A little of both, with some Eldritch Knight thrown in for good measure. Off the cuff, use the Blackguard's main stats and the Assassin's spellcasting for a "Champion of Vecna" PrC.

No. It's a great power inline with the Archmage's other abilities. This shouldn't be a feat (well, maybe a +1 spell level metamagic feat...) The High Arcana should be fairly low--Dispel Magic is 3rd, and you're effectivly allowing the Archmage to cast Dispel Magic at will, so why not 3rd...

See d20-Modern; the MSRD has some rather nice martial arts feats. (You may have to edit what you've got to make them fit, but they do work fairly nicely.)

IIRC, they took that rule out. All items are now sized--the rules for randomly determining what size are printed once, in the magic items chapter of the new DMG.

That's one of the dead-horse snags, actually. It's very plausible that a program designed to read data sets of a specific type--like one that reads "stat blocks"--could be construted by a court to be "derivitive" of the data set--in this case, the SRD, meaning the program (or part of the...

Re: Women in gaming Ok, but it has to be a woman. Buy her an 18 starting charisma, and balance out the others. Be human. Snag spell focus (Evocation), greater spell focus (Evocation), Weapon Focus (ray), etc. with your feats. Pick combat spells. Come up with a snappy name, a tagline, and...

Let me show you the dead horse. As has been said above, the d20STL does have a prohibition against this kind of thing, and this topic has been beaten to death (many times) on OGF-L. However, I've been there to see the beating, and the end result is: you CAN do it, but only if you use ONLY the...

Short high-school chemistry lesson: pH is a measure of acidty/baseness, with distilled water having a pH of 7---neither an acid nor a base. The further away from 7 you get the more reactive the chemical is. "standard acid" probably has a pH very below 1--the kind of highly caustic materal...

Well, start by pointing out that the SRD is at www.wizards.com/d20 , not the OGL site. (That one's out of date.) Then, tell him that you're using IP licensed by the OGL, and that the OGL gives no restrictions on reproduction of the SRD, in print or on a website. Feel free to tell him that...

I have some, bad, morale guidelines on my 'site. Going to re-work them one of these days. In a nutshell... Whenever the monsters might run away--when an ally or leader goes down, when powerful magic is used against them, etc.--make a Fortitude Save, DC 10 + 1/2 opponent's ECL. (For PCs, this...

Yep. IMC, I use a "engagement" model. Rather than moving along a map, characters "egage" their opponents, and AoO / movement works appropriately.

Not really. You just couldn't gain levels through experience. Vampire already has quite a "level-based" system: generation.

Re: Re: What's White Wolf got up its sleeve? Celerity (and similiarly worked mechanics) soured my tastes for Storyteller for quite awhile. (Thank god Exaulted has nothing like it.) That said, SSS has the EQ Haste rules, which stack rather well, and could be used to translate Celerity rather...

Re: Re: [3.5] lamest terminology change? Not that I know of. The range is the furthest that you can target/control the spell--not the furthest that the spell can have an effect. Two great examples of this are illusions (which can only be created or controled within range) and continual flame...

Custom-made sheet I have an auto-calculating sheet for As Above, So Below . It spits out the same format for each player's sheet, and does most of the math for them. If I get clever, I'll write a wizard to speed character generation... but I've got to re-do the thing anyway, as it's got...

Hate to break this to you, but rules for that were in 3.0, too. What I want to know is--where are all the d12s in the weapon-size table, darnit!

No. The 3.5 SRD is for that. The DMG. It's got the most new material, and the most non-OGC material--including a few tweaks to the XP award system and sample locations for the planes. Don't worry, it is. Once again they're fixing arbitrary rules to "let's pretend", writing moderately...

Yes. When you turn into a bear, your Str, Con, and Dex all change. (You should gain the new form's racial modifiers, not their "average scores." @#$!%...) When you change back to human, your ability scores change back--they lose the modifier that they got from being a bear. If you have other...

It doesn't really make sense with the way the rules are set-up. If a skill was a combat element, it'd be a fairly universal thing; skills should be for bits not covered by other parts of the system. For dueling (which is really what you're talking about) I have "combat style" feats (replace...

Why? It's a penalty reduction, not a real bonus. A characer can get similar "bonuses" just by getting Armor Proficincy (Heavy). Heck, a TWF can get +8 of "bonuses" just by taking Exotic Weapon (Something Light). Also, which Andy are we talking about? 'cause Andy Smith did the SRD, not the...
