"sodding"? Hmmm. I do like the way that Planescape and Spike from Buffy have brought back turn of the century cockney slang but you people *do* know what "sod" is short for, don't you? I really hope no one tells Eric's Grandmother... :eek: :confused: ;) :D :rolleyes:

When firearms first appeared, soldiers still wore armor, though lighter armor. See the standard breastplate of the British Civil War era soldiers. (Note that the biggest danger to modern bullet proof vest and helmet wearing SWAT-style police is not firarms, but bladed weapons. They are almost...

Well, the spell does say the target is compelled to do the situps "as fast as she can".... :-) The DC will be the normal DC for a spell of that level.

How's this? BIMPNOTTEN BREAKTHING'S ABDOMINAL DESTRUCTION (a.k.a. "Bimp's Barbaric Abs of Pain") Enchantment (Compulsion) [Mind-Affecting] Level: Sor/Wiz 2 Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 action Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels) Target: One humanoid of Medium-size or smaller Duration...

One of my players is a regular gym goer and she HATES sit-ups and abdominal crunches. In my game she playes a chaotic neutral gnomish druid/illusionist/rogue trickster (heading for a special custom prestige class we're designing) named "Bimpnotten Breakthing" - "Bimp" for short. Think of a...

So what's the plan? So, Blackjack, what's the plan? For what it's worth, if I were in your shoes and had come to the same conclusion about Sir Ghouleax being a distraction from the White Kingdom, I'd have simply ignored him and gone about my business. But, then again, there is the possibility...

I think the point is that if you're wrong, come next session, you won't be a 15th level fighter, you'll be a "featless fighter" - that is, effectively, a 15th level Warrior (the NPC class). That's gotta suck. In fact, come to think of it, does Piratecat have it in for your paladinhood? I...

Don't do this to me again, George When I first saw the trailer for Episode I: The Disappearing Plot, I loved it, it set shivers down my spine. Then I saw the movie. This latest trailer has also sent shivers down my spine. Please don't do this to me again, George. But, I may relent from my...

Legal position I put this on the thread earlier today and then thought better of it. Now I've thought better about thinking better of it, if you get my drift. :) I'd be interested in any American lawyers views on the differences between Australian and US defamation law. I repeat, this is not...

I cause characters to advance one age category whenever tehy come back from the dead. For details see here

Re: looks good to me ... Yes, but part of the whole idea is to give the character flexibility later on to accomodate evolving character conceptions that, by definition, could not have been predictedat first level. Unlike feats such as Spellcasting Prodigy from the FRCS, I cannot see any RP...

How is this overpowered? I'm trying to understand why people might think this feat is overpowered. It's not as if everyone would take it - only characters who would like to multiclass in three classes where classes other than their favoured class (or highest class for humans and half-elves)...

Names Atticus_of_Amber was the name of a character I ran in a very short lived Amber Diceless RPG campaign. He was the illegitimate son of Bleys and Jasra (yes Bleys and Jasra, you heard that right). He'd been abandoned in shadow as a teenager - he was an embarrassment to his mother given her...

No prerequisites No pre-requisites. The balancing factor is that you have to "waste" a feat to do it. The whole concept is to allow greater flexibiity to players to develop their own character concepts. Putting limits on ability scores or race defeats the purpsoe - but what if I want to...

Which name? "Atticus_of_Amber" or "Bimpnotten Breakthing"?

That sort of defeats the purpose - allowing a character to grow and evolve, without the multiclassing XP penalties getting in the way. Very many campaigns house rule the multiclassing XP penalties out of existence. I think it's a rule of marginal utility. However, one of the principles behind...

NEW GENERAL FEAT: ADDITIONAL FAVOURED CLASS You are more able than most to keep up with more than one profession. Benefit: You may choose one class to be an additional favoured class for you. You don't count levels in that class for the purposes of calculating XP penalties for multiclassing...

Multiclassing penalties In my campaign, I haven't house ruled multiclassing, but I have come up with a "solution". In many cases in 3e, whenever there is an inconvenient rule, there is a way around it with a feat. Here's what I've done. NEW GENERAL FEAT: ADDITIONAL FAVOURED CLASS You are...

Someone brought this up in another thread about killing just killing an enemies hostages and raising them later. A similar issue came up with the infamous "baby shields" in Piratecat's Defenders of Daybreak story hour campaign. I've posted this before, but I thought I'd do so again in case...
