    Obsydia's Races Overview + Dweller, Fey, Fianna Updated (7/13/2006)

    Well I initially started them with an islamic feel. But I didn't set them in a desert, instead they live on a jungle covered island, in jade cities... Figures of power... I'll let you know. Drexes

    The Everwatch Knight

    This is very similar to the Unseen Sister posted in another thead. Yours also, is too powerful. d12's, all good saves, and massive bonuses to stats and ac.. sign me up. You should get with the guy who posted the Unseen Sister and work together with him since your concepts are somewhat similar...

    Obsydia's Races Overview + Dweller, Fey, Fianna Updated (7/13/2006)

    I will work on a short racial history synopsis in the next few hours, It's all up there I just need to put it to print. I'll try and give a paragraph or o for each race as I present it so the next post will have at least these first few races. I am also working on some much needed revisions of...

    Obsydia's Races Overview + Dweller, Fey, Fianna Updated (7/13/2006)

    Oops I didn't answer the paragon part of the question... I guess you mean what class combo or something...The dweller artificer, the fey wizard/shiekh, and the fianna scout. A buddy of mine played a dweller artificer until recently and it was really fun. Now he is DMing in the world and I am...

    Obsydia's Races Overview + Dweller, Fey, Fianna Updated (7/13/2006)

    I must confess before I start to not fully understanding the question. How does a race evolve? But here's my answer: What I wrote is a snapshot. It's the beginning of the tale or the starting line. I don't want to write thier story, the story being written is one of the reasons I dislike many...

    The Unseen Sisters

    Ok, read this yesterday and tried to let it sit in the ol' noggin and ferment, cuz when I'm drunk I'm happy. Unfortunatley this idea had the yeast but lacked the sugar...hrrm. What I mean is this, the fundamental idea is good, but the execution is not grabbing me. The abilities are too powerful...

    When a warrior stands at the wrong end of a crossbow...

    I like this except for the piercing only part after all I could sneak up behind you and put my scimitar to your throat in order to slash or slit your throat.... but I really like the mechanic. Good Job PS. Drexes

    Trapfinding as a Feat

    I like the feat angle. Personally I agree with the example above, but I also want to maintain the role of the rogue in the dungeon environment. If you don't like the feat set up, Why not give the rogue a +4 competence bonus to search rolls against traps and the elf-like version of the ability...

    [Insert catchy captivating title about new feats]

    Here's what I think... Mage Slayer: Seems really powerful, I'd at least remove the +1 to will saves. It's still a powerful feat withou it. Tower Shield Expert: I really like it, someone might actually use a tower shield with this available... Tower Shield Mastery: Also cool, though you might...

    When a warrior stands at the wrong end of a crossbow...

    Well, I'm going to have to disagree. In the campaigns I've played and run in 3.x, sneakiness has been really prevalent. Our current campaign is made up of entirely sneaky characters, with no brick in the bunch. And despite having no good equipment (only one +1 weapon in the party and it's...

    The Exile

    Do they call themselves Exiles? Exiled from what precisely? Not to nitpick or anything...hehe. Also as a note 5'0" to 5'6" and 100 to 150 pounds is not exactly thin. Mind you 5' and 100 pounds isn't chubby or anything its even smallish but 5'6" and 150 pounds has some weight to it. I'd give an...

    Obsydia's Races Overview + Dweller, Fey, Fianna Updated (7/13/2006)

    Thank you, for the feedback and the kind words. When I set out to build this world (2 years ago) I wanted something more 'Real" not realistic mind you. I just didn't like that all these unique races had primarily the culture with different spins. I wanted more definitive cultural lines, so that...

    Dwarves: My flavor and twist on the angry miners.

    I like the fluff, I just don't care too much for the abilities. Why? Because they don't have any basis in the fluff. Why are they stronger than other dwarves? Why are they resistant to elemental attacks? Because they were created earlier? I guess I just don't follow that reasoning. I also think...

    Mortar Masters...?

    Well I don't know about conceptually but a quick and dirty fit would be the artificer from Eberron.. I would start there. After all, a mortar could easily use modified wand or rod rules. The artificer already has the craft stuff going for it, and the need to carry 'reagents'. As always why...

    Massive Damage Varient

    I can honestly say, I see no problem with it, but alas I have seen I think only one MDC since 3.0 came out and none since 3.5...I think that's mainly due to our groups style of play though. It would make so when the levels are high enough that the damage won't kill you anyway the save may not...

    Shadowblade (a rogue/sorceror base class)

    Ok here's what I'm thinking: Give them trapfinding at level 2. Good Will saves in addition to good reflex. A scaling miss chance that goes up with level as they constantly embrace the shadow plane, the become more divided among the planes, say +5% every even level. That could be unique, still...

    Tweaking Skills - Thoughts?

    I hate to say this, it being a pet peeve and all, but "realistically" (argh!) if the characters all look like jumbles to me then no amount of decipher script would help me at all. I think for there to be a basis of decipher script then the only recourse is some discernable similarity to a...

    Tweaking Skills - Thoughts?

    Actually I disagree with Irdeggman, I think th eranks version is pretty well thought out. After all many languages that I can't read use similar alphabets, sometimes I can sound out a spanish word and sense I know a bit of french I can figure out what is even if I can't read it. The...

    Where thats gonna hurt is the power attackerwith a greataxe or some such...Flatfooted huh? I think I'll max out that power attack and every thing else I can to just a bit more damage...could get really ugly especially when the power attacking, raging, burst wielding cheeseout comes over to play...
