    better gaming through chemistry

    A lot of times a book like this is important when you don't have the option to be picky about who you game with. I'm in the military and am stationed in a town with a small gamer base to select from. I've done EVERYTHING to mobilize the gamers in this area so we can communicate, but it isn't...

    I thought I read on here the mob template is in DMG II (EDIT: Sorry, technical difficulties)

    How do you explain RPGs to others?

    My question is how do you separate to people the difference between LARP and table-top RPGs? A lot of people see role-players as dressing up in costumes and swinging swords. How do you convince them that you can portray a character without dressing up? If you use movie analogies it can tend...

    Earth Variant Monk - Critiques?

    Thanks. It's the little tweaks I'm looking for help with. If I thought they were good to go, I wouldn't ask advice, just run with them.

    Earth Variant Monk - Critiques?

    Yeah, good point. I'd rather not keep shifting it, but there's just so many good points of view on these boards with valid support that I'd like to use them but it's hard to keep everything in perspective

    Earth Variant Monk - Critiques?

    Fists.o.Fury: Welcome. As I said about the poison resistance, I personally am just not hot on it, especially as I said when I could trade that off for say resistance from all of the lightning bolts being chucked by air clerics, for ex. The fast movement is looking less and less appropriate to...

    Earth Variant Monk - Critiques?

    Yeah, I do see where you guys are going with some of this, but that's why I put these classes up here in the first place. So, for the paladin/barbarian dichotomy, how would we fix that? Remove the rebuke aspect of the paladin's turn ability and add, say, DR cold to the barbarian? I do want...

    Earth Variant Monk - Critiques?

    Well, these are very valid points, but I think it should be referenced against what I'm trying to do here. I'm not looking to balance these clsses for PvP; I'm trying to balance variant class vs RAW class. The anti-elemental aspects just came from the idea of what struggles have been going on...

    Earth Variant Monk - Critiques?

    Hmmm. Well, I'll go take a look in CW and see the ability to you referenced and get some ideas. I just need to find a way to let these guys get into melee range and not get picked off by a hail of arrows or have the wind characters speed off first.

    Earth Variant Monk - Critiques?

    Good idea Wyrmcrest. Also, I considered giving them a burrow speed. That way they could tunnel under an enemy on the ground and come up to grapple/trip them. What about that?

    Earth Variant Monk - Critiques?

    Aus Snow, glad to hear from you and glad you like what you see. As for the Air-Ranger Earth-Monk dispute, my picture is that the wind rangers are rangers of the open savannahs and deserts (the areas of the world owned by the air powers in my campaign). They literally are more of a "range"-er...

    Earth Variant Monk - Critiques?

    Morning Thia. Hope you've gooten your coffee. Diamond Body - While you can't poison a rock, it's an ability I see as expendable and not central to the Earth theme. If I want to add in other cool abilities, that's one I feel is worth trading off. Don't picture them spending as much time...

    Earth Variant Monk - Critiques?

    Those are pretty good. I actually meant to put in cold iron myself. What do you think about the ones I have so far? Any I should toss?

    Earth Variant Monk - Critiques?

    Doctor Shaft- Thanks for weighing in. The variant classes I've linked to are the replacements for most standard versions in the PHB (there are still standard rangers, but the barbarian, paladin and monk are 1:1 swaps) in my campaign. As for it being geared solely vs. air opponents, that's by...
