I agree... one additional feat to forgo lots of useless abilities seems a fair trade. William Holder PS ~ Shouldn't this be in House Rules?

I played a paladin in 2nd who fell from grace. I stayed with the character who ended up taking on a very vigilante... Punisher kind of air. He hunted evil down in all it's forms... one of the more interesting characters I played... oddly I haven't had the desire to play one since. One thing...

I've looked at buy the numbers but my group isn't quite ready for that yet. They still need some kind of chart to follow. Currently we are looking at having just two base classes one with a high BAB and larger HD the other with casting, poor BAB and smaller HD. All former class abilities can be...

How about this as a suggestion to replace #1... limit augmentation with counters. Whenever you augment a Power you have to wait a number of rounds equal to the amount of pp spent on that manifestation before you can augment again. For instance a level 3 Psion uses Energy Ray ( 1 pp ) spending 2...

I read through your rules but I fail to see why a Wizard is allowed to use his best up front without penalty but a Psion can not. Keep in mind that a Psion can only use a number of power points equal to his manifester level in a single manifestation... the most overlooked rule in Psionics...

Not really... if you up the skill progression of the other two classes the role can be filled. I'd allow free multi-classing with this system... with no cross-classed skills you could build a medium BAB that specialized in spells for knock and the like. It's a matter of preference I suppose...

Does that mean a Time Lord can have control over multiple universes at the same time? or by giving birth to a universe it ensures that a Time Lord now a Demiurge presides over only one universe at a time? And does giving birth to a universe give it some greater claim to that universe so it can...

I have been toying around with the three standard generic classes a bit and came to the realization that with spells like knock and detect traps, magic, poison, etc. expert is really not needed. That's when I noticed something very odd. The Warrior and the Spellcaster ( and like wise the...

UA has a crafting point system in which it takes far less time to complete an item... though the checks required get higher the less time you want to spend on the item... it has been balanced in our games so far... check it out here...

Just a thought... In my experience D&D will not lend itself well to this distinction... (see below) In order for this to work you'll need to define or redefine a few things in your campaign... first does Animate Dead have the [ Evil ] descriptor. If so why? If it is because a spirit can't rest...

For some reason this is a popular theory as of late. I seem to recall gaming in my youth "Necromancers" were synonymous with "Evil Clerics" or "Death Priest". Why "should" mere mortals be capable of matching the will of the Gods (acting through their Clerics of course) at all levels of play...

An idea you may like is add a +1 LA to that character so they don't "level up" with everyone else. Allow them to "buy it off" by spending the appropriate experience at a later date. It's quick neat and has long term consequences without the mess of "lossing a level". Just a thought, William...

I have a question on a similar note... when a new universe comes into being is it an arms race within that universe to become the first Demiurge and eventually the Time Lord of that universe? or do Demiurges and Time Lords of other universes try to lay claim before to that tilte before that...

It's a bit older but I would suggest Hunter of the Dead PrC. It's a solid build with one thing in mind. If you don't use favored classes or multi-class penanlties... a level in Ranger for Favored Enemy: Undead would help add some focus to the character. Hope this helps, William Holder

I read a good point about why lawful societies would not do such a thing... but what about a very zealous church who wishes to "redeem" all of the evil in the world. Anyone who detects as evil weather they have committed a crime or not is hunted down and forcibly changed... possibly dominated...

Correct, non-specialist are on par with Core and Specialist can do more at the cost of a feat and some skill point expenditure. Hope this helps, William Holder

Another alternative is get your Diplomacy up and take the Summon Specialist feat. If you are building a Mage from scratch make diplomacy one of your class skills. Charisma is already helpful for a Mage so you should not have any trouble summoning something useful at any level. Hope this...

1. I once played D&D at a Myrtle Beach, SC during Bike Week. 2. My wife introduced me to gaming and is our current DM. 3. I have never been to Gen Con. Lie: William Holder

I love that module... then again I liked the two Alice modules as well... is that campy? William Holder

QFT /rant If people would just take responsibility for their own actions and be held accountable for said actions most of the problems we face would be null and void. Making excuses for these people will only continue to degrade what little bit of self reliance we can claim. Before long...
