This question seriously depends on how large we define the standard potion as. I'm seeing a 6 second potion, as like 3 to 4 mouthfuls around 2 oz. 5 or 6 mouthfuls if im trying to drink it quickly. Assuming a potion goes down like vodka, maybe 3oz per potion. ~ While I can't stand 4e, I AM...

*pout* you totally ignored my post celebrim. :( lol

I saw someone propose Caster Level Checks to cast spells (as a check to some of the crazier ones). So I'm going to ask, does anyone think this would be a good Idea? I proposed a change a while back, and repeated it in a recent thread: Caster Level Check replacing ASF, With Caster Level...

Some things I've been wondering about with Trailblazer, specifically with regard to the single spell table. I like the Idea of a shared spell table, but there are some things that would require, some you dealt with, others I don't think you did. I was wondering if you had any suggestions on...

Hey again, Celebrim, Wulf. You both made some really good points. So here is what I have to say. Wulf, your intent is to balance combat, and think out of combat should not be counterweighted against in-combat. Trailblazer clearly supports that, and in fact, does so quite well. (I Have some...

I like paizo alot, and I have abandoned WotC because I've decided I don't like 4e, or how they killed FR (part 2 would have just made me stop buying FR products). Why I do or don't like 4e is not the purpose of this thread, however, the point is that I now buy almost everything from Paizo (with...

Hey Wulf Ratbane: It's true, damage dealing is their primary class feature, but the way they set it up, it needs to be used strategically. - The need for FULL BAB goes down if the opponent has to be flat footed for it to work. - While their main 'ability' is a damage dealer, they're simply...

@Celebrim And thats a good point. If you dont need the gear, and youre putting just as much effort into learning to fight regardless, why bother to acquire gear when you can do just as well without it. In that situation, of COURSE you're going to be a monk, because then a Fighter is just a monk...

As for what I'm trying to achieve: I'm not so much looking to up the lethality drastically. I suppose my goals are: 1) Have a MUCH smaller power gap between levels. (Players will have more comparable hit point totals between say, level 5 and level 10, to choose two numbers.) 2) Comparable...

I looked at gurps, and it looked so clunky I couldnt bring myself to try it. Not just at character creation looking clunky, but the whole game. I'm going for something a tad more realistic than standard d20, but more intuitive than gurps. But for now this is just discussion to try to work out if...

Your spell book has things in it that make sense. I like alot of it. Empower spell seems weak. Doesnt really fix spellcasters though. They still fall flat on their faces if you try to multiclass.

I was thinking, and I think I like the Idea of making some big changes to combat. This would mean some large changes. Here are the proposed chanes and the reasons why. I don't think I plan on using any published versions of these chages, as I looked and dont like them. 1. Piecemeal Armor...

1. The issue is still there, youre just not worried about it. 2. Negative energy (what you would get by connecting to the Negative Energy Plane) heals undead. It's what keeps them alive to begin with. That matters mostly if it's Negative Energy damage. You didn't really specify the damage type...

Not to mention how does it affect undead, which are powered by the negative energy plance and healed by negative energy. I would argue that this would also heal them.

If the dwarf is from somewhere with some tech, you could make the dragonbane weapon be a firearm. My 3.5e DMG is missing, but in the 3.0 DMG, under Futuristic Weapons, Rainaissance Weapons, there are a pistol (1d10) and musket (1d12) which you could use. Presumeably theyre also in the 3.5 dmg...

I'm hating ENWorld right now it logged me out after I wrote a big post. OKay: Instead of LA + Racial HD (Which makes characters tend to suck, especially as casters) Try Breaking the monster down into LA 0 Race + Racial Levels. I Attached an example of how I broke down the Satyr. It has all of...

If youre looking for a non-ridiculous Monk Variant, look at the Monk in Project Phoenix. Search Google for Project Phoenix d20, and it should be right at the top. It's got different martial schools. I cant remember if it fixed the flurry of misses, but it's definitely a good improvement. The...

That's a fair assessment, but it wouldn't be a big stretch to use that computer program to generate a bunch of tables, and then have the player use the table that is numerically closer to their BMB, BMP, BME. I'm using Pathfinder as a base for all my numbers, not old 3.5. I'm firmly in the...

That's actually the fix I used to use. It results in the characters still casting alot more low level spells, and having alot more low level spells per day. In this (quite complicated) system (again, gonna write an app to calculate it on the fly so I dont have to do the math - I bring my...

Okay.. This is what I'll be trying in my game tonight. I don't plan on making the players do the math though. (lol) Tell me what you guys think of it. I believe the math is right (or at least quite close). The below is what I'm going to try using to make spellcasting more universal. I got...
