Seems like skills aside, he'd have been better off to start in his casting class, especially if he can't go back to Monk and will take multiclassing penalties going anywere else. Maybe Monk to whatever level you want (I like 9, but for this concept I might go to 5 or 6 depending on what class...

I would think it works better in lower level games. Its one of the tweaks I've considered because my group tends to concentrate on the first 10 levels. I thought about using it in the swashbuckler game I'm starting up on Sunday, but ultimately I went another route. Personally, I kind of like...

I like Elephant's idea. I think AE does it that way. My group uses an Opposed Roll (at least, that's how we did it last session), which is actually the AE Tumbling rule, but it worked pretty well. It still gives the edge to the casters except where they're outmatched by their melee...

Seconded.

How would you determine how far you've fallen before the check though? Unless the pit is deep enough that you're falling for mulitple rounds, if its +1 per 5' I'd be trying to catch in the first 5'. There doesn't seem to be much incentive to wait until you're 60' down. I'm leaning more...

I'd like to buy stock in your company, hong.

Ahahahahahhahahahahahahhahah... hahahahahahahahahahaha... heahaheheheheh... heh... heh... uh... erm... This was a fun game to run. Four sessions, two TPK's, and after two years I still have players who will bring this game up, for good or for ill. I posted most of my notes for it in a...

Wait a minute, Trans... that doesn't make any sense at all. I mean, where would a milk maid learn to read poetry? Other than that, very cool.

I have two wish stories, both of which I wasn't at the game for and heard about later. These were back in the previous editions, when there were less restrictions on wishes. Probably the most effective wish I saw a character wished for all the gold in a particular enemy kingdom to turn...

No. But... Now I can't think of anything else!

If you're going to go STR based for a monk, take Power Attack. Use one end of a quarterstaff as a two hand weapon for that sweet 2:1 ratio as part of your flurry.

Well, that'd be like going full Expertise for a couple of rounds and then switching it up and going full Power. But if you were going 2 in Expertise and 2 in Power in the same round, you'd be swinging (slightly more) wildly while remaining (slightly more) defensive. It would be more dramatic...

It seems like it'd be all over the place. You'd have a guy dodging about sacrificing accuracy for defense, and at the same time making wild swings that were sacrificing accuracy for power. I'd probably still limit it to BAB though. That's the first thought that pops in my head. So a 5th...

Too rich for my blood. Mega-Bloks are the unemployed cousin to the LEGO empire. Though they do have the Dragons line and the POTC license, and I keep my eye on the discount aisles. I did play in a game where the GM had a LEGO collection, and we'd build our characters out of LEGO men. (My...

I saw the deck plans. Very awesome.

I think I'll wait for the 5D centipede. Although to quote Fry, I'm not sure I want to pay for dimensions I won't be using.

See Man of Steel, Woman of Kleenex for the problems of a pubescent Superman. (There's going to be lots of microscopic holes in Smallville, I'd say.) Alan Moore did a comic about a police force in a city where everybody had superpowers. Top Ten? Something like that. A friend of mine had it...

I distinctly remember an old 1e module with a drow caravan generator table in it, but I can't for the life of my remember which module it was in. Compounding my frustration, I'm pretty sure I owned it at one time but looking through my bookshelf has so far been a fruitless endeavor (except I...

It doesn't seem like it would be that big a deal in my group, but then I'll cast pretty far and wide for things to use as minis in games. (When the party of DDM and Heroclix is fighting a MacFarlane dragon from the deck of a Mega-Blocks pirate ship, while dollar store plastic spiders crawl over...

Well, I'll suggest what I always suggest: the Monk/Barbarian. Go about 9 levels or so in Monk, lose faith with order and succumb to the rage in your half-human heart, go Chaotic and start taking Barbarian levels. I went the Stunning Fist/Spring Attack route, but a grappler would have been...
