ok, people... i really need some feedback on this. i'm trying to make this an LA+0 race, no more than an LA+1. is there anything else i can do to express their vampirism without the ability damage (which, reading Savage Species, is worth +2 on its own)? is there some kind of melee attack that...

this i understand. i don't expect realism. what i expect is consistency. maybe i don't have a problem with the blowgun, maybe i have a problem with sneak attack. i don't understand why, under "normal" circumstances, a blowgun needle does 1 point of damage, but when the person is denied their...

Amazon's got three used copies: 1 for $50 and 2 for $100. ......... !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1) rogues aren't proficient with scythes. 2) the VP/WP Rules don't use critical multipliers...

not to hijack my own thread, but i'm currently using a very interesting house rule for sneak attacks. for every 1d6 granted from sneak attack, instead add +1 to critical threat range. with the variant WP/VP system i'm using, it doesn't really decrease overall effectiveness, and it makes a lot...

as far as the rules go, sneak attack applies to blowguns. so, a 20th level rogue would deal 1+10d6 damage with a blowgun on a sneak attack. an average of 31 points of damage from a two-inch steel needle seems excessive, though, don't you think?

shameless self-promotion! ;) seriously, i'll check it out when i get five bucks in my account.

does a small longspear still have the same reach as a regular-sized longspear?

dang. no Lasher. oh well...anyone selling their copy of sword and fist?

yes, let's. in fact, let's make it longer than a moment. i suggest for the remainder of this thread's existence. who's with me? we can start another thread about which stat is the most useful (one that i'll never look at, because i have no opinion, and don't really care all that much...).

Dark Elf Traits (Revised) * +2 Dexterity, -2 Constitution * Medium Size * Dark Elf base land speed is 30 ft. * Darkvision up to 60 feet. * +2 racial bonus on Will saves against enchantment spells and effects. * Low-Light Vision: A dark elf can see twice as far as a human in starlight...

you're welcome to it.

what if i left out the darkness?

Dark Elf Traits (Ex) * +2 Dexterity, -2 Constitution * Dark Elf base land speed is 30 ft. * Darkvision out to 60 feet. * +2 racial bonus on Will saves against spells and spell-like abilities. * Immunity to magic sleep effects. * +2 racial bonus on Listen, Search, and Spot checks. * Light...

guess i need to read the text next time. all i saw was the base and the multiplication modifier. i assumed that you multiplied the base.

has anyone actually looked at the weight calculation table before? i just did, for the first time this edition. check it out: http://www.d20srd.org/srd/description.htm#heightAndWeight does it seem strange to anyone else that the weight range for a human male is 240-960 lbs? i mean, i've...

and in a non-hack-n-slash game, the half-orc is useless. different people play different games. i run skill-intensive, RP-heavy campaigns, where combat makes up about 20% of the game, if that. in any situation besides combat, half-orcs get the short end of the stick. elves get bonuses to...

more damage from a high STR score does not a good rogue make. the ability to hide and move silently does, and those things come from skill points. while one skill point per level may not break a character, it certainly doesn't make things any easier to make a viable PC in a skill-intensive class.

well, what got me started on doing this chart was the fact that the UA spell point allotment for wizards was so much less than the XPH allotment for psions. aside from that, i have no problem using the XPH system for arcane/divine magic.

to me, CHA represents social graces, something an orc should be severely lacking in. so, stat balance aside, it makes sense from a flavor perspective.
