  1. Knight-of-Roses

    Bastard Sword, Mighty Bows et al.

    My comments and thoughts: 1) So? Weapon finesse violates the rule that Str adds to attack in melee, etc. It is not a big deal. I have never had anyone complain that the missile weapon rules were too complex because of mighty bows. 2) Mighty crossbows? What a great idea. I'll be back with...

    Adult: GUCK development forum IV

    Great work as always, Wrayven. Thanks for taking the time to do so. However, I do have some comments and suggestions: Restore Virginity Saving Throw: Will partial I assume the above is a formatting error . . . Irnar's Polaroidic Pregnancy I think this spell should cause a Stregth and...
  3. Knight-of-Roses

    The veteran (a prestige class inspired by a boring boxing match, revised 10/3-03)

    My suggestions. Add to prereq: Profession (soldier) 4 ranks. Raise the HD to d12, because, well, it really fits them. I think trepanier is right in that the Out of Harm's Way should be staged up over several levels. I would got farther and have it start at 25% at 4th. But I do not think it...

    Baneful weapon ability...

    Never a +4 bonus, the extra damage is not worth that much. If you just take the raw +4 bonus you get that added to your damage and to your chance to hit. Maybe a +2. But a good idea, I have something similar in my campaign.

    Non-Raging Barbarian/Berserker as Prestige Class

    Well, the D&D barbarian class does represent a particular type of warrior that comes from a less civilized culture. That is not to say that all warrior-types from barbaric cultures should be of the barbarian class. The celts, the norse, some other tribes worldwide could fall into the 'rage...

    Arcane spellcasters (and spell lists) for a low-magic world

    It is a styliztic reason, in that magic is so difficult that withoput aid (i.e. the suggested True Wizard/Sorcerer PrC) it is simply impossible to focus enough on it. In this case, represented by the limitation on the levels you can take in Sorcerer/Wizard.

    Arcane spellcasters (and spell lists) for a low-magic world

    I would just say that you canot have more than half your levels (rounded up) in Sorcerer or Wizard. That way arcane spell casters have to multiclass, that weakens their magic abilitites but not their overall effictiveness. If you went that route, I would suggest having a 'True Wizard' and...

    A couple new weapon abilities...

    Like the concept. I think I would also add that they can never critical against outsiders of the same alignment as the weapons (blessed weapon never critical good outsiders, defiled weapons never critical evil ones). Otherwise, I think they should work. I am worried that they might be...

    PrC: Arcane Valet (extended Pirate edition)

    bret, In my opinion it is a fair and balanced PrC. The only ideas floating around that I have at the moment are: Silent or Still Spell as an additional feat requirement, as they should be able to use their magic with utmost subtly. Spellcraft, 4+ ranks, to represent mastery of practical...

    New Races: Half-Nymph, Half-Nixie, and Half-Pixie

    My worries would more be that it is a bit too weak. Taking a hit on both Str and Con is pretty rough. Good call, Cheiromancer. Definately make the gaze equivalent of daze. I would not have caught that except in play . . . Give them +2 racial bonus to Hide and Survival checks in forests...

    PrC: Arcane Valet (extended Pirate edition)

    Well, as this is designed as a supporting role PrC, of course it is going to seem more 'NPC'-like as a class. Usually PCs are the heroes, not the hero's assistant. I like the concept a lot. You want to emphasize the Arcane part of them more, yes? I would suggest giving them bonus feats of...

    The Ataraxian Juggernaut (PrC)

    Interesting class. But a few comments: If ever a class concept demanded a D12 HD, this class is it. I think I would add Endurance and Great Fortitude or Iron Will to their Feats prerequisites. Maybe 4+ ranks in Jump and Swim as well to demonstrate physical fitness? Armored Movement, too...

    Comments on this new "Half Orc" race

    It looks fairly balanced. I see no game balance problems with the way you have structured it. If it was me, I would make the following changes: Drop the bonus to Spot (or reduce it to +1). Add a +2 racial bonus to Intimidate checks. Make it a +10% bonus to stabalization checks. Clarify that...

    In Development: Spellcaster multiclassing fix

    It seems to me that this should work, but I would agree that their is little reason to have X be anything other than 2. So a 19th level fighter takes 1 level of Wizard and now casts as if he was a 2nd level Wizard. Gasp! How unbalancing. I do not see this as a problem. Take the reverse...

    Adult: GUCK development forum IV

    Great work (as usual) VVrayven. I'll toss in my comments here as well. Animal Magnetism, does this increase/allow interspecies conception? If not, should there be a higher level version ("Interspecies Romance"?) that does allow weird crossbreeding? Induce Orgasm, I think this would fit...

    Cheiromancer's Classes

    Interesting if very focused class. I cannot see a wide application for it but could be useful in a Plane-hopping campaign. Comments: Requirements: Why those feats? Alertness I can see. Combat reflexes, I could also see. But why Power Attack and Cleave? Shouldn't they also need some ranks...

    The damascus uber-weapon

    I would allow such a blended weapon, but would impose a penalty on the damage inflicted by such a mixed weapon (say by one die size) to reflect its lack of purity when overcoming DR (and only in that case). This would make such a weapon flexible but also expensive and not as powerful as having...

    New Core Class - Spirit Warrior

    But with better skills and saves then a fighter as well as keeping the Fighter BAB. I also think you are underestimating the utility of wild-shape especially if you don't need to worry about spellcasting. Maybe move the shape-shift (large) down to 7th level? That would give them a major...

    New Core Class - Spirit Warrior

    Well, since you asked. I think I would be more comfortable giving them D8 HD with 4 + Int skills per level and two good saves. What about giving them good Fort and Ref saves to reflect their animal nature, and poor Will saves. How animal aspected do you want them to be? If they become more...

    New Core Class - Spirit Warrior

    Interesting. On first review, I would suggest: Move the first use of shape-shifting to at least 2nd lvl to avoid people taking one level in this class just for this ability. Give them proficiency only in light armor (after all, if they are shifting all the time, they won't want to wear...
