OK, so I was looking through the rules for grappling and found that my player couldn't grapple an opponent more than two sizes larger than himself:eek:. I was wondering, why not? Could a player perhaps grapple a part of a larger opponent?

I was talking to one of my players, and he said that instead of reducing the skill list, each class should instead just get more skill points. For example, +2 skill points allows a fighter to take jump, climb, swim, and balance without having any int bonus (what type of fighter needs to think?)...

GvG can be really hard to pull off, but, like evil, one creature's good may be another creature's worst nightmare. For example, in Eberron the Mournland has been wasted, and a leader has risen among the displaced Cyreans...who have become hungry for revenge. This man creates a small band of...

If you want to have races that would normally have racial adjustment be LA +0, I would give the characters the ability to take a "lesser" race, then made a "_____ paragon" class with levels equal to the races normal LA (yes, a 1 level class) that gives them the abilities taken away by playing a...

I personally think that the con score ignores the size, and rather attempts to judge a creature's personal internal systems. For example, I think con 15 for a small dog is actually too small for a small dog...a dog will roll around in just about anything like dirt and will eat carrion in the...

oops...yah... I your opponent is 10th level (I think you said 10/11 level party), then I would use deep slumber, followed up by a finger of death spell... THIS WAS A LOT COOLER WHEN I STILL THOUGHT THAT THE OPPONENT WAS ANOTHER PC. You could have surrendered, then used finger of death on her...

Personally, as a DM I do not like player vs player combat. A lot of spells require you to make a save rather than have a good AC, which could help. Another thing you could do is cast one of the summon dragon spells, but only if your prepared to drop a LOT of loot. A spell that...

I would think that, with a full kingdom behind him, a king could cast pretty much any spell after a while. I rule that any spell I need cast in an area, a king or general underneath a king can get someone to do it...if you have a fighter who enjoys walking through prison walls, hide permanent...

For a few REALLY good combinations that make spells great, quickened spells make some spells free actions or move actions, which means you can cast multiple spells in one round. PWRFUL! Prestige classes that focus on one spell (such as the one in Dragon Compendium that specializes with magic...

I'd say that how powerful you want it is largely based on four factors: 1. Your level-If you buy a sword that is two weak to make it worth while, you'll just go back to playing a sword that can easily be upgraded. 2. Your max level-I would wait until your near the maximum value you can get...

While I find it to be a facinating idea, I find that it has three problems: 1. Its boring. No player in my group would ever sacrifice their skill bonuses for lower skill bonuses, except maybe the newest. 2. BAB and saves are considered in character class power balances, so making them into...

Unless your DM is also inexperienced:.-( (or a total...well, not going to go there:devil:), he should allow you to create a spell-book of your own design. Also, the book Complete Arcane:D has some really great ideas on magic item design, and this happens to include spell-books. I would go with a...

One way to do it is to simply get rid of skills altogether, and replace them with ability checks. Sure, the players would still get skill points, but they would be put into only six skills: Strength-->heavy lifting, anything that requires strength... Constitution-->prolonged lifting, anything...

That should help...I'm not so sure he'd want to play anything called a dusk-blade, however...seems to dark for him...

Perhaps some of you are familiar with the final fantasy games, but that and the last player to join my campaigns reluctance to join has caused me to ask myself the basic questions...why not? The idea behind the judge class is a powerful fighter who uses spells, swords, and shields. Taking from...

I think that this can be good in a few different situations: 1. A rogue who wants to go assassin: simply switch out the levels in rogue for the levels in assassin, but slowed down slightly. 2. A paladin who really just wants to be a blackguard: spread out the abilities given for sacrificing...

If your playing a higher-level campaign, multi-class as a cleric and wizard/sorcerer. Shoot for the mystic thurge prestige class a.s.a.p.. That way, you've got blasting spells (:devil:) and healing spells (:angel:). Once you've done that, secretly higher a group of thugs to take out your...

That's too bad...still, I might talk to your DM about a feat that gives you an extra use of an invocation, as if it were the rapid-shot feat, but with tougher prerequisites. Try this below: Rapid Shot Invoker [General] You are trained to be able to fire off more invocations in combat...

I know my gamer's would never let me get away with this huge scale. Cap it out at 15d6 (slap any gamer who disagrees over the head, then explain that the creature will be shielded underneath) as if mostly (3/4) immersed in lava, then roll five attacks, each at 3d6 damage, 3 on a miss. Do not...

I don't think this is how it works...I think that losing or gaining con only affects skills, saves (increasing your chance of hitting again), and a few other things. My personal favorite poison is something that does DEX damage, since most opponents a player faces won't have armor, so each 2...
