And is there a reason why Incantations wouldn't be (A) open to any class and (B) possibly cooperative? Really, all this does is change "Damn, the kobolds are still coming! Fighter, hold them off for 100 rounds while the wizard and cleric work on the knock scroll and I work on picking the...

As some have already suggested, adding a new kind of creature is easier than modifying minions, and more modular at that. I tried to make creating my version--Mooks--as simple as possible, so there are only a few changes to make to the minion(s) in question: Minions All minions are worth 1/4...

I've been thinking about this as well, and here's what I have so far. Multiclassing still exists...sort of. A suggestion for a "ghost multiclass," off the top of my head (note: "ghost powers" are any powers with the Ghost keyword, and are associated with ghost classes explained farther down)...

So it looks like the human, minotaur, and lizardfolk are fairly standard, fluff-wise; I'm not sure what the stonefolk would be like. Assuming you're keeping the human as-is, that leaves the minotaur and lizardfolk for the moment. I maintain the Races Compendium on the Wizards forums, and if...

The first campaign was fairly rules-heavy, RP-light, to determine balance, so the DM basically kept throwing monsters at us until we died, then adjusted challenge levels and repeated the process. The second one featured a group of ghost slayers and necromancers that were killing all the good...

My point was that it's not a matter of "only the rogue or wizard can do it." If there's no rogue in the group, and no character with Thievery, and no caster with knock, the party can just bash the door down. It's not a question of overshadowing the rogue anymore, since everyone can take...

Does this tool also support waltzes? ;) More seriously, it's very nice. I don't want to explore too much, since I'm making one of my own and I don't want to be unduly influenced by your idea, but it looks great so far.

Not only can any character learn and cast a ritual with a good enough skill modifier, chances are you can just bash the door down faster than it takes to cast knock, and it's definitely cheaper. In terms of a new name, I'd suggest Incantation. It's basically a 3e version of rituals, so you...

So an eladrin spellsword would be a fey Wray?

Well, let's see... 1) We did three campaigns in Ghostwalk: one "shakedown" campaign, a medium-length (28-30 sessions) dungeon crawl-ish campaign to try out the rules; one medium-length "backwards" campaign where we started as ghosts and quested to become living beings again, which was...

PEACH stands for Please Examine And Critique Honestly--shorthand on several forums for "This isn't in a complete form, I need some help developing it." As for the effect type, I'm guessing stuff that could be rituals but cost way too much time/money for the effect. For instance: knock is a...

Suggestions: --Come up with a list of "elemental creatures" (like grues, mephits, etc.) that Elemental Lords and Stormlords can wild shape into; there are many animals and many plant creatures, so restricting those two to 3-4 "real elemental" choices makes them a less appealing choice...

Man, I haven't played Ghostwalk in forever. Never got a chance to run it as a DM (actually, the only published setting my group used that I didn't run) but I really liked it. I'm at work right now, so I can't really work up anything today, but I'll take a look at this tomorrow and see if I can...

I didn't say this particular solution was a good way of doing it; in fact, I agree that it's too powerful. I was specifically addressing the point that there is no need for a fix "because it's not weak," and pointing out that upping the power level isn't what's required, just making it do what...

--Utility, obviously; it's Bacon of Hope, not Bacon of Burning Thine Enemies. --Encounter. Don't tell me you've never had bacon for a meal other than breakfast. --Details...hmm. I'll think about it and get back to you.

They're multiclass-only classes in the FR Player's Guide. That's basically all we know so far. By the way, I'm the one Nivenus mentioned doing a race-specific version of this; real-life events have come up kind of suddenly and prevented me from working on them much, but you can take a look at...

The issue isn't that it's weak, it's that it doesn't do what it's supposed to. --You're supposed to be able to take Paths for your multiclass, but since you don't get any class features, many Paths are closed to you. --Paragon multiclassing sucks; you're three Path abilities behind at the end...

I'd say split up the ability bonus. Remember, you want to have a theme for each template, so let's say you want "adventurous humans" and "diplomatic humans," the first to represent the "humans can adapt to anything" trope and the latter to represent "humans are everyone's best friend." The...

Allow me to suggest Linux. It's free, whether by download or CD; the Ubuntu distribution is as easy or easier to use than Windows for people who haven't used Linux before; and its WINE emulator means it can run almost any Windows-compatible programs.

That is why, when I am about to submit a reply, I select everything and copy it. :D It works wonders on the Wizards boards too, where every other post dies a sad, lonely death due to a database error. -------------------- Anyway, on topic: 1) A good trick for any city is including a new and...
