In UA I believe the spell points per spell level is equal to the caster level first needed to cast spells of that level. One spell point for a level one spell, Three spell points for a level two spell, Five spell points for a level three spell... etcetera. Additionally some spells cost more to...

Spell resistance will work, but it's a non-classified magical damage. Specifically not force, either. Just "magic damage". If it were force it would hit into the ethereal plane, which EB does not do, and a 'force resistance' would work against it. As written it's untyped so nothing other than...

I LOVED Terry Pratchets little gnomes. Of course, to do THAT you'd have to make them smaller still, give them all mobility (or tumble as a racial "class skill"), and give them a bonus to strength! I don't think that monboesen disagreed with the overall 'power level' of the race, just with the...

The double dice weapons, mid to high level monks, feats like monkey grip or improved natural attack where you try to get larger to increase your damage... the enlarge spell which is almost a staple on the fighter in some games. I mean, why would a *fighter* use a longsword? OK, I admit...

The Shere and a Decanter. Yes, I think that would work very well, and not require a really high investment of magic.

Still, I say that even considering a sorc's casting capacity those rings are hugely overpriced. When an item costs so much that most of it's "target audience" (in this case sorcs or wizards) would rather sell it at 1/2 price (and buy another item at FULL) than keep it if they got it in a...

True, a secondary attack with a natural weapon would have it at -5 (and x.5 strength to damage). Two primaries would be at full BAB and only x1.0 strength to damage... Did it make it a secondary attack? Does it get x1.0 strength, x1.5 strength, or x0.5 strength? And, is it just AT a -5 to...

Interesting point, and one that I was considering making an edit to my post to add in. He can roll all the bluff checks if he wants, but if it's against another PC, that PC gets to set the "situational modifier" himself. Meaning I'll let them do it if they want to make it random themselves, but...

Some people call a LOT of things railroading. I think that, in this instance, you were "railroading" in the sense that you were GMing a game... At least that's what I get there. This is, of course, the best way to handle it. I'll additionally suggest that, instead of telling your players to...

While I understand where you're coming from, if you research the math of the penalties involved you'll discover the penalty for small size IS an effective strength penalty. (Sometimes a very high one, depending on weapon-type). It averages out to about a -4 strength penalty if you just look at...

True. Of cousre, even for a sorc those rings are overpriced.

Without a level advancement? No... For some slower advancing games I've had parital advancement actually. Depending on how partial it way, we'd generally divide the skill points and abilities in half or quarters, and grant the abilities incrementally through the level. Of course, this requires...

I'd let the double Y work... assuming, of course, there was a sufficient slope. I'd also let a simple circle and a water elemental work... assuming you filled the circle with water the elemental can make the water circle continuously, thereby producing "running water". I suggest you dig the...

I do think that the system is interesting, but I agree in general with Andre here. The way the 3.X system is arranged you "spontaniously level". What it seems that you're trying to represent here is a gradual learning to allow multiclassing. Hence a fighter who wants to be a thief buying some...

OOh. I want to answer that because I do something very similiar. It's different because in my judgement as a GM, when I stop counting expended items against character wealth, there are a certain amount of expended items that I continue to count. That being, mainly, tomes and other items that...

As a point of curiosity, what did they price those spellgems or knowstones? I agree that they're much needed, and I've contemplated various methods of incorporating such an item into my game, along with possible prices (I normally use wands as a carrying vessel... that that's immaterial).

It he can't see him, he can't target him. (Note Mzsylver: Not even with a successful listen check. However some attacks don't require that you SEE the target. I'd like to nominate Glitterdust here.) Other players have meantioned it. If you can even get CLOSE to where the guy's hiding, that...

Wait... there's a second slam feat? Where is this feat? Can you post details?

The Battlefist is a special item. It specifically 'breaks' certain rules... or rather, it doesn't break the rules so much as it has multiple effects. OK... it's a +1 weapon. It says that so it indeed IS a weapon, and therefore you can use it as a weapon doing the damage it states, and it gets...

Well, I suppose that means it wasn't a house-rule after all. Good to know! And while they have a listed price for "luck", "insight", and "other" bonuses for AC and resistance, they don't have such listed for ability bonuses. So that throws any non-enhancement bonuses to ability farther into...
