    Nerra from Fiend Folio

    Is it me, or are they seriously underpowered for their listed CR and LA modifiers? At LA +18 (or maybe LA +11, not sure...) the Sillit is pathetic. At first I thought I was missing something important, like spellcasting or somesuch, but there's really nothing there. What makes the LA and CR so...

    Are there any feats that allow a Sorc to bypass the metamagic restriction?

    This is the realm of house rules, but I have tried creating a Metamagic Mastery feat for Sorcerers. Basically, when you take it, you pick a metamagic feat you already have. When using that feat, you negate the casting time increase, but you still get the spell level increase. The feat isn't...

    PrCs for Fighters and Rogues.

    I sort of feel the need to rant on the situation with Prestige Classes for the least magically inclined of the base classes (except maybe Barbarians). Namely, there aren't enough. For fighters, you tend to have either the "Elite fighters of organization X" (Fist of Hextor, Ravager, Knight...

    I'm blind!!! Blind PCs, what to do.

    I referred to the Blindsight 5' radius feat in S&F. It's prerequisite is Blind-fight, and a 19+ wisdom. With 5' blindsight, he can melee with no penalty, and he won't trip and stumble over stairs and such. So at first level, he'd spend two feats to compensate for his natural blindness. I...

    I'm blind!!! Blind PCs, what to do.

    Giving him blindsight within 5 feet should be good enough to get him by. Using the aging benefits, he should fairly easily get the required wisdom to take the Blindsight 5' radius feat. He'll be able to fight without a miss chance, and doesn't lose his Dex bonus in melee. Maybe just give him...

    Need help w/ a magic item

    Yes, intelligent, special purpose for killing heretics, and maybe a modified Brain Lock power from the PsiHB as some kind of special attack. It would probably also grant SR/PR and maybe some other various abjuration effects. Basically stuff that hurts magic but ignores the mundanes.

    Feat search: Bluff enhancement

    It's Quicker than the Eye from Song & Silence, this is true. It lets you feint as a M-E action, but it's opposed by Spot instead of Sense Motive. The first level class ability of the Gladiator prestige class in Sword & Fist also lets you feint as a M-E. Both are equally valuable for feinting as...

    [Swashbuckling Adventures] Vampires of Theah

    Sorcery in Theah came from the (former) Senate making pacts with infernal creatures (either Demons or Syrneth, not clear which). Vampires could easily be random people who were corrupted by the same forces, or they could be a form of those infernal creatures. I hate the default MM vampire...

    PbC One Shot (Possibly Epic) Scarred Lands!

    You're a great DM. If this is anything like the Fangsfall game, I wouldn't mind giving it a shot.

    Need a fancy word for "cleric"

    I vote for Avatar. The "cleric" has opened himself up to channel divine energy, and is kind of a host for it. He is basically a representation of the divine. Sounds like an Avatar to me.

    Which Monster Manual Monstah are you?

    I'm gonna go with Dopplegangah.

    (Homebrew class) Hanged Man

    Skade: You probably are right with the extra descriptor thing. I'll probably just drop the allegiance part and let the player pick the subtype when he gains the class. Pielorhino and you both think that Dodge Fire and Absorb Bullet would be better switched, so I think I'll do that. I'll also...

    D&D 3.x [semi-OT] [semi-3.5] What is "Cold Iron?"

    I also feel the need to chime in on using unrefined iron ore in smithing. Unrefined iron ore is mostly oxidized, which means it's basically rust. If you hit a big chunk of rust with a hammer, it doesn't bend into a sword, it crumbles into dust. Whole pieces of metallic iron are simply not found...

    (Homebrew class) Hanged Man

    This is really the first time I've made my own mechanics in d20 Modern (I'm a veteran in D&D though). I chose Hanged Man because I see this as being kind of the "I'm damned anyways" type who knows that he's hurting himself, but does it anyways. It just evokes the right emotion for me, at least...

    D&D 3.x [semi-OT] [semi-3.5] What is "Cold Iron?"

    I believe that the myths of Sidhe call for cold iron, which is the same as wrought iron. It contrasts with cast iron, which is completely melted and then formed into the desired shape. As far as the myth goes, stuff that's considered cold iron can be worked with heat, but it can't be made into...

    (Homebrew class) Hanged Man

    I didn't really want to bump this, but I'd just like to know if the class looks balanced. I think it's a pretty fair class (maybe the name could use some work), but just a quick "too weak" "too strong" or "just right" is all I'm looking for.

    Quick svirfneblin question

    It's a tough one. On one hand, they are modifiers of the same type. On the other hand, they are to different things. On the other other hand, one is a subset of the other. I would probably let them stack though. Since they are both coming from the same source, I'd say it's one bonus that...

    Counter-smackdowns: Countering a mage using Improved Invisibility + Fly

    It might sound like a non-solution, but becoming invisible or improved invisible is a great way for defending against another invisible wizard. If your enlarged See Invisibility can't pick him up, he might still be at Long range and able to Fireball the crap out of you. Throw up an invisibility...

    Ghost Template

    It would be a moot point if the Ghost could get his hands on the Eschew Components feat. If not, he might be able to get his hands on some Ghost Touch equipment. Maybe a pair of gloves with Mage Hand at will (that'd cost 1100 gp per Savage Species). Assuming the Ghost had a bag capable of...

    (Homebrew class) Hanged Man

    This class is kind of a modified Gunslinger/Battlemind cross. He uses semi-psychic powers to wield guns. I tried to make it cool without really stepping on other classes' toes. Kind of inspired by some magic guns from the defunct Rokugan 2000 series by Rich Wulf. Hanged Man Requirements: BAB...
