Elves are fruity. They should be consumed and digested, not role-played, but they hog some of the cool prestige classes. Half-elves still have "Elven Blood" but sidestep the fruitiness, especially when they have 3 human paragon levels. It's a flavor thing, meaning it's completely and utterly...

Yes, that's what I was afraid of. I have a knack for finding a whole lot of "wow, cool!" things, then pulling them together and ending up with "this would be alot cooler if it didn't have zero positive impact on the party". Here, this is what I have so far, though I haven't had much time to...

I am charged with replacing my fun but woefully weak 5th-level character. The party encounters combat frequently, but we are owners (with escorts) of a lucrative iron mine in a somewhat untamed land, so shady business deals are also frequent. I'd like my character creation choices to reflect a...

I gamed with my room mates, one of which I was shacking up with, all three of which thought they were bisexual. And, as odd as it may seem in the context of this thread, we never bothered with mixing the RPG and the other pursuits. I think the delineating factors that separated the gaming from...

Yep, I know. And I LIKE it. It's simple enough for my tastes, and its effects on the game sound quite enjoyable. It's just too complicated for mass appeal, or else we'd have already seen it published in official d20 rules. Nice work. I'm stealing this idea, for the post-apoc games I can...

Uh, that's probably a bad idea. What you'll end up with are far more characters wielding two keen scimitars than common sense would suggest is prudent.

You shouldn't be able to outrun someone who actively has a hold of your neck. You can run, but you just end up carrying the guy who's strangling you. Running to get out of a headlock strikes me as.... just plain silly.

Why not? And what would happen if the harried opponent DID move more than your normal speed? Would you just sort of "fall" off? Also, in general, I don't like the D&D rules or your rules. I do, however, like the goal you have of defining different rules for extreme grappling situations. I...

Holy crap! That's a really terrible reason to kill things: "I need new armor" Talk about meta-gaming...

Yep, firearms make armor seem MUCH less useful to a soldier, and darn near useless to a quartermaster. An individual soldier may be able to afford an expensive set of armor for the merely marginal use it has against enemy fire, but he'll pass on the option because he'll have to march all day in...

And right about NOW is when I want a platypus familiar so badly that I know for certain it can't be a balanced level-1 familiar. After all, level-1 familiars are pimples with stat boosts, nothing more. Maybe a platypus would be a good animal companion, instead? Or a good BBEG?

For good reason, too. That would have been sick. :confused: I still like the very idea of a 15-foot-wide wall of rushing destruction, which necessarily would need a counter-balance to prevent it from being too insane. Hence, the bonus to blocking in groups. Perhaps you'd like to keep the...

You see, THIS is the kind of thing I like to see: extra-complicated house rules that are well-thougt-out and entirely implimentable in-game, but would never see publication in official sources because of their complicated nature. It looks solid. :)

Powerful, but then again, Dark Invocations are supposed to be. Too powerful? Hm, I think maybe it is, but only for one reason that comes to my mind: plowing through crowds. I understand that shoving mooks aside is the whole POINT of this invocation, and that ability should definitely be...

You're an umpteenth-level caster with uninterrupted access to a library, casting a 3rd-level spell and an 8th-level spell, then babysitting the proceedings for hours until you get tangible results. I say let it slide: it's creative, and a major investment of effort. Good call, Cabral. Nobody...

...meaning that the charge that began this situation necessarily followed the declaration of Power Attack allocation. When your readied action takes place, his decision has already been made.

(Don't mind me, I'm just picky about charts and had to do this in notepad first to read it, anyway...) Lvl Class Gained Skill ranks (Total)/Max ranks 1 Corsair Corsair Ability; Point Blank Shot 8+4 (12)/4 2 Corsair Corsair...

I'd say more like juggling break action shotguns.

Okay, so I'm joining a d20: Apocalypse campaign, and I'm actually considering playing a mutant despite the horrible, horrible penalties imposed by a +1 LA. Somehow, no matter what I do with those 8 MP, I look at the character and think of how much better it could be if it only were one level...

The US mainland is a VERY big place, as is the continent/nation of Australia, China, and Russia. One could travel a long distance, visiting ENWorld along the way, and still only be able to claim one country. That said, I haven't left the US for long enough that I felt it necessary to find...
