    Bluff vs. Sense Motive

    I've totally missed that. Thanks for that good egg!

    Bluff vs. Sense Motive

    If I were the manipulative BBEG and an inquisitor PC was making my life difficult, I'd try to secretly turn that PC to my side and use him to manipulate the party.

    A spell that makes creatures.

    Yeah, if you wanted your spell to function as-written, I'd say you need to change the duration from Permanant/Instantaneous to 1 min/lev.

    Half-breed feats

    I agree with Archade. The original feats you propose are too powerful, and they aren't on par with each other, balance-wise. I think you could make them slightly more powerful than regular feats, using the same mindset of the regional feats from Forgotten Realms.

    Using Heal skill to actually cure wounds without rest.

    I would use this as a viable alternative in a no-magic or low-magic campaign setting. In a normal magic game, I don't see it being that useful, but I don't see it as being that game-breaking either. I'd limit the number of heal checks you can make to 1 per day though. Or 1 per wound.

    Suggestions to replace Half-Elves

    In my game, celestial-blooded are perfectly symmetrical. In nature, the human perception defines beauty as being as close to symmetrical as possible. But actually seeing it is slightly off-putting (without being too obvious). Other things tip them off are that their eyes reflect in the dark...

    Why aren't flat chested women ever barmaids?

    I have a couple of answers for this. I've worked as a waitress/bartender, and the most applicable of these situations would be my experience at the Piratz Tavern, where all of the staff dress like piratz. #1. It is easier to carry/balance plates, steins, etc. on good cleavage. I can...

    Best Character For A New Player?

    Heh, I'll tell you that the best character for a 1st timer is not a 10th level cleric. In my first D&D game, I joined a mid-level campaign who needed a cleric. The players often remarked that I always had the best spells prepared every day. And I had no idea that the clerics needed to prepare...

    Bluff vs. Sense Motive

    It seems like it's alot easier to bluff than it is to sense that someone is doing so. Magic items and spells that enhance the wearer/caster's ability to bluff seem to be everywhere, whereas I'm not finding anything similar for Sense motive. For Example: + to Sense Motive: Periapt of Wisdom...

    Non-Lethal Substitution

    I have a love-hate relationship with metamagic feats. I love them when I play a spontaneous caster. I hate them when I'm not. I have developed a quasi-love for the Sudden metamagic feats, but they're limited to the main sub-set of metamagic feats. So what's a girl to do when her Wizard...

    Possible houserules

    Sounds like you want spontaneous casters. Why not ditch wizards entirely, and stick with characters that are more limited selection wise, but still versatile. (Sorceror, Battle Sorceror, Warmage, Beguiler, Duskblade) I think this is also a matter of DMing style. Perhaps the DM could tailor...

    What Knowledge Skill do you use/allow?

    Knowledge skills my PCs actually have ranks in right now: Arcana History Nature Nobility & Royalty The Planes Religion For my campaigns, I run knowledge a bit differently. I find that my players rarely invest in any knowledges at all, so I've tried to add a bit of an incentive. For each main...

    Some maps & artwork from my campaign.

    Wow, Kris! Your map-work is really amazing. You have a great versatility and diversity of style. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

    That's beautiful!

    Thoughts on Fochlucan lyrist?

    I'm playing one right now, but to be fair, I stretched the rules to the point of breaking. Progression is: Rogue 2/Wizard 5/Loremaster 2/Cloistered Cleric 1/Fochluan Lyrist 10 Or, if your DM doesn't believe that Lore and Bardic Knowledge are the same: Rogue 2/Wizard 5/Loremaster 1/Prestige...

    What level is your current character?

    I have PCs at 16 and 20 right now which I have played up from level 1. I have another PC at 11, which I have played from level 8.
