This class laughs at most traps. It seems too strong at low levels, while at high levels it is worthless in most dungeons. (Usually there is some reason teleportation does not work in many high level dungeons/lairs; Otherwise someone would just teleport in and kill the BBEG.) Also, sneak attack...

I want to say it's a 3rd or 4th level spell. I does what many other 0th and 1st level spells do, but much moreso. If there was a chance the shopkeep didn't have an item (like 20%, minus 1% per level)or a limited quantity of one or more items (Like can only buy 1 item/level, or only has 1 of any...

I don't think Unconsciousness or reducing hit points is quite "fair" for what this spell does. Its casting time indicates it is a difficult spell to cast in combat, but is possible. Adding unconsciousness and a hit point reduction just means that all of the defenses undead enjoy will mean...

Well, I'll throw my two bits in. Perhaps someone will find it interesting. Ltheb Silverfrond A Male Elven Wizard who appears at a glance quite young, but the lines on his face give hint to his true age, extended by the use of potent magic. (So old he has seen several dragons grow and die in his...

It never says anywhere in the text for Defending that the weapon actually loses it's enhancement bonus; it's just being applied differently. It won't change the hardness or hitpoints of the weapon, just it's bonus to hit and damage. (If it lost it's enhancement bonus, then it would lose the...

Those Equipment lines mean that if the deity does not have the standard 4 artifacts than you should consider their ECL X. Equipment does not ADD to ECL, but your Level 100 Deity won't be as strong as a level 100 deity without equipment. U_K's system can take stuff like this into account. IE If...

No changes, but with your working knowledge of ascension in it's final form, do any of the monsters need slight readjustment with their CRs/LAs? That, and did you come up with an accurate CR for the Neutronium Golem? I remember something about it's real CR being between 600 and 1000. This does...

Oh U_K and your allusions of grandeur. (Yes, allusions) Lemme guess - You have secured some sort of deal with Mongoose that means your stuff will hit the presses much faster. (IE their new presses can handle more of a load than originally expected, or some of their other authors pulled out...

U_K's got technical problems. :( So I doubt he can answer right away. It might take a week or two. I don't know off the top of my head, but it should be the sum of his levels (117) plus the vampire and Amidah template. (+80 total? I don't have access to the bestiary right now) Now, on an...

In the US, I think I could throw together a "thing that works" PC for ~$250. It would be total crap specs wise, but would work.

I think wizards has given up on epic altogether. :( On the flip side, I think I have a rather simple epic ToB idea. Its a bit complicated to explain, but "simple" in practice - For every epic Initiator level, you subtract 20, and look at what you get for having that level in the original class...

Well, assuming you don't change negative level rules, this is suicide. The best Debuff at high levels is Enervation/Energy Drain. Losing 1d4 or 2d4 levels means your caster level will be too low to cast any of those high level spells at all, rendering you little more than a commoner who cries...

"is there a die cap for simple spells?" "should simple spells only affect up to X number of targets?" "should simple spells have up to Y amount of healing in them, if at all" "should complex spells only affect up to Z amount of the battlefield?" I think warlocks give some insight as to Question...

Perhaps a class feature that can give them further bonuses while in rage? Or, if you take both ideas - They get virtual feats, ala Ranger, while raging. But only while raging. I would make any feats you give them non-standard choices. Giving a class free feat X hurts them if they could normally...

After reading many of the posts here, I started crunching some numbers and polling some of my players. Here is what we came up with: (BG Info: Our group likes gritty games, somewhat more realist games, but also wants things to be as simple as possible.) We didn't want the game just to become a...

Thanks U_K! Yea, the mechanics for that power are a pain. Thankfully they won't matter to much since the monster is unique and will probably one be used once. I did toy around with other similar mechanics, like taking the Shambling Mound's "Immunity to Electricity" and making it apply to all...

I figured as much. :) Its main ability is quite hard to word without listing every possible example. I'll throw together a stat block in a few minutes. (And I'll add it to this post) EDIT: Ok, here it is: (It's in the new-style DMG 2 format, because I find it packs more info in a smaller area)...

Hey everyone, I have a question: (Intended towards U_K, but I'd like other opinions as well) While planning a campaign, I thought of a rather "interesting" monster idea. Inspired by several similar creatures I went about to throw stats together for this thing, which I am pegging in the niche of...

I am (slowly) throwing another document together on errors. I started in the powers section; so its hard muster the energy to do it all at once. (I am at the cosmic powers right now, should have all the powers done in a week, time permitting)

I don't think theres a correct answer to this one; It depends on the kind of game run - How much weight is put on the material vs the personal. Meaning - Is having a power intrinsic to you more potent than one from an item (which is much more easily lost)? IMHO, losing an item to gain an...
