Another really good option... I'll definitely think about that. I'd been wanting to stick with a magic ability to avoid leaving the monk class... but that might be a very good option.

Something along that line... your typical Zat/Phaser-Set-To-Stun/Vulcan-Neck-Pinch type disable with minimum damage idea... same concept, different setting/implementation

Another good thought. I considered this too, but on the whole the character using it is not a spell caster... so they could throw it once, twice, maybe three times (depending on the amount spent) and then nothing. This is again a good alternative, but not exactly what I had in mind. This is...

Considered it, and I can always go with that, but I'd rather have a magic ability for two main reasons: 1.) While not necessarily bad in this case, many people hear poison and think "evil" - a magic ability might help avoid prejudice due to connotation rather than denotation - as in the "Is...

I'm already applying the merciful enhancement as I noted in the first post. Even very few first level commoners would be taken out by one point (min and max damage for a shuriken) of subdual damage... which is why I'm looking for another ability... the point is the effect, not the damage...

So what advice do Eberronian business travellers give about avoiding/recovering from "jet" (teleport? "train"?) lag?

That, upon a successful hit, causes (probably if a saving throw is failed) sleep or unconsciousness... Planned use: A merciful returning shuriken with the above ability for a good character to take out enemy guards and so on while scouting/spying/escaping without causing any lasting damage and...

In the games I'm usually playing in - as player or DM - it usually varies greatly depending on the specifics of the world... Sometimes, like you said, there are no stores, maybe something individually crafted... in other games there's anything one could ever dream about available for...

Relax! I really don't see any problem with this sort of discussion - From my perspective this isn't about overpowered/underpowered or anything like that, but merely value - somethings are very expensive, and worth every penny when they're needed, but somethings aren't neccesarily expensive...

I've just been looking through the DMG and A&E and was thinking about magic items with the best value... most utility for the least money. I put together this list of the items that I think are the best values given the price. From DMG 3.5: Ring of Feather Falling - 2,200 Ring of Sustenance...

Any idea where I could find such a 3E version? I have a campaign world I'm designing where one of the key plot lines involves the crash of an advanced spacecraft and an evil king (whose island realm has been cut off from magic and the rest of the world due to an ancient attempt to conquer the...

I've been thinking a lot about so called "powergaming" lately and having a philosophical dissonance with regards to it. On the one hand it can disrupt the game and decrease the pleasure quotient of those not participating in the power grab. On the other part it is a natural outgrowth of the...

Thanks for the reminder about the RK - I actually knew that, I just got in a hurry and was sloppy with pronouns - sorry, mea culpa. Auppenser looks good so far, but I hesitate to say anything one way or another due to the fact that I know next to nothing about (he/she/it) - a name, an...

Thanks for all the good input! I think I'll go with the Red Knight, he seems to be the best fit. On a random tangent, I just had a rather humorous thought... if his discipline were Telepathy rather than Psychokinesis, he could try playing big games of "Psimonk Psays" with his foes... :lol...

I hadn't seen that specifically, but I didn't see much that they hadn't picked up and expanded upon in Faiths and Pantheons. The more I think about it the more I begin to lean towards the Red Knight and the strategic side of things.

OK, a bit more about the character - be forewarned it's a little odd. This is an experimental character made with some new rules variants to see how they work with our homebrews before deciding whether or not to incorporate them into our standard setting. First off, it is a gestalt character -...

In response to sledged, no we are not, but that is due to group preference and may (or may not) be irrelevant to this particular question. While I can see the point of not using a magic related deity, Selune seems to be intriguing her and a potential choice. While she is related to magic, she...

Hello all, Just wondering what everyone's opinions on what the best Forgotten Realms Deity for a LG Psion would be... I would think maybe Mystra or Selune (Shar, maybe) for their mystical attachments even though FR Psions draw from their personal weave and not the Weave (or the Shadow Weave...
