    Why does D&D have bears?

    D&D needs more Dire Kangaroos, Dire Koalas, and Dire Platypuses. :D

    RAISE DEAD: get rid of it and make D&D better

    I honestly don't think is such a binary situation. Having Raise Dead/Resurrection/etc in game doesn't mean that death does not matter, at least not in any of the groups I've been a part of for any appreciable length of time. A number of my own PCs' personalities changed, or were strongly...

    Final Fantasy J

    "Kyo!" Frida calls out to her friend, "He's trying to provoke you!" She keeps an eye on the group of men behind Kyo and the bandit leader. Frida's on the front deck of the lead caravan. She also made the sense motive roll: Bandit King Sense Motive (1d20+5=22) She readies an action to cast...

    Can you trigger a touch spell by slapping a guy (or poking him?)

    Well, there is Disguise Spell (in Complete Adventurer), which requires bardic music and perform ranks. Folk have to beat your Perform check with a spot check to determine that you're casting. Even people who notice that you're casting, cannot ID the spell you're casting with this feat (and...

    Gnoll army heavy hitter help please

    Barbarians, Druids, Rangers, and Scouts are all full of win for a nature-based Gnoll war-party. If you wanted to play up the fiendish aspects, you could add in dragon shamans (with the flavour changed to reflect the individual demon-lords worshipped by each gnoll tribe), sorcerers with the...

    Working on a new base class (ToB, Bo9S style)

    Deflect Arrows seem to be excellent ideas for Counters, in my opinion. Since your master of blades is meant to be an agile combatant, he could be a master of counter-type manoeuvres, agile ripostes, and accurate strikes. Basically, a fighter who avoids/negates attacks, as opposed to simply...

    Barbarian / Monk

    You could give the 3-level Fist of the Forest class from Complete Champion a go, if you wanted. It gives monk-like benefits (Con to AC, unarmed strike, fast movement), as well as an extra rage-like state (you can rage at the same time as you use this trance), and scent, in return for a special...

    Requiring Players To Draw The Dungeon Map!

    My old group mostly got the DM to draw the map, since he was so awful at describing the rooms.

    Ballista on your back.

    Forget the ballista! A Huge Heavy Repeating Crossbow deals 3d8 damage per shot anyway! If you don't mind the giant sucking up a -2 to hit, increase the size to Gargantuan for a 6d6 damage weapon! Some things to thing of: Crossbow Sniper (PHB 2) to add Dex to damage at close range, and at...

    bonus spells for high modifiers, but limited spell levels

    Unfortunately, By the RAW those slots are "lost", since you only can get bonus spells for spell levels your class actually has. Your example paladin, no matter how high his starting Wisdom, would be unable to "cash in" his bonus 2nd level spell slots until he hits level 8, when his 2nd-level...

    How would you remake the D&D cartoon?

    More doesn't mean better. I'd rather quality of quantity any day. :) I want great cleavage! :lol:

    D&D 4E In terms of theme, tone, and spirit, I hope 4e . . .

    I always thought Lidda had an uncanny resemblance to Jennifer Garner, myself. I agree, that would be heaps cool!

    Final Fantasy J

    Frida had been spending much of her time keeping an eye on the others, mostly under the pretense of drawing pictures of them. It was on one such occasion that the canvoy had come across the blockage, and the strange man sitting atop it. The girl gets to her feet and looks warily around for...

    D&D 4E In terms of theme, tone, and spirit, I hope 4e . . .

    The more static D&D Iconics shown in the PHB, as well as the example pics shown in prestige class entries certainly aren't as dynamic. I think the reason for this is that they are "examples", as in "here's an example of a character with this class or option". I figure that the Paizo Iconics are...

    D&D 4E In terms of theme, tone, and spirit, I hope 4e . . .

    Even if its true that the "other side" is acting poorly, it would reflect better on "your side" to act more maturely than act in the same fashion, don't you think?

    Dex Bonus to Damage?

    Heck, I'd just add Weapon Focus to the requirements.
