Pain spells are an interesting idea... what I used a couple of years ago was to make Mord-Sith based on a Cleric. The "Holy" symbol was the Agiel which damaged anyone not of their alignment (which was Lawful Evil in that game). Instead of Turn Undead they could use the attempt as Spell...

Only one question about this system... would Class level based abilities need to be bought each level? For example Cleric's Turn Undead is granted at 1st level but would have you to keep track of it's improvement by buying it each level after the first? or Do all abilities advance naturally so...

IMHO, the PHB Dwarf is about as balanced as the MM Planetouched without any additional enhancements. I've been doing a very similar thing for my game were I bump all races up to LA +1 and went from there. The long and short of it is... there are no right answers on what is balanced without...

Thanks so much! Looks like I'm going to have a fair amount of reading to do ;). I've added the Explorer's Handbook and Sharn: City of Towers to Glyfair's list above. Doug, thanks for the tips I'll definately keep that in mind. This just sold me! Again thanks to everyone for taking time to...

Glyfair, thanks a ton that's a very good break down of what I was looking for. :) Does little happy dance, William Holder

Well so far I'm really digging the elemental powered train... I don't know why I didn't think of that before... it dovetails so nicely with the way Golems are created... I suppose anything that's uniquely Eberron or just plain cool with the presentation would be my first choice. I'm also very...

So I've just got around to picking up the Campaign Book and was curious what additional reading / source material would be most beneficial. I've really liking what I've seen so far and I am open to just about any suggestion. Thank you for your time, William Holder

Ah... that makes sense... I guess our group uses Dispel Magic a bit heavily so the idea of investing in anything longer just doesn't seem fesible. William Holder

I tried to stay true to the source, thanks for noticing. I think Ryan mentioned something about this before... if not I apologize in advance... I believe the in-between durations don't really matter that much. If a buff is only a few rounds it works for that fight... an hour it last for a few...

If you can get your hands on a copy I would recommend Sword & Sorcery's: Creature Collection series. They contain quite a few different creatures to toss into the mix. I'm also a fan of removing a creature type and giving it a new one changing it's appearance where appropriate and letting the...

Two weeks and 22 downloads later and no suggestions... I guess it looks pretty good :). William Holder

I said the exact same thing when I walked out of the theater. The only other thing I would have done differently was to have Beckett really be Calypso in disguise. When he is walking down as his ship is being blasted to bits he smiles and you see the same dark smile... that would have being...

Here’s a theory... Voldemort wins and commits suicide... no seriously it works... Voldemort tried to kill baby Harry... instead baby Harry kills him... does that mean Harry could have a Horcrux inside of Voldemort? Maybe, the rebounded spell completes the ritual and locks part of Harry's soul...

Sorry for the delay I was out of town... Anywho, Elements of Magic breaks magic down to it's base function. Verb + Noun is how all spells are built. If you want to cast a direct damage spell you can... Evoke (Fire) this simple spell allows the user to define magic as a Fireball, Fire Blast...

Any other comments would be greatly appreciated... Are these three more or less balanced against each other? Thank you for your time, William Holder

If you can use Move (Force) to untie a knot I'm pretty sure you can put a creature into locomotion... Using Compel the creature feels as though the act was their idea... Move (Force) + Move (Air) they would be fully aware of what they were doing regardless of how they felt about it... hence the...

I would seriously recommend Elements of Magic - Revised... it does away with Arcane, Divine, and Psionic distinction... it allows for modular spell creation ( you define, area, range and effect for every spell)... and it's balanced against Core d20. You end up with more flexiblity than the...

True... kind of like a stop motion Frankenstien with jerky arm movements... it just makes me happy :) Using Move (Force) on any creature I see as being like Ella Enchanted. They don't want to do it but are forced to.

Updated: Chart of General Enhancements Since I first introduced a chart of General Enhancements it's under gone some revision. An updated General Enhancement chart is attached. For those who don't know... I basically separated Area and Range and scaled Duration to cost twice the amount of...

I think so... it's really an extra ability that should be a slight edge not the big guns. Usable... easy to remember... and scaleable what more could you ask for :). William Holder
