This thread made me recall a wand that could be recharged under specific circumstances, made by Sean K. Reynolds: 'Dalamar's Wand of Lightning: This wand has seven charges, and each can be used to cast a 10th-level lightning bolt spell as a spell trigger item. The item recharges one charge if...

No, you can't go higher than 18: And even if you start with the relatively high Elite Array, only one score can go to 18. If you don't like the re-rolling bit, here's a couple of variants: A: If a roll makes a score go beyond 18, the roll doesn't count and you don't get to re-roll (this...

Would this method adequately address all 3 points? Use the Elite Array (15,14,13,12,10,8) - arrange as desired. Roll 6d6. A '1' means +1 to Str, a '2' means +1 to Dex, etc. If a roll makes a score go beyond 18, re-roll. I haven't had a chance to use this yet - my current campaign has...

Davis, thanks for your reply, but I didn't actually order from you (yet) - but Turanil did and as I understand it he has yet to receive his box set, so your checking up on it will propably please him. What I did was write you (TLG) an email 2 weeks ago, asking about shipping prices and...

It's been two weeks now, and still no reply from TLG :( To those of you from Europe who already ordered, did you get your's? Was there any added tax on your end? (There usually is, when ordering from the US. But I believe packets sometimes may pass through customs untaxed...) And to all of...

That's right. Same here. None of the other 'Improved Combat Maneuver' feats grants you a free attack. When your tripped target stands up is when you get your free attack. Because most players are actually concerned about the flavor and believability of their character concept?

If you like to choose between variant rules to suit your need, or if you'd like some inspiration for house rules of your own, it's a great buy. So far I've used the Domain Wizard's domain list to boost the Sorcerer and the Level Check Turning Variant to make my own Turn Undead house rule. So...

I've been giving this some more thought. What would the details be like? Should the duration just be 1 minute like like normal turning? What should the radius be? Would attacking those repelled break the turning? I kinda like the idea of keeping the undead at bay opposed to making them flee...

My reason for not having the max HD of a single undead be this limited from the get-go, was that certain undead with high HD have incomparable low CR's, making the inability to turn them due to HD kind of strange. I was hoping that the turn DC of those undead with high HD and comparable CR's...

For two reasons: First, while I didn't mind boosting the power of Remove Disease, I didn't want to jump from 1/week to 1/day (and then even boosting it over levels to several times per day) without giving something up. So I was trying to balance the extra uses by adding a cost of healing...

jerichothebard, thanks for running those calculations. Without Excel I can't check it out, though. If you come up with a more fitting result of a turning than the undead fleeing, let me know! Mouseferatu, thanks for looking this over I both agree and disagree with this. While my proposed...

Gotcha. On a totally unrelated note, would you mind swinging by House Rules and give me your view on the couple of threads I started there? Especially the two with Turn Undead in their title. I'd greatly appreciate any input!

He would get the benefit of a double damage attack from the feat, which I don't believe he should get on an AoO if he hadn't readied his weapon. But I think I got the order of attacks wrong. He should get his feat-granted attack (for double damage) first, then his AoO as the opponent passes...

Would someone with a Longspear get an AoO followed by the feat-granted attack when charged? Personally, I feel that the situatin of being charged comes up so seldom that you don't need the Weapon Focus feats as a prereq to balance the feat. I'd just let the prereq be BAB +1 and proficiency in...

I can see what you're trying to accomplish - whether it's worth it or not will depend on how you feel about auto kills. If - like you seem to do - really dislike them, it's propably worth it. To me it wouldn't be worth it. For one thing I play a slightly lower powered game with less static...

For flavor reasons, and to further differentiate the Paladin from the Cleric, I was thinking about giving them Planar Banishment from UA p.67 instead of Turn Undead at level 4. Planar Banishment works as Turn Undead, but it affects Evil Outsiders instead of undead. On a successful check the...

Since before UA came out, some of us was discussing how to make the Turn Undead mechanic more d20-like. Some wanted it to be a Will save made by the undead vs a DC set by the turner, others (including me) wanted it to be a check of d20 +Cleric level +Cha modifier vs a DC set by the undead. I...

I'm not really sure I'd want to nerf archers this much, but doesn't it make sense to require an Exotic Weapon feat to be able to use a composite bow build for extra strenght? Balance wise it seems that some feats give less benefit than going from a normal to a mighty bow does. Flavor wise...

Regardless of whether you want a Magestrike ability or not, this thread gave me the same idea - that a Wizard's (no cost) components could be replaced by a staff focus. Whether or not this should be the same for all Wizard's could depend on the campign's flavor. E.g. an Arthurian/Tolkinesque...

Thanks for your kind reply. The reason for it being as high as it is (15 points), is to keep it somewhat in check. By the RAW the Paladin doesn't get Remove Disease until 6th level, and then only once per week. While I don't mind him getting it a level early* and giving him the ability to use...
