This is an artifact of the "I made up some numbers" to calculate the Psion total. If you got suggestions on how to calculate points for Psionic abilities, let me know, otherwise I'm going to make up some more numbers. No one else I've seen has tackled the Psi powers yet. Opps. Total: 223

I've updated the Class Construction Guide. No new rules or number, but I've updated more of the known classes from the SRD. This include the Psionic, Modern and Future classes, but not the Epic level classes. This is mostly to prove if the classes balance with each other, so next is to figure...

I'm stunned no one's mentioned it so far, but the Traveller D20 contains many good things for your overworked brain. The CotI File library has some deck plans and some adventures. The Gateway Domain book is an excellent campaign resource. and the PDFs add more options.

Given the many vigorous debates on this forum regarding the usefullness and use of prestige classes I would argue this is a play style issue, not a design issue. I agree that if you play only to 10th level and then multiclass, the higher bonus feats are never used. OTOH, if you play single class...

Why? The higher level feat pick can, in theory, have access to some feats which require prerequisites. These feats with prerequisites are usually stronger than the lower rank feats. In any case I want to go very simple for this. Bonus feat 2 points, if the feat list is more than 20, 3 points...

I haven't counted the number of feats in the PHB so I'm making up some numbers here. If I agree with the point that picking a feat from a list larger than one is worth more than picking from a list of one item, what should the cost be, in your estimation? The SRD has some 100 feats listed...

If you are interested in technical terms being somewhat correct, I recommend The Jargon File.

Most good teckspeak computers rely upon the description of technical abilities to be cool: 54.75 Ghz 128 bit 32-way processor with 64 gigs synapic response memory. Action Hacker (if truly leet) builds his own systems. The base computer should have a code name. Oracle is a (well|over) used...

This comes out of a combination of factors: Bards only get 4th level spells, they have to "know" them like sorcerers, and they have a smaller list of overall spells than the sorcerers. This ends up makng spell casting point costs somewhat non-linear. You're saying the BAB cost should be...

Since I've not seen your numbers, I'm not sure why they don't match. If you look at the Section 15 in the OGL page, there is a list of other class construction guides I used as references. I reverse engineered them, and then rounded the results and averaged them. I wanted a system where the...

After seeing the feedback on the previous release of the Class Construction Guide, I've produced an updated version for your perusal. Changes include: An complete update of the costs for the class elements. Different point costs for classes of different levels. Updated to use the SRD 3.5...

Charles Grey wrote a partial system based upon the D20 Anime guide. Silver Age Sentinels D20 This is something new to me: D(Liberation)20 a classless d20 system. Do a goodle searach for "Classless D20", there are a number of other fan sites with partial D20 classless systems out there.

Since I'm the person who started this: I apologise for the instulting suprlative used in the description. I probably should have said: Wow, this feat is too powerful for my campaign. I consider the comparison with Toughness to be somewhat off. To properly compare Inquisitive with Toughness...

Done.

I have seen Dr Spunj's spreadsheet, as well as the Point Buy Numbers and The Versatile Hero This is an revision of the Class Construction Engine, and mine is going to be revised further.

I uploaded a "Class Construction Guide" pdf to the uploads section of the site, and filled out the link form. All seemed to be ok. But the document is no longer there. http://www.enworld.org/forums/downloads/Class%20Construction%20Guide.pdf Was it removed on purpose or accidently deleted...

Yes I can see. Thank you very much for sending these on to the interested parties. I don't know why the document is unvavailable, I've asked the administrators. I'm also making updates to it currently and hope to have a new version shortly. Edit: Apparently the Download section of this site is...

In theory the points are independent, and you can compare any two classes regardless of length. In practice, comparing them assumes that they are the same length, extending the shorter one without any additional bonuses. If the class features continue to improved with levels, you should add the...

Hrmm, that would make it worth 15 (for the epic level feat) plus 10 increases (15) or 30 points, about 6 feats worth. I'd be very reluctant to improve it past this level. I think the trade of 10 SA bonuses for 10 or 11 feats is an unbalanced one. Mostly because the selection general bonus feats...
