It's a house rule, so it's whatever your DM says it is (including "None Exist") -Tatsu

I have always liked the example of the Ever-healing Goblin. Take a goblin, and give it the power to cast Cure Light Wounds (Caster Level 1) at will. In a fight, is this goblin more powerful than a normal goblin? Maybe a little, maybe around the power of a Goblin Cleric (level 1 or 2). So the...

HBK - the Heart Break Kid, Shawn Michaels. If you encounter one of these monsters, you must make a DC 17 will save or start laughing at his silly pants -Tatsu

So what's teh difference between what Able learner does 9Make buying cross class skills cost 1) and just saying "All skills are class skills" ?? Smells broken if I am understanding it correctly. Than again, I can't be understanding it correctly... -Tatsu

Or perhaps, one might say, limited to "2 7th level spells, 3 of 6th and 5th, 4 each of the rest". Of course, that's the PHB right there. -Tatsu

Be a paladin, get a poke-mount heavy horse with pack saddle (and maybe an item to boost STR). Summon, load up, dismiss. Go back to town when the pokemount is full. Cheap! -Tatsu

Evards (Godlike) tentacles will kill just about any medium sized bad guy. It's by far the most potent killer in the 4th level group. Cast it, and walk away, there's nearly no chance that bad guy mage (or anyone else really) will get away. If you have a cleric around, he can toss a silence in...

Wait, doesn't that give a wizard a choice of 2 cantrips OR one 1st level spell at first level? Isn't that much weaker? I like the simplicity of the system, but a 1st level wizard should have 5 points (plus bonus). I don't think 1st level wizards need nerfing. Maybe have the PC start out with a...

(For the record, I teach English at a university) Your English is fine for a novel. In fact, I think it's pretty darn good. The only thing I would say to make it sound more 'natural' would be to stay away from the "A of B" construction. Many schools teach things like "Teacher of English" or...

I think you still need 8 hours of "rest" to get your spells, like an elf. Side note: It's very stupid that the Elven trance thing is cool, but doesn't work if you are a wizard (the fvored class for Elf). As for items, nothing. My DM is tight with loot, our party has thousands of gold that we...

Normally right, but in this case the PC can just walk through the door. If he fails the check, and can't get in, he just walks in again. The group can play out every PC rolling until they pass, or you can just handwave them into the room (which for skills is called 'take 20'). I would let it...

Another way to look at browsing, but not buying in a store is that you are giving them a chance. If they fail to wow you, you buy online. It's like first option on a sale. You call your friend (or FLGS), get a bid (Price, add ons) and if you don't like it, or if you get a better bid, you move...

How long does the spell you 'traded for' last? Can you scribe it to a scroll? To your spellbook? That PrC seems to make the wizard into a sorcerer with all the spells in the book known (but with fewer spells per day than a sorcerer). I'm playing in a group that has one of these guys. So far...

What's wrong with a +3 great sword and +2 armor spikes? Depending on how your DM feels about improved Buckler Defence, maybe you can add a buckler for the AC. -Tatsu

I like one per HD, in fact, I think that's what I'll use. The animal can use more than that in a fight, it is always making more, but it has one dose per HD 'stored up'. Of course, what you get from a dead monster needs to be refined to be usable (so the total value is low). I don't want to...

The damage is "per round", not "per time you enter", so no. It's a good spell, but 7D8 is on average 32 points, 17 if you make the save (or none for evasion people). That's not going to scratch most 15th level tank types, but it might kill the mages. All and all, I think I'd rather have an...

Ok, another Tatsukun example- Well, you know, people have always wanted to communicate with loved ones living far away. Originally, they had to actually go visit. It took a long time, and was expensive. Then, somebody had the idea that everyone could write what they wanted to say down, and one...

I agree that if the shield is being used as cover, it's an object blocking the line of the spell. It should take the damage instead of the user. A tower shield has hardness 5, 20 Hp. Mithril makes it hardness 15, I'm not sure how many HP. Let's just call it Hardness 15, 20Hp The bolt does...

Well, I guess I see the trend of larger and larger groups of people working together to accomplish what they want. Call it large groups of people, or call it “big business”; either way they can almost always out compete the small groups of people; the so-called “Mom & Pop shops” for things in...

[Nitpicker's corner] "The Buddha" is not actually a god in the western sense. The character is human, but ascended to heaven. It'd be a better parallel to say the Buddha is like a prophet, rather than a god." [/Nitpicker's corner] What about a jaded DM? Surely people here have played with one...
