I've been trying to figure out how to get rid of AoO's myself. This may not be good enough, as it doesn't seem to refrain a spellcaster from casting in melee (I've been trying to find a way to make spellcasting in combat more risky over here.) Regarding moverelated AoO's, I'm inclined to go...

Playing a Paladin as Dirty Harry or Judge Dredd?!? :confused: What about the Good part of Lawful Good? Granted, Judge Dredd is Lawful, but good? And Harry C would certainly do things a Paladin shouldn't, like shooting a robber in the back as he runs away. I think you should set higher...

More questions come to mind: 1: Does it make a difference if a crit only multiplies the damage die? 2: Will the 'no need to confirm' be more powerful than a doubling of the threat range? Always? Thanks for any insight you math savy guys can provide!

For this comparison, lets focus on the Rapier, the Longsword and the Battleaxe. AFAIK, they deal equal amounts of damage with their different damage die and critical threat ranges/multipliers. Now, let's say that Improved Critical and Keen only adds 1 to the threat range each, but they stack...

While I'm mostly just using the core books, I can see it being a problem that every new book with divine spells broaden the Cleric's spell repertoire. Looking over the Cleric's spell list in PHB, I came up with a pretty simple mechanic: A Cleric can learn a number of spells of each level = 20...

I too missed the risk of permanent death with earlier edition's Ressurection Survival Roll, so I made the following house rule: -When Ressurected you don't lose a level, you lose a Con point. -To be able to be Ressurected, you need to make a Con check vs DC 5, with your newly lowered Con. A...

My players just own the 3.0 PHB; I'm the only one with both the three 3.0 and 3.5 core books (as well as UA). We play a house ruled mix of the two. Wombat, is there somewhere I can see your house rules?

Thanks for posting that! *scribbles: Must include a group of frontier rangers called Shadow Wolves in current or next campaign...*

I feel the same way. Luckily it's not a problem in my group, as my players only own a PHB each and none of them have the time to read about this stuff on the net. So they don't even know about PrCl's, the splatbooks, etc. So we get by on core rules, but not strictly. If I feel something is...

I tend to agree with this - which Ranger do you use instead? A house ruled or an 'official' variant? (And isn't there someplace I can check out the spell-less Ranger from Complete Warrior, short of buying the book?)

Oh, ok. Thanks. Do any of you know if a write-up of the spell less Ranger from Complete Warrior is available anywhere?

Just to clarify my position on this, I'm not advocating a Spell Failure check, but rather a way to make spell casting in combat a bit riskier than it currently is. Kinda like in previous editions where you called out your actions and rolled for initiative each round, thus risking to have your...

Wilder_jw you have three times now mentioned a spell-less Ranger from Unearthed Arcana, and this may be a really stupid question, but where is it? I see the Planar and Urban variants, a variant that gains Wild Shape but lose Combat Style and the Prestige Ranger, but on what page is the...

Just saw this at RPGnet. I haven't read it yet - just thought I'd share the link. If any of you know of any other reviews of C&C, feel free to link to them here!

I'm still a bit torn. On one side this is for a simplified version of D&D, on the other side, I'd like for players to have the freedom to be creative in combat. If these actions are allowed without any feats, should there still be feats to improve them (in a simplified game)? Good point. I...

I didn't say that I wanted any kind of spell failure chance, just that I agreed that 'magic could do with an element of uncertainty', and then I directed attention to an idea in House Rules that makes spell casting in combat riskier than it currently is (IME the current 5 foot step and the...

Steverooo, Sammael, thanks for your replies. I think you're mistaken; this is not a Spell Failure check (like the one you suggested in the thread in General); it's a check to see if you get the spell off immediately or if the casting carries over to your next action. Since this is for a system...

Steverooo, nice list. I'm quoting this part, as I too believe magic could do with an element of uncertainty. And on that subject I don't hope anyone will be offended if I blatantly link to a thread I recently started in House Rules, than until now have went unnoticed. It deals with making...

I had never heard of roleplaying before 1987; my first year of college. A new friend introduced me to this 'very special game - you'll see!', which came in a red box with a great Elmore picture on it. Shortly thereafter we learned of the existence of an advanced version played by the older...

derek_cleric, thanks for posting that link to your house rules document. I've skimmed through it, and while it isn't exactly what I'm looking for, I may be able to use some of it for my own purposes. Your rules seem very faithful to 3e in many regards, so I wondered why you changed the way...
