    Making 1 skill from 2, good or bad?

    Wisdom. You're careful when you're looking and you're careful when you are checking things over, making sure you don't miss anything. ciaran

    Making 1 skill from 2, good or bad?

    Because you don't think the gruff and tumble streetwise jerk is lying when he says he's going to rip you a new one? ciaran

    Making 1 skill from 2, good or bad?

    So, what I am trying to point out here is that these distinctions are somewhat arbitrary. Searching is essentially an eye for detail, whatever that may be. This leaves Spot as being what... pure seeing skill? There is no separate ability, outside of being aware of one's surroundings in whichever...

    Making 1 skill from 2, good or bad?

    This is why I rolled these two SAME skills into "Observe." No one is better at RUMMAGING THROUGH THINGS. It's a general awareness of one's surroundings (whether or not you're running your silly hands through it). Detective-work. Don't tell me Spot is better eyesight because there is no reason...

    Making 1 skill from 2, good or bad?

    Why don't combine the nonsensical spot and search? ciaran

    The veteran (a prestige class inspired by a boring boxing match, revised 10/3-03)

    Why is the opponent fatiguing out before his time? It's a bit ridiculous if the opponent doesn't really care to engage the veteran all out anyway. The veteran should receive extended "lasting time" instead of the opponent oddly collapsing simply because the guy kept engaging him. Is the veteran...

    D&D 3.x What are your current 3.5 House Rules?

    That's pretty good work. You should work professionally! ciaran

    D&D 3.x What are your current 3.5 House Rules?

    We had implemented such a system for feats (an exponentially growing cost), rudimentary spellcasting (fighters could learn how to cast a magic missile, for example), and buying ability points (again, an exponentially growing cost). The first was scrapped in favour of improving feats. The second...

    The Heroes Measure

    So don't reward them for playing power-hog races (like Drow, ECL +2) by giving them 10 extra hp! Good god. ??? ciaran

    So a CR 20 monster with manually boosted ability scores is still CR 20? ciaran

    Alternatives to Magic Overload (long)

    It appears that the "pulp action" that you are trying to avoid is met head on with a system of bonuses that work exactly like magical weapons do, except that they're called something else. The above masterwork options seem bizzare: +5? How well made is the darn thing? I think that you can...

    1st to 3rd ED Wiz Casting

    Lets the sorcs learn priest/bard spells kind of like the Sha'ir from 2ed. It's an edge the wizards won't have, and the sorcs have a limited # of spells known anyway so it's not too overwhelming. ciaran

    Rethinking humans...

    Xeriar. I think you have hit the nail on the head as far as dominance goes. The aspects presented in the first post as well as the definitions by numbers that follow in a later post do explain (better) which humans are mysteriously better off than everyone else. I always thought that racial...
