    Metamagic Feats - Alternate Rules

    Metamagics I personally believe that the standard metamagic structure is far too expensive. We tend to play low to mid level characters who might get 3-4 feats total (fighters, more of course), so to cost both a feat and mutliple spell levels higher is far too expensive in my mind. My own...

    Heart of Gold (feat). Thoughts?

    Cheiromancer, I hadn't remembered that equation. I wonder whether I could use it in the feat. Golden Soul feat By putting more of yourself into an item you may reduce the gold cost for magic item creation. For each XP you sacrifice you may reduce the gold cost by 5. For example, a 10,000...

    Heart of Gold (feat). Thoughts?

    Dave_O, Deep pockets would be inappropriate because I was attempting to go for exactly the opposite effect. This feat would allow characters to put more of themselves (XP) into an item, and less of the world (gold). Mainly I had been thinking about items and characters where it didn't make...

    Heart of Gold (feat). Thoughts?

    Heart of Gold feat At your choice, creating magic items may cost you 1/10 their market value in gold and 1/10 their market value in XP. For example, an item with a market value of 10,000 gold would cost 1000XP and 1000 gold. Normal: 1/2 market value in gold and 1/25 value in XP (eg 5000 gold...

    Moon-Ivy pricing

    I realize this issue is so 6 months ago, but can anyone explain why Moon Ivy armor (from Arms & Equipment Guide) should cost 16,000 gold? I mean, it's a cool concept certainly, and has good stats (+4 AC /+6 MaxDex), but IMC we get attacked at night quite frequently. This armor doesn't even...

    True Druid for your critique

    Updated Chart clark, You are correct. The cold iron DR is taken directly from the Fey. I was initially trying to design a half-fey race, but it morphed into an alt.druid. The issue with DR is that I wanted it to be useful, but at the same time it is a powerful ability and I didn't want to...

    Magic Item Creation: Sharing the XP Burden

    Sharing the XP Burden Others may share the XP cost of creation, following the formula: caster cost = normal cost/number of participants each participant's cost = 2 x normal cost/number of participants. So, the caster may cut their XP cost in half if another accepts the full XP cost, or to...

    True Druid for your critique

    True The "True" part was flavor really. I didn't post any of the background/theory because I was mostly interested in whether it was balanced against the 3.5 druid class/other classes. I could have named it Alt Druid just as well I suppose. Any other thoughts? An easy room so far.

    Animal Companions and spells

    Animal Companions ARE animals Animal Companions are referred to as both animals and magical beasts in the PHB. Andy Collins has written to say that Animal Companions are in fact supposed to be animals and that anything to the contrary is an errata. Thus, Animal Growth will work just great on...

    Sagiro's Story Hour Returns (new thread started on 5/18/08)

    Ironstorm Yes, I am curious too. What book? and how are you letting it interact with Lightning Bolt and/or Chain Lightning?

    Faerie Fire

    It's not clear to me whether the pale glow stays with creature(s) that were initially affected (within the 5ft burst) or whether the glow dissipates from them if/when they leave the area. Thoughts?

    Sagiro's Story Hour Returns (new thread started on 5/18/08)

    Thanks for the weekend's entertainment Sagiro, Just spent my weekend catching up on your wonderful story after being away from it for many months. So much about your game is excellent: the depth of worlds within worlds, the characters' consistency and emotion, the wit, good tactics. It's...

    D&D 3.x [3.5e] Making stabilizing a Fort save

    Alternate version Make the Fort Save DC = 10 + number of points below 0. Then combine this with Dying down to Con Score below 0. The farther you slip away the harder it is to come back.

    D&D 3.x [3.5] Fly?

    4th level I don't have the new books yet, but it seems to me that Overland Flight might be fine as a 4th level spell. I nice alternate/early version of Teleport. Otherwise as others have mentioned why bother, just Teleport...

    non-metal armors in A&E Guide and Druids

    Moon Ivy By the rules I think many of those armors are restricted, but I think the intent and flavor of the druid rules would not be broken by allowing many of those "nature-y" armors to be worn. Side question: Why on earth is Moon-Ivy so expensive? Is that typo? I mean it's good and cool...

    Spells Stacking/Overlapping vs Dispel Magic

    Followup question. Is this rule consistant? If I cast Cat's Grace on myself 4 times will an opponent have to Dispel it 4 times as well? My general line of thinking was that only one specific spell effect can be active at a time. Additional castings will simply extend the duration, or in the...

    Spells Stacking/Overlapping vs Dispel Magic

    Four spells or One? I was assuming I would want to target just the specific spell(s): Dimensional Anchor. Do I need to do that 4 times, or only once?
