Shoulda read the book. We take everything potentially seriously here. As for the armor bonus thing.....Sure, I suppose. That works pretty well. Especially since that also doesn't help against grappling opponents ;)

Complication usually breeds confusion. The best power-gamers know this and write their own house-rules to purposely confuscate their over-powering. My immediate reaction is to direct your DM to the much simpler class of the same name in FRCS. Of specific concern: Total spells known exceeds...

Bulletproof Nudity [General] Prereqs: BAB +6, Cha 18+, Sex Appeal, Body to Die For Benefit: You may add your Cha bonus to your AC when not wearing armour. If you are actually nude (no clothing, magical piercings, rings, anklets, belts, cloaks, or hats), you add double your Cha bonus to AC...

Well, by the time a Sorceress acquires that high of a BAB it might not matter too much. Also, this denies you the use of any worn magical item (I would require ABSOLUTE nudity, so no piercings aside from maybe ears) for the full benefit.

Unless the extra points can be "held." Personally, I would let them spend the points on a new skill as long as they spend points from training on the skill at the same time. ("Wow, this is so much more simple than I thought it'd be.")

Bulletproof Nudity [General] Prereqs: BAB +6, Cha 18+, Sex Appeal, Body to Die For Benefit: You may add your Cha bonus to your AC when not wearing armour. If you are actually nude (no clothing), you add double your Cha bonus to AC instead and your opponents suffer a 25% miss chance on attacks...

BUMP!

I really always disliked the idea of a Fighter JUST being a fighter. In one campaign I helped someone on, we made gave the Fighter x4 skill points and opened access to the Diplomacy, Bluff, Sense Motive, and Intimidate skills. We also removed every other feat so that they only gained extra...

I'd really like to play in this one at some point. ;) The rules look really nice, and I would run a campaign, except that I'm not very good. I'm just better at playing, unfortunately.

I stand corrected. It was still a major step, given the traditions. That he killed three men in live duels using wooden swords is also....impressive, and proves that you don't even need metal at all to be quite successful.

I'll take over here since this is actually more my thing. Yes, it's largely as you described, except for a few points. There are only two times that I know of where a katana is NOT used in two hands. First is during an Iaijutsu duel. Because this is essentially a quick-draw with swords, the...

Actually, no, they're not necessarily. Iaijutsu is all about reaction time. It requires STRENGTH to get the weapon moving quickly, and perception to see how your opponent is moving. Samurai DID NOT DODGE AROUND EACH OTHER. And they certainly didn't block one another's strikes. It was a...

Yes, very true. Now, go and pick up an 8 foot long metal pipe and do the same thing. Not so simple, is it? To make ten discreet attacks with something like that in even a full 12 seconds might be possible, but it sure as hell isn't gonna be easy, and going extremely slowly followed by going...

What are those details, then? I'd rather use a single weapon like a rapier. Light, fast, typically punches through heavier armor on a good hit, it would probably go through a much thinner shield with no problems at all. Also, the greatsword came about to specifically defeat the heavily...

Another reason to not replace all the dual-wield related feats is in ELH. The crown of the tree, "Perfect Two-Weapon Fighting" allows two full sets of attacks at 24th level (Not sure of the prerequisites, but I do know it requires all the other feats published so far except for Twin Sword Style.)

You didn't ask me to be logical, you asked me to help with a rules problem! :D My solution was mainly a balance point. Essentially what I was saying was "You can't have an effective caster level higher than twice your ACTUAL caster level through taking other classes." This helps avoid the...

Personally, from a logical perspective I strongly dislike variable initiative over cyclic initiative for a six second round. For example: 20th level Fighter, field plate (No Dex bonus), wielding great-sword Round 1: Rolls initiative 1, takes FA option. Five smacks Round 2: Wins initiative...

Ehh....I'm not too sure. Remember that what's good for the goose is good for the gander. Although I might limit this stacking to the number of levels in your highest caster class so that a 6/3 Fighter/Wizard casts spells as sixth level, as would a 9/3 Fighter/Wizard.

Getting off topic, but the short answer is: It can be, yes. However, it's got its advantages. One thing is that if you enforce a one-post-per day rate, things can keep up at only slightly slower than the normal campaign pacing. The other way to do it is via online chat like IRC. Let me know...

That's fine. I was just suggesting that upstanding pillars of the community who USED to be adventurers might show somewhat more stability over time than guys who don't get out of the business of risking their souls every few weeks or months. Awwww........... :(
