    Sammael's 3.75: Skills

    Damn computer crashed in mid post. OK. There is more to a class than saves, init, and bab, but the way you changed those things changes all the balancing efforts between classes (unless you account for it somehow) Rogues gain the potential to suddenly be the most powerful melee character...

    Second Darkness

    I'm actually running this adventure path now. The players derailed the plot for a good chunk of it and are now getting back on track. Here are the things I have to say about it. 1. It's really a good plot. 2. You should really make use of the fluff in the module and run alot of sidequest...

    Sammael's 3.75: Skills

    I'd love to see the in-depth version of these rules. They look quite interesting. Also, they seem to make the game more like WoD in terms of character options. I'm not sure about folding in BAB and Saves. I'm thinking if you do that you need to turn the game classless, but I'm open to at...

    Pathfinder 1E Pathfinderize the Warforged

    I think he's saying that most magic items should not be fit to the user. I was under the impression that only the more powerful magic items fit themselves to the user. That's the way I understood "how things work"; but I always just pretend the gear that players buy fits everyone of that size...

    New Class: The Judge

    I think it's quite a bit overpowered. There are already classes that do what youre seeming to accomplish though. the WoTC one that springs to mind is the Duskblade, in the PHB2. There are some other classes which do the same thing, I've seen them called things like spellblades. for comparison...

    Bestiary Gripe

    I could *by PFRAW* have the shark make a grapple, but then he's not attacking that round. I think the two should work together as I mentioned. You make a good point. Issue comes from players in my game running off laptops so we dont have to carry all the books to game/pass them around. In game...

    D&D 3.x 3.5 HR – Codex Gigas

    This. I'll read it if I ever get the time, because I'm hearing good things, but treading water through it looks daunting and painful in terms of navigation. From start to finish might work, but you'd never be able to find anything if youre looking for it (not within a reasonable amount of...

    Combination Attack Feats

    While this is kindof cool, I saw the title, and I suddenly thought of the awesomeness that is "Combination Attacks" in chrono trigger. which was, with the right coordination, multiple characters can do powerful attacks at the same time, essentially combining both separate attacks together...

    Pathfinder 1E Pathfinder Forgotten realms

    The issue with a human domain, is: The other races are defined by how theyre different from humans. If you were to try to classify humans independently, We just expand and take over space. Beyond that, we dont do much. Change the environment to suit us instead of adapting maybe. Hard to make...

    Bestiary Gripe

    Wow, really? Hmm. Alright. I guess I'm just used to seeing the Great White grab onto something and then shake it and rip in further and further. the dogs and wolves lost their grapple ability too though. hmm. While I'm prone to houseruling that the general rule is that bite attacks can cause...

    Comprehensive Trait List

    Hmm. Simple is Better is a good way to look at it, sometimes, but I'm unusually picky about HOW its simplified. the All-Brains-Must-Be-Eaten style, or anything based on d6s doesnt tend to appeal to me. The best 'simple' RPG I've seen the system for is WoD. A few elements were improved in...

    Fixing Casters, the Right Way

    Well guys, ValhallaGH; I agree on giving the characters some kind of story protection, I just disagree with tying them all to hit points, as I find hit points relate too much to your body (corporeal or not) being damaged > even though I know that it doesnt realistically work that way, how does...

    When should PCs grow into Large or Huge size?

    Instead of upping their size all at once, you could do it incrementally, giving the damage, bonuses and penalties, and reach at separate levels. I'd make a racial class and add it in with the other racial levels, and possibly make it a prestige thing so you have to be a certain level before...

    Bestiary Gripe

    So, we were playing Pathfinder last week, and we were playing through Second Darkness, and my players were doing things that were totally derailing the plot and making me have to improvise, which, while OK, led me to this realization. The player encountered a shark. Sharks have Bite. I recall...

    Comprehensive Trait List

    Sadly I have not. It's been the one big problem in our games. Everyone gets 2 traits, but the traits are so spread out that people dont realize they missed the one they wanted until like level 3. That's actually the one complaint I have about pathfinder. Because it's subscription based, It's...

    Fixing Casters, the Right Way

    the Immortals Handbook-ReCRing is the best I've seen. It's not perfect, but I have yet to see anything better, and you can use the information in that book to quickly make balanced monsters, and to a slightly more limited extent, classes. So yes. It's great. The revised CRs are at the back of...

    Fixing Casters, the Right Way

    If you make it so useless that nobody would ever take it, then you have still removed it, and adding it back in in such a worthless state is not going to absolve any of the complaints about the fact that you removed it to begin with. Hmm. Well, that is what *sneak attack* is DESIGNED to do. and...

    D&D 3.x 3.5 HR – Codex Gigas

    Hmmm.. Worked great for me, but I haven't had a chance to look through it all. My one complaint: The design you used (a single forum Thread) makes it unusually difficult to find things. The set of rules needs to be organized better, like, in an ebook or something. preferably with a ToC.

    [Weekend Design] New Classes?

    Depends on playstyle, but assuming lots of combat, yep. I wasn't saying that designing the Bard and rogue as skill characters worked out, i was just saying that is how they were designed. I'd argue that it didn't work out. Great, they're awesome skill monkeys, but skill monkeying doesn't affect...
