In my efforts to make all skills potentially useful to anyone that might take them, I'm trying to think of different uses for concentration. Unless you're 1. a spellcaster or 2. in a campaign where you must pick locks while in a rowboat in a thunderstorm -often-, putting ranks in concentration...

Yeah, ElectricDragon, I realized the silliness of my comments soon after I posted :D Your list of feats, though, were all on my list of new bonus feats for wizard. Cloistered Clerics: Eh, yeah, I think UA balanced them pretty well :) Granted, I think they're still better than wizards, even in...

Hmm, I would really like to make sure I'm not screwing stuff up too much with the metamagic. Any thoughts on price reductions for the components? Thanks! Eltern

Basically to Jester's comments, as the others were "Hey, that's about alright" How does taking out sorcs weaken the other classes? Seems more flavor for the campaign thing than anything else. I think the only people who get screwed by taking out sorcs is...sorcs. Kinda similar: How does...

So, I'm going to be starting a new campaign, and it will have a big bunch of house rules. As such I'm going to be just taking the SRD, changing it with the new rules, and giving it to my players, saying "This will be the PHB for this campaign" As such, I would like to make sure that there is...

Fair enough. The one time there was a TPK I knew it was coming, planned on killing them all (with a dragon way above their level), was childish, younger, and generally sucked more. They all died while I cackled, making it very unentertaining for them, and then they all woke up, resurrected by...

bump Guess I just need to know how the reflex DC for falling is calculated, and if you really die at negative WP in Star Wars. I'll hunt for the mentioned link on the wizards site more myself.

It was pretty late when I posted this last night, so I was pretty tired and didn't completely explain myself for you guys. Sorry about that. ;) In general, as both a player and a DM, I hate thinking of D&D as a wargame/minisgame, but rather think of what I play/run as "a generic roleplaying...

The problem is simple. One of my players for an upcoming campaign has stated she simply doesn't want combat. None, zero. The other players think the idea is worth a shot. What in HADES DO I DO? By the time you have no combat whatsoever, I don't think you're really playing D&D anymore, you're...

Alrighty, I'm tired out of my mind, so I hope I'm sensical 1. Does someone know this link on Wizard's site, then? Looked around for it, but did not find it. It just seems like plain double dipping to me :\ Maybe mathematically speaking it works, but if a big ol' dragon's already got a 34 con...

If this should go in house rules because it's UA stuff, can an admin please move it? Trying to think of a way for players to be more scared of combat in my upcoming campaign, AND not to just make clerics heal-monkeys (they are in my groups, it seems. I know, they still haven't figured out the...

6 hours, eh? Could this be used as an "intro to D&D" kinda thing, or is it a bit to complex/complicated? Know what would be good for something like that? A 3.x conversion :D Maybe I'll buy the PDF... Eltern

Hmmm...where are these "true rituals" in UA? I faintly remember something like that in Savage Species...

I really liked all your commentary, it was enjoyable/useful, but...EH? Can you do those calculations again, slowly? From the SRD: "XP Cost: The minimum XP cost for casting wish is 5,000 XP. When a wish duplicates a spell that has an XP cost, you must pay 5,000 XP or that cost, whichever is...

Well, wait a minute. All the Awaken spells create a soul. There just doesn't happen to be one laying around that creates a soul in the form of a living humanoid. So I think the whole aim of "creating a soul" is actually really simple, with all these Awaken spells around here, it's getting it in...

Couldn't you just stitch a bunch of limbs and such together, or some similar non-cloning method of body production, go through the system, then go through the process, and name him Frank(enstein)? I don't really see a difference in the process. Is there one? The manner of building the body is...

Now you just need some way to make the clone NOT look like you, and you're effectively making babies. Grown up babies. Grown up, formerly zombie babies. What happens if you don't awaken the undead? Does Ress. just not work?

Hmmm...portable wells :D Neat. Once you start to put real weapons into the mix I think everything goes real wrong real quickly, yes. Nobody gives discounts at all, this is interesting. IMCs there's been about three or four characters that wanted to combine slotless items for a coolness...

Hmm, true. But then, I could just take Noncombatant, and for this character it would be the same thing. Actually, maybe I should just do that :-D How about the same flaw, but add... Special: Your 1st level class must be a spell-caster Pheh, that's still clunky. Here's another feat...

Are there any specific rules for pricing the combined the effects of various wonderous items? Ex. A robe of the Archmage with a pocket that acts like a Type I bag of Holding. Now, you can say "Ok, you have them both, just add them together for 77,500 gp" OR "Dude, that item is more powerful...
