An excellent discussion. I will add to it, I hope, rather than repeat the many excellent points made so far. The paladin acted neither lawlessly nor evilly, and thus retains his powers. I think that people are right to distinguish Medieval Law from Modern Law. Yet the distinction does not...

I'll be moving to New York this August. Manhattan more precisely. I'm looking for a good group to join. If need be, I can gamemaster / start one, but I'd love to play for once. Preferred system would be 3.5. Let me know if you have a good group going that could make room for an experienced...

Well, I have a unique system; perhaps others use it too. I spec out an adventure that happens whenever the entire party is killed, no matter when it occurs during the campaign. (My campaigns are quite lethal since one of my requirements is a strict adherence to the rules, and a second...

Mm. Could a spell-storing weapon cast a targeted spell on the user when it strikes a target? (don't have my DMG at work, so can't check the language). For example, could a Paladin cast Divine Sacrifice through a spell storing weapon? Carpe

Right, deathless frenzy would be the goal here. I'm thinking more and more that extra rage is the way to go rather than extend rage for a PC. (for NPCs though, lord, the class is nasty. My PCs lost their marbles when I threw Ettin Frenzied Berzerkers at them...could not be killed for the...

Here's a challenge: Is it possible to build a 3.5 frenzied berzerker that's not just an outrageous risk to the party? I understand that a party's going to have to build in some safeguards (party cleric has calm emotions memorized and all that). But is there anything the Berzerker can do to...

I'll be moving to Manhattan August 1. I'm looking for a regular 3.5 D&D game in which I can *play* for once. Anyone who's interested, drop me a line at jatfairfield-at-yahoo-com. Carpe

Thanks for the suggestions. As for the design comments folks posted, I agree the feats from the Torm PrC are a touch overpowering. However, as to the idea that a PrC should not be a distinct advantage over a base class -- I think the design ought to be consistent between spellcaster and...

I'm still interested in Paladin PrCs. I got so frustrated with the 3.0 lack of anything worth a rip that I had to write a bunch for my own campaign. Has anyone found a PrC that doesn't simply eviscerate a paladin's powers without giving anything useful in return? I'll blush to admit it -- but...

This effect has consistently beggared anyone who wanted to do something interesting with a shield. I'll make one addition, though. Under the shield descriptor, the rules state you can make an attack with a shield as an offhand attack. So even the pretty obvious tactic of switching the shield...

Thanks folks!! Ramien was a huge help in getting these into final form, helping me curb my natural excesses (i.e. really cool powers that were just too powerful) and really being relentless in marketing these classes. I'm so excited to see them actually out there. KODT will be carrying 7 Host...

Hi folks. I'm working up rules for a new campaign. I am a lawful-neutral gamemaster (so I do everything by-the-book, open-rolling), but recognize that in some instances certain house rules need to be adopted. What I'm trying to figure out is how to work shield charges. The player's handbook...

Heh...will do. Heh, Jairami: I'm fighting an online gaming addiction (Dark Age of Camelot, anyone?) so that's why I've been absent so much. :) But I'm back in the swing of it a bit more, and have been posting from time to time (the Liches Smack, etc.). I'll try to be around more. :) best...

LOL Rats...will reread Hmm. Will re-read that one. Bleh... Oh well, will work like a charm for the Pal. :) But hey. best, Carpe

Sniper and Paladin Smacks Hi folks, Some thoughts I had upon reading through Masters of the Wild. The Sniper Smack, above, has a lot of potential. To make it nastier, I'd do the following. Items: Oath Bow (x4 damage when crits) built off of a +4 strength template, enchanted by your...

Well, I'm a big fan of playing the game by the rules. The biggest thing you can do to limit magic is to Rule 0 Heward's Handy Haversack and anything else that allows people to draw something as a free action. Then simply enforce the rules about drawing spell components, keeping spell...

(settles in, rolls up shirtsleeves) Howdy, folks. Had an interesting move happen in a game the other night. Githyanki Gladiator / Psywar. He bluffed as his move equivalent, then used Deep Impact to negate armor. Darn near stripped an uberbuffed AC character down to a 10 AC. Then, of...
