinking along those lines, too, but wanted to see how this fared in terms of balance. I'm still moving things around (though I don't think I'll be adding anything else), so I'm open for suggestions. I'll move things around a bit and repost in a couple minutes. As for the free action...
