This. Monster namings (and adjectives attached to them, I.E. Orc Dragonbane) can be thought of as metagame concepts. Plus, they can be sooo easily dropped that it seems like a waste to not include them. To most not native English speakers they sound pretty cool, too. I'd rather fight a Gnoll...

Crap! I read the first page and then wrote a text-wall! It is all meaningless now, since the game has already started, but I'll post it anyway because it's cool! If you want to go melee, then probably the best races are Oakling (+2 Str/+2 Wis/ -2 Cha plus a bunch of top tier racial features...

Because 4e adressed the problems that 3e had, so that means they are learning. If 5e adresses 4e problems while minding 3e problems as well, we will get a kickass game. Edit: minor typo

If this is the case, then I would say that the spell ends right away, since Permanency states that it changes the duration of the target spell to "Permanent", therefore ending it right away. Thanks for the answers, anyone else has other interpretations?

Hello! I was wondering how dispel magic interacts with a spell made permanent by Permanency. The case in question is a caster who wants to place Enlarge Person on himself and then make it permanent. The wording on the SRD seems vague about this. What happens if he gets targeted with Dispel...

A quick browse of the relevant archetypes reveals that NON of them offers any significant advantage over the vanilla fighter... The feat choice seems pretty much ok, but most of the choices can be made based on flavor or the type of campaign you are playing without significantly affecting the...

This seems reasonable. You won't be Tier 1, but the thing is that Step Up can really destroy a caster once you get close to him. As a barbarian you can get Superticious as a rage power and, frankly, I recomend you go Fighter 2 Barbarian 18. The fighter bonus feats are nice, but the barbarian...

Basically this, should we have proper nouns on spell name's? Like, Melf's Acid Arrow, Otiluke's Resilient Sphere, etc... In my opinion yes, sparringly. They are quite flavourful, easy to remove (Acid arrow; Resilient Sphere) and add a lot to the story of the setting.

I would say no. Faconeer lets you trade an almost useless class feature (wild empaty) and a combat style feat for a couple of slight power-ups for the bird... If the same archetype axisted for wolves or something like that, then it would be worth it. As it is, the feat is more valuable (in my...

Well... after all you've said... you know, he could go full ranger with a 1 (maybe ") level dip Inquisitor. 1 level gives you the Domain, Judgement, Monster Lore, Orisons and Stern Gaze. All pretty good, pretty useful things. 2 levels gives you all that plus Cunning Initiative and Detect...

Deadly aim is also good, but there are other, more vital, feats that you should pick before that. Like, yes, Rapid Shot

A couple of ranger levels will give him some much needed BAB, a free archery feat, favorite enemy (this can be very flavorful/powerful depending on the type of campaign you are playing) and tracking (I think it stacks with the inquisitor class feature). BUT, bear in mind, that this will delay...

Travel is top tier

Archer Avengers are the way to go Archer avengers are quite effective. Get a str 14, high dex and then wisdom. Judgments are versatile, because you know all of them right at the beginning and can use them to pretty much everything. Monster knowledge is cool and adding your WIS bonus to...

As for spellcasters, you could make them need to rest more than 8 hs in order to regain spells. You could say that resting 8 hours replanishes, like 25% of spells slots, or something like that. That way, spellcasters also have to take long rest periods like fighter types

Franz Brauburger's Ultimate Deception School illusion (figment, glamer); Level alchemist 7,sorcerer/wizard 7, bard 6 Casting Time 1 standard action Components S Range close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels) Target/Effect you/one invisible illusory double Duration 1 round/level (D) and concentration +...

You know, I was about to suggest Mithril Buckler, but then I re-read the monk weapon and armor proficiencies and realized it doesn't work. Mithril Buckers are stupid good. They only cost 1k gp and give you +1 to you AC and you can further enchant them and they lack arcane spell failure or...

I like the idea that Class is more important than Race.. It just kinda makes sense to me. My Wizard characters are defined by the fact that they studied the arcane arts, not by weather they have pointy ears or not. That being said, I would like something on the lines of the later books for 4e...

It think not... The "Holy Tetrafecta" of Fighter/Thief/Wizard/Cleric is there for a REASON. Not only do they naturally fulfill the four roles "realistically" needed to adventure on a fantasy setting (Frontline combatant/Specialist/Arcane expert/Healer), they are also so omnipresent on the...

I can see someone not wanting to have the spell affecting artifacts (I wouldn't allow it). But I don't understand you reasons to ask for higher level/cost. To me whole point of the WBL system is to let the DM know if the characters are under/over equipped. HOW they acquired the wealth is pretty...
