    Would I break D&D if I gave 6 extra skill points to all per level?

    Please clarify, does this mean cross-class skills dont cost 2 per rank, or does this mean cross-class skills arent limited to half ranks, or both? i dont agree. the full rogue loses a lot of ground against the multiclass rogue this system is very similar to the "feat a level" houserule (which...

    On building a coherent variant combat system...

    1st level fighter: AC 19 = 8 + 1 + 0 (10 + fullplate + maxdex + basereflex) 1st level rogue: AC 19 = 4 + 3 + 2 (10 + chainshirt + maxdex + basereflex) (note the rogue could have more than 16 dex) 6th level fighter: AC 21 = 8 + 1 + 2 (10 + fullplate + maxdex + basereflex) 6th level rogue: AC 22...

    On building a coherent variant combat system...

    it seems that the effect of your overarching house rules (low magic campaign, gritty-er view of combat) puts the PCs at a disadvantage. Are these other changes designed to remove that disadvantage? In normal D&D, the benefit of heavy armor is not needing a high dex bonus to have good AC. your...

    Advice on building a Horse Archer

    thanks for the ideas most of them require a bit too many levels (eberron campaign setting) lvl1 warriors will have weapon focus lvl3 warriors will get mounted combat/mounted archery (i'll pretend they didnt grow from lvl1 warriors) ranger or ranger/fighter for classed characters scout isnt as...

    Advice on building a Horse Archer

    trying to build a Scythian/Mongol/Hun style plains/steppes horse archer this is for NPCs and possibly PC chars, specifically Elves and Halflings in Eberron all at levels 1-6 looking at ranger or scout but the build seems feat intensive so maybe some fighter can an effective horse archer be...

    Fighting Offensively or: how i learned to stop worrying and love the reckless combat

    oops, i initially read your suggestion as my idea #1 i like it, and agree it could be used with power attack/charge but how would you feel about provoking the AoO after the attack is made (before any other action)? also, would this be usable with iterative attacks? can some be offensive? do you...

    Fighting Offensively or: how i learned to stop worrying and love the reckless combat

    ya, i looked at charge as a guide: +2 attack for -2 AC and required movement was hoping to find an alternate penalty to required movement ya, i really should look at it and Conan d20 too except i'm having a hard time dropping that much money on a product sight unseen ... but one of these days

    Fighter Substitution Idea

    look up the non-casting ranger variant from Arcane Unearthed (and its other variants) or maybe take barbarian, drop rage, gain ranger twf progression? would either of those fit your character concept also look at Arcana Evolved's Unfettered class if possible

    Fighting Offensively or: how i learned to stop worrying and love the reckless combat

    for a long time i've wondered why everyone got fighting defensively for free, the (feat)poor-man's combat expertise, but there was no power attack counterpart here's my ideas for feat-free reckless combat: 1) -4 attack for +2 dmg (not stackable with power attack) 1) -4 AC for +2 attack (not...

    how about grapple as a primary attack? and maybe a system for decay, to represent the difference between fresh and run-down "walking dead"

    A dozen metamagic cantrips (meta-cantrips?)

    As Jack Smith stated, casting these spells shouldnt be a swift/move action. Sure it would be more useful, but then you'd only be increasing the casters power without taking anything away. Most people would agree that casters dont need power-creep.
