I don't think things from aligned planes can be reformed ... IDHTBIFOM, but a good - or neutral - aligned demon is still of the [Evil] subtype, isn't it? I think the relevant example was a succubus, possibly in the BoED. Or I'm totally wrong and have been awake for far too long. All are...

I've also just done away completely with the cross-class skill idea. It's just easier that way. The OP's idea is less extreme and thus perfectly viable in my eyes.

NOOOOO!!!! (dramatic arm-raised stance; lightning in background):)

even us new ones who don't pipe up that often.;)

Wow. First the "Test post - please ignore" thread and now this.

Usually I don't reply to threads but ... something made me feel the need to at least post SOMETHING here ... I simply couldn't NOT check out a 17 page thread with such a title. As I've said before: I'm the cat that curiosity killed.

You scored as Character Player. Character Player 80% Storyteller 75% Weekend Warrior 70% Casual Gamer 60% Tactician 40% Power Gamer 35% Specialist 30% Sounds about right for me. But then; I answered the questions truthfully. It should sound about right. This character player likes to...

Use common sense here. Maybe the cost is huge because a character can use two speed weapons(or up to four, if a thri-kreen;)).

I agree. I voted no, because there just happens to be no psionics in the game I am currently running. My love for the XPH system equals my seething and eternal hatred for the Vancian system which doesn't model ANY sort of magic of ANY type I've ever seen. Though it does balance nicely.

In considering balance I also consider bookkeeping(aka Time) taken due to the change. A small 'move' in power up or down is ok if it saves time on my and the players' part. Some examples: dodge samply increases AC as if dex were 2 higher. for ALL purposes. no ability scores get temporarily...

On a second look, it is not stated in so many words and thus is likely a false conclusion I made from the clerics' channeling of positive and negative energy. While it is explicitly stated that the channelling of negative energy is an Evil act, it is not said that the energy itself is evil. My...

BSF said it more eloquently than I, as I had intended to imply that the fireball was not a solid mass of fire filling the entire space. Wait ... let's stop for a moment to consider that odd, odd phrase: "solid mass of fire" tch, tch. What WOULD my friendly neighborhood physicist think of my...

I say Unearthed Arcana. I know little of the PHII, so I can say nothing of it; definitely XPH, I think, if you so much as don't mind psionics. Of course, the Book of Vile Darkness has a lot of meaty stuff for the most wretched of villians, though it is a 'For mature audiences only' deal.

I actually wonder which opposed checks you can make without needing to(even when unable to) act. If a fireball couldn't be dodged, sidestepped, etc. any creatures in its AOE wouldn't get reflex saves at all. They would simply either be in the AOE and fully damaged, or not in the AOE and...

Mr K is right.

I'll agree with this. I've a couple of intermittent players in my game and whenever they show up their PCs are lucky to be able help the 'main' group at all. It is getting to the point that I may have to come up with a quick way of solving this. \hijack:)

True. The logic I had used(knowingly erronneously) was thus: while choosing a full attack action, after completing the first attack, a character may choose to take a move action in place of the rest of its attacks. This quite arguably implies that a full attack action is composed of a standard...

What sort of mount could the Pegasus paladin summon?:)

This thread makes me want to go convert my old Magic cards into 3.5e. ... I think I'll go do that right now.:)

You're right. I've fixed it now; thanks for the link.
