Here's my experience: I'm a high school student, and my dad lives on the campus of my boarding school. This lumps me under "residential faculty", "day-boarder", or "lucky", depending on whom you ask. However, one of the main benefits of this is that I'm effectively an unpaid night-watchman...

This is mostly for those who have read Marion Zimmer Bradley's Darkover series. If you remember, in their dark era (Age of Chaos maybe?), they came up with some ridiculous methods of warfare, coming close in potency to our own atomic bomb, The two best known of these were clingfire and bonedust...

I find that this is realistic for a few skills (specifically Craft, Perform, and Know Language), but for many of the others, I would have to be convinced that they earned the points. As an example: A character is given great distinction among the Orcish nation. A potential war breaks out...

Well I, for one, would take fighter when this was available. .... I'd take at least two levels of fighter, that is. :p

Oh, I was not of the opinion that the players should have it. I think that, for players so heavily empowered by magical items and these "letters", the worst thing that could happen is to have that power taken away by the Dread Lord Generic right before the big battle. Just a of couple of ideas...

The great chain of being (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chain_of_being) was one of the primary nifluences for John Milton's description of the cosmos in his Paradise Lost. Milton describes the world thus (II, ll. 1051-1053): And fast by hanging in a golden Chain, This pendant world, in begness...

wow, you really are drawing upon a lot of obscure references. The chain of being? I love it. I assume its golden. What are you interested in as far as help goes? If you would like (as soon as I finish translating this cursed Parson's tale to modern English) I would have a lot of fun coming up...

Oh, I didn't honestly expect you to follow my advice. That was my rant mode again. :D No, I put my only serious suggestion before the split, hoping you'd follow it, and then I slipped back into "the thing I'm too lazy to do myself but can describe rather well"

Change cursed seal 1 to Chuunin rank, and cursed seal 2 to Juunin rank. Set it up like 2nd Edition druid: you have to go through the test before you can gain the level. Now that my brain is up for a bit more, here is my suggestion to make this class workable. Delete the skills and jutsus. All...

This is a small rant. I'll address your class after three dashes, so read or don't at your own behest. It'll probably end up with me making a class of my own. ummm.... Naruto spoilers. Don't read if you intend to watch the series and haven't been watching subs. Of course, if you've only been...

That's why I gave them to you. I'll have a lot more for you by the end of the day, especially after my Japanese class. And yes, I know about the copyright, and I don't really care. It's a good idea, and I figure I'll help you as much as I can. After all, the point of these boards isn't to...

As for introducing this to your campaigns, I have a much more philosophical response. If you decide to imput this anywhere, you change the nature of your game. It is no longer a gritty campaign of heroes. It is an epic campaign vital to the future. You've just given Excaliber to Arthur, and it...

This is ... wow. Well, I'm now having the urge to go back and read some swordsmith literature. And play the entire way through Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross. Wow. Some simple questions, if you will allow: Where did you get your inspiration for this artifact? How are the words of creation...

When it comes to the SoulKnife, I think Wizards really dropped the ball. Eberron did quite well at "picking it up" per se. The Class is not underpowered, it is undernourished. As otheres have said, there are very few feats in existence aimed specifically for them (although, if you check these...

As I see it, the role of the Paladin is the purest of the pure, and people on these boards expect the best of him. You talk of black and white ideals, but what are they? Some people expect 1: for him to uphold a good Christian moral code while some expect 2: for him to be the righteous justice...

Forewarning: I get kind of rough in this. Probably because I'm writing a satire article later tonight. It always makes me feel somewhat bitter. Or maybe it's bitterness against my oncoming religion paper. Or the wrestling. Yeah, it's probably that. Whatever the case, PG-13 from here until the...

Maybe you could control it by feat tier and requirements. So a feat that only required a +13 Dex would be cheaper than... say spring attack, but even after getting spring attack, it would still be worth the Xp to get dodge. I think 350 is way too small of a base to start at. Maybe 500 for any...

Okay, here's how you do lightsabers, and hopefully keep them balanced. Set them up like longswords, except dealing 1d8+1 damage.. It's the only weapon (maybe clubs, quarterstaff) that they begin proficiency with, and they're the only ones that know how to make them. You can put more bonuses in...

I thought of a few cool powers. Ki Strike: 2nd level --cold iron. Evasion: As normal, beginning at fourth level. Slam Ground: The monk may slam the ground near one opponent, causing a mild shockwave to go forth. At (1st level of power), this opponent must be the same size as or smaller than...
