    Light/Darkness at any level?

    In the PHB: For Light - 3, 0, 3, 1, 0, 0, 7, 8, For Dark - 2 and 3 only, as far as I can tell Looking at the spell compendium: Light - 4, 1, 4/3, 1, 6/5, 1, 2, 9, 1, 7, 2, 3, 6, 4, 3, 6 Dark - 4, 3, 5, 1, 2 I'm sure if you look in more splatbooks you can find enough to round out all the...

    Pathfinder 1E Caster/Martial disparity better now that PF has been out a while?

    Gilbetron On a serious, thread-relevant note, they did a lot to address the power issues for the full-martial classes. They made excellent fixes for barbarian, paladin, rogue and monk. Bard too, but in different ways. They toned down the druid, cleric and even wizard - while boosting ALL of the...

    Can I get your opinion on the Race I created

    Your fluff does nothing for me, so I'll focus on the actual stats. Why +1s? Why not +2s? They are going to SLAMMED by spells. Usually its a +2 against X type spells, you gave them a -2 on EVERYTHING. A reflex save to avoid a fireball, -2. A enchantment to avoid stabbing themselves in the face...

    D&D 5E (2014) Reversible Spells

    This all works perfectly fine IMHO. But it will rely greatly on how many spells the caster learns/knows, how many per day and how they are cast (meaning the refresh rates if any). If they know MANY spells then there is reason to have cure light/inflict light to be different spells. If they know...

    Minimum damage rule

    Actually there IS a rule for that. (Check the SRD via the link provided above.) It is known as "apply all penalties" and if the result is 0 bump it up to 1. Your way requires doing two different steps for something that doesn't need it. Why are you doing 1 - 1 = 0 (bumped to 1) plus 1? Why not...

    D&D 5E (2014) Reversible Spells

    Put me down as a strong 'perhaps' as it entirely depends on how spell casting works in 5e. I find that most of the time in 3e having reversible spells would make all the sense in the world. But 5e is a different beast and so far works differently. Having an at-will or rechargeable form of...

    Gestalt and Monster Class Question

    I missed that the savage species part the first time, thanks. As far as that goes though, it is still clearly a race. But it is a race you can buy into. It is a race that you grow in levels, it doesn't work with multiclassing and shouldn't really work with gestalt. Gestalt is supposed to work...

    Gestalt and Monster Class Question

    Astral deva is a race right? Racial HD, as far as I know, aren't class levels and do not get applied the same way as class levels. http://www.d20srd.org/srd/variant/classes/gestaltCharacters.htm The first line is "characters essentially take two classes at every level". (Note: "Classes", not...

    Minimum damage rule

    Put another way: 1+1-1=1 (which is coincidentally the minimum) It isn't 1-1=1 then +1 (to equal 2). The crit; the rule says you roll twice but almost any game I've ever seen you don't. So assuming min damage: 1st roll: 1+1-1=1 2nd roll: 1+1-1=1 Total: 1+1 = 2 Would be the same damage if they...

    D&D 5E (2014) New L&L for 22/1/13 D&D Next goals, part 3

    A. Did WotC MAKE AD&D, B/X or OD&D? No. B. Does WotC make 4e? Yes. C. Does WotC make Magic (The Gathering)? Yes. D. In MtG does the card specify "target creature" or what not? Yes. E. In MtG does that mean that it targets anything else in the room/battlefield? (Including equipped...

    Pathfinder 1E Pathfinder Dragonborn

    Pathfinder only? Maybe not, I don't have all the Bestiaries yet. Assuming you count 3.5 material. Yes. For 3.5 though - Draconians, Lizardfolk (isn't dragonborn but is similar - also in PF) and wasn't there a dragonborn already in some 3.5 splatbook somewhere? (I thought Dragon Magic but...

    Pathfinder 1E Kingmaker Campaign now on YouTube

    Bit of a thread necro, but how many of these are there? I'm curious if there are more than 6.. as the last one's date is 5/17/11 it seems like there could be a bunch more. Also, if there isn't, why is it all kingmaker games seem to start really well and die after like 5-6 sessions? At least the...

    D&D 5E (2014) Fixing the Fighter

    First, I just want to say I know there is a full page between the post I'm responding to and the reply itself. To that end, if any of this has been covered I apologize but I have limited time to cover what I want to cover. First, I just wanted to say that if any of your post is sarcasm then...

    D&D 5E (2014) Fixing the Fighter

    Wow this thread didn't just grow legs, arms, a torso, but it graduated highschool. Wow. I think (since I am one) that people hated 4e not because they nerfed spells. But basically what they turned spells, magic, non-magic, and generally speak all mechanics, HP and the pretty much most aspects...

    D&D 5E (2014) Fixing the Fighter

    Not arguing the point you were making here pemerton, but who says all fighters need to be defenders? I assumed by duelist they meant something like the classical duel between two combatants like "duels to the death" used to be. Or basically someone who parrys, ripostes and what not to win a...

    D&D 5E (2014) Fixing the Fighter

    This is where the argument falls apart for me. Are you saying the fighter should ALSO be able to cast an area burst effect for Xd6 fire damage? If the wizard has teleknesis should they be the only one in the party or should everyone have the power to levitate objects from across the room...

    D&D 5E (2014) Should D&D Next be having the obvious problems that it's having at this point in the playtest?

    A completely valid concern but not really the one you have been making to this point. I also completely agree there are concerns with feedback and them not working on the "holes" in the game and instead working only on what is liked. That is my concern with expertise dice and the current HP...

    D&D 5E (2014) Should D&D Next be having the obvious problems that it's having at this point in the playtest?

    I think the problem here for you then is you assume the foundation, the frame, the plumbing, electrics, the walls and the insulation aren't already there. They are. If they weren't then there would be nothing to test. The house isn't decorated yet and there are some holes in the walls, leaky...

    D&D 5E (2014) Should D&D Next be having the obvious problems that it's having at this point in the playtest?

    This is going to be long, I apologize in advance. Actually, if you are meant to live in the house - ie. Play the Playtest - then you need SOME furniture. It doesn't really matter what that furniture looks like but it should exist there in some form. That is how you can tell if the spacing in a...
