Actually, the Wiz10/Bard10 would have a bigger bonus. Though in mithril chain, the Bard/Wiz wouldnt be using all of it. A Bard would still get Armored Caster. The Question is, do we give the Bard a bonus to all the spellcasting from armored caster, or is bardic magic just easier to cast in...

I've had lots of players want to make things that can't be easily done with the classes available, so they multiclass the crap out of their characters or they design new classes.

I like the Caster Level Check. But I think basing it on all the arcane caster levels is better than just using like, the highest one. I like the_orc_within's DCs, but I think I'll make Encumberance be more. like, light = 0 medium = 3 heavy = 6 For the arcane caster check, we don't want to just...

if that rule is used, people either never multiclass, or they keep their classes within 1 level of eachother. I've tried that. It's kindof annoying, and only penalizes the melee multiclass characters a little, while the casters would now have to be totally retarded to multiclass. And then you...

Thanks. Yeah, you make a good point, maybe I'll tweak the skill points and give averages instead of taking the max on the skills that got combined, or maybe give conditional bonuses. Afterall, theyre not actual ranks, its a racial bonus. [Edit: I dropped the Perception to 6, but I kept the...

Hmm. I would make favored by all not replace the favored class, but sort of count as an Additional favored class. Otherwise I like it. :)

Nice catch, that is exactly what I was talking about. I hadn't seen that before, and didnt realize that anyone had statted out the levels. :)

Hmm. While you make a good point, I'm still not persuaded that the UA variant makes LA much less crappy at higher levels.To do a good job of it I'd have to stat out some different characters With LA & class levels and compare them to non LA characters, then play with numbers. and of course, the...

Why are you catching up? I mean, I can see you catching up in terms of levels but still being behind in XP. Oh, you mean because of the different xp rates for combat. That depends on how DMs award XP. We were finding people in our games tend to run off and do encounters by themselves, or with...

buying back LA is a bigger penalty, because it puts you a whole level behind in the higher levels. To lower the drow +2 to a +1 youre paying more than the 3000xp youd be behind in the idea im proposing. Then to lower it to a +0 youre paying even more. You'd be behind considerably less in the...

okay. What about the dog grapple (which is what I'm pretty sure the improved grapple on damage is supposed to be doing, not the tentacles, or why would it be on damage?)

Well, as for medium saves, it's pretty easy to peg the numbers that are directly between the hi and low. if you keep the +2, use a +1, add both fractions together ignoring that +1 and divide by 2. True everyone starts with crappy saves. But the first couple levels go by fairly quickly (at least...

Just a couple thoughts. 1. You have dimunitive creatures getting a +8 to grapple, so dimunitive creatures are 8 times better at holding on to someone once theyre attached? that doesnt make sense. I could see making them harder to hit initially, for the grapple, but they sbhouldnt be better at...

I just had a moment of inspiration. Here's how a Level Adjust works in RAW. Say You have a level adjust of +2. That means that when you take your level 1 class, youre now a level three character. While this might work well at low levels, at higher levels you find the class abilities are much...

A Few points Arkhandus. 1: being how the numbers are generated to begin with, not using my variant rule we's still at least be using the rule from UA for the fractional bonuses. The BAB falling from reasonable multiclassing is a good enough reason for me, and I've I'm doing it for BAB I may as...

Has anyone changed Arcane spell failure to be a spellcraft skill check? I was thinking maybe instead of flat % of failure those flat chances could somehow be translated to skill DCs. I was also thinking of factoring in weight of carried items. So if you're carrying too much you start having a...

That's what I thought too. I didnt change that part, that's right out of my 3.5 mm under undead type. They're no longer getting their d12s though. Mindless undead like skeles and zombies get the d12 and no CHA bonus, intelligent undead get the CHA mod but no HD increase. The old undead type was...

The UA tables still include the +2 boost at the first level of a class, and that is what I was referring to as a problem. Fractional BAB is a bit of a boost, but the UA fractional saves are also a boost. You always have at least what is listed in the rounded phb tables, plus a fraction. Now...
