I must say, it sometimes makes people curious, most notably when I was reading through my (then new) AD&D monstrous manual in the train. However, since I'm also a LARP-er, the reactions to D&D seem mild compared to people wondering what you are doing when you are creating a chainmail in the...

Great feedback everyone! Ok, time for some replies: @kitcik : It's located in a slime-and-bone filled pit, which would make charging impossible, require balance checks (or something like it. Haven't thought that one out yet) and would require everyone who wants to combat it to be within...

I've been running a converted Basic D&D adventure for some time now using 3.5, and I'm finally getting to the closing encounter of The Lost City, namely Zargon. I've been using either 3.0 conversions of monsters or the 3.5 versions straight out of the 3.5 MM's, but the final encounter, Zargon...

I definately want to recommend Improvisation (from Spell Compendium IIRC). Because it's versatile, and allows you to 'patch up' those areas you may fall behind.

I'm a bit confused by the text on creation magic shields and enhancing them to make them magic weapons. The text in the DMG(p.217) seems to suggest the attack and damage bonus is tracked seperate from the AC bonus, but doen't list how it would combine with the Bashing property: A bashing...

After a discussion with a friend, decided to: 1. ditch the magic item feats 2. ditch the sneak attack assist (being kind of odd one in the bunch) 3. create a better capstone 4. focus more on the crafting 5. simplify mithral-like ability 6. ditch Appraise Magic Value bonus feat (replaced it with...

Did some more thinking and decided that: 1. PrC needs some focus outside of armor 2. More choice, less bonus item creation Which lead me to this: 1. Appraise Magic Value, Fabricate 1/day, Craft Alchemy, Bonus Item Creation Feat(CL3) 2. Treat Armor as one category lighter (does not stack...

How about the Monk's AC bonus? I assume you already have a decent WIS, and you won't be wearing armor in wildshape when in animal form. Also, if you DO wear armor (using MoMF), it won't increase your AC to unnatural heights.... Or would that be to powerfull in exchange for full spellcasting....

I'm posting this seperate to my main thread because I really need some generic balance feedback. I'm building a PrC based around Crafting, and as a part of that want it to gain Magic Item Crafting feats. Given the following: 1. The PrC can be accessed by taking 1 lvl in any spellcasting...

I'm doing it again! Posting, then rethinking my current version, then posting again... Oh well. This time a more lean version (without the fluff): Requirements: Alignment: any Neutral. Race: Dwarf Skills: Craft(any) 12 ranks, Appraise 5 ranks, Knowledge(Arcana) 5 ranks, Spellcraft 5 ranks...

Yes. Since the DM allowed me to 'write my own prestige class', that's what I did. However, you may be right in him actually being more inclined to allow a more generic PrC that's NOT tailored to my current abilities.... Maybe I should ask him... The current implied reading is: Dwarf Rangers and...

The 'ranger boost' would only work for Dwarves, but if they were Dwarf rangers, yes, it would. Maybe a bit of background is necessary: I'm currently a Master(Dragonlance expert like class) 2/Fighter 2/Spellthief 1/Ranger 2/Barbarian 1 with Improved Shieldbash and Two-Weapon-Fighting with...

I re-wrote it (again) stripping all magic item creation, shifted around some of the abilities and their progression, and added some to help me get rid of my ranger and barbarian armor restrictions (which was partly why I wanted to craft magic armor in the first place). Please comment heavily...

I've spent most of today thinking about this PrC, and decided on a couple of MAJOR changes, mostly for the following reasons: 1. The way Forges of Reorx was written was too complex. I've re-written it to be a slightly powered down version of Fabricate once per day. 2. In hindsight, including...

Forges of Reorx also applies to magic items, but only for the listed feats ( craft magic arms and armor, brew potion, forge ring, and craft wondrous item), and you have to make pretty high crafting DC's for them as well. I'm not sure what the cost of these portals are, but I doubt they would be...

...as opposed to every crafter in the multiverse having 9 wizard levels so they can cast Fabricate? on a more serious note: it is my personal opinion that the Craft rules, as written, are written for NPC's. Which means they don't belong in the Player's Handbook but in the DMG. This PrC tries...

After reading through the allowed books in my DragonLance campaign for the umpteenth time and coming up empty, my DM allowed me to write my own prestige class. Before presenting it to him, I thought it best to present it here first for critique, both for the strength of the prestige class and...

After wracking my head over prestige classes applicable to my current character, my DM has suggested I write one of my own (which I will post shortly in a new thread). I've taken the oppertunity to write a specific progression tofix this 'problem' using the PrC 'special' spell progression....

RogueInRouge: Well, that pretty much makes that ability worthless for a multiclassing Spellthief. I was considering taking a second level of spellthief, but at lvl 9 I highly doubt being able to steal spell effects with caster lvl 3 or below is going to do much.

In case the question was directed at me (I now realise posting a very different proposal in the same thread can get confusing. I'll stop responding to post not directed specifically at me after this one): The problem that at higher levels, the tactical constraint significantly reduces the...
