    So, if you've accepted the Warlock's 9d6 Eldritch Blast; what if it healed?

    Nope, I made that distinction though in the first example. I admit it's a kludge, and is not technically creating Nonlethal damage, but this is House Rules so making sense is secondary. Why can he heal actual damage and not nonlethal damage? Got me :) We'll just assume that's how his 'type' of...

    So, if you've accepted the Warlock's 9d6 Eldritch Blast; what if it healed?

    That's a good point; a party of 4:Fighter, Rogue, Warlock, Healing-Warlock, would be quite the movers and shakers, assuming the DM doesn't start making them go through the Exhaustion/Fatigued steps just for doing too much in a day. What if, as I posited above, those Xd6's simply converted...

    So, if you've accepted the Warlock's 9d6 Eldritch Blast; what if it healed?

    What if a modification of the Warlock class turned it's Eldritch Blast mechanic into, basically, Cure X Wounds, so that at first level, a melee touch would heal it's target of 1d8 damage, up to 9d8 at 20th? Should it be kept at Xd6? Would a ray be OK? Will anyone respond; as the ones most...

    Sorceror, Bard, Warlock: Of What Value is Change?

    Thanks for that, Kurotowa. I'm awful suprised something of that magnitude didn't make it into the errata from 3/16 for CA. Koewn

    Sorceror, Bard, Warlock: Of What Value is Change?

    Huh. My text here states: "At any level when a Warlock learns a new invocation, he can also replace an invocation he already knows with an invocation of the same or lower grade." Now, granted, the example text calls out levels 6, 11, and 16, which lends itself to your statement (and the text...

    Sorceror, Bard, Warlock: Of What Value is Change?

    MODS = Move me to House Rules please. Thanks! OK; let's go ahead and shift this to House Rules since it's heading that way, if a kind moderator could please. I apologize for the confusion in my parent post; I'm just of 3 weeks of paternity leave, and I don't think my brain's restarted yet. Let...

    Sorceror, Bard, Warlock: Of What Value is Change?

    With 3.5, what was most likely a common houserule was codified in that Sorcerors and Bards can change their spells known every few levels (4 and 5 respectively?). I believe Warlocks from CompArcane are the same; although I don't know how often that is allowed for their invocations. The two...

    Building a wizard's tower on the cheap

    Think Flat! You know, reading through this - it's not a far stretch to say that this is why there's so many 'dungeons' in any given campaign world. Your average wizard with no Know(Engr/Arch) will eventually find it too costly or complex to build an actual tower. Even the ones with the money...

    Awesome ninja multiclassing

    Woah, there, hangonasec. Haven't picked up CAdv yet, but aren't ninjas and pirates natural enemies? If a ninja cross-classes to pirate, would he not instantly flip out and kill himself? Both classes must be broken if there's not a requirement for the ninja of not being a pirate, and...

    DMing from a Laptop

    I've just got Sovelier/Sage's SRD locally on the laptop, as Scion stated. I've tried putting the adventure text, custom monsters/NPCs and stuff like that up on screen, but I can't get it to work for me; I scribble too much, and walk around too much. I'd also thought about on the player side of...

    OGL Mob (People Swarm) Now Template-ish! Zombies! Sharks! Tatonka! Half-Dragons! Eek!

    *joy* Thanks. How come? All pile on is is automatic damage when they're grappling. If the Crebain Flock decides to grapple an opponent, that's the clawing, biting, scratching, flapping damage all those birds can do, when they grab on to your clothes, and poke out your eyes. Like the movie...

    OGL Mob (People Swarm) Now Template-ish! Zombies! Sharks! Tatonka! Half-Dragons! Eek!

    I hate to give up my very first 2-page post ever, but it was too messy, with half-thought out rules and mechanics spread about. So, anyway, here's a clean post, with more stuff. Enjoy! MOB A Mob is a single pool of creatures that act as one. A Mob can be consisted of Small or Medium creatures...

    OGL "Mob" Type (People Swarm) New! More Dangerous! Manes! Zombies! Elementals! Oh My!

    I'm working on a version 1.1 of this, with additional examples, and a basic 'Template' to go by on creating a mob. Ought to have it up at least by this weekend if not sooner, and it will probably be in another post. I'll let ya'll know. I'm adding Half-Dragons, Medusa, and a couple of...

    If you could pick only three house rules for your game, what would they be?

    Top three, a combination of the game I run and the game I play in: 1) Cross-class skill ranks are limited to half the maximum ranks of a class skill as normal, however, they do not cost two-for-one skill points. 2) Modified UA Recharge system. It's recharge, and it has points (points equal...

    OGL "Mob" Type (People Swarm) New! More Dangerous! Manes! Zombies! Elementals! Oh My!

    Ah. Thankya. True, quite true. Although, if I were wanting to model the effects of being engulfed by a Mob of Medusa and getting bit by all their snaky-hairs, I'd go ahead and fully increase their Con for that 30 HD *as well as* their Chr for the petrification. Perhaps not fully, but, that's...

    OGL "Mob" Type (People Swarm) New! More Dangerous! Manes! Zombies! Elementals! Oh My!

    There's still work to be done. It's hard to let in all the special cases that "make sense logically" (that in quotes, as logic is not part of DND physics, and shouldn't be) without missing a few. I could just drop all the special cases entirely though, and not miss them much. :) If you want to...

    Complete Arcane - What's in it!!

    What about for Time Stop? I didn't catch the actual effect of the feat anywhere, but if it turns anything into a Delayed Blast Fireball, basically...depending on what the level adjustment is. Koewn

    D&D 3.x Alienist[3.5] - Complete Arcane - Any Changes?

    An odd change to the phobia. I don't even think those across-the-board penalties for those skills will come up as often as even the commonest of phobias (like 'feathered wings') At the very least, it'd mess up my current Alienist, whom through a generous house rule can use Diplomacy and Lesser...

    Dumb-ass question of the day: is there a dire rabbit anywhere?

    While I'm confused by the Swallow Whole writeup (sizes are odd?) the genius of it will shine brightly if he manages to swallow a familiar or two with it. Koewn
