Okay, I think this is pretty strong and cancels out the paladin's natural aversion to ranged weapons. Start as an elf (for the +2 to Dex and for Skylord) and go through two levels of fighter. At third level, pick up one level of sorcerer and, for your feat, pick up ancestral relic (for bow of...

Wow, this thread has gone on a long time. Almost not worth posting, since at this point I wouldn't be surprised if StormRaven never checked this thread again. But, in the off chance... StormRaven: I think my only disagreement with your point is that you assume a very strict A or B scenario...

I couldn't resist It's not a trait, per se. It's a state of mind. Lets make some slight changes. Ignore Me You are often ignored Benefit: When a creature, cruel joke, or wrathful DM would target you, they must succeed at a Concentration check against your Ennui skill to remember why they...

Gestalt is an experiment in Min/Maxing. It throws class specific stereotypes out the window. ... Oh, you're a monk/Paladin.... do you have trouble getting things done, having to pray to your God and meditate on yourself every day. Do you have troubles balancing the Judeo-Christian focus on the...

Actually, NyteWolf, the problem that some of us are seeing is that Charisma doesn't benefit other classes, and is a dump stat for everyone except for a few classes. Charisma is the only stat that has no natural reward (Str=damage, Int=skill points) But I'll address this on a point by point...

Slightly less original: sorcerer/ psion 10, cerebramancer 10. More fun/godly: Psion/SoulKnife through level 10. Death on wheels, minus the wheels. Switch soulknife out for elocator. If you can switch both, switch psion out for pyrokineticist. You will lose 2 psion manifestor levels. It will...

I just had a minor (bordering on trivial) revelation. Do you think that maybe, just maybe, your problem is not with the ability to take five feet back and begin casting a spell/drinking a potion, but with a person casting from five feet away? AKA.... you are okay with a fighter with sword and...

Oh, in addition to what I had before, I assume they don't get this ability when flanked?

Amen. This is why I will never, ever, ever take the WoL classes without my personal addendum. WoL Classes: Experience for weapons of legacy level are gained while using that weapon or item, at 1/3 base rate, though the player may choose to exchange regular Exp to the WoL class at a 1:1 rate...

I'm not in this for an argument, because if you have a problem with a rule then it's your game. But I do martial arts, I practice three sword styles, and I wrestle. As for that last one, I pinned three people yesterday, one in under twenty seconds. I feel I have something to say on realism in a...

hmmm... maybe to better emulate what you're going for, the max skill ranks should be on a monthly basis or so. Also, maybe this "skill" can be exchanged with Exp. Err... example. I am a nine year old genius. I watched someone play chess, and decided to learn it. I put the next four skill points...

Well, let us begin with a standard fighter. What items do you feel that he should be able to have even with a Cha 10? A sword, surely. A shield, too. And a helmet, armor, and either boots or some other trinket. So lets say that a character can, with Cha 10, hold 5 magic items. that covers a...

I like the basic idea. How about instead of penalyzing characters though, just make it extra. For every 3 points above 10, the character can gain the effects of one additional magic item that they are carrying (exceptions made at DMs discretion). This gives a reason to bump Charisma from 15 to...

This sounds very much like what I'm doing in my game. I've found that water spells seem to merge very nicely with healing. Also, one could put a cauterization spell in fire or a "the healing of the land" in earth if you felt like it. Of course, what do you quality as "life" spells if healing...

For starters, you might want to up the healing of Lay On Hands. As it is, a Preist with 16 Wisdom, generally considered strong for a *cough* non-spellcasting class, will only be able to heal 6 points of damage a day. lol. I know how to make it a balanced healer. Healing is equal to her...

Makes sense. *yoink*

ForceUser's advice is sound. However.... I know for a fact that Bards are not underpowered. They are not Fighters, Mages, Thieves, or Clerics, but they can help all of those classes. Even one bard can help an army immensely, possibly more than a Wizard and definitely more than a rogue. If a...

Or more common in medeival times would be to have the wooden staff plated with adamantine. Cum nefas et candore, CLKC

Last question first. You are a total noob. You've established that for yourself. The question, then, is whether that will hinder your play-experience, and the answer, as always, is no. Learn the basic rules, don't give up on gaming, and don't be an idiot in your first gaming group. To your...

Oh, come on. What else goes on here besides semantics? This board is effectively a debate board over the rules, with eloquence as the weapon of choice.. I second the argument that the rogue loses nothing. As I see it, the core of this issue revolves around two conflicting views-- 1. The...
