I've never heard of FLCL, but the whole thing seems fairly balanced. I wouldn't mind a bardic ability or two thrown in, and maybe some of the deflect abilities removed to make room. Also, what about generating sonic booms from the guitar? I guess the only real problem I have is that it is a lot...

Concerning the ugliness of the wound, it's a mostly vertical slash about 4 inches high. Apparently the character is going to cover the wound with a bandana wrapped lopsidedly around his head, so there shouldn't be any penalty to social checks. In addition, the character is described as...

Last session in my 3.5 game, a character's eye was slashed out. What would be an appropriate penalty here? So far, I'm considering a flat -4 to search and spot, and a -1 on ranged attacks per 30 feet of distance. I'm also thinking about adding on a -4 to maximum hit points, since it's an injury...

For me, Intelligence is raw mental processing power, while Charisma is force of will. Wisdom represents your degree of perception and understanding of the world. It's both how well you see, and how you interpret what you see.

The hit point system works, but I think it would be nice if players got to choose whether it represented actual hits or more like plot armor. I don't like the idea of my level 5 character actually being stabbed eight times and still standing, I'd rather it was more like Plot Armor. What if...

I'd recommend focusing on long-duration buff spells and protective wards. If you're running 3-4 encounters a day having buffs that last 10 min/level and 1 hour per level will save your life (and it's always nice to have party support abilities). Honestly, I love playing characters that are...

Votan, I'm right behind you. However, I think vampires are actually pretty easy to make into a balanced race. Take away most of their supernatural abilities, but give them the light blindness like Drow and a penalty to saves against good-aligned divine spells or something. +2 Dex, +2 Cha, -2...

This is a very cool concept for a class, but it feels more like a prestige class than a full base class. It just doesn't seem versatile enough. Sure, you can disrupt/steal/absorb magic in various ways, but you can't do anything besides that. Against non spell-casters, this class functions like...

I'd like to see a few races based on elemental planes, some fey races, and a couple of new regional races. I also wouldn't mind seeing a few racial modifications for use in modern-style and space campaigns.

I like it! It's very open, and it really focuses on Bards being the skilled characters in the group. The rogue talents at the end feel a little out of place, and there are only 8 performance tricks with no standard forms of bardic music. If the performance tricks were slightly expanded, given...

I understand that the two classes have options, I just feel that they have too few. For example, I would create several Bard types, including wilderness, divine, loremaster, etc. Another option is to give Bards different class features based on a "primary" musical instrument of their choosing...

After reading all the classes through, I've noticed that both the Bard and the Druid have no choice of talents, rage powers, bloodline etc. If you could give the Bard and Druid "talents", what would you give them and how frequently? Would you create talents that enhanced their existing class...

So, any comments on the Factotum build? It's been a while. I'm looking at it again and I think it's a little too weak. I'm thinking of increasing the number of times Respec (tentative name) can be used, and generally bumping up the power of their base abilities. Opinions?

I ran a Ghostwalk campaign for a couple of months, and one of the characters was an intelligent Skeleton. I found that the large number of immunities the character received naturally from being undead was easily balanced by his lack of constitution and vulnerabilities. To answer your question...

Factotums in Pathfinder - Now the Dilettante Alright, after a few hours of thought I've come up with The Dilettante This is my first time placing an attachment on the forums, so I hope it works. The class is very broad, with no defined focus. The "Insights", like Rogue Talents or Witch...

My favorite new class is definitely the Oracle. I enjoy the RPing aspect of games and the oracle 'curse' of blindness, deafness, unluck etc. just seems rife with possibilities.

Tal_Akaan, first of all, welcome to the boards! I totally agree with you. I forgot that pathfinder classes have various abilities to choose from at each level (strangely enough, though, the Bard does not). What if Factotums could select from a list of class features like a Witch, except...

Honestly I'd like to see the Factotum redone (I have a thread about that right now). But, since it's not OGL, I'd really like to see a leader/tactician base class that excels at skills and filling in party roles on the fly.

Okay, so the class features seem geared towards doing 3 things. 1) Recharging/empowering wands 2) Crafting magical items 3) Having a mechanical pet Other focuses mentioned include magical item disruption and infusion-like spells. I think the class should do one thing better than any other...

Yeah, I can see the FMA vibe here. On the other hand, that's not a bad thing (FMA is awesome). Just a few comments: 1. What is his spell progression? I'm assuming it's Bard progression taken from the Sorc/Wiz list. Is it spontaneous or prepared? Prepared seems more likely, since the class is...
