Ahoy! Not a regular hiver, but since the other boards are kinda slow at the moment I thought I might as well pitch in here. I gotta say, it sounds kinda idyllic, your family reunions, Mustrum. Gee, wish I could get my whole family together like that, have a similar problem with it being spread...

Hiya Notmousse, and thanks for the reply! I have to admit, I'm not a fan of Endurance, was thinking of making it Great Fortitude, which would though be a bit easy for orcs since its a bonus racial feat in my campaign. I'm a bit reluctant to use splat-book feats as prerequisites (even more so...

I got an idea. Imagine a deity who's ideas and beliefs are so radical that the deity is shunned by all other faiths. Perhaps the deity is so evil and repugnant that it is shunned by other deities for this reason, perhaps it tries to spread a belief that it is the only real deity and the others...

Facts about Balmortis Gods: Deities exist and few, if any, doubt their existence. The gods don't intervene on behalf of their subjects and it is extremely rare to see a deity walk the earth. Deities also seem to be extremely flexible about who they give divine magic to. Some faiths have a...

Just wanted to post a short post about the setting I've been working on for some time (well, originally started on it 15 years ago or so, when I started playing the game). What I am trying to do, is construct a "what if" setting. Originally, the setting was merely a random collection of cities...

Okay, this class has a somewhat long description, so you've been warned. It is part of my little project of creating unique classes for some of the various deities in my campaign. This class is a paladin-ish thing with a heavy focus on melee combat. I changed the way that the magic of the class...

Howdy Remmen! Its a good feat, and probably a feat that I could see a use for. Initially, I thought it looked a bit strong, especially with its rather low prerequisites, but I then saw the various limitations on it and it actually looks kind of fair, since there's both a limit to how far you...

Thanks a lot for the reply, good thing you like it! I got the inspiration a bit from Fat Bastard from the Austin Powers movies as well as the ogres from the Warhammer setting. I was actually pondering that quite a bit, if any monk would ever take the class. I figured that since there's a...

Glutton While all orcs are by nature fond of eating, they have a tendency to avoid obesity by the rigors of their every day lives. An orc tribe, even a prosperous one, will rarely produce enough food for any members of the tribe to grow overweight. In rare events, an orc will find a way to gain...

Okay, I'm going to try again (already wrote a post once, but while writing it I got logged out and when asked to log in my entire post was lost.. *sigh*). The system of EP as a way of handling level progression is actually quite elegant. I can see a number of benefits to it, in addition to the...

Howdy Sigurd I agree that the LA is a little bit on the low side for a standard campaign, and it is a bit my fault for not explaining it better when I posted the race. I have given all races a boost in power relative to LA, meaning that even LA 0 races will be a bit more potent than standard...

Here's the next race in the line of special Balmortis races I'm working on. While this race might be a bit too high LA for a player to take, they should be interesting opponents. Remember that the LA listed is not the "final" LA, since the "final" LA would be racial Hit Dice + LA. Red Hand Orc...

I might agree that weapon focus can be avoided, but I don't think any melee character would like to go without cleave in a campaign where you don't have access to caster artillery to handle scores of weak mobs. I actually saw someone who had converted many feats into "potential" damage by...

Howdy Crothian, the all-mighty denizen of post-countage. Despite their initial simplicity, I think the house-rules you mention make sense. While the character creation process you mention isn't really a "house-rule" per say, but more of an alternative way of addressing the character creation...

Howdy Reveille Initially, I was going to comment on the LA of the race, but since you only got the Aasimar posted so far, I couldn't compare them to any of your other races and kind of presumed that your races will be slightly higher in power compared to normal player races (something I'm all...

I actually worked on something similar, but it was in the guise of feat-chains that gave special powers to certain types of weapons, and as you I worked with flails as weapons that could overcome shields. I don't think a +1 bonus to hit vs. shield-wielding opponents would be too much...

Part of my work on my own campaign setting, Balmortis, is rewriting many of the core races to better fit into my setting. The orcs have been finished for some time, but I haven't yet gotten around to posting them, just wanted to post a little introduction to the setting along with them (going to...

Thanks alot for the reply Reveille and Ardentmoth. And naturally you're free to snatch to your heart's content, Reveille. The Soul Link spells were indeed designed to be flavourful, perhaps even adventure-creating in their disposition. You can easily imagine quite a bit of adventure hooks...

Thanks for the reply Set and Ardent. Set, the idea for a spell that delays animation is kinda cool, I'll definitely snatch it and write it up, will probably add it a little bit later. Ardent, its true indeed that sometimes D20 doesn't really give options for using the laws of physics, even in...

Howdy! I agree with Skelso that you get a better amount of feedback from short posts (I just kinda suck at making short threads myself, but oh well). A little bit of nitpicking, I wouldn't say "negative" if you receive a penalty to a skill as a racial disadvantage, I would just say a penalty...
