..saying "no, I'm not going to let my PC be tortured, period" seems...munchkiny? Sort of the equivalent of throwing a fit when your character takes damage, or something else doesn't go your way. Actually, I agree with the above point. When you make a PC, you include HP. That means you accept...

This is the method I've used prior to the VD book He he he... I have always dwelt in the darkness.......... 1st time: PC was told - we will brand you for every lie you tell. Mutilation always sucks. They then proceeded to brand him - starting on the arch of his feet, to the palms, then the...

Cool! Thanks for the feedback - I'm considering dropping the torchman's HD to 2 (4 hd and 8 damage reduction is just so.... awful! The lack of reach should his torch be cut is a nice weakness, but I'd still think him too powerful otherwise. I'm also considering dropping his STR 2. The...

I'm putting together an adventure and was looking for feedback to some of my constructs... there are going to be 4 unique constructs when I'm done, but I'm looking for your thoughts (and to see if I did them correctly) Minor Background: in a much larger temple complex, the priests have their...

I noticed that. It used to be, all undead had a corporeal life form they had been before becoming undead - but not so now. The walking graveyard, the gravecrawler, crimson mist (....damn, memory failing, must upgrade..my..brain) others I can not remember. When did this switch happen? I'm...

Rather then be positive, I'll start by being a bastard: The tomb of horrors may be good - but 1) The artwork is so bad I'd not buy that book except under threat 2) They commit a grave sin (also committed in FF or MMII, not sure which) - they have a small sized animal (The 'golden gorger' is...

..But you have yet to give me a reason why, aside from referencing savage species, a non core source that I dont have access to to evaluate Ack. ..well, your system rates spells solely according to their spell level, with no thought given to actual usefulness... 1) the pricing is for 1/day...

As I said - if you eye ball it, it comes down to 'this feels like that, I think it is..." You are adding things NOT in the PHB, so how can I compare them w/out resorting to opinion you have already refuted? I said... Natural armor is damn fine - too good for the balance Speak with plants...

:eek: ...and he beheld the beast - with 3 horns and 3 tongues - and its 3 arms laden with the three-fold bane of civilization – the unholy trinity of despair - the TV, pop-culture, and the spell checker. Of these, the spell checker is the beast's hook into the hearts of men, for their conscious...

The PHB does not provide a numeric framework to compare the racial abilities and their cumalitive worth. You can not compare it in pure PH terms - it will have to boil down to 'I think this is roughly equal to that, cause of this'. We tried that already with the -2 dex/+2 natural armor - and...

I love my familiars! :D Balphagor has a tree frog named Smaug. He is my conscience - has a higher wisdom then me, and is shy but brave. I introduce him to others. I craft magic items for him, as well as a construct for his convenience. He gets a share of my treasure and has, currently, a...

Not exactly the same - but in a 2 player (& a DM) game, me & the other player met each other for the first time and introduced ourselves - Wolfgang and Wolfgar! Wolfgar declared them pack brothers! Not intentional - we hadn't known what the other was bringing or what the names had been. Even...

½ Low light vision 2 Bark skin +2 ac 2 Speak with plants (an arbitrary value I’m assigning it - well under $ for this ability - call it a discount) ½ Plant affinity 1½ Skills ¼ Racial hide in forest bonus 2 Wisdom bonus +2 -1 Dexterity penalty –2 7 ¾ total – over the top by my system...

By saying the natural armor negates the dex penalty - I mean the +2 natural armor is as good or better then +2 dex. True - the dex gives +1 ac, initiative, skill rolls, and reflex save. Very nice. But natural armor is hard to come by - works all the time, and is stackable. Savage species...

Hey - what does that feat do (and the pre-reqs)! I've got a monk who would love to be able to make 2 handed strikes (yep, a power attack monk)

..It is not a spell-like ability in the mechanical sense. But it still allows the ability to act as if under the spell. In my book, it is the same thing for power level evaluation. ...Accept that it isnt. One facet out of 3 is. Again, let us not debate AC source bonuses. All I am saying is...

to multi-class or not Cleric is the uber power multi class choice! Planning: extend meta feat! War: martial weapon & weapon focus! Luck: reroll 1/day! I do not have my books w/me, but I believe there is another domain that grants a meta feat, as well as other domain abilities not dependent on...

I assume he meant speak w/plants, a 3rd lv druid spell, 4th lv bard. MY assumption here is that the race gets one penalty (-2 dex) which is negated by a bonus. It is no good vs touch, but stacks with worn armor & there when you are flat footed. I'm not debating if one type of ac is better...

This race is the uber druid race (also a good ranger). Why play a druid of a different race - this one has unlimited speak w/plants and a wisdom bonus - the prime stat of a druid. I think it overpowers that class to exclusion. Consider: the +2 wis is better then the feat spell prodigy (gain...
