    Improving and Changing The Assassin

    I honestly think you are not really considering the idea of a PrC that could give more than 5 SA as balanced (given theme, restriction, or trade-offs) more than it is some deep differing view of balance. Technik

    Improving and Changing The Assassin

    I'm not trolling. Although I haven't posted in quite a while (and even longer with any regularity) I used to frequent this forum and enjoyed bouncing ideas for new game elements around. Technik

    A 10 level Prestige Class that gets 1d6 Sneak Attack damage every level: Unbalanced?

    I think it was just me. The example PrC was actually the Assasin PrC, which requires you to kill someone for no better reason than to become an assasin (thus, while you are gaining levels in it, you must be evil). I suggested a similar PrC years ago in these very forums, to likewise mixed...

    Improving and Changing The Assassin

    No, you maliciously dismissed my idea without explaining why you felt it was absurd. I invite you to re-read your post from a few hours ago, where you said no such thing. You may have intended to say that, but you did not. I did not intend any malice. Any attempt to make you seem absurd was...

    Improving and Changing The Assassin

    +29d6 for 3 hits? I don't understand why it isn't +45d6 Assuming a 20 rogue with the same way of getting all of his sneak attacks in he would get +30d6. Assuming we have a Rogue who chose Crippling Strike (why? Why not? Rogues like combat too), the comparison should go 20 Rogue +10d6 Sneak...

    Improving and Changing The Assassin

    I was being sarcastic. I think telling someone their idea is not balanced because: A) It hasn't been done before. and B) A 1-sided poll asking if people agree with me turns up a few responses in my favor is asinine. If you really want to be productive, why don't you explain why you feel it...

    Saying the world is round is preposterous. I'll make a poll to show you. Technik

    Improving and Changing The Assassin

    You must be right. If it hasn't been done before then it must be imbalanced. Here's a thought exercise: Why would there be a PrC that gave bonus feats faster than a fighter when that is what a fighter is all about? As a corrollary: Is Sneak Attack dice what the rogue is all about? Technik

    Improving and Changing The Assassin

    The entire point of a PrC (imo) is to specialize a character while hampering versatility. A 20 rog will have 3 more special abilties, and 40 more skill points (in potentially more varied skills) than a 10 Rog/10 Alt.Ass. If you went all Sneak Attack, you have +5d6 Sneak Attack damage and...

    Azoul, Champion of Neutrality (CR 13)

    A more conflicted soul you have never met. A former monk, a warrior who has been on every side of battle, good and evil, law and chaos; he is not easily defined. Not a mercenary for hire (although he has worked for gold); his ethics are his own. You would call him a loner at a glance, and if you...

    Improving and Changing The Assassin

    A couple years ago I posted my alt assasin on these boards. Same BAB (Rogue) Same HD (d6 Rogue) Same Saves (Ref Good, rest Poor) Same Skills (4 + Int, same list) No Spells Sneak Attack +7d6 over 10 levels (the 3 levels you don't get sneak attack damage, you get nifty assasin ability)...

    Oh, and Jester I think those are all pretty neat. Though aren't you neglecting certain schools....? :) Technik

    New Arcane Feats

    Whew, I should have the internet in my apartment soon so replies will be much faster than this near-week delay but... Ok, Im glad you qualified that statement. A 10th level caster with SF Evo and Empower spell can cast a Fireball as a 5th level spell and it will do 10d6 x 1.5 damage. A 10th...

    New Arcane Feats

    These are all more or less extensions of the idea of augment summoning. Potent Evocations Your evocations are surprisingly powerful. Prerequisite: Spell Focus: Evocation Benefit: Whenever you cast an evocation spell that uses d6 for damage, roll d8s instead. Wicked Compulsions Your...

    Assassin Non spellcasting PrC help needed?

    I made one a long time ago in these forums. He got sneak attack for 7 of the 10 levels (I think). I might try finding it later. Technik

    Cultural Paragons

    How many skill points do the pesh get? I think its a neat idea. Have you ever thought about 1-level (or 3-level) alignment paragons? Of course what would picking up one level of Chaos imply (I think I can guess...). While your Chaos Warrior prestige class is similar to this idea, it would be...

    Revised fighter feats

    I disagree. Those are essentially quite a lot of extra feats, and while most fighters will take focus, spec, and improved crit for *one* weapon, those high level abilities will make a fighter far more versatile than he is at present. Addressing the *power* level of the fighter class would...

    Revised fighter feats

    Right now a fighter is still a good dippin' class, good to take a few levels of. After having played through BG2 for the first time in years, I see the parallel they mimicked from 2e: Proficient - Proficient Specialized - Weapon Focus and Weapon Specialization (2 feats to represent 1...

    Dragon #325 has arrived

    I proposed a feat that let you stack other classes' towards your animal companion (and I had been thinking about one along the same lines for familiar). Someone said the latest Dragon had a similair feat...anyone want to spoil me? Technik

    Is thi prestige class ok, if not...what should I change?

    This post is more of a critique of your class, hopefully these suggestions will give you something more balanced to present your DM. First lets narrow the concept. As others said the potential monk gives up nothing to enter this prestige class. I have a suggestion for flavor, why not make 2...
