    "Soul-bound" magic items, homebrews, economy

    There are a couple of things already similar to this in d20. The first is a feat from Book of Exhalted Deeds, and its the Ancestral Relic. Bound to a family line rather than an indiviudal. And from the MythDrannor came the elven blades (forget the name) but basically the same thing as an...

    A Dice and paper organizer!

    Ok, what I would find useful. First I almost always game usingn a clipboard, but always need a place to roll the dice. And I often have a calculator nearby, moreso with 3.5 than ever before. Main area, clipboard to attach character sheet. Underneath could be storage for said character sheets...

    Diplomacy +23 at 3rd level??? Help, my player must be wrong!!!

    As Boss stated some synergy bonuses may not be appropriate at all times, but probably can be used. For example I sense motive of the pesants why they are about to revolt, then using my knowledge of Nobles I bluff my way through telling them not to revolt because the nobles would react this way...

    Cohort question: Pixies and Psuedodragons

    Darren I believe is right. I have a character (Fairy) that has a Improved familiar and I took the Dragon Cohort feat, so I have a PseudoDragon (which we counted as a 5 ECL creature and then added class levels (fighter/devoted defender[3.0]). The Dragon Cohort feat gives you only a single...

    Magic, gems and some thinking.

    I started something like this a while back, trying to create a PrC which uses gems to cast spells. Basically what I came up with (high level): - Set rarity for each spell - Based on spell rarity, cost of gem to store spell. - Gems values, based on type, Size, Cut, Quality Compute costs of...

    The Saint template

    Not sure what the LA is? assuming it is 2, you are actually giving up 3 levels. You just gained enough exp to advance (1 level) and gained the Saint Template. You then have to wait 2 more levels till you can advance again. Now when you hit 9, can you take another class or is that the cap for...

    Touch of Terror: Help me with a new spell!

    On the multiple attack front, which seems to be where the spell gets very powerful, Tenser's Transformation. It's 6th level, but add that to this spell and all of a sudden a mage can be getting great BAB with a high number of attacks. Attacking a Fighter type (which usually has a poor will save...

    Thunder Cats....HOOOOOOOOO!!!!

    Yeah, remember that show too. The link to the document looks good. I too recall the Eye going dark for some reason, though can't recall. Could the sword be thrown in large size? I thought I recalled it could only be thrown in dagger form. As for the Glove, yeah, it had the grappling claws that...

    Vampiric Cleric raises his Holy Symbol...and then...!

    Well I think for the Rules lawyers, yes you would turn yourself. But from a logical point of view. You are channeling the power of your god, who has obviously has accepted you as undead, otherwise you wouldn't be able to channel his powers, so his powers are such that they should not effect you.

    Don't worry - be reincarnated!

    I have only ever been in one game where I was reincarnated and do not recall an game I GM'd where it was done. In the game where I was reincarnated it was by a Earth Wyrm (a Dragon of the Earth - think super dragon size of mountains). Since we were on a mission for him and I died in his...

    Is Forgotten realms SRD?

    Yes/No. FR is based off of the SRD, but it extends the SRD. Content found under the FR setting is not SRD in that you can reproduce it or put it on web page. It is copyrighted.

    Do you realize how small a halfling/gnome is?

    One thing that I always consider that, yes a Halfling is as small as a 2-4yr old, though their muscles are probably developed much more efficient, they are after all a different species or even genus, than humans, they are humanoids, not humans. Now look how other creatures can do more than a...

    How do elves build there cities?

    Well as stated, different elven races have different types of structures. I consider Woodelves/WildElves to be the ones that live in the trees. These are often "grown" from or sculpted the tree rather than using cut woods. These would be created by druid types using control or warp wood spells...

    How to do a "low" economy game?

    Just timing in as it sounds like you have a solution, but wanted to voice additional notes. Some of these were already similarly mentioned. I have a home brew campaign (cataclysm) where all major cities were destroyed when a god tried to enter the prime (not allowed in my world). First as...

    Cooperating on Item Creation

    In our campaigns, we have a house rule which allows another individual to provide upto half the XP cost. This way when casters make items for non-casters, they don't fall behind XP wise. Basically the caster taps into the life force of the other to help bind the magic to the item. It is a...

    New Class: The Witch

    The problem with witches are there are so many varients. ALso note, I believe there are several witch books out there for d20. Some initial thoughts. Potions are good, most witches always brew potions. But rather than just allow them to brew them for free, give some more features: - Reduced...

    Guys playing girls (chime in, ladies)

    I currently play a female character, a Halfling Shaman/Shapechanger that lived in the wild by herself for a long time. She is probably only the second female character I have played, so still stretching my rp muscles as well. When someone mentioned a genderless character, she (my character)...

    New Core Class: The Shifter

    I like it. I play a Shaman (from OA) along with the Shifter Class (also from OA). Basically you are substituting the spell casting ability to shift. Points: I would make CON and WIS the primary abilities. All the wildshape abilities are based on WIS, but if you wanted to change that I would...

    Help word a feat?

    Well the feat I suggested was/is not an EPIC feat. I just referenced the Spell Opprotunity because it is EPIC, but allows casting many spells in a single round. You could do some formula of Concentration check, but at mid to high levels it becomes a mute point as they are too easy to make...
