No, no. They'd let their friend die for the last man standing bonus. :D EXP isn't based on final hit. But really, that's why characters have alignment. In that situation, I would reward proper role-playing, based on alignment. Now, now, your Scrivener example holds up better than this one...

Wow, this has been a while. I kind of spaced, started writing papers, and forgot that I wrote this. Tagnik: Bookmarked and added to my notes. I'll look over this after I get done with my kanji homework. Claudius Gaius: Oh, yes, and I forgot another key point. My players don't get to learn the...

I never remember hearing anything about Satyrs being especially dexterous. Doesn't Lucy catch one in The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe? Isn't she about seven at the time? And why, why for the love of Gygax, do they earn a speed bonus? So... I may be alone in thinking +2 adjustments to a...

Congratulations. You just won the thread, and I'm bookmarking this.

This is not a problem with the rule. This is a problem with the chain.

Oh, and another thought: The way I handle death is that people who hit zero go into shock. At this point, those who hit you aren't hitting a person, they're hitting a (mostly) inanimate object. First aid is better at fixing this than low-level magic, making it useful. Characters bleed out...

A thought: You said that power attacking benefits two-handed fighting too much. From my experience, that's because most weapons that involve power over finesse simply work considerably better when wielded with two hands, thus the Str bonus. Power attacking with a rapier? Simply doesn't work. I...

Okay guys, background first. I'm pretty much redoing everything (though not, necessarily, in ways that are entirely new) to create a system that suits my needs; I suppose that I've just had it with every system I've played in. But each of these systems has, fundamentally, added things to what I...

First, I want to know exactly what you're doing, because it sounds excellent. Second, I wanna play! Paladins are holy warriors, who can detect the presence of evil in their enemies and strike back against it. They are also initiate healers, capable of sending holy light from their hands to...

It's finals week. I'm sorry.

Uh, yeah. In my little I'm-never-actually-going-to-finish-this variant, Dexterity is a combination of Grace (agility) and Stamina (Constitution) that refers only to manual dexterity. It makes Weapon Finesse fun, since everything is completely different.

You know, I think we need a new rule on this forum. Whenever someone posts a prestige class, they should have to post a minimum level to enter the class, as they've calculated it based on pre-reqs. And, on topic, I honestly don't know for this PrC. I'm against death spells in general, but it...

I did something like this. I usually made mine less combat oriented, though, but more powerful. Here, for one of my few combat-related examples, are halflings (which I designed more like kender) Level 5, Look! A distraction!: Halflings are annoying. Most of the time, they’re only mild nuisances...

I also like the Karma thing. I'll show that to my DM when I get back to school. Props to your DM. One of mine right now is a story teller dealing with a whole party of powergamers and doesn't know what to do. I'm ... the only player who knows how to RP as well as #-crunch, and so I've been...

*chuckle* Yeah, this spell looks *chuckle* fine to me, same as above. Heheh, it's a spell that provides the material component for its next use.

Run something by me. The text says that the minimum crit range is 20, but if he's getting this at 10th level, will it ever be worse than 18-20? Or does it start at 20, and hit 16-20 at 31st level? Slightly muddled (as any spell that increases in power by caster level is, but more so), don't you...

This is only going to lead to racism, I hope you know. "You're going to marry a human? I forbid it! I won't have my grandchildren growing up with an inferior stat array, and I'm sure his parents agree." Human and elf are balanced. Human is customization galore; elf is magic focused. There...

The following is my start of an attempt to change the magic system. Good for a read, a bit of humor, but not much here yet. Introduction “Magic cannot be inferred; it cannot be understood, analyzed or manipulated unless one has a firm grasp of mathematics, physics and logic. Mathematics because...

I... really wish people would stop having this reaction to my humor. And for the record, yeah. I removed all 1/day skills for which I couldn't come up with a reason why they would be 1/day. To give a few examples, Barbarians kept the per day limit because of physical limits of the human body...

This is just my suggestion, since I have a habit of being nit-picky for realism over game-balance reasons. If game balance is more important, than just ignore me. Joe: Okay, why do you feel that you're qualified to join our party? Stabbitas: Well, I am a master of the spear. Once I draw blood...
