To me, THIS is the sort of thing that makes D&D so much fun! I'm going to think long and hard about this one, Daniel. [Edit] I've had some prelimanary thoughts. Range: Touch. Something as dramatic as freeing a mindslave from his evil domination by knocking him into a coma with concentrated...

This line is redundant, I think. This spell can be excessively powerful. No matter how awe-insiring your Will save is, you are still duped into believing that your gear is too heavy? That brings even an epic-level rogue down in power to your lowly 7th-level wizard casting this spell, which...

If these levels stack with sorcerer levels, then woe to they who face a 20th-level eldritch sorcerer! The intent, as I understand it, is to infuse a potentially very physical race with a measure of innate magical ability, not to create an uber-sorcerer. Non-stacking abilities would work very...

Usually you'll just specialize in one weapon, anyway, so limiting the options for weapons Brutal Throw applies to doesn't actually balance anything. Besides, any idea with the words "limiting the options" in it should be scrutinized carefully before using in a role playing game. That said, I...

That's how sorcerers work, per RAW. They don't train for it, they don't study for it, and they don't choose it. It happens, and they use it. Feel free to tweak the system, but I don't actually understand what it is you're asking. The abilities you describe sound like "gestalt sorcerer"...

All of these options sound overpriced.

I must have been thinking of Two-Weapon Pounce. Dual Strike is... well, it just plain sucks.

I am intrigued by yours ideas and would like to subscribe to your newsletter.

In http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=183646 I asked for information to help me build a fun to play archer to start at 5th level. I did things somewhat backward, deciding upon a fighter 2/ rogue 3 with a crossbow before rolling my stats. The advantage of such a build would be that...

"Other solutions", yes! That's what I'm talking about here. There's no need to engage in truly counter-intuitive activities when an entirely different approach will be faster and more effective, anyway. There's more fun to be had in exercising the full capabilities of a well-prepared...

That is a really cool, though mildly disturbing, mental image. And yeah, it's not the easiest tactic to use, so I wouldn't penalize it any more than common sense would suggest is absolutely necessary.

With all due respect, where did he get an adamantine greataxe or whatever? You can avoid alot of materials/magic item issues if you don't assume that anyone can buy anything they want for the right price. In that situation, I'd warn him ahead of time "okay, you might be a half-orc barbarian...

I'm a heavy-handed, railroading DM. When someone says "I'm going to chop down that door with my greatsword", I stop them and say "okay, even your Int 8 fighter knows that this is a bad idea. Proceed?" or "as a dwarven Runeforge with 8 ranks in Craft(Metal), you know there is about a 50/50...

Holy crap, that could be so very amusing!

At least they're attacking. I can't even get mine to glare Autumn!

...but then you are restricted, for all practical purposes, to having only 1 wizard level. Restrictions are kinda bad.

You see, I used to fancy myself an aerospace engineer, so unless magic is applied, I have a pretty good idea of how this should NOT be able to fly. Telling me it flies "just because" and in any old way it needs to in order to be convenient... makes me cringe. Old habits die hard, what can I...

Okay, here's my overly complicated set of rules for boomerangs: Boomerang 1d6 x2 bludgeoning Range: 50ft A boomerang can be thrown in either of two ways: straight, as a club might be thrown; or, if the user is proficient, with the correct technique to allow it to return. A boomerang thrown...

The trouble with that version, HeavenShallBurn, is that it does not in any way increase the "steadyness" of your shot. You either miss, hit for a bit of damage, or somehow manage to really tear your target up. The odds of doing any one of these things don't change. The mechanic that matches...
