    Order of the Stick #407!

    That was fantastic. I've disliked Miko for a long time, and it looks like she may finally get her due.

    any Turn Undead House Rules?

    Here is a link to the variant rules I'm using for Turning/Rebuking. I'm working on quite a few rule changes for my homebrew, and I think this makes things a bit simpler and more straightfoward. Of course, a large amount of the stuff on my site is still new and undergoing revision, but it's at...

    Racial Levels Variant

    Wow. Thanks for the suggestions. I'll take another look at each of the races and work them out. The good news is that the game I play in on Sundays is nearly over, and we're planning on running some one-shots after that. I plan to playtest these as well as other classes and races I'm working on...

    New Elemental Avatar Base Class based on Avatar Series and the Warlock Base Class

    I think the class is much more balanced. I like the "metamagic" feel of the elemental and shape manipulations affecting the bending ability. I really think the number of manipulations is better as it is now, if for no other reason than that no character will ever be able to *use* that many...

    Racial Levels Variant

    I've decided to add a bit to the variant. I'm in the process of adding options for each monstrous race to give players wishing to play more flexibility. The options will allow for varying amounts of racial hit dice with different level adjustments. I'll post here when I've got everything written up.

    New Weapon & Amor add-on: Wandbearing

    Updated the post above with a new version.

    Give me something to do

    OH jeez.... I think you outdid yourself. I think I'd love to have the song dragon even more than the elven fighter. Can't wait to see her other form!

    Give me something to do

    Fantastic! I was considering running her as a straight 17th level ranger, but I'll definitely be using this. :)

    FINAL Updated Warmage Variant Spell List???

    I like the new version a lot better. Adding those couple spells back in gave a little back to the class. Looks good to me.

    New Weapon & Amor add-on: Wandbearing

    I don't think allowing multiple wands should be added to weapons, but perhaps allowing armor to have multiple based on the type of armor. For example, Light = 1, Medium = 2, Heavy = 3, Shield = 1. I would definitely have a higher progression for the additional wands. Something like 6k for the...

    Give me something to do

    The party is part way into the World's Largest Dungeon. They just came upon, and barely managed to rescue, a female elf who has been the victim of an ancient trap for the past x thousand years (enough that she doesn't recognize the names of some modern deities). Her memory of her own identity is...

    New Elemental Avatar Base Class based on Avatar Series and the Warlock Base Class

    Well, it looks a little better. The main thing I'm noticing right now is that there's no real mechanics on how much of a certain type of damage some of the manipulations do. I'm assuming that the manipulations work identically to the spells of the same name, but how are you doing the mechanic of...

    New Elemental Avatar Base Class based on Avatar Series and the Warlock Base Class

    Well, the primary reason I would say leave the resurrecting to the clerics is that *no* other caster gets the resurrection spells. Even druids, who have a full 9 levels of divine spells only get heal. Giving an arcane caster the ability to (potentially) resurrect more people in a day than a...

    New Elemental Avatar Base Class based on Avatar Series and the Warlock Base Class

    I agree with the sentiment that not all of the spells should be infinite. Perhaps if you allow something like the following: Total Number of Manipulations per day Least: (Level +5 [possibly +10]) + Wisdom modifier Lesser: Level + Wisdom modifier Greater: (Level / 2) + Wisdom modifier Greatest...

    FINAL Updated Warmage Variant Spell List???

    I like the list overall. It looks like you've put quite a bit of effort into it. It looks like you've taken out pretty much all of the necromancy spells, but as someone who plays a warmage, I'm begging you.... put Finger of Death back in! I used it just this past week to take out a big baddie...

    Racial Levels Variant

    Agreed, but I think it has the potential to be as enjoyable without requiring a character to take a set number of racial levels. With this system, a character who wants to start with more hit points can either wait until they can meet the normal ECL, they can take a small hit and take some...

    Racial Levels Variant

    As someone who hasn't played a gnoll, if it plays well at a +1 (unless there's a massive outcry from others here), I'm fine with bumping it back down to a LA +1. Done. Any other suggestions? One thing that struck me yesterday is a potential drawback for playing some of these races as player...

    New Weapon & Amor add-on: Wandbearing

    I would probably just rule a straight percentage chance of the wand being destroyed as a part of the item it was attached to. Since there's really no explicit effect when breaking a wand, I would simply have it sundered and made into a broken, non-magical stick.

    WLD Player maps

    So, I found the site with the World's Largest Dungeon maps (such a life saver!). However, I can't seem to find the last few maps for the set. I tried going through the WLD thread here, but can't bring myself to look through ~70 pages of posts for CrimsonScribe's notification that he finished the...

    How do you rule on quarter-races?

    Agreed. And here's something I just thought of. If you really want to play a character who has a little bit of this and a little bit of that in his bloodline, why not use the bloodline rules from UA? They allow for just this sort of thing, and would probably be the only way I'd allow things...
