I've always liked the idea the characters could use craft skill to create magic weapons. If you combine that with the weapon level idea. Say the level of weapon defines the dc for the craft roll to make it.

What I used to do for new players is do all the character creation myself, based on their ideas. Everybodies seen fantasy movies. So all you have to do is try and translate their ideas into the rules.

How about if you have quicken spell,combat reflexes and combat casting. You can cast a spell as a AOO providing its casting time is a free action. And also if you have combat reflexes, dodge , lightning reflexes and weapons focus . You can make AOO with a ranged weapon that you have focused on.

Once your away from low levels, the party mix has a great impact on how difficult the encounter is. I was in a campaign where the party was a psion, a barbarian, a wizard/ranger and a fighter/sorcerer. Because we all had fighter levels in one class or another encounters with lots of low...

I'd suggest that we should consider feats that have prereq more . That way the synergy effect can be better. For instance how about combat casting and signiture spell, gives a +4 on concentration checks for that spell.

I don't think feat synergy effects should be of the type you have x & y feats so you gain feat z. But rather you have x & y feats you gain a bonus of less value than a feat. Typically I think the effects should be a +1 or a +2 circumstance bonus saving throws. A +1 cicumstance bonus to hit. Or...

I'd agree they don't get weaker, but my experience is thats theres no fluff room. I've played wizards and fighters at up 16th level. And the fighter has to be optimal to complete, while the wizard doesn't .

If monks have a Ki strike, why can't fighters have an equivelent feat that allows them to use their weapon as a magic weapon? I'd also much prefer to see combat style feats rather than weapon focus feats. And i'd also like to see synergy bonuses for feats . If you have feats x & y , you also get...

I'd agree with that. The fighters I've used at near epic level have need all those feats. What i'd suggest is more feats that replace the fighters equipment dependancy.

I've found that once you get into high level with sorcerers and wizards theres not much point in trying to boost your AC. Anything that high can hit you as often as it likes. Its better avoiding getting hit. So my suggestions are A ring of invisibity or ring of blinking Ring +2 protection...

The GnG style to have more real world problems compared to high fantasy. More realism makes the rules easier as you compare them to real life more. While high fantasy is more escapism. If your stuck in a 9-5 job all week and you rp at the week end. Odds are you want escapism , rather than deal...

I was thinking of the idea of making masterwork and magic items prices proportal to the original price. Instead of +300 gp for MW, it would be x30, with a minium of 50gp. And MI x100, with a minium of 250gp. Making simple weapons cheaper, and exotic more expensive.

I wouldn't take combat expertise at 1st level. Its limited by your BAB. So its great for 4-5th level. And with improved combat expertise great for high levels. But at 1st level , your better off taking dodge.

I'd go with the defensive fighter build. Look at feats the improve AC. Combat expertise, improved combat expertise, dodge, mobility.

With a party of a fighter type , a non combat cleric , a wizard and the ranger. The ranger is really the second string fighter. In a fight with 1 monster, than ranger can let the fighter go head on, while she flanks. However with 2 or more monsters , its up to the ranger to get stuck in and...

If you wanted to go with extra turning, i'd increase the charisma. Alternativly you could try alertness or lighting reflexs. I've tried a cleric sorcerer class, and focused on touch attacks. His 1st level feat was improved feint.

I can't see much benefit from taking the monk levels. Your probably better staying with pure cleric until you PrC. Although you could take a level in sorcerer and then go on cleric. The sorcerer level would give you a lot of basic detect spell. You would lose the armour benefits of the cleric ...

I really liked the monsters in Sandstorm. Theres some nice stuff in it, but you don't really need in to run a desert/wastelands scenario. Complete arcane, i was a bit disappointed in. Complete adventurer had better spells in it. Lords of madness & races of eberron I havn't seen.

I think the best tactic for Diviners is for them to find the enemy first. So that the party can determine the best means of attack. And pretty much all detection spells help with that.

Not sure what your point is. If a 10th level fighter with 16 con and 85hp. Takes 85 damage and a further 12 points to his con. His full hp until his con is restored would only be 25 points. Compared to the UA RAW where his wound points would be 4 and his full vitality points 85. Taking damage...
