However, if the dragon is not carrying anything, even though it weighs several hundred pounds, it can still fly with just a strength of 1. It doesn't actually need to carry it's own weight when flying.

I don't know how I like the illiteracy part. It makes sense for barbarians, and maybe some classes. But if you can't read, how do you get a Stoic Wizard, for example? Or what are they contemplating without books to record other people's thoughts? A verbal tradition just ain't gonna cut it.

To address the points in reverse order; Yeah, I'll be picking up those various feats as soon as I can, of course. Part of the reason for the switch over to fighter. The mounted feats, I won't really bother with, I plan on dropping the class before I'd get the special mount, to avoid the...

Elf Paladin is an idea. Right now, I've got him as a human, relying on two shortswords for melee backup. And I still don't have enough skill points to do what I want, but I'll definitely look into the Sub Levels.

Right, I know the above concept is a lot like saying "So, I've chopped off this guy's leg, can you help me train him for the marathon?" But, that's the plan. Right now, I'm planning on taking rogue all the way down, and drop paladin right before the mount shows up (or turn undead, whichever...

You could also say that Polar Bears have ranks in survival, with which to make those "make it through the weather" checks.

Items with skill bonuses have skill rank bonus^2 *100 pricing schemes.

Wow. Thanks, that'll help a lot. Where did you find the NPC maker? That would help a bundle.

Thanks so far guys. Unfortunately, I forgot to mention, no psionics. Because running a game should not be my first exposure to them.

I don't know about all of you, but I actually enjoy writing up new characters, even if I don't get to actually play them. However, I'll be running a one shot (little bit of wilderness, little bit of city, some intrigue, low politics) soon, for a bunch of friends, and don't have time to pregen...

I don't see why not. First, you need an Attack of Opportunity THEN, they need to miss it. THEN you need to trip them THEN you need to hit them. It's not exactly a solid lock chain of events, for the cost of two feats.

What would you price that at/expect the character to be levelwise to get it? Because that's a DARNED powerful item. I can easily see it giving people DR 25 or so.

Not so much that, as I thought this is where the character stuff went. I'm not looking for a hyperoptimized build. Just one that would be a bit more worthwhile than a barbarian using a bow, for instance. I just have an image of a light, subtle paladin, rather than the plate armor and big...

An idea I had was a paladin archer. Just a concept I like. A holy warrior other than the hit people with swords type. So the question is, what to do? Are there any paladin spells that are exceptionally useful? indespensible magical weapons (bow of disruption maybe?) or whatnot? I'm not...

Quick question. She said she was "going by it, searching it," trying to learn more. Why did you not give her a search check to find the trap?

Unfortunately, no. Don't forget, the effectiveness of ninjas is inversely proportional to their numbers compared to that of the enemy. One ninja can eviscerate an armor battalion before they know he's there. But an army of ninjas goes down like a chump to an asthmatic 7th grader.

Fair enough. I'm not to stuck on the 5000 price. It's just the idea is that one thing grants you all the strength you need, and an exponential pricing scheme would only work if there were multiple levels, which goes completely contrary to the idea. Even if people were to think this was an...

If anyone can become a slave, then there are going to be plenty of very skilled slaves. As such, I'd price them by skill points. Maybe 5 or 10 gp per certain skill points. Things like Craft, or Appraise, or Knowledge would be very useful to have in a slave or servant. Other things, like...

Ok, I wasn't clear. I've GOT a DM and a game. I'm just asking around so I don't get blindsided by any differences come play time. "Oh, that doesn't work like that," or "Oh, those are the rulers of the world that you just pantsed." Things like that.

Oh, I don't expect issues like that, the people I game with are tolerant of not knowing what's going on. I'm just asking about things like "And magical beasts are revered, so killing a unicorn is a terrible horrible sin" or "And zombies are considered to be a remnant of the people they used to...
