I agree, but playing a fun character in a party of min max players is a lot less fun, especially if you have a lot of combat and you have your character smoking a cig cause there isn't much point in him actually trying to help out... I once made a rogue/sorc who was a swindling coward. He had...

Or how about a role playing definition: "whenever <my character> feels immediate danger" With poor wording, he better not make eye contact with that pretty bar maid... Or he can say many other things that didn't work how he wanted. If anybody ever watched Charmed, they could gain good ideas...

One thing I should mention, we almost always play by found items only, very little buying, and most of the time it is buyer beware. The DM's are nice, but we don't object to making such things difficult, so all our characters are well rounded in ways that most here don't play with, or else a...

While I appreciate the game mechanics evaluation, the concern is far more I think for being Broken in that it has no character concept involved. Most of the guys in my group respect character concept more than mechanics, which I appreciate and enjoy most of the time. This interest in fluff...

It isn't a feat, it is an alternate class, there are a few other disads, but it is pretty nice to lose a feat for a nice bonus with your chosen weapon, I don't have the numbers in front of me, but it is level based, not a raw feat, but you give up your first level fighter bonus feat. In other...

I have a human 8th level Kensai (fighter variant from Dragon)/2nd Level Sorc and I am looking for the best Prestige Class to take with my next level. I know I should think these things out beforehand, but I like the try and see if a direction presents itself first. I would like to try and take...

I would go with opposed caster level checks in that case...

These are spells that were researched by my half mad Evoker pyromaniac Ilsem Nishmaru for a Forgotten Realms campaign. After about 10th level, every character that we went up against knew that they needed to have fire protection, because Ilsem's greatest love was watching enemies blown apart by...

The Fop A partier of all sorts, the Fop excells in social situations where the brews are flowing. Barrooms or ballrooms make no difference to our lovable vagabond, as long as the conversation is good (or at least abundant) he feels right at home. If he can get some fun out of the deal...

My post must have been unclear, it is the character level squared, just as you said it. A 20th level character can have spent up to 40,000 on his personal magic items, which would convert to 1 million gold peice worth of items. However, the character would have spent nearly 20% of his total...

That is a good deal simpler, no doubt.

I would offer additional spell casting levels as possible features at 1-3-5. Instead of taking Force of Mind at class level 3, they could gain a caster level instead. Those focused on spellcasting will be slowed a bit with this class, but a character with 5 class levels would get some different...

I just read a few item creation feat threads, with variations on how magic items can be created. The current rules of course require certain spells be available and certain caster levels both to create certain items and to gain certain feats at all. While this works well for starters, it seems...

Lack of sleep will kill you faster than lack of water. Actually, the US Army tested it at one point, and nobody stayed awake long enough to find out if it would actually kill you, no matter what sort of stimuli they tried to keep you awake. And psychosis kicks in long before you pass out. If...

I have found that exact composition of the party is not really that important. Statwise, you should be able to make anything work regardless. The important thing is making sure that the characters have a reason to be working together, or at the least making sure you can have fun even when you...

Actually, no, they won't let me even cast the spell and touch in the same action, they make me cast the spell and swoop using flyby the next round. There is no reason to not attack in that situation, unless you can't really hit the target's non touch AC. I thought it was a partial action as...

How would it apply with Spring Attack or Flyby attack. Could a character cast the spell, move, make a touch attack, and move away with one of the above feats? If so, why, if not why not? I have a Druid that likes to cast poison (its a scarred lands Druid) while swooping down in eagle form. I...

One of my group's favorite campaigns involved high level characters (14th level) and started with a 46 point buy. The fact that one of them played a Half-Djinn and the other a Githyanki didn't hurt the power levels. At this level of power, you will need to count them all as +1 characters...

The Janissary is horribly overpowered. What you have is a character with fighter hit points and bab with Monk abilities and Rogue abilities. Then you add a few virtual feats and give them 4 sp/level. This character class would be very unbalanced in a traditional D and D world. If the other...

The class will be nice if you can get it with Sneak Attack, but the idea is that everybody can make advantages out of the Quicker Than the Eye ability. On Dim Door, they will be 12th level by that point min, and have to have a very high wis bonus. Since it is a penultimate class ability, I...
