Kind of an aside; when it comes to scrolls, that feat is best used for spells that are useful, but you don't want to prepare them daily (or ever) but would be nice to whip out when the situation calls for it. For instance, See Invisibility. Not something you would want to prepare every day...

I don't know how this compares to iterative attacks, but maybe you could base all iterative attacks off of a single die roll. Figure out the highest attack first, confirm hit, subtract five, confirm hit, subtract five, etc. A natural 20 would be a crit on the first hit only, and just be...

Ah, thanks, it would be appreciated. =] Much appreciated.

I looked at the previews for that, and it looks interesting. How do you think the spellweaver and the and the wizard compare? Because if they are roughly the same, I might just use a tweaked Spellweaver for psionics instead of the Psychic's Handbook. I kind of like the idea of psionics using...

Thanks for the reply. The Sorcerer solution is certainly balanced. However I am running Dark Sun, which means that most everybody is going to have limited psychic power, and I would rather not nitpick spell choices for not being "psionic" enough. Psionicists would boil down to a Sorcerer with...

One of my favorite products from Green Ronin was the Complete Psychic's handbook. I have never been completely satisfied with 3rd edition psionics- it just doesn't feel right. Psychic powers should feel like the next step in the evolution of mankind, not like a new and improved magic system...

Halflings fill the role of the "cunning" little people, the sly ones, the fast ones, and the plain old agrarian ones. Gnomes are the "magical" little people, the pranksters, the sages, the peaceful, forest dwelling magical folk. I personally enjoy gnomes a lot, so If I were playing in a game...

I have an opinion too! :) -Kender vs. Halflings: I think there are some pretty significant differences... the resistances to fear, their taunting ability, racial weapon (hoopak!). When it comes to attitude, the kleptomania of kender is set to 10, where it's probably a 6 or 7 on traditional...

Libra is a spell from Final Fantasy which pretty much does what is described above... identifies monsters and their weaknesses. And I would also agree with you, knowledge skills do this fairly well...

Nice backhand.

No, actually. We just wisely ignore alignment at the table, and let everyone have their own ideas about it. When we have had disagreements, the result has always been to ignore it and get on with the game.

In my experience, it really doesn't do a whole lot of good to discuss alignment ahead of time with your DM. Reason being, even after the discussions, everyone still has their own ideas about alignment, and someone is going to disagree with the DM's definitions, and they are going to cross their...

Ok, just to clarify I am not a long time fan of spelljammer, and only recently bought the PDF from RPGnow. I thought I would jot down some of my thoughts on a conversion... -Ship Combat as a Skill Challenge? Now I like the idea of the party working together to run their very own ship...

I am still waiting for the picture of the underpants. Anywhoozle, I am playing a half-elven paladin taking the multiclassing feats into cleric, and I have to say that the extra flexibility is quite tangible, and I have yet to feel that I am "behind" the other players. I wouldn't discount the...

Not really. It was something that has been bothering me, and some other folks. My point is, just because it's fluff and not crunch doesn't automatically make it irrelevant. Besides, it is a nice change of pace to the sorts of questions he usually answers. If I were going to guess the...

Who is to say that this question isn't important? D&D is as much about imagination as it is about rules. Anyway, a lot of questions the sage answers could be figured out by players on their own. This one couldn't. Its a contradiction with no way of reading the intent of the designer.

How about this... The cleric commands the otherwise immobilized person to move three squares. His body is seized by energy, making him get up and move like a marionette, after which the energy relinquishes itself and the body drops to the ground in a heap. I know charms generally effect the...

Or perhaps you flourish your cloak, pose as though you are aiming at someone else, and at the moment of recognition you fire the crossbow (hidden by your cloak) and fire through it.

It sounds like you may have forgotten that you can take two move actions (plus a minor action) in a turn, and/or that Run is a move action. A character with the same speed would be able to follow, but unable to attack. Strictly by the rules, nothing stops this from going on endlessly, but a DM...
