I like this cantrip :) It's cute, interesting, and has that, "ooh, magic!" flavor. Got a few questions, tho: Do multiple castings stack? Can you, for example, have many many protons of same or different colors orbiting you? I can see a mage making a wand of this for big confrontations and...

I would suppose that you can, although the market for an unusual weapon that requires a minimum of two feats to wield properly would be horribly small. (Then again, most of the double-headed exotics take three. And by comparison, they 'majorly suck,' to use the vernacular.) I.e. your...

The wording in the DMG suggests that only crossbow bolts, arrows, and sling bullets are considered 'ammunition' and enchantable in bundles of 50. I would argue that blowgun needles or darts from MotW would be considered ammunition also. Since shuriken appear to be intentionally excluded from...

Spring Attack Combat Reflexes These would be the first two on my list for characters who rely on reach weapons. Imagine a combat between two fighters, one armed with a greatsword and the other with a longspear; this should make it obvious what advantage the Spring Attack provides. Work with...

I suppose it would also be possible to make Keen, Impact Morningstars. It wouldn't be particularly unbalancing, anyway, just somewhat curious.

sure. Why not? I'd limit it to 2, though. If you're a "mean, no free lunch" kind of DM, you can make it happen in nasty ways, though - manipulating this is as easy as manipulating any other wish. Nonhuman characters could be changed to human, gaining the extra Human feat while losing their...

Because Faerun has a larger number of 'portals per square mile' than any other place in the multiverse with the exception of Sigil. You'll find anything, everything, and everyone somewhere in the Realms at some time or another. I'm willing to bet that the socks that disappear every time I do a...

Since OA lists the staff as a monk weapon, what's the ruling on monks using a staff with Flurry of Blows? Do they get 1.5x Str bonus damage on each strike? Or is it just not possible (in the game rules) to use a staff this way? The question has been posed before, but I haven't seen an...

sounds a bit too beefy to me, without more specific/restrictive wording. Imagine, for example, a mage learning the cold version of this spell and then casting ray of frost all the time. Good way to turn all your cantrips into 1st-level spells. But if it flies in your campaign, I guess it's...

How was my day? Yee *@$(!&#% Haw. I look forward to my birthdays more than V-day. thanks for asking, tho :)

It might be most comparable to a Maul, or an extra-big Heavy Mace. But here's what I'd make it: Large Martial Weapon, 1d10/x3 crit or Large Martial Weapon, 1d12/x2 crit It would be differentiated from the Greatclub either by a more damaging critical or larger base damage. It would also...

Larcen: Thanks, the compliment is much appreciated! Though tempers flare and egos trip around here on occasion, for the most part I find these message boards a great source of ideas. I'm glad someone finds a few of my own ideas useful :) Tobithus: It would be hard for me to suggest any...

You might want to remind him that he left out Superior Weapon Specialization and Supreme Cleave *roll eyes*

I've sorta thought about it as the Wizard/Sorceror's version of extra attacks - extra attacks are useful for everyone, but least useful for sorcerors and wizards, who can't hit the broadside of a barn anyways. (That's an exaggeration, of course, but they are poor combatants with a capital P...

You can always use weak prerequisite feats as excuses for making your home-grown PrC's stronger

Well, for any Wizard or Sorceror pursuing prestige classes, the ability is worth very little, since effective spellcasting levels granted by prestige classes do not count as Wizard or Sorceror levels - so a 5th level Wizard/6th level Elemental Savant, for example, has an extra-weak and...

Barbarian: "With a earsplitting roar, I wind up and clobber the High Priest of Hextor with my giant-bone greatclub." (Rolls a 16) DM: "You hit. Roll for damage." Barbarian: "That's a 8, + 9 for Strength and rage, two hands. 17 points of damage." DM: "Roll for Knockdown" (opposed roll...

Shinsetsu explained this quite well. Just as he said, if you want to add any in-game bonuses for learning specific styles, you're making up house rules... however, it would be a lot of work to make up 'accurate' prestige classes and rules for new martial arts styles. You could look at the...
