I agree that the animal companions need work, but I actually like having them in the class. It definitely adds more of the "nature" feel to it. I've toyed with the idea of simply increasing the effective level of the ranger to 3/4 instead of 1/2 for the purpose of determining the companion's...

Something a friend of mine suggested that I'm considering is adding in the quickdraw feat for free. I'd probably add it in at 5th level when the ranger gets the second combat style. Also, somewhere around 12th level (if I do the free quickdraw), I'll probably give the ranger an ability that lets...

I've always hated the fact that rangers have to pick between two different combat styles. I like the idea of a woodland fighter who can switch between melee and ranged combat with ease. What do you think of this as an alternate class ability?

That's basically what I did. He's still technically "Fine" sized, but he merely shrunk a second time. I didn't give him any mechanical benefits, though I did tell him that if I miscalculated the size bonus to Hide, he could keep the greater one because of his extremely small size. That's the...

Thanks a bunch.

I completely agree. That's why I said at the beginning that I knew as it is right now there's no reason for a player to pick the class over anything else. I like a lot of the suggestions you posted, so I think I'll rework some of the abilities and repost the class over the weekend. The version...

*bump* Any suggestions?

Thanks for the advice. I've made some changes to the races and will be throwing a few of them at my party in the next couple of weeks as a test of some of their abilities. I'll post back here with some observations. Any other thoughts or advice? I obviously won't be able to playtest all of...

Something that I've had for a little while now, but just getting around to posting. They're a pretty much complete race, but if something looks way out of whack, I'm willing to take a look.

I'm working on an Inventor class for my homebrew. I am trying to keep away from actually having the character be able to use magic, but somehow allow them to use scrolls (or other magic items) as the source for the necessary magic to create magical items. Here is the class as is, but I think it...

JiCi, I want to use some of these in my homebrew, but will eventually be publishing it as a (free) PDF. Could you email me through the boards so I can let you know what I want to use and get all that squared away?

Thanks a bunch. I was trying to find that, but was primarily looking in the epic Psion's class entry. Based on my understanding of that, it looks like you basically gain power points according to just your ability mod * 20 (max level) * .5. So as your ability goes up, so do your bonus power...

Thanks for the input. I'll definitely be revamping the race taking into account the advice here.

According to the SRD, bonus power points are calculated by taking the key ability modifier * manifester level * .5. The base formula would imply that your bonus points continue even into epic levels, but in the Psion epic class description, it explicitly states that base power points don't...

Here's a second half-race I'm working on for my homebrew. I've decided that the nature of the world would result in a lot of different half-races. More to come on that.

I can't seem to find anything in the SRD. Most spells and effects have a counterpart in the psionic system, but I can't seem to find anything that allows planar travel. I'm sure it's there somewhere, but what is the name?

Ok, so I'm running the WLD, and the party has gotten hold of a Rod of Wonder. At the beginning of tonight's session, the Wizard (who is was carrying the Rod) asked about the 66-69 result, which is something to the effect of "Wielder turns 1/12 size (no save)". I ruled that it would be an...

I think I've figured out what the problem is with my tiddlywiki. For now, though, I'll post the rules here.

Some quick and dirty rules. I've never really liked the mechanic for speaking languages. After reading about the Kalamar approach, I decided to write up something for my homebrew. Thought I'd share this here. It's pretty rough, but it was somewhat hastily put together. I'd love opinions on it...

It's most likely because I'm using a wiki called TiddlyWiki. The whole thing is a single HTML file (~900k). It makes it phenomenally more simple to edit locally, but increases the load time remotely. The author is working on ways to allow larger files to be loaded on demand, but for now the file...
