I found the original totem barbarian proposal thread. As you see, it wasn't exactly clear on what rules we were establishing for retconning. Some voters referred specifically to changing "before the next level-up" (a boat which Rasereit has already missed) while others more generally just spoke...

Does the lack of options available at the time the character was created constitute an extreme circumstance?

"That's a more drastic change" is the key. Well, and that the PC also would have died. The flip side is that we have allowed characters to retroactively convert something similar -- I forget if it was Skill Focus (Spellcraft) or Skill Focus (Knowledge(arcana)) or Magical Aptitude -- into the...

You're agreeing with me? When I haven't even taken sides yet? Since it doesn't seem that Razh has used the abilities to be swapped in any significant way, I'm leaning toward voting to allow it, actually.

Hmm... that means giving up Uncanny Dodge, Improved Uncanny Dodge, and Trap Sense. How many times up to now has he used those?

If you think the two are mutually exclusive, your imagination is not adequate to the task of GMing.

See, I always thought the word for a fighter/magic-user was "elf". Can you tell which edition I got my D&D start with? "Gish", on the other hand, to me means this man, or perhaps his wife. I know them moderately well -- became friends when I was living near them a few years ago -- and I'd be...

So, what about the spellcaster? A 1-charge wand is still cheaper, and easier to use, than a scroll of the same spell. That is assuming you stick to the standard per-charge pricing. Otherwise, you have two options to avoid making scrolls pointless: (1) change the pricing of wands (essentially...

At any rate, there's nothing in the text of the LEW house rules file making it compulsory, so it would seem your and my understanding is correct.

Hold on. Is this something that slipped by when I wasn't paying attention? An academy graduate *must* take the Academy Graduate feat? I had understood that it was an option. So I can't create a character with a Chromatic Order backstory unless I give him that feat at 1st level?

Nurlan accepts the package. "The actions of a man of great honour, no doubt, to take such effort to repay a debt. And I should be most pleased to do an errand for a priest of Sela. You know, but for one of Sela's miracles I would not be alive today."

Since that is in opposition to the RAW, it should be a proposal.

Perhaps I misunderstood your reference to options. I understood that the issue was choice, customizability, not raw advantages. The rogue is customizable through diverse skill choices, whereas the fighter is customizable through feat choices. BAB and HP are not options.

The rogue does have lots of options. They're called skill points. More of them than any other class -- 6 per level more than the majority, including the most common and most versatile classes. That's quite a bit of customizability.

It seems to be one of the most widely forgotten facts about OotS that Belkar is not a rogue.

You need three more ayes than nays. So, if there is no dissent, then 3 judge approvals will be enough.

Since Nurlan is going with the group that finds naturally-growing horses a burden, Lordy is available for borrowing by anyone who promises to take good care of him and to meet up in Medibaria. Any takers?

While I have read the Thug section out of curiosity, I don't recall having ever pored over the details as I would need to do if I had ever screened a character submission. So, I'm pretty sure I haven't gotten such a character approval request. If I had, I probably would have first noted that the...

Oh -- I misread it at first. Favours martial training over stealth -- the exact opposite of what I had been thinking. I'm not so keen on it now.
