    Favortite Spells (arcane)

    Purely my favorites for each level. I take these spells with every character I make. 0. Prestigitation. It cooks, it cleans, it does your laundry! Plus, it's fun being the only player not covered in gelatenous slime after a fight, then asking the other players to pay you for cleaning them off...

    WOW d20 - Tinker Base Class

    so... you don't like the class? darjr, any advice on how you think the class could have been improved? I've already set up a rule so that you can reduce Malfunction RAtings to 0, so for example that Mech wouldn't have freezed up at all in combat.

    The 2nd best fighter...

    I know that the archer variant isn't very strong, I like very few of the Fighter variants personally. I was just saying it was an option he could take that could fit with the concept of a high-Dex archer fighter. Still, you have to admit that with all those different kinds of arrows you can...

    Ultimate Magic - Words of Power Playtest

    Thanks for the complement, RangerWickett. I kinda feel like magic should be a little less about the BOOM and more about the subtle, utility stuff like invisibility, reading magic, dispelling, warding, that kinda stuff. Putting Mages into more of a supportive, yet necessary, role in a party is...

    The 2nd best fighter...

    I agree with StreamOfTheSky, archery is a completely viable dex-based fighter style. For equipment, I'd recommend investing in dex-boosting magical items, a magic bow, and heavy mithral armor. If you allow custom magical items using the core rules, you can equip your character with fun and...

    Ultimate Magic - Words of Power Playtest

    True... in fact, if you restructures the system slightly, you could create an entirely new system for spellcasting, based less on spell levels and more on just how strong, and how many, effects you can use at once in a spell. Maybe, if done right, casters could (dare I say it) finally be...

    Oops, double post. Sorry!

    Pathfinder 1E Incarnum in Pathfinder

    Thanks for taking a look at it Paradox42, that means a lot to me. No, I haven't playtested them yet, though I plan to next time I play. I design character a lot in my spare time, so I think I'm a pretty good judge of these things, and they look really fun. My only concern is the Incarnum...

    Ultimate Magic - Words of Power Playtest

    Okay, I must have missed that part. Regardless, I don't feel like I could accurately playtest this unless I had all of the spell effects to play around with. Maybe that's just me, but I kinda need to see the whole thing before I can really judge it or use it. As it is, it's a standard versatile...

    Pathfinder 1E Incarnum in Pathfinder

    Necrocarnate Base Class (Pathfinder) Here's a quick write-up for a Necrocarnate base class. I changed how the Chakra slot progression went, so the player gets more freedom. It's also a Charisma-based Meldshaper, which is awesome. THe class is conditional on the idea that maximum Essentia...

    Pathfinder 1E Incarnum in Pathfinder

    These are awesome! Definitely a lot of fun to play, I'll be sure to try one out sometime in an upcoming pathfinder 1-shot. Here is my question. What about the maximum essentia cap that all Meldshapers have? I always found that to be much too low, and very feat intensive to increase. Even with...

    Ultimate Magic - Words of Power Playtest

    Flexible but complex. I hope there are more base effects than this, because there were things I found lacking: Healing, undead creation and control, creating objects, shapeshifting, causing negative levels, teleporting, growing and shrinking things... just to name a few. I think that's kinda...

    Best Practices for running single-player (or two-player) campaigns

    I've run games with two people, neither of which Gestalted, and they handled things just fine. A Gestalt with a companion would proably be okay too. Personally, I love the Skilled Leadership feats (fan-made, you can find them online). You can take them as of 1st level, but they don't give...

    WOW d20 - Tinker Base Class

    Thanks for the feedback Doctor DM. I've played the Inker from the Warcraft book, and it's a lot of fun to play as well. I was 5th level and I burned down a small fleet of pirate ships with 6d6 damage fire bombs that exploded in a 15 foot radius. The WOW Tinker does 1d6 damage per 3 TL, or 1d8...

    WOW d20 - Tinker Base Class

    I'm going to be playing in an advanced technology D&D campaign. Same rules as standard 3.5, only with a steampunk pallet-swap, if you will. Naturally, I decided to play a Tinker from the WOW d20 book. First of all, has anyone played this class before? I understand the rules for it, but at some...

    Pathfinder 1E Leveling and combat in Pathfinder

    frankthedm, that's a good idea, using the slower table. What I'll do is I'll figure out how much they got from combat, find the difference, and have the social encounters for a bit add up to that so as they don't seem to level slower at first. Skeld, I have completely converted every single...

    Pathfinder 1E Leveling and combat in Pathfinder

    Mild spoilers ahead for an old AD&D module. After running two Pathfinder sessions with 3rd level characters (using an updated version of Night of the Walking Dead from AD&D Ravenloft), the party killed a Crocodile, 3 giant frogs, and nearly a dozen ghouls. After 3 combat encounters, the party...

    Weapons of Legacy

    Tauric, I like the abilities, I just think you could space out the uses a bit more. You seem to be only giving benefits at even levels, what about skill bonuses or something eimilar at the odd levels? Skill bonuses are really cheap, and bonuses to Acrobatics and Fly would make sense, seeing what...

    Weapons of Legacy

    Okay Tauric, that looks like a really good weapon, I just have a couple of ideas. 1: Have the weapon gain gradually better enhancement bonuses. It should probably end up around a +5 total enhancement bonus, to keep it in line with what other characters get. 2: Consider giving lower numbers of...

    Weapons of Legacy

    Vow of Poverty is from the Book of Exalted Deeds (Book of Exalted Cheese, for its ridiculously powerful rules). Vow of Poverty is a feat that gives insanely good benefits over time, though you cannot own any items besides basic clothing and (maybe) a club. Of course, donating your gold to a...
