You are right about the doppleganger's skill set. I would argue, however, that the assasin as presented in the DMG is self-limiting itself to humanoids in general in terms of its prerequisites. First, anyone could be trained as an assasin, the game and its rules limit this to characters who have...

I would agree, alter the rogue's skill list. I am also leaning towards lowering the sp to 4, after-all it works fine for the barbarian. One of the biggest things that is jumping out is the rogue who multis keeps their broad range of skills, high skill points, but an even higher BAB. For...

I'm mixed. Like others I like some aspects, but am really uncertain about letting this into the game. Personally it seems like a sound basis for 4.0. Assuming things are recognizable (feat and skill system coupled with leveling) giving each and every race anywhere from 3-10 levels of "itself"...

Xarls: Well I was toying around, but I think a combination of ideas could work. Add all the opposite benefits of haste, greater and restrict all movement to 5 ft. per move action (regardless of the form of movement). Additionally you can only take a standard action. I wouldn't make it permanent...

Sollir: It was kinda late last night. While I didn't mention the +2 Dex/-2 Con in my drow/doppleganger post, I did factor it in my next post. I wouldn't say the half-fiend or the drow have better skills. The half-fiend has more skill points, but the same level as the doppleganger. The drow...

Not counter, just express which spells can be made "lasting". The list follows including spells that are either instantaneous or permanent duration. Dispel Magic et al still can't get rid of the spell, you have to hunt down the necromancer and deal with him or knock him out or kill him. Technik

So am I illogical? You haven't referred to my post once. What is your argument? That an LA +2 Drow (no racial levels) vs an LA +4 (4 racial levels) is unbalanced towards the drow? Compare the following (Keep in mind I suggested that in a combat-heavy campaign the LA for doppleganger be reduced...

Monk is easily the hardest class to choose when to stop taking levels. I mean it seems like any level you stop at, there are more benefits to have by staying in "just 1 more level", which never stops, all the way to 20. So, I'll stick with your original intention, straight monk. As gfunk said...

Sigh From the 3.5 MM Drow Traits (Ex): Humanoid (Elf) +2 Int, +2 Cha Base Speed 30 ft Darkvision 120 feet SR 11+class levels Immunity to Sleep Spells and +2 bonus against enchantments +2 bonus on Will saves against spells +2 Listen, +2 Search, +2 Spot Auto-Detect Secret Doors if within 5 ft...

Ok, see above please. Heck, Genasi get a type change (to Outsider) and usually have equal stat adjustments to LA +0 races, along with minor spell-likes at they are LA +1. So trust me: +2 Dex, +2 Con, +2 Int, +2 Wis, +2 Cha and +4 Hide, +4 Listen, +4 Move Silently, +4 Perform, +4 Spot LA +1...

LA +3. Those stat adjustments are NICE, and if you compare to the dark elf at +2, way better (without a single negative, even!). You guys are cutting Cold Iron/5 way short. Remember, there is no "catch all" material and for a PC this power alone is LA +1 or +2. Against I'd say easily 50% of...

Tut-tut reapersaurus. Not a valid comparison if you don't add bonus spells. Also, you are comparing a prc combo with a non-prc combo. Check this: Clr3/Wiz3/MyT6 Stats: Str 13 Dex 12 Con 10 Int 20 Wis 20 Cha 8 [2 bonuses on Wis, 1 on Int, assume +4 items on both Int and Wis] Feats (5): Scribe...

Haste, Greater Transmutation Level: Brd 6, Sor/Wiz 8 [Bard and Sor get it at 16th, Wiz at 15th] Target: 1 creature This spell functions like Haste except that it gives a +2 bonus on attack rolls and a +2 dodge bonus to AC and Reflex saves. Additionally when using the standard attack action a...

This seems like the biggest fight the party has had in a while! I was wondering when that half-half dragon would poke his head in :) I'm not sure I got the imagery right, was the dragon pulling a big thing through the air (which held kobolds) like a flying aircraft carrier cart? Anyway, thats...

Norfleet- I think you are seriously underating some of those abilities. As far as Slippery Mind - its far better than the feat equivelant. You need 11+ to pass (50% chance failure) -With Slippery Mind (25% chance failure) -With Iron Will (40% chance failure) You need 16+ to pass (75% chance...

I think if you just add a line "This class is considered to be the 'Fighter' class for all intents and purposes" you'll be safe. The only classes they could multi to for heavy armor would be paladin and cleric, and for martial weapons barbarian, paladin, or ranger. All of those have costs and...

Ah, I was looking at the wrong column! I guess that is pretty weird. I'm not sure how much sense it makes that an 8 Con Wizard and a 20 Con Warrior get the same bonus from a feat, while a 12 Con Rogue gets substantially less. Weird. At any rate, my latest "Alt.Toughness" is kinda fun. It is as...

I've got to say, I love the word "deign". I find a lot of uses for it in conversation, but rarely do people seem to understand :( Technik oh, and I like your stuff Jack :)

Maybe I'm missing something, but it seems Sturdy is as always better than Toughness, and sometimes significantly so. I think I personally like the variant suggest above, where it stacks with your Fort Save. Another option would be to model it after "Mind Over Body" from FRCS, allow double CON...

Horray! I guess this means I've gotten to know some people, although a lot of my posts come from the house rule forums. Anyway, just thought I'd give a shout and say "Wow". I've actually been lurking on the boards since pre-3e and remember a lot of silly debates (well, I remember if someone jogs...
