    Scaling +2/+2 Skills

    My initial, totally unthought out thought to this was a simple: +1 to this skill for every two character levels. I suspected it would be overpowered, and I'm not surprised by reading other suggestions that it is compared to them. Although I did notice one big difference other than power level...

    Wish question

    See, that sounds like a perfectly valid twisting of the wish right there. The GM could either have a number of enemies appear that would fill the available space, lowest level enemies first, and have the party need to hold their breath while attempting to get out of the suffocating crush... or...

    Spring attack

    I'm going to go out on a limb here and point out that the feat also does not say that it can be used while using land based motion...

    New class for review - The Commando

    Thrown weapons. Point blank shot at sixth level... personally I can't see a character who does thrown weapons waiting until sixth level to get point blank shot. Which brings me to my further thought (Pause for quote) I agree. The one I noted being just from a cursory glance. I'd suggest...

    Wizard using a Cleric-type wand?

    Definitely a wonderous item, that... And, you know, when going for custom wonderous items, why not make one with X/Day charges? I know that's what I prefer!

    A Wizard's question on Grapple

    Freedom of Movement, good but expensive. Add it to a Hand of Glory (I think that's the one) which is a necklace slot item that lets you wear a ring, and also lets you see invisible once per day (I've known people to take the item just for that). DDoor is great, so is contingency: DDoor...

    Magically Enhanced Natural Attacks?

    Personally, I'd let him do it with metal horn-tips. Flat out, as a weapon. There is the aforemeantioned Amulet of Mighty Fists. You should note that WoTC has stated that they used the 1.5X price penalty for this item for using a non-affinity slot. (Making it cost 50% more than what they...

    What class for a fifth player?

    I picked Barb. Mainly for it's "Can replace the fighter" angle, along with a little wilderness ability. But in general I'd agree with "whatever you want to play". Barb or Ranger for fighting and wilderness skill... a ranger can use cure wands, which is a good additional ability... druid maybe...

    Is the Bard broken?

    Now, personally, I see this as a big problem. When someone starts out with "Given: The bard is underpowered and needs to be fixed." And then asks for opinions on how to "fix" it, that person is not asking to be told the bard is fine. And doing so is extrememly counterproductive and at least a...

    Is the Bard broken?

    I'd say go with Arcane Trickster, sorc based. You'd get someone with plenty of fighting ability (poor BaB, but rogue sneak attacks!) casting just a few levels below a pure sorc (1 1/2 spell levels, he'll still get 9th level spells at 20), and naturally talented at diplomacy. That's a lot better...

    This ranger is unbalanced?

    A small point of contention... I'd say +1 to attack and to damage is a larger bonus overall than +2 to damage. You can often trade in +1 to hit for some other bonus, even an additional +1 or more damage!

    Rage and Fatigue- fix

    I'll start by saying that, in general, I agree with your thoughts on the subject... So much so that I not only house-ruled the duration of the fatige IMC, but I never noticed that fatigue and the ability to rage again were NOT connected until it was pointed out later. I mean, of COURSE the...

    Spring attack

    I'm going with this interpretation. Spring attack has higher requirements than Fly By Attack, doesn't list a movement type needed, and therefore I'd say you can use it while flying. And while swimming... and burrowing or crawling, assuming you could get a movement speed in one of those that...

    Wish question

    Yea, now that limit is indeed what's "safe", and condoned for everyday use. The GM in the above dragon instance would be fully expected to give the wish as worded, as long as it fits under the auspice of the "safe" list. And he *might* give it as worded more powerfully than the safe list (IE no...

    Curbing Multi-classing

    Well, to be fair I just enjoy making up stories. That's why I game. Racials.... Now that's a slightly different topic. I personally do like to remove the racial multiclassing penalties (edit: And benifits). I dissaprove of "favored class", in that I feel THAT is simply about stereotyping...

    Curbing Multi-classing

    Now, I feel I should also meantion that he started out as a level one character. Which in many ways makes storylines like the above a little obsolete. In reality he left his tribe after becoming only level one, and I have in the story that he manifested some magic, but of course in game...

    Curbing Multi-classing

    Actually that's exactly what I had happen... the character started out as a barbarian, a strapping big one. But felt an .. urge, a prediliction towards magic, which lead him to the city, to try to discover his roots. Plus the barbarian tribe he was from felt distinctly uneasy about magic, not so...

    Curbing Multi-classing

    PS, I was more meaning to be "telling you" as if I were a player of yours.... And to be honest, I have plenty of concepts I like to play that would fit fine under the restrictions you meantioned. And if we were to meet and I were to be 'introduced' to your game as a potential new player, I'd...

    Curbing Multi-classing

    Hah! You mean, if they plan correctly they will have prepared themselves with the qualifications to enter a different PrC, but since you resent and distrust imagination and "multiclassing" you'll punish them for having a different viewpoint than yours and you'll and call them "munchkins" for...
