My thoughts ... Dynamic Defender Having to take a feat to change your "charge" for a combat is worth the trade off for versatility. It's not that much of a change to the concept of a devoted defender. However I would make it a full round action that involves movement to the new "charge". This...

I just started a new campaign and I used the 25 point-buy method using the default matrix in the DMG ... 15,14,13,12,10,8 The session was great, not focusing on the power of the characters, and those with the right skills/feats were better than others, but not that much more powered than those...

Is there any metamagic feat in 3.5 (I seem to remember one in 3.0) that makes a spell a burst spell or area of effect spell? And if so, which book is it in? D

I liked the concept but they could have taken it further. 1 monster per page would have been better, the front with all crunch, the back with the fluff. That way you would avoid the problems Auld Grump mentioned. I went a little step further with mine. I started using the ring protectors but...

Actually ... to keep the concept of monkey stealing items ala Indiana Jones (or any other movie with a monkey - Pirates of the Carribean for example), I would say the monkey has natural weapons and can "disarm" the amulet from the character. The character would only be able to use a tiny weapon...

His numbers seem correct, however I didn't understand your statement that the Mage of the Arcane Order allows him to buy feats that he wants. Has he bought more feats than a normal character? And if it causes you too much headache ... FOR save. Use the Book of Vile Darkness with the spell that...

Rystil: Hmmm I see ... rereading it, indeed it seems it is unlimited as long as the quest can be fulfilled in some way. It is the open-ended task that has the 1 day/level limit. I always read it the other way ... I stand corrected. The must save X number clause, however, would not let her...

Rystil: Maybe I read something wrongly, but the Duration of Geas is 1 day/level or until discharged ... this does not mean it can go beyond 1 day/level, it means that if the quest is over within the 1 day/level limitation it is discharged. Now I don't have the exact text for 1st and 2nd edition...

I have been reading this thread, wondering if the dm/players would post, and also what kind of answers/suggestions would be given out. Firstly, Rystil Arden, Geas cannot do what you state you did ... read the spell (in any edition) it has a duration. Once that duration is up, the Druid is free...

Instead of removing flashy magic from my world, I made it highly frowned upon by the law and most sentient beings. Most large communities won't stand for a stray spell destroying property, and will arrest the wizardi n question, while in a village, you better hope you can run faster than the...

So perhaps his father was happy he learnt some arcane talent but then he disappointed him by following his mother ... either as a Divine Bard (he converted from normal to Divine - a redo of his 1st level before game starts for story flavouring) ... or he is ready to be initiated as a cleric (or...

So far Divine Bard seems to fit, however the Arcane bit isn't there ... I might go with Arcane Bard who moves onto Priestly things. Hmmm ... decisions decisions. Would it be weird if he was an normal bard who then became a divine bard? Like Bard 1/Divine Bard 1 D

What about the fluff for cloistered cleric? Is it like a monastery guy? The Divine Bard might fit, just clarifying with the player what he meant by "followed mother's path". And Favoured Soul ... would that be something of a better alternative? D

Actually if you wanted everyone to have a "fair chance" I wouldn't give a +ve CON modifier a benefit, but -ve CON would gain the benefit you suggest in reverse. That is a -1 rereolls 1s etc. This would give everyone average+ hps based on class. My own house rule for hit points goes like this...

Well I actually own UA so you don't need to post them, however owning more books than I can read immediately is not a good thing. So is it possible to quickly run down their concepts ... I know Divine Bard is the same as normal bard except he's ... well .. Divine :) What about the cloistered...

That is what I thought at first, Bard. He even had some "adventures" as a teenager with other kids in the diploatic compound that could be termed illegal. How he has not yet become that character. He finds himself about to leave home. He has sided with his mother most of the time, and she was a...

Okay let me go a bit further ... the campaign I'm starting is not supposed to be uber-powerful, and players "create" their characters by giving me descriptions of 3 phases of their lives. I fit those descriptions to classes. Now, one of them is the son of a diplomatic adviser and a priestess...

Interested in balance issues of combining the best of two NPC classes. In particular the Adept and the Aristocrat. Would this become a class comparable in ability/power to a normal PHB class? Or would it be stronger? Weaker? Essentially I'm looking for a pre-game class to represent upbringing...

The title pretty much sums up what I'm looking for. I'd prefer free, downloadable stuff, I don't care what system it is for, I just would like a good "kick in the right direction" for attempting to run a campaign revolving around film-noir style detective pulp. I know Eberron is supposed to...

Instead of creating a class to do this, have you thought of using feats? A field medic during our various wars was also a soldier. He also had rudimentary (at least) knowledge of medicine. So you could develop a "Field Medic" feat chain ... some ides: Field Medic Requirements: 4 Ranks in Heal...
