there are no different marks. a paladin's mark is the same as the fighter's mark or any other mark. the method of marking is different though, and the power used to mark someone can have additional effects (like the paladin's marking power, which marks and can cause damage). marked is a specific...

replace magic bonuses with quality bonuses. reskinning is your friend. alternatively, use different materials (+0 sword: bronze, +1 sword: iron, +2 sword: steel) etc.

one more option in the rules (and your DM may not like this): when you're prone, an ally can share your space. when you stand up and your space is occupied, you get a free shift to an adjacent square. like the square next to your enemy...)

not only does it get silly, it gets unbalanced. just slide the enemy through the wall of fire 79 times(for 247d6+456 fire damage). if you allow complete control over the slide, you essentially create an infinite damage combo, since the distance of the slide is undetermined. infinite damage is bad.

I only checked the PH, so there's probably more. 3 comprehend langage rituals each day is the linguist feat (at 30gp/day) phantom steed can create flying mounts for the whole party. I don't think it's a problem though.

although strictly against in the rules, I would also allow a player to pull a grabbed rider from his mount using the 'move a grabbed target' rule. that's 2 standard actions though (one for the grab, one for the pulling).

setting up mirrors to create LoS for a teleport: yes. creative use, setup (a skill challenge as you suggest) is required so it's very situational. I'd allow it if only just for coolness. for an attack I wouldn't allow it, since you need line of effect to target something. using mirrors to get...

some quick 'historic' research suggests another treatment involving the skin of lesbian mortals...

yes, you can use it while mounted. result: you're not mounted any longer. being mounted doesn't change your spreed, you just use a move-action to command your mount to move its speed with you on it. ofcourse, you could just not shift, and stay mounted that way.

guess I'll just call it 'screwed'. usually, you're screwed because you are unconscious. Unconscious: • You're screwed. • You take a -5 penalty to all defenses. • You can't take actions. • You fall prone, if possible. • You can't flank an enemy.

but... a wall of fire spell is different from a wall of fire, just like the sleep spell makes you unconscious, not asleep. a spell of the same name isn't necessarily the same as the non-magic effect it was named after.

I just ran into this thread (congrats on the site), and would just like to point you to cryptozoology.com which has quite a bit of info on cryptids, and many weird animal pics.

not all adventurers are cut out to be a king. Just go and have a look at "The Beastmaster". Did Dar claim his rightful place on the throne as the lost heir? no. he kept quiet, in favour of his younger brother Tal who was raised to be king. great movie...

the enchant item ritual allows you to resize magic armours, without a component cost. I see no problem in extending this to weapons too.

in my 3.5 game I've houseruled improved toughness to have a prereq of toughness instead of the normal prereqs. I've also slightly upgraded toughness: it not only increases your maximum hitpoints by 3, it also adds 3negative HP before you die. a character with the toughness feat doesn't die until...

balance is very important for my games. this may have something to do with the fact that I was a balance archwizard on 2 MUDs though. balancing various classes and roles in an RPG like environment turns out to be pretty difficult. still, I prefer a flawed balance over no balance.

I count each attack roll that hits and qualifies for a coup de grace to be a critical hit. as for the bloodied value: I also count that per attack roll, not per attack power. note that a creature may wake up after an attack roll (the rogue powers that cause unconsciousness last until the...

you worry about body hair? have you seen the female dragonborn in the PHB? now there's a weird thing (2 really)... for a creature that's not even a mammal...

there's also the 10th level rogue utility power "close quarters". that one allows the rogue to "ride" the enemy, and stay in his space.
