Yeah, the rule is that for one hitdie monsters, class levels replace the racial hitdie. Lycanthropes are a weird edge case.. you still replace the base hitdie with class levels (if any), but then you add more racial hitdice too. BTW, Lycanthropes are awesome. I played a Dwarven Werebear...

Miscellaneous items resize. Arms and armor do not. A +1 equivalent enhancement on either allows resizing as a standard action. By resize I assume you mean PC/NPC sizes (small, medium, large, huge...). For people of the same size... unless it is a race-specific or otherwise unique item, it...

Ok, maybe not ultimate, but it sounded catchy ;) Here's a feat that I think would be a huge help for mid to high level fighters. Old Dog, New Tricks [Fighter] Prerequisites: Fighter 10th level (maybe higher? 12? 14?) Your experience in combat allows you to pick up new techniques quickly...

Ok, so it's possible at really high levels with enough cheese. With the first attack. What about with the second? Third? Fourth? And what about before 20th? Level 8? 12? Your attack bonus is going to be *much* lower, because you won't have a +6 strength item, a +5 book, or a +5 magic...

Let's see.... 18 strength to start, +5 from levels, +8 from mighty rage, +6 from magic item = 37 strength = +13 to hit. +5 magic item, +1 weapon focus.... I'm running out of plusses here... that's +19 to hit. That still only hits 35 AC on a 16, and that's the best attacker in the game, a...

*lol* Bring the DMG to work? Actually, I wrote up an excel spreadsheet that calculates XP automatically. Fill in party members and their levels, and fill in monster CRs. Bam, done. Was a real pain typing out the XP table, but it's awesome once it's done. -The Souljourner

Which is pretty damn generous, to be honest. Try holding your breath for a minute, even just sitting there at the computer. It's tough. I can just about do it... of course, by the rules, that means I have a con of 5, which I'm pretty sure is not the case. And while swimming? I was on the...

Bards are really rough with 25 point buy. I love bards, but I don't think I could manage one on 25 points. 30 points is probably my limit for bards. Then again, that poor paladin player... good lord. Rogues are cool. I actually like pure rogue over rogue/fighter, because a rogue's sneak...

I find that people tend to way over-nerf mixed classes like this. Here's the problem: fighter 4 wizard 6 eldritch knight 10. 17 BAB, 8th level spells. Plus 4 fighter bonus feats (one of which can be weapon specialization) and a wizard bonus feat and a familiar and scribe scroll. That's using...

You can always choose not to use full BAB or any other ability (perhaps with some exceptions), it's ridiculous to say otherwise. Are you telling me a pro basketball player can't choose to miss a dunk? Whether or not you can convince someone that you're actually trying your hardest while you do...

The druid in our party didn't take it at 6th because he wanted leadership instead. We pestered him for 3 levels because he never used wildshape in combat because it meant he couldn't cast spells (and his cohorts kept leaving, so he was getting nothing out of leadership). So half the time he'd...

Probably the writer thought that clerics could only summon good aligned monsters with the spell. That or they didn't realize clerics got summon monster at all. Regardless, it needs fixing. I like the idea of adding a bunch of specialized spells to the cleric's spell list... but I'm not sure...

Sweet... does it have a Con score? What's it's movement rate? Any other info? :) -The Souljourner

10 feet per round is agonizingly slow. And if a solid cube of stone can be animated to move at 20' per round, a tree using its roots to move should be able to do at least as well. One of the cool things I was thinking of was making a tree druid. If the caster of awaken has a rod of empower...

Too bad. I have a Radiant Servant who might have taken that if it were slightly better thought out. Maybe I'll propose some changes in the house rules forum. -The Souljourner

My friends and I got into a funny conversation about Awaken, and it got me thinking about how cool it would be to have an awakened tree as an NPC (or even a PC! :cool: ). However, the rules seem pretty sketchy. First and foremost, is there a clarification anywhere? The pertinent text of...

bump, because I'd really like to hear from someone else.... is this just a poorly thought-out feat, or are we missing something here?

Captain, sensors show we're being scanned!

Hrm, good point. I was going to point out that clerics can't cast the spell to bring creatures with an alignment opposed to their own... but elementals are neutral, and therefor not subject to that problem. Anyone else care to point out something we've missed? Of course, it's almost worth it...

A feat that gives you 10 feats? I think not. A feat that gives you a divine rank? I think not. Divine ranks should come from in-game quests and have absolutely nothing to do with the rules system. Feats that give more feats are just a bad idea. As for Vow of Peace... PCs should pretty much...
