    [AU] Lost Dreams [Closing Down]

    Hey! Real Life Happens! So don't sweat it. A new baby and a new job both take a lot of time, and speaking from experience it's easy to mistakenly believe you'll have enough time for other things (especially personal time :(). I'm certainly disappointed things won't continue because I enjoyed...

    Eaglesford Campaign: "Strange Lights"

    Just thought I'd post (for those that are lurking) that last Wednesday's session brought another death. Though Rowan is high enough level to cast Reincarnate now, there were...difficulties...with that approach this time around. You'll have to wait for the Story Hour update for more specifics as...

    DrSpunj's Class Balance Spreadsheet

    Here's the latest files! Here's all five files in their most current incarnations. To make them easier to download I've also included a bundled folder of all five files called "DrSpunj's Classless System". Not too many tweaks that I can think. I ended up pricing Defense a bit cheaper at 1st...

    [AU] Lost Dreams [Closing Down]

    Okay, I just learned last night that you can actually kill a Troll whose been dropped from subdual/nonlethal damage by Coup de Grace'ing it. It's in the Regeneration Ability section in the back of the Monster Manual. I'd always thought you had to burn (with fire or acid) every last little bit or...

    Stats, how you come about it!

    I'm trying something very similar for my new campaign, but going with a total of +9 (must be from 3-18 before Racial Mods) and only allowing 2 Odd scores, 4 Even. I figured with Point-Buy that would be the equivalent of [15, 15, 14, 14, 12, 10] which is a respectable (if boring, IMO) 34 pts, but...

    DrSpunj's Class Balance Spreadsheet

    I just wanted to post the results of the combat. Mr. "You can't hit me!" wasn't overly effective...in any party role. His 20' base speed meant he was one of the last to engage the enemy in both battles, and hit low hit points meant that the area effect attacks and/or indirect damage he took from...

    [AU] Lost Dreams: The Stone Troll

    Kalythar repeats his gruesome performance on the Ice Troll's closest arm, tosses it in the fire and makes sure the head is burning well. He's still dividing his attention between those tasks and the battle raging on the other side of the fire, ready to rush in and aid them if things take a turn...

    Creating a 'point buy' for prestige classes

    RIGHT! :D That's what I'm working towards. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. DrSpunj

    Creating a 'point buy' for prestige classes

    It's not a table, but I've put a lot of work with some help from people here in this forum into a spreadsheet that allows you to do something very similar. If you haven't already, I ask you to take a quick look at what I've come up with so far starting with the Core Classes (as opposed to...

    DrSpunj's Class Balance Spreadsheet

    Just wondering if ouini has finished his Feat Sheet. Please post if so. On this end I'm running a one-shot Gladiatorial Fights! tomorrow night for the group I usually play in (the DM is absent this week) and a few of the players are using my Classless Generator to come up with their PCs. I've...

    [AU] Lost Dreams: The Stone Troll

    Kalythar, Litorian Mage Blade 4 "Oh sure, leave me the dirty work, Korwin!", giving him a quick grin before turning back to the carcass at his feet. Looking down at the large bloody mass and noting the slow but steady closing of skin laid open but a few moments before, Kalythar raises Glacial...

    [AU] Lost Dreams: The Stone Troll

    Kalythar, Litorian Mage Blade 4 "Look, Korwin! This one wants to dance with us! I think he's showing us the Troll Polka! I wonder if I can cut in?" {OOC: Kalythar takes another swing at the beast, presumably still flanking it with Korwin. To-hit bonuses: +9 with athame, +2 from Flanking...

    DrSpunj's Class Balance Spreadsheet

    Please go ahead, on the condition that you attach your version here when it's in a workable form. I'm interested to see how our versions differ. I know we've talked before about the ads & disads of Ability Prereqs and I don't believe you were all that thrilled with them, but when you can't tie...

    DrSpunj's Class Balance Spreadsheet

    I bought it the day it came out. I'd been keeping an eye out for it. He does some pretty cool stuff but he created his system on the primary assumption that Core was balanced, then came up with numbers that fit that scenario. Since my underlying assumption was that things were not balanced, I'm...

    A little system for selling magic items

    Ditto that! Along with Morrus' Diplomacy suggestion. Thanks. DrSpunj

    DrSpunj's Class Balance Spreadsheet

    Here's my first pass at converting the prereqs to something along the lines of Thanee's suggestions. There are only 2 things to remember when looking down the lefthand column: 1) Any feat name followed by a + you can take multiple times, it's effects stack. However, you can take it no more...

    DrSpunj's Class Balance Spreadsheet

    Here's the original link where I got it: http://home.pacbell.net/jdchambe/ArcanaUnearthedAlternateSpellProgression.doc His derivations are really pretty simple. If you compare the Magister and Mage Blade tables (what I'm using for Advanced/Full & Basic/Half magic, respectively) you'll notice...

    DrSpunj's Class Balance Spreadsheet

    And sure enough, I was wrong. The Mage Blade progression that I'm basing Basic Magic on does indeed give access to higher level spells with a high casting ability score, starting right off at level 1! :p But, the good news is the fix only took about 3 whole minutes of work. Please let me know...

    Thanee's Ultra Modern / no Base Classes

    I ended up increasing BAB quite a bit for my D&D sheets. Everyone gets what a Commoner gets for free. You spend CPs over and above that to become heroic! :) So +1 BAB every other level is free. For a +1 BAB at odd levels it costs 4 CPs. +1 Defense is free every third level (3, 6, 9, etc.) and...

    Thanee's Ultra Modern / no Base Classes

    Your welcome! And thanks to Thanee for pointing me towards d20 Modern. I had very much ignored the entire rules set except for just before the 3.5 release when many of the expected rule changes seemed to be mined/borrowed from d20 Modern. While the class setup is certainly very different I'm...
