I think it's a bad idea in general. While it's not necessarily a given, it's well within the expectations of any group or designer, that a spellcaster with an item creation feat may be making items for other members of the party. No variant (save that in the ELH for Epic level items) allowing...

Bleet. I mean... Done. ^_^

Looks pretty interesting.. I like some of the new costs and components (abstaining from harming another for 8 hours to cast a spell is just nifty). That said, I do have some fears that in time, continued products that expand the rules may cause a sort of snowballing effect ala later editions of...

It goes without saying that there are a lot of things we do not know. It also goes without saying that there have been many misinterpretations of the past. However, where exactly does this take us? Honestly, it seems to be little more than a very old brand of intellectual cynicism sparked...

Well... a Xill cannot fade with a character unless it's helpless or willing, and a pinned creature technically isn't helpless. And an Archon indeed cannot, by the letter (and really spirit) of the rules, save the halfling. Archon Teleport comes down to "Me and Mine Pretty Shinies... like...

If a Rogue gets to level 2 and then switches over to a Poor Reflex class, he's not going to really get much joy out of the Evasion. If he switches to another good Reflex class, then he's probably going to suffer awhile in the BAB category as well as some others. While I have seen a lot of...

I liked all the twists except the last one... if I was a player and I had been geared up to kill the dragon, I'd be all DOH when I didn't get the chance to do so. Even if it's the dragon is planning to have the players do other amazing and nifty things, the fact that you present him as an...

Recommendations 1- Gather Information repeatedly. 2- Try to find tracks in the North. 3- Tell your DM. Don't just let people walk away from this frustrated. Find out what he wants to do and let him know that not helping risks all his efforts thus far. 4- As mentioned before, insults bad. 5-...

To sum it up in a few words: Hide is as picky as your DM wishes. If he's into realism, you can't just walk along at 10 ft per round in the darkness to evade sight. If he's into roleplaying, you may have to do more than just say "I hide... I rolled a 38." Whatever he is, you'll do best...

I dislike the idea of being perfectly fit and going "HURK!" with no apparent condition beyond being 86. At least, being sick for a few months or developing some problem would allow a little preparation period- but old, powerful druids must either be really enlightened about their time to die or...

Quacken Spell (feat, druid) You excel at promoting druidic fear tactics that keep both bandits and kings in line while walking near ponds or eating bread near still water. Benefit: You may cast spells while wildshaped into a duck / other kind of fowl.

First I build what I want my campaign to be. Epic? Morality Play? Standard DND Playground? Then, I look at what I'm making, and design a backdrop that will help foster that feeling in the world. Epic- Think big, sweeping scenery... large and powerful nations not so muddled in bureaucracy as...

Huh.. that's tricky. I'd almost wager that a multiple personality could be an Extraordinary quality of a person, a core aspect to a "Multiple Personalities" template. Set the trigger to change to a new personality, give a Level Adjustment modifier to the Multiple Personality quality, and...

I think that 3 is the lowest a player character can have. I play a 7 Charisma Dwarf, and while everyone pushes upon me the onus of being Smelly and Ugly, I prefer to simply annoy and truly insult pretty much every NPC without my character intending to do so. I've called a guy on his ugly...

St. Cuthbert of the Cudgel!

A dead villain with a broken sword is better than a dead hero with an enemy walking the other way with an intact sword.

Just at a glance, comparing it to Tieflings or Aasimar, I'd say it's a very powerful +1, or a fine +2, even with the pruning. I say this, because while they may be on par with Aasimar in their abilities, it seems that just about everything they can do is specifically designed around Fighter...

I was under the impression that being submerged completely in acid deals 20d6 per round... unless that's only Lava. Either way, any hazard that deals 1 damage with complete submersion and hence keeps someone alive for rounds and rounds reflects the weakness of the substance more than anything...

The Leveling Magic Weapons / Armor from Dragon magazine worked well in my campaign. It allowed me to introduce +1 weapons that would become better if experience was invested in them. Players were able to get a feel for a weapon's potential based on how they looked... you could be sure that a...

First, I'm must really be bored this morning to keep on this thread... Second, absolutely not. If someone's hit in the eyes, they should be blinded if not killed. However, simply relying on AC as a gauge of getting the opportunity to hit the eyes is insufficient (even with penalties), as it...
