True, but think of 30 ft. as the absolute range rather than the average range. The average range could very well be 10 ft. (or even 5 ft.), extending the maximum to 30 ft. means your double could not end the spell with a 5 ft. step (which he could rather easily if you were 10 ft. away). Technik

Paint You in a Corner Enchantment (Mind-Affecting) [Compulsion] Level: Sor/Wiz 2 Components: V, S, F Casting Time: 1 standard action Target: 1 creature/3 levels (Max. 3) Duration: 1 min./level Saving Throw: Will negates Spell Resistance: Yes This spell convinces its subject(s) that they have...

Of course, this is that the assumption is a Sor/Wiz (for which it is a second level spell). It seems far more usable/likely that our caster is a bard, who might not mind being at the front of a melee. It is also only a 1st level bard spell, and a very nice one at that. I would oppose making it a...

This spell seems on the weak side. Disguise Self a first level wizard spell lets you do essentially the same thing, without the small bit of reconnaisance (you have to disguise yourself without knowing *what* to disguise yourself as). I would lower it to a 3rd level spell, and perhaps increase...

I think the duration is too long. If this were a character in my campaign I would accuse him of trying to negate the effect of point-buying a low strength on a spellcaster with a mere 1st level spell. Of course, at higher levels things like bag of holdings, heward's handy haversacks, and...

Oops, I meant to make it dismissable. Although if you could switch between gas and corporeal states, that would make it pretty powerful... Turn into a gas, maneuver to where you want to be, turn corporeal, cast a spell, reform into a gas. Of course the character who designed this is a sorcerer...

Greater Gaseous Form Transmutation Level: Sor/Wiz 6 Duration: 10 min./level This spell is as Gaseous form except for a few key differences: The flight speed is 30, the damage reduction is 10/-, and you don't just become misty or translucent. When you cast the spell you choose gas color...

Good to be back. I'm out of the military (finally) and attending college so I definitely have some time on my hands. I'm also relocated to the West Suburbs of Chicago (Glen Ellyn specifically) although I can't for the life of me remember where you are located :( Anyway, I came up with an...

Its long been said that the generalist is stronger than the specialist, your proposed changes seem to make that more true. While it would be, perhaps, more fun to play such a confined mage, I don't think you would get many volunteers, the bennies hardly justify the losses. A generalist casts a...

Are you trying to make the skill less abstract or provide characters with more knowledge-bang for their skill buck? In the first case, the entire game is abstract so I wouldn't change something so minor, in the second you could assign players bonus skill points that can be only spent on Craft...

Who are you appealing to with feinting? Power attacking characters at low levels, at higher levels its far better to get a full-round attack (usually), rogues won't like it as much, and sword and shield types tend to go with more conservative methods similair to 2-handers, meaning take their...

I like it, but some socerors could use it to become far more versatile than the class (designers?) intends (esp taking it post-10th level, highest spell level is 5, so you get 4 spell levels, that could be 3 new spells (2nd and 2 1st)). Technik

It certainly becomes an even greater boon to level 1 characters, but it still doesn't seem like characters created at level 6 or higher will take it, which is pretty much the problem the "official" toughness has... I prefer the MotW gradually better toughnesses or the one that simply gives +1...

Dang, the party is brought low. Despite the usual large number of characters, losing Lester and Orbius was pretty huge, though the group didn't act like it (?). Too bad for Horbin the MFKNG Holy. There was one inconsistency where they are talking about how they teleported all around one of the...

Wow, glad to see you've been keeping up Jester. I've been away from the scene for almost a year but I should have the internet again in a few weeks - I'm catching up on all your story hours. Thanks again for sharing your tales. Technik

Some prcs are intuitive and you wouldn't want to restrict someone from going for because its just a common archtype or a natural progression for a character to take. The point of this post is to try and make a couple advanced classes (meaning there isn't anything "prestigous" about these) that...

After a long hiatus I come back with much to read! Your story hour grows more and more exciting Jester - seems like they took on the whole MM worth of demons. How do you work cohorts as far as finding them - is it generally a spontaneous situation or case-by-case you work out a good situation...

You enjoyed the movie. Fair enough. I didn't. The reason isn't because I'm a brainwashed zombie, and is ironically for the very reason you say I didn't like it. Too much hollywood cheese and predictability. I *knew* as soon as we started seeing them get so much as a little movie time (and imo...

Rationalization I suppose, although sentinels are never seen to have that capacity. As fast as they were getting taken down in this movie, it seems they could have shot them up and chased down any trying to broadcast "we found a ship". Either interpretation seems ok, my point was sentinels...
