    Ancient Kingdoms: Mesopotamia

    Thanks everyone. I remember seeing it at GenCon a couple years ago, and I still kick myself for not buying it.

    Ancient Kingdoms: Mesopotamia

    Is this product worth picking up? I'm working on a new campaign setting that is very much influenced by the cultures and beliefs of the ancient Middle East.

    The VCH list (Very Common Houserules)

    Improved Initiative can be taken more than once. Attacks of Opportunity have a -4 penalty attached to them. Metamagic feats can be applied on the fly by using metamagic "slots" based on level and primary casting ability. Classes that only get 2 Skill Points/level get 4, instead. No penalties...

    The shift in gaming as we get older

    What Ari said rings completely true for me as well. My games have always involved the long, interwoven campaign arcs with individual sessions ranging from all roleplay to near-"300" death-fests. A player even described one of my story lines as "frustratingly Byzantine", which I took as a...

    D&D 3.x ToB: Bo9S - Nifft's Compendium

    Is there a link to that Falling Star school somewhere? I've been scouring the WotC boards and can't find it.

    Like 300? Please read this.

    I read it years ago, and by the end, when the Spartans knew the last battle was coming and they were trading their weapons and shields to each other as a means of honoring their comrades, I was ready to sign up to fight Persians myself!

    BattleStar Galactica:Season 3.5--3/18/07--Arc 18(19)

    I've heard that next season won't even start until January. That will drive me unsane.

    New Project: Avatar for Pen and Paper.

    If you were interested in using a different d20 ruleset all together, IMO the easiest way to accomplish this would be to use the rules from Mutants and Masterminds. Combine Martial Artist with Elemental Control, and it would be ridiculously easy to make a "bender" sort of character. The rules...

    Dragon #354

    I didn't get last month's, either. Fortunately, I managed to find it in a book store. This problem got so bad for a couple of years that Dragon's customer service actually told me they would no longer replace my non-delivered issues and that it was my problem, and not theirs. So, I just hope...

    D&D 3.x ToB: Bo9S - Nifft's Compendium

    Undoubtedly, Beelzebub has a devil put aside JUST FOR YOU! My eyes still bleed from that pun. I bow to your superior pun fu.

    My take on an Assassin Base Class

    Playtest away! Tweak where tweaking is needed! And let me know how it goes!

    My take on an Assassin Base Class

    Well, I've arrived at what I think is an interesting and playable 20 level standard class Assassin. If it appeals to you, feel free to use it or tweak it any way you want for your campaign. Thanks to everyone who offered advice and tips!

    Ever had a player in your group throw a tantrum or worse? Most uncomfortable moment?

    No real tantrums, but I lost a player due to 3.x's Attacks of Opportunity. He got so angry during a game one night after his character had been hacked up badly while trying to run through a large group of enemy fighters that he yelled, "What the f*&)'s the problem with characters just having...

    My take on an Assassin Base Class

    Ahh... that makes sense then. So, by making the changes suggested on this thread, in your opinion, is it balanced for play?

    Need an alternative assassin-type

    Try this one. I don't know who created it, but I've used elements from it for my assassin base class.

    Cleaver?

    I had a player in my campaign who was the ship's cook (he was also a Mage, from the Birthright 3e rules) who used a cleaver. It was one of the big jobbies, so we decided it was 1d6, Crit 19-20/x2

    My take on an Assassin Base Class

    I like this idea. Can you offer some more detail on it? Also, why would Sudden Attack be a better choice than Sneak Attack?

    My take on an Assassin Base Class

    Good suggestions, everyone. I'll make more changes tomorrow, based on your input. My sleepy meds are kicking in, and who knows what this thing might turn into if I keep working tonight. But one question to all; By making these suggested changes, would you feel this class is a viable choice...

    My take on an Assassin Base Class

    The good will and reflex saves came from the original version of the non-spell casting variant PrC. Do you think it should be removed to increase the chance for balancing the class?
