Posing the question to one of my players, here's what I got. :)

I'm the DM of said group, and I still don't understand it. I'll have to remember to ask them next time we game. I remember thinking "Ooookkkkaayyyy..." when they let him go, but I remained impartial. It was wierd that neither of the other two players asked them why they were letting him go...

Why is it hideously broken?

:D I'm still laughing about that one.

:( I'm sorry for his family. He will be missed.

Aw, come on man, don't overanalyze. There's some humor here, but seriously, I'm just following up your comment in the healer thread. Over there, you said you'd post more in depth about the warlock, but that was not the appropriate place. So here is the appropriate place. Go nuts. What point did...

:) Actually, I said my piece in the Healer thread...I suppose I could repost it here. Mostly I just started this thread so Felon could delve deeper into his position--otherwise known as "digging a hole." :p

No. Rebuttal? :p

I agree. Let's start one. :)

I don't agree. The warlock actually gains more invocations than the fighter does bonus feats over the same 20 level progression, not to mention that the warlock also gains the use of any spell trigger or spell completion item he can get his hands on (staff of fire, anyone?). Thus, the warlock...

Frost & Fur is great on the cultural details and horrid on the game mechanics. The classes, spells and feats are, on the whole, poorly designed. I don't use any of them, and I'm bummed I spent 30 bucks on the book. A $12 PDF with just the cultural stuff on the Norse, Slavs and Inuit would have...

Are you kidding? The Barbarian/Bard (i.e., the Norse Skald) is a wicked cool character idea! As for the OP, let the dice fall where they may. My design ensures appropriate challenges for the party's power level, as roughly gauged by CR, and not the specific mix of classes. Watching how the...

Side note: This criticism of the warlock holds no water with me. "I like the ___________, but sometimes, you get sick of _____, _____, _____." I like the rogue, but sometimes you get sick of sneak sneak sneak. I like the fighter, but sometimes you get sick of hack hack slash. Etc. etc...

I like the idea of it as an alternative to the bard. I'm not sold on its overall power level or the nebulous "fun factor," but I'm willing to let someone give it a shot before I start modifying things. If I did make a modification, I'd probably give it a d10 HD and a full BAB progression. Why...

AD&D 2nd Edition Historical Reference: Vikings Campaign Sourcebook AD&D 2nd Edition Historical Reference: Celts Campaign Sourcebook AD&D 2nd Edition Legends & Lore I just finished running a group through Land Beyond the Magic Mirror. Were my players ever to journey to my Arabian land, I'd pull...

Any level is appropriate, with the caveat that lower level characters and newer players should be given fair warning, either through contextual clues, admonitions from NPCs, or out-of-character advice from the DM and other players. For example, I once ran a dungeon adventure for a 2nd-level...

A+ for you. That's freaking fantastic!

There are two variants from Unearthed Arcana which would help to mitigate this issue---armor as damage reduction, and wound points/vitality points. Combined with vigor and empathic transfer, lack of healing shouldn't be a deal breaker. Fights will still be tricky, and combat will still be...

That would have to be the spellwarped penguin swarm I designed some months back. Nearly killed the party bard because they just couldn't take a swarm of angry penguins seriously. :p

If you were going to design from scratch a homebrew setting with a heavy emphasis on psionics, what would you include from a world design perspective (classes, races, monsters, magic systems, religions, geography, variant rules)? What would you omit? Would it be a D&D/d20 game, or something...
