    A Lawful Theft

    The description and the spells suggest the domain of a Chaotic Cleric / Rogue type deity. Personally, I would think that this would be a deity followed by ring leaders, mafia heads, crime bosses, etc. If it is lawful, it is lawful in the sense of the mob being lawful (ie: their own code that...

    Magic as a skill system

    Elements of Magic is not BESM. It is a totally separate / different d20 sourcebook. Source books, actually, as there are two books on point based system and one on a skill based system. Personally, I like both - far and above the slot system, but I think a synthesis of the two might work...

    Suggestions for a templated roper

    I second this suggestion. Psuedonatural just does not make sense for a cavern connecting to a Lawful Evil plane. Corrupted, however, works very well for a connection to an Evil plane, and Half-Earth Elemental makes a lot of sense for a creature that all but an earth subtype creature already...

    News on Monster Manual V

    It sounds like MM5 is better than MM4, but from what has been said I still do not think it will be good enough to buy. Classed creatures are not necessary. Templates (weird or otherwise) are little more than variant classes when dealing with monsters. Just give us the templates as an appendix...

    OotS #451

    Just by creating a Death Knight and Flaming Eye (or whatever the fearful one is called), I figured he had to be higher up in levels. Also, if he is the cohort of Xycon (which I've suspected for a while now), then he would have to be up there - as Xycon can cast 9th level spells that suggests...

    Complete Champion excerpts

    My problem with Moral Facade is that unlike Undetectable Alignment is does not merely conceal one's alignment - it deliberately creates a falsehood. It just seems odd to me that a Lawful spell list should have a chaotic spell in it. I'd as expect to see Protection from Law on a Paladin's spell...

    Complete Champion excerpts

    :confused: Wouldn't the use of such a spell break a Paladin's code of conduct? (truth over falsehood, and all that)? I see no problem with a Bard having use of it, of course, or even a non-lawful cleric, actually, but a Paladin? That just seems odd . . . . As for the Healing Touch reserve...

    OOTS 450 - Wands are for Suckers

    Considering he took the feat "Craft Disturbing Mental Image" last time he leveled up (and took a level of barbarian), it wouldn't surprise me at all if he has not only taken the feat Skill Mastery (Intimidate), but has also maxed out the skill. Hmm, for a Bbn 1 / Rng 11 that would work out to...

    Healing touch: warlock-like cleric tweak

    Umm, you have heard of the new Reserve feat that allows any with a healing spell to heal a few hp an infinite number of times so long as they have a single healing spell read - either prepared or spontaneous, right? It's in Complete Champion and in the reviews of that book on the WotC site...

    Catfolk: +1 LA just doesn't seem right..

    Several ideas come to mind. +4 bonus to Balance and Tumble checks (tumble checks are good vs falling damage) Racial Bonus Feats: Agile Athlete, Improve Unarmed Strike (only with piercing damage - due to claws), Leap of the Heavens, and Run. If they do not have claws drop the IUS. Maybe Run...

    Touch of Healing [Reserve] feat from Complete Champion Excerpt

    I've been expecting something like this . . . The design philosophy at WotC has changed over the last few years. It used to be that the group adventured from X number of encounters to X number of encounters. Casters had to pace themselves to make it through X number of encounters before having...

    Have you decided to change systems?

    I play core D&D (by which I really mean 3.5e D&D with various WotC suppliments, numerous and various minor house rules, and some 3rd party books as well). I also play variants of core D&D so heavily and thoroughly house ruled that it should probably be considered a separate system. Basically...

    Who Else Thinks This Chick is Hot?

    I think she is just a bit above average in appearance, but to know if she is attractive or not I would need to know more about her personality, hear her voice (and what she is speaking about), etc. Appearance is but part of the equation for determining attractiveness. Since you seem to be...

    Sell me on fey!

    Unfortunately, WotC has made so many fae creatures non-fae (for example: goblins, elves, and bugbears) that any book about them would be fundamentally flawed in its very foundation, potentially dooming it before it is even published - at least IMHO.

    Oots 447

    Why do you think the paladins are all mid to high level? :uhoh: :confused: Miko is supposed to be among the best of them, and she is about 12th level. Xykon is close to 20th level - taking into account his level / CR adjustment for being a Lich. I'd guess that at best there might be a few...

    Why do elves suck?

    I find it interesting that the only real reason listed for elves being subpar (having Wizard as a favored class) is second lowest on the pole - lowest, actually, if you exclude the "other" category.

    Give me some made up feats you use

    I've made up several, but many tend to be one shots to help fill a character concept. The one that is used most often - and happens to be the first I ever made up - is as follows: Improved Eschew Materials You may ignore material components equal in cost to 25 gp per caster level. Examples...

    three new turning ideas

    Player's Guide to Kalamar The Player's Guide to Kalamar, the last few pages of chapter 6. In the somewhat recent pdf updated version, it is on pages 155 - 158. However, I had recalled incorrectly. You actually have to take a feat to get the use of the option. These range from a +20 bonus to...

    Other game mechanics and house rules forums?

    Thank you Yes, part of the reason I asked the question here is to avoid boards like WotC. I once was a member there (might still be, actually), but its been a couple years since I posted there. There was some occasionally good material there, but winnowing it from the chaff was a strain (pun...

    three new turning ideas

    Boss, Kalamar has something similar, in that each deity has their own additional use for Turn Undead (called Channelling). One deity's could act as the Mending spell or Make Whole spell, as I recall, while another could create sources of light, and another could grant a bonus to a skill, and...
