    Tiered Barbarian

    Unstoppable is way, way over the top. I can't see any Barbarian *not* taking it. You've just given them unlimited use of the "Pounce" ability. What's more, it requires the ability that means they never take AoO's for movement. The scary thing is that the way the pre-reqs are written, this...

    Ways to boost DC on Enchantment spells

    Other than the obvious -- Spell Focus and Greater Spell Focus -- I think your only option are the two fey feats in Complete Mage. The first is the entry feat and the second adds one to all Enchantment DCs.

    "Epic" progression after 6th level

    Sure. Give him Weapon Proficiency: Longsword, Weapon Focus: Longsword, and maybe one of the splatbook feats for using two weapons (staff and blade) and he's up there with some of the best fighters in the world -- most of them aren't sixth level half-celestials, after all. :)...

    Please tell me about Midnight and Eberron!

    As Shadeydm says, Midnight is easy. It's a very bleak world where an evil god was cast down to the planet, launched a series of wars as he regained strength, and eventually conquered the world. It's Lord of the Rings after Sauron won. The PCs can fight against his servants, but it's not...

    "Epic" progression after 6th level

    I really like the idea of this system, but I have to comment on one slice of balance... Sorcerer/Wizard. I'm specifically looking at the top-level spells here. The Sorcerer has 3 slots per day, with one 3rd level spell known. The Wizard has 2 slots per day -- memorized in advance, of course...

    Help me capture my PCs

    ...and one guard with a level of wizard/high UMD check and a wand of Charm Person, Sleep, or Color Spray waiting for anyone that comes out of the cloud of gas -- since it will be assumed that anyone strong enough to resist the gas will probably be weak-willed. (Note: Unlikely to work on...

    Creating a demi-human race and society

    Expansion into areas that aren't generally considered desirable, for one thing. Primitive society = no air conditioning. But a hothouse climate is great for growing a lot of different fauna. A group (sub-group, faction, whatever) that can live in an uncomfortably hot area, only working at...

    The Doomed Bastards: Reckoning (story complete)

    ^^ What HugeOgre said. I've been around since the first Travels in the West Story Hour and your writing just keeps improving. It seems crazy to me -- especially with the prolific rate at which you generate prose -- that you haven't found a writing contract with Wizards or one of the other...

    The Age of Worms - Morrus' Campaign - Finished 6th August!!

    I take it that Maynard is the new character from Malachite's player? He decide druid wasn't the class for him, or is something else going on?

    Wizard Alternatives

    If you just want a pure wizard with more skill points, go Loremaster. It's relatively easy to qualify for if you're a wizard, especially with the bonus feats. In exchange for your familiar, you get 2 more skill points a level, a few secrets, and the Bardic Lore ability -- perfect for a...

    OotS #467

    She established herself as the second in command clear back in "The Origin of the PCs" book. However, I definitely agree that it's nice to see her showing her authority and not letting Hinjo take any authority over the party. ...and I loved Belkar's line about the chicken. :)

    Death & Dying - a better (and simple!) system.

    One house rule I've used in the past is that the character needs to make a Fortitude save: DC = (10 + HP below zero - Con modifier). So if you're a 16 Con fighter at -10HP, you make the save at DC 17. Regardless of the result of the save, your friends always have until the end of the...

    StarGate: Atlantis -- Spoilers Requested

    Well, I try to drool a bit less about it, but yeah. :) She's been cast to play the new doctor -- or at least, that's the rumors I've been hearing. You can find the sources for that rumor (there are several) in the StarGate: Atlantis thread about the episode in which the old doctor became an...

    Tank Building: 101

    There's a feat (PHBII, I think) that's called... Overwhelming Assault? Something like that. If you threaten a foe at the beginning and end of his turn and he still attacks someone else... you get a +4 to all attacks against him. It would combine well with the Knight's 'difficult terrain'...

    StarGate: Atlantis -- Spoilers Requested

    Thanks for the help, guys. I knew I could count on ENWorld. :) Heh... Going to start watching just in time for the season break -- that's planning! (I really need an eyeroll smiley)

    Seeking dry erase board with one-inch grid

    The other option is to head down to your local hardware store and pick up a sheet of bathroom surfacing. The material works almost exactly like dry-erase and a big sheet *might* run as high as $10. Usually they're cheaper. A T-square and an exacto knife (and a couple of hours of elbow grease)...

    StarGate: Atlantis -- Spoilers Requested

    Alright, here's the story... I've been a fan of SG-1 for a long, long time. Since the second season, actually. And now it's finally drawing to a close next week. I watched Atlantis when it started and I've caught a few episodes here and there, so I'm familiar with the cast of the show and...

    And the princess' dolly did smite the brigrand down...

    You know, it probably says more about my personality than about the actual idea... but I would be TERRIFIED if a 16-ft. construct in a dress were beating up my friends and then paused to say something along the lines of "Oops, dolly is all wet now and needs changed", while the barbarian's...

    OotS #462

    I'm not sure Azure City is going bye-bye. (And if it is, that's a bonus -- most of the paladin army is dead, mostly just hobgoblins left to kill.) Still, what caused the destruction of the Redmountain Gate was Elan hitting the "Self-Destruct Rune" on the DUNGEON. Remember that the gates...

    The Doomed Bastards: Reckoning (story complete)

    Nah. All (or at least most) of the regular dead have been removed from the battlefield. The best bet is to charge across the bridge and attack the warlock. While he's occupied with all the folks fighting him, you drop the bridge BEHIND the party. It may be a huge undead horde, but they're...
