Just wondering if I can get a final guess at the CR modification for this thing, as I'm planning on using it... very soon. The final version boils down to: * +4 Dexterity * +4 Move Silently, and Hide * Spell Resistance 15 + HD (The Shadowkin cannot willingly lower his spell resistance, and...

Replies Hmm, looking at it, I think I'm going to just say that they can't cast spells or use spell-like abilities (supernatural would be okay then). I think that that would be the best way to look at it. I know though, that this makes the template very different for different creatures (ie...

Okay, I'm just looking for any thoughts on the CR modifications for this template, and any input possible for how I should work it. Don't let the name fool you: these creatures are not from the plane of shadow, but instead draw their name from the terrible catastrophe that forever marred them...

Okay, well, honestly, when I say "as a base" I mean "using some ideas, and fixing some terriblly miswritten rules" like the maintenance ones (we caught it on the steam armor though... I'm weary of the constructs, and would rather just come up with all-new ones than try to strip existing...

For our campaign we're adopting technology almost to the point of steam-punk, basing it on Monte's Cook's free pdf available in his "The Stuff" archive. [find it here: Lawful Technology ] Anyways, using this as a base, and pretty much going off where imagination sees fit after that, we've...

It's come up a few times in our group. We just allow the larger character to make a strength check, and then use that as if it were a jump check (so the Str check result is checked to the Longjump chart for jump to see how for they threw the character). Seems to work for us. *shrug*

(off-topic)Oh, no, don't take it the wrong way about the tech thing. This won't be real-world tech (though half of my players are engineers and/or physics majors, so they do have a tendency to call "real-world" on some things), but more of an "Arcanum" approach to it, using Monte Cook's info as...

I'm working on integrating technology into our current campaign world (to a degree... ) using Monte Cooks's web enhancement for Chaositech (which I may consider buying, though the pdf for "real" technology is free no matter what). A large nation of gnomes to the north have been working on...

Lol! Good ideas here, and I'll use a bunch of them eveentually (one stupid player doesn't understand that being evil usually means doing things taht piss people off), but for right now, it's a small-ish trading town, and I'm gonna use the one-cell-jail, and just tie the wizard's hands to his...

Okay, just a quick question for my gaming session tomorrow. It -may- come up that a player ends up jailed in a small town (well, a medium-sized town by the book), and that this player is going to be one of two: either the half-orc barbarian (who I'm not really considering anymore, 'cause he'll...

Thanks for the input (and the props). Yeah, it was based on the clay golem (I figure, clay's gooey, ectoplasm is gooey... should be similar). I actually had planned for fast healing... but wasn't sure if it would be balanced or no. I do think that I need to include similar spell effects...

Anywho, here's a new construct for psionic crafters ('cuase having just one available for the feat seems to be a joke to me). Things that I'm really looking for comments on would be a guess at CR and any other special power effects besides "Dismiss Ectoplasm". Thanks.

Why not just make it "Once per round, you may attempt to regain Psionic Focus as a free action." Heck, if that seems too powerful (and really, as a second [or is it third?] tier feat, it isn't that bad), just slap a penalty to the concentration check. Say like "You take a -5" or "-10 penalty...

I actually like this one more than the first one. We're gonna start a game at 1st level with a bunch of psionics use, and until then, I'm thinking that the Psionic Focus expenditures are almost always a good balancing / flavor thing (and frankly, I don't understand the "But you always need to...

Okay, no one has any comments, so I take it I priced them exactly as everyone else would? Good. I knew I was perfect.

Okay, I know it exists, but I can't find the rules for full-defense (granted, last time we played it was really late, so I could have missed it every time, but damn... I looked forever). Can anybody point me to where it's at in the SRD or in the Player's Handbook (3.0 or 3.5, doesn't matter)...

Okay, these two were inspired yesterday by watching a lot (and I mean a friggin' ton) of Invader Zim. We all decided that his backpack was far too cool to not exist in DnD in some form. The gauntlet was just sort of an added bonus. Ectoplasmic Harness: This large crystaline orb is attached...

Honestly, I'm thinking about making it a standard action (and thus usable only once per turn and not as a part of a full-attack) simply as a means of making awesome-tastic power attacks. Think that would make it better?

Yeah, Clobber should have a restriction of 3/day. I hadn't finished writing the ability up before posting, and I guess I missed adding that part in. I think allowing it on any attack should be okay. Using the 3.5 weapon size vs. damage tables, a 2d6 weapon increases to 3d6. *shrugs* struck...

Any suggestions would be well appreciated. I plan on introducing the PCs to one of these as soon as they finish their current adventure, and if so, this will be the first PrC that I've written that will actually see use in a game. *sniffle* kinda brings a tear to my eyes... Anyway, general...
