    How much BAB is a feat worth?

    If I were to allow it to be bought a 1 for 1 sounds about right... though I probably would never allow it do to other abilities like Power Attack. If I did allow for it... the extra BAB would come with a list of restrictions and most likely become a "Virtual Base Attack Modifier" instead of a...

    What is Powerful Build worth?

    Half-Giants have the Powerful Build ability which treats them as being one size larger whenever it would be a benefit to them... in designing a new monster or PC race what value would you place on the Powerful Build ability? In advancing a Monster by size could you substitue the Powerful Build...

    RW, are there any other myths about the interaction between the four spirits? Or will any additional background material be released? Keep up the outstanding work! William Holder

    buying xp

    I think I read somewhere that 1xp = 12.5gp... I remember now... Item creation... If item cost 100gp = 50gp + 4xp therefore 12.5gp = 1xp... I'd use that to keep things relatively balanced. Hope this helps, William Holder

    New Healer Spell List

    If you are going with a strict healer that can get in heal and get out again I might would drop the Heavy Armor and maybe include Uncanny Dodge as a class feature... that or I would probably add some means of healing at range without using a mass heal. As a side note: we changed level 0 Cure...

    Difficulty Level vs Character Level

    It varies... the challenge can be as easy or hard as the party makes it. I do increase the difficulty of the challenges presented to the players. However, the level of the challenge varies greatly per encounter depending mainly on the party's objectives. We have a lot of puzzles and riddles...

    An Elegant Fighter Fix

    Are you kidding?!? Wow, I might have to pick up that book now. :) Not to derail but what is wrong with that solution? Is it on a higher power curve than Core material or does it just not have the right 'feel' for a Fighter? Thank you for your time, William Holder PS ~ Would you recommend the PH2?

    An Elegant Fighter Fix

    If you want to get people to stick with the fighter make a few feats that get better the more fighter levels you take. Most people dipping into Fighter do it for either 1 level or they hang around until level 4. Greater Weapon Focus and Great Weapon Specialization are not attractive enough...

    Psionic Focus and YOU!

    Is there any other way to gain a Psionic Focus without spending a Full Round Action provoking attacks of opportunity?

    Damage as SFX

    One problem I see right off the bat is a barbarian dealing 1d12 damage at level one and no other Core Class can match him... that means a Barbarian has a chance to drop any 1 HD creature even without making a critical hit... and most 2 HD creatures with a critical hit... the Fighter and the...

    A Campaign With a Silly (But Interesting) Twist

    I have seen this type of approach used in various games I've played in by very different DM's... usually when a PC becomes too "Evil" for the standard group of Heroes. I have no problem with this mechanic as long as every PC is given a fair and clear warning about what type of balance you are...

    Necklace of Fireballs - what's "simultaneous" detonation?

    Does that mean you can Disarm a Necklace of Fireballs ( i.e. snatch ) to prevent detonation? For example: Rogue has initiative and notices the held party Halfling is wearing a Necklace of Fireballs and is the target of a Fire Spell... so the Rogue makes a disarm attempt to snatch the necklace...

    Weapons as special effects

    /cast Thread Resurrection I too am curious on how games that have adopted this combat mechanic have fared... I am seriously considering using this House Rule in my up coming campaign and would like to know if any improvements or alterations had to be made. Thank you for your time, William Holder

    The Saga Strikes Back

    You should check out Star Wars: Infinities... a comic series put out by Dark Horse... it has a very different Star Wars reality. Thank you for your time, William Holder

    Necromancy and YOU

    I've never agreed with the schools of magic in D&D... it was a cumbersome system that was shoved into 2nd without much thought other than it sounded cool. Honestly, the 'eight schools of magic' is probably one of the worst holdovers from 2nd... IMHO. /rant off If you are married to the idea...

    Poll: What base classes would you prefer to see as prestige classes instead?

    Interesting to note... as of right now the archetypes are the only ones in the low single digits. Thank you for your time, William Holder

    Great Job! Awesome... I just finished reading through the first adventure and wow... the attention to detail is remarkable. From reading the Campaign Guide and Player's Guide I think I can see were some of this is heading already and I'm very excited about what comes next. I do have a...
