Wouldn't a "Summon Caltrops" spell be more appropriate? Well, I guess both are reasonable.

Ah, thanks I found it. But that says that the wizard's two free spells at each level is included in the "+1 spellcasting level" benefit. I am suggesting that maybe it should be a separate benefit of the wizard class itself, not of wizardly spellcasting? Edit: I do not propose any such change...

Imo, the question is whether the replicated spell needs to be specifically described in the PHB at all? Ie. why should it not be possible to summon a common item like a non-magical weapon or a ladder with Shadow Conjuration? As I see it, there is no reason why it needs to be: 1- why could it...

Well it may be... now you make me doubt my memory. But if they are separate, then I think the wizard have a reasonable amount of automatic losses when taking a PrC. Anyway, those suggestions for clerics/sorcs/wizards were only meant as ideas, things I came up with as I was typing. :) Edit: The...

Another way of resolving this "PrCs are too good issue" would be to look at the base classes and make it more attractive to stick with them. For example, clerics/sorcerers/wizards could be modified like this: Clerics: Give domains more slowly, maybe one at 1st, 5th, 10th, 15th, and 20th (or...

Yes. Page 79 in T&B uses Enervation is used as an example of the rule. Edit: That's what happens when you type slow :(

Korimyr, thanks for your post. I will try to make a version that meets your comments, because I have thought about similar things. There are a couple of things I think are important to the template: 1. A (reasonably optimized) Savage Fighter should be very similar to a Barbarian. This is to make...

A while ago, I posted a Savage template to replace the Barbarian class and allow other classes to be uncivilized as well. I have revised it somewhat and will appreciate any comments: Savage Template [this replaces the Barbarian class] Main Idea: Any class can be savage, not only fighters...

The obvious/simple way to do that (but probably not what you're looking for) is... a table converting d20 rolls to results with other dice: 20 12 10 08 06 04 01 01 01 01 01 01 02 01 01 01 01 01 03 02 02 02 01 01 04 03 02 02 02 01 05 03 03 02 02 01 06 04 03 03 02 02 07 04 04 03 02 02 08 05 04...

... I haven't heard of the spells you mention. Are they official/where are they from?

Trying so sum over 20 levels and compare with ranger: Lost: 1st-4th level spells, HD reduced to d8, no virtual TWF feats, fewer weapons, armor. Gained: An extra Good save, 6 bonus feats (access to Banked-Shot and Close Combat Shot which sound like OotBI special abilities? I forget what Power...

This sounds fairly good. Remember to penalize the 'group AC' for not being very mobile; I think the penalty for Dex 0 (stationary) is -5. Also, there should probably be some sort of miss chance depending on how tightly packed the group is; tight formation or spread out. Thinking out loud...

Oops, double post :D

Re: Re: Duelist PrC Questions Actually, the requirement is only that he must be wielding a [b]one-handed piercing weapon[b], meaning that picks, spears, shortswords and daggers are allowed too. (I have heard it argued that a Monkey Gripped Spiked Chain is ok as well, but imo that does not...

Some time ago there was a similar thread about PA. "Someone" posted a neat formula/rule for determining hor much to PA for. Sadly, I have lost the link so I can't give it here. But the basic idea is (as SpikeyFreak says) to make expected damage and hit-chance (counted in sides on the d20 that...

"Striking for damage with punches, kicks, and head butts is like attacking with a weapon, except for the following:..." So attacking unarmed is the same as attacking armed except for provoking an AoO from an armed defender. To me, this (and the rest of the quote) strongly implies that you *do*...

Ideas... 1. If you want to be an archer-bard (a sound choice imo), you may as well take Point Blank Shot and Precise Shot from the beginning. Then at 6th level, you can decide if you really need Lingering Song or something else would be better. 2. Later feat choices: Rapid Shot (if you find...

Intention: The idea is to make a "lightly armored fighter"-class. This can be anything between a duelist/musketeer and an oriental monk/ninja. Swashbuckler (fighter variant) - This class is as the PH fighter except for the following changes: - HD reduced to d8. - Fortitude saves reduced to...

I really don't see how this race is over-powered. More like the opposite, actually. How about giving Charisma +2 or dropping the Wisdom -2? I think it would be more balanced that way. (Ok, movement is good for some character types, but so is HPs for others :)) Also, how would it work with Bard...

This is a really simple question: Can I use Shadow Evocation to "cast" a shadow "Fireball" with a radius of only 10 feet (if yes, I have a lot more questions...)
