First disclaimer: IANAL Second disclaimer: I am Australian, so my experiences and advice may not translate perfectly over to the US. In my experience, even before going to a lawyer, contact a consumer advocacy or consumer advice body. In Australia, we have a federal body (the ACCC) which...

Of course, if emulating their deity is important to them for stylistic reasons, but they are not particularly focussed on martial exploits (i.e. no War domain) then they can always use their deity's favoured weapon and suck up the non-proficiency penalty. For a not very strong cleric who...

Gnomes. As things stand, they have a more restrictive favoured class than anyone else (Illusionist as opposed to Wizard), a weird grab-bag of bonuses (+2 to Alchemy, Listen, Illusion saves, Constitution, ) which don't really synergise well IMHO. Compare to halflings, whose +1 size modifier...

I think it is a pity that the designers of the class didn't think about opponents with 10 ft reach being able to beat the Dwarven Defender silly while not being able to be hit in return in preventing any movement by the DD in defensive stance. One 5ft step per round would have made the ability...

What are you saying about us? Huh? We look different to regular people? (The really fun thing about the combination is describing the sucking chest wounds and comminuted fractures as the party tips into negative hp .... muwahahahahahaha)

Above in the thread I suggested that there be (*gasp*) no way to bypass DR - i.e. that it worked identically to item hardness. So there would be no DR 5/+1 or DR 15/peanut butter but just DR 2/- or 3/- (for weaker opponents) up to maybe 10/- for the pit fiend. Then you could add in...

I thought that might be a bit much, as all spellcasting classes (except sorcerors) give up *something* non-spell-related (undead turning, wildshape, bonus metamagic feats...) No. Although as the player of a bard in at least one game I'm looking forward to seeing what changes 3.5e makes (6+INT...

Given that a Bard caster level is (at least arguably) weaker than a "full-caster-class" (Clr/Drd/Wiz/Sor) caster level, with higher skills, Bardic music and Bardic knowledge to 'compensate', what do people think of the following House Rule: When taking a level in a Prestige Class that offers +1...

Looking at the minotaur sample class, why didn't they just give it cleric BAB progression, rather than +1/+2/+2/+3/+3/+4/+5/+6 ?

Actually, it contains phenylalanine, one of the twenty essential amino acids. Phenylketonurics ("those who have phenlketones in their urine") are unable to process phenylalanine due to a deficiency in phenyalalanine hydroxylase, an enzyme which catalyses the conversion of phenylalanine to...

Hypersmurf - YYRTFTH !! (I'll leave you guys to work that out :D )

I was sure that an item (the vest of resistance) that gave save bonuses like a cloak of resistance but took up the vest slot instead of the cloak slot existed. I thouht it was in Masters of the Wild, but looked through there without finding it. Am I crazy? Did I just make this item up?

Bards should be allowed to cast in light armour without ASF. OK, so that's not what you were looking for exactly, but Bards are a class that is not a 'full' spellcaster in the way that Clr/Drd/Wiz/Sor are; yet not as weak in spellcsating as the 1/2 level classes (Pal/Rgr). They have medium BAB...

To echo the last poster: Something along those lines would make quite a lot of sense :D

Maybe I'm alone here, but I would have preferred to see just DR X/-. Maybe 2/- or 3/- for lesser evils, 5/- or so for midrange, up to 10/- or so for the pit fiend. You could introduce vulnerabilities - silver weapons deal +1d6 damage to lycanthropes; cold iron deals +1d6 to fey (or cold iron...

On a play-by-post 'arena' I've been trying out a grappler (Monk/Drunken Master.) At 13th level I have +29 grapple - and when you're grappling you almost completely shut down unprepared spellcasters (i.e. those without stilled spells) and all melee opponents (just need to pin them, which is...

I Dm some Living Greyhawk, and I've found in regional modules Knowledge(Local)[city] is often a very valuable skill. Even a rank or two gives access to knowing where things are, who to go to, as well as local history, all at easy DCs (10 or so).

From what I have seen of the Quintessential series, while they have some good ideas, they are very much 'power up' books written by people who have a better sense of cool than balance.

Now while this thread has been inactive for a while, I was thinking about some of the initiative rules and had the following thought: delay until after opponent's initiative haste partial charge full round action - refocus (almost certainly moving you ahead of the opponent on initiative, unless...

Where did you get this information? I have read the LG FAQ and there is no mention of it - I have also asked the question on both the LG and Infinite Monkeys lists with no mention by the rules mavens on either forum that LG had decided on #1...?
