    Your favorite alternate D&D magic system?

    Arcana Unearthed/Arcana Evolved. I love the flexibility it offers, as well as the laden spells, variable spells (most spells have a higher and lower version that you can cast if you've 'readied' the regular version), and the templates. Can't believe it wasn't an option, tbh.

    Touch of Healing [Reserve] feat from Complete Champion Excerpt

    That's the whole point really. It wouldn't matter if every feat in the Complete Champion was weaker than the average feat in the PHB (which is high doubtful) - the fact is there is this one feat that will definitely change how many groups play and if you come back to the game in 2 years...

    Touch of Healing [Reserve] feat from Complete Champion Excerpt

    I refuse to believe that a 5d6 fireball (with a 5' radius and 30 ft range) is useless at 10th level. Now, it certainly isn't great - I'm not arguing that the wizard will single-handedly take down whole encounters through use of the feat, but considering that it is really good when you acquire it...

    Soulknife as a PrC (1.0)

    That was one of my original intentions, but the relative ease of boosting your power points (via multiclassing or feats or race selection) make it a daunting task.

    Touch of Healing [Reserve] feat from Complete Champion Excerpt

    "Unless he has a higher fire spell (which is not a certainty" Huh? The mage that took the Reserve Feat which grants him unlimited fireballs and you think somehow he'll forget to prepare that? I mean, maybe if they are battling inside a volcano or on the Elemental Plane of Fire, but short of...

    Soulknife as a PrC (1.0)

    I think a character using a heavy crossbow and trying to use the Psionic Feat chain needs all the help they can get - in this case, it seems as if you're arguing for full BAB. Yet, many characters have the same option. Explain how a rogue dipping into fighter (or psywar) isn't very much to his...

    Soulknife as a PrC (1.0)

    Well, the reason is that this class was originally a PrC and later changed to a base class. My current DM doesn't like it as a base class, but thinks a 15-level PrC is a great idea. And when I came up with the Mind Blade progression, I felt I had found something really good. No, you are...

    Soulknife as a PrC (1.0)

    2.0 OK, here are my new ideas for Soulknife revision. There are 3 options which should all play the same, and can even work in the same campaign, but no character can take levels in different soulknife classes. Base Class Soulknife, Revised The differences from the core versions are as...

    Catfolk: +1 LA just doesn't seem right..

    I'd be in favor of giving him more goodies to improve, rather than suddenly dissolving the LA. At lower level +6 bonus stat points is huge, and the rest of the race is pretty solid (if a little bland). Maybe instead of removing the Cat's natural armor, change it to a Dodge bonus and let it...

    Touch of Healing [Reserve] feat from Complete Champion Excerpt

    Sounds balanced in combat, unbalanced (and goodbye fantasy belief suspension) out of combat. It's probably just a patch for what will eventually be: Lay on Hands at will for low points of healing from a cleric

    Two Aquatic Race Variants (now with Feats)

    +5 Natural Armor bonus for a +0 LA race is pretty silly. Any litmus test will show you that your lizardfolk are significantly stonger than a comprable half-orc (which they are supposedly replacing). Half-Orc get more negatives and don't have natural armor, natural attacks, or +4 bonuses to...

    Soulknife as a PrC (1.0)

    The blade manifester is a PrC designed for soulknives. It gives them up to 4th level powers at the cost of 3 levels of soulknife advancement. It is an interesting PrC, but not what I'm looking for (interestingly, it alludes to Soulknife having a full BAB progression, which it does not have in...

    Stat yourself... Off topic?? dunno.

    Human Male Str 11 (Stronger than the average bear, but don't work out) Dex 12 (Fast typer, good at videogames, used to play ultimate frisbee regularly) Con 13 (Rarely get sick, hate taking medicine, never broken a bone, stoic) Int 14 (Smarter than most people I've met, yet not really smart...

    Soulknife as a PrC (1.0)

    If you're addressing me... Yeah, I'm aware. The original PrC is made with rogues in mind, and gives full sneak attack progression. Personally, I'd rather leave that to the rogues (though it would combo nicely with my particular character, being a psion specializing in psychoportations).

    Soulknife as a PrC (1.0)

    I'm playing a psionic character in an upcoming eberron campaign and the DM doesn't think the soulknife is a good class to multiclass with psion. Personally I always liked the Soulknife as a PrC rather than a base class, so I've decided to try and cook something up. I did check out Nifft's...

    Am I gonna make it past 20th level?

    Nomad is my concept - I really want the teleportation abilities, flying, and I think some of the little abilities (like Dimension Swap) look like fun. My DM has urged me to multi psion with: fighter, rogue or psywar but the fact is Soulknife gives me a cool ability, good skills, and the same bab...

    Am I gonna make it past 20th level?

    Hey, just thought I'd try and get some input on my latest PC. My concept is a Soulknife/Nomad (Psionic character through and through). Ideally I would like to fulfill that elusive fighter/magic-user role, though my magic will be focused on telelportation-like powers. Campaign starts at level 2...

    Chime in on this Base Class (Elven Sidestepper)

    This is a new base class my friend created for his campaign. The class is being used by the DM of the campaign to create interesting adversaries, but he hopes to make it theoretically balanced for PC's. Any of the idiosyncracies you can assume he's aware of (like, a base class with a racial...

    What is it with Sage Advice & Tome of Battle?

    I gave you 2 examples and you didn't like either. That wasn't exactly encouraging me to find some more for you to outright dismiss. If you've ever been in a combat that lasts more than 10 rounds, you may have found yourself in a battle the warlock could spam attacks (think lower levels)...
