Alright, cool. Take a look at it when you find some time (between those 12 hr work days, bleah!) and I'll wait for the feedback. Just a matter of semantics, but for consistency's sake I like keeping everything rounded down, hence the 1+Level/2 formula. Still, we're thinking along the same...

I haven't ignored it. I've intentionally dropped it! :lol: IMC currently all cross-class ranks cost 1 SP, just like class ranks do. My players & I are very happy with the change. They've been able to buy the skills they want to develop their characters and I've seen a more diverse array of...

Good! Or rather, I'm glad I'm not missing something. :p I'm not interested in #1 enough, and #2 isn't distinct enough, IMO, to keep things more complicated. BTW, this: made me chuckle! :D Well, I've tried to do that already, though there are a lot of ways to do the chains and the prereqs...

Thanks much for hosting the files! That's definitely what I'm working towards. Well, I'm not sure if we're talking about the same thing, but I think I've essentially done that with the Near-Core & DrSpunj sheets. The Core Feats sheet outlines how I converted all the class abilities into...

Videssian, I completely agree that the groups are a bit too complex and need some work. While I think I understand why UA has so many different groups, I want tinker with them a bit, too. I like most of ouini's Basic list, mostly because it's what I was thinking of changing it to! :) I see the...

ouini, reading back through my responses to SSquirrel I realized that we're taking similar approaches to the class abilities, with some important differences. I'm basically converting all class abilities into feat paths. I'm trying to link them only when absolutely necessary for the abilities...

Oo, brutal. Good luck with the new job! :) When you get a chance, can you provide links to the new/updated files I sent you so others can download them? Right. I totally agree! It's been quite awhile since I started this thread, and I haven't read back through it recently, so I'm not sure if...

Yeah, and I had to address that with my "feat chain" layout as well. Not the best example but one that comes to mind readily are the Bard Songs. While all of them require Bardic Music up front, there are easily two separate sets of abilities there: the Fascinate path and the Courage path. The...

Well, then you've just admitted that you feel Fighters & Rogues are less powerful than Rangers. :) Either way, the new Ranger's much better. Not front-loaded and the Favored Enemy mechanic works a lot better. Go here and check out the 3.5 Ranger if you haven't already done so. If you remember...

Just so everyone's on the same page I thought I'd type up the UA Weapon Groups. Axes: handaxe, battleaxe, greataxe, dwarven waraxe (2-handed use) Basic: club, dagger, quarterstaff Bows: shortbow, longbow, composite shortbow, composite longbow Claw Weapons: punching dagger, spiked gauntlet...

While I've got some time I thought I'd hammer out the Ranger, too. Level 1 Hit Points: 8 (4 free, +4 pts) BAB: +1 (+.5 free, +.5 for +4 pts) SPs: (6+IntMod)x4 (+2 free, +4 pts) F/R/W Saves: +2/+2/+0 (+2 free, +2 pts) W/A Profs: Simple Weapons, Swords & Bows; Light Armor & Shields (Basic Weapons...

Okay, so here's my attempt at the first four levels of the Core Barbarian. Level 1 Hit Points: 8 (4 free, +8 pts) BAB: +1 (+.5 free, +.5 for +4 pts) SPs: (4+IntMod)x4 (+2 free, +2 pts) F/R/W Saves: +2/+0/+0 (+2 free, +0 pts) W/A Profs: Simple Weapons, Axes & Bows; Light & Medium Armor & Shields...

Ah. Then I think you need to remove the line. All characters also get feats at 3rd, 6th, etc. but you don't talk about those, nor do you mention anything about the free Ability point increase all characters get every 4th level. Listing "Gain 1 feat" is very deceiving in this regard. Okay, just...

Okay, ouini, you can correct me if I use your system incorrectly, but here are my quick calculations for a Rogue through the first few levels. Level 1 Hit Points: 6 (4 free, +2 pts) BAB: +0 (+.5 free, +0 pts) SPs: (8+IntMod)x4 (+2 free, +6 pts) F/R/W Saves: +0/+2/+0 (+2 free, +0 pts) W/A Profs...

Interesting. Some random, initial thoughts... That's in addition to the General 1st-level feat that every PC gets, right? What are the limitations on that 1 feat? Can it be either a Fighter Feat or a Non-Fighter feat? What about the beginning of an Ability chain? I'm starting to work through...

I think you need to clarify that the poll is referring to 3.0 Psionics, and not the 3.5 XPH. I always answer polls before I read too much of the thread (so I don't get too biased by the comments) and with the recent release of the XPH I just assumed that's what you were asking about. I answered...

Which, as you know, the Core rules allow you to do. It's not really any sillier to me than going 19 levels as a Fighter/Rogue and deciding at the end of your career that you're going to pick up all the training that goes a long with being a Wizard to cast some magic at your 20th level. The...

@ouini & SSquirrel: The problem I have with that approach is that it's not at all unbalancing to be able to, for example, Rage 3x/day right from the start. Extra Rage is a feat that first appeared in MotW and has been reprinted in the Complete Warrior. It allows 2 additional uses of Rage per...

... [ooc: Then I'd prefer the chain shirt, Gladius, since I can always cast Bash on my own if I feel it's important. Tash doesn't have that choice, will greatly benefit from Bash, and will likely keep his heavy armor. Have fun on your trip, Erekose! Going anywhere really cool that I should be...

Kalythar, Litorian Mage Blade "Aye, let's get what we came for and get Tash back to Master Mollen. I'd like to replace a couple of the arrows I used but not sure what else I really need. What are we in need of, anyway?" {ooc - @Erekose: Is the magical chainmail you originally forgot to...
