Regarding the name change thingie: Go to the meta forum (Scroll down to the bottom of the list of forums). On the first page is a thread about someone else who wants to change their name. Piratecat did it for him. Just do the mods a favor, ask nicely. They are a great group of people and...

Cool. I totally forgot about this thread, too. I'm back and I've got a doozy. We'll see if it is likeable or not. Here's the premise. Each stanza is a different adventure. Thus, this song would be the equivalent of a 3 part Adventure Path. Of course, other combats can be added in to make...

Yeah, but you can't be prepared for everything. There are limits on being prepared, and this is one I doubt most people get. It's easy to sit there and say "you'll be sorry" ... and there is truth in that. But come on. You can't possibly have an arrow for everything. And if you did, you'ld...

Magic takes several discrete forms in my homebrew. Let's see: The basics should be stated: arcane, divine, and psionics. "Magic" user can be broken down into those who study for their spells (wizards and the like), those whose power emmanates from their body (sorcerers and warlock types), and...

I think it is fair to say that in any given game, it is about the odds of a coin flip as to whether you can even write it on your character sheet. Now ... as to what form it takes once it gets on the character sheet (if it gets on at all) ... that's another story. If we are talking standard as...

Back to the OP, though, it depends on how high of a level you are how much damage you expect to do. For example, most of a rogue's damage is going to come out of their sneak attack. that's a flat +xd6, where x is dpendant upon your level. Taking one or two points away from an attack with...

Bingo. Well said. Of course, that is assuming you come from a mindset like ours. There are other people who have a real eye for mechanics, but just aren't good storytellers. Thus, they need to buy the fluff and come up with the mechanics on their own. To be a productive company, I think you...

This is precisely what I was going to post, but using slightly different words. I like to write the fluff for myself. That is why I write the story hours here. Want to read a tale about a Duskblade, Favored soul, Wizard, and Psion? See my sig. You'll get my interpretation of crunch without...

Dude, it is fantasy art. Drawn to draw your attention to certain areas. It's supposed to be that way. As for hot, I prefer 3D. Not to be rude or crass, but kissing and touching paper just opens you up to papercuts! :p (Or worse yet, drooling on the paper ruins the product!) Now, I'm not...

Wow. This is not a position I see all that often on the boards. I'm with Desert Gled on this one. Wizards need no power up. They have a reduced amount of spells for a reason. The wizard class is not about always having a piece of the glory. The wizard class is about being a really bright...

Brandt nodded to the others as his spell was finished. “The time has come, Semeion. Wait for the rest of us to be prepared and then speak the name when I indicate. Noon is upon us.” Brandt turned and glanced to Charis. She knew what his look meant. She stepped to Semeion’s left and took up...

That much is true. I was taking javcs at his word when the comment was made that everyone else gets in at fifth. You are correct, though. 3rd level spells and BAB +5 does mean that nobody else should be able to take this one until their 6xth level. So, we're back to wonky. Is this supposed...

Yeah, i know that much. But even a third level rogue who has +2d6 sneak attack can only have at most six skill points in any one of the following: Diplomacy, Intimidate, Knowledge (arcana), Knowledge (religion), or Move Silently. And truth be told, there are a number of those that won't help a...

Don't you mean 5th for rogues, too? Everyone has to meet at least one of the "7 ranks of one skill" prerequisite. The only way you can have 7 ranks of a skill is to be a 4th level character. Thus, nobody is eligible until 5th level, right?

Wow. If these excerpts are anything like the actual book ... make this 2 complete books in a row I've not picked up. I had hoped Complete Psi wasn't an omen. Except for CM (and I still don't allow the reserve feats) I've been disappointed since CPsi. The one thng I see this book having...

I see the longsword a ton. They are either going longsword, two-handed sword (For PA) or composite longbow (for ranged). If they go weapon finesse, I get a mix of dagger and handaxes. (Wierd, huh?) Just for the record, bows are neither one or two handed weapons. Those are melee...

Ultimate Magus from Complete Mage would be a good cantidate to mimic as well. That one doesn't allow full casting in both, it rather advances both normally but in some cases advances only the lesser of the two.

Best advice I can give you: Decide before the campaign begins what is fair game and stick to your guns. I used to run a few PbPs here at ENWorld. I'd always post a listing of books allowed. {I typically just allow a whole book if I allow it at all just to save confusion in a PbP} Innevitably...

My prior post exactly. Obviously, I concur. Fey can be inspired from RL, but in order to be truly accepted as a part of everyone's game they really need to be embraced by D&D. They need to be owned by D&D. Up until now, I've gotten the feeling that D&D throws fey a bone and rather than...

I don't know why, but this comment just struck me as hysterical. So ... blatantly true and delivered with such seriousness that it has to be funny! Back on topic, I think that if a PrC were available at 2nd level it'd probably make a better base class than PrC. After all, they are called...
