Nonstandard races are not for me. If size category wound up being very important I think I would get some sort of enlarge person woundrous item or something. Is there anything that increases trip attacks opposed rolls out there? Anything that treats you as larger? I already have unarmed...

Quickdraw is only there for the prereq to hurling charge. I got lucky with stat rolls - 17 str. Also, keep in mind the feats: Deft Opportunist gives +4 to AoO, and Improved Trip gives +4 to the check. As a straight str check, this guy defintely has the advantage.

Actually, IIRC, the small races in the PHB are at quite an advanatage from a balance perspective: normally the bonus from increasing from small to medium is a +4 str, -2 dex meaning that the converse ought to be a -4 str, not a -2. The halfling can have the highest attack bonus of all the...

No one's a taker?

I hope I didn't suggest that they weren't. I was only saying that the d20 Rokugan stuff was so good for the uninitiated (those not involved with L5R) that the new people they attracted I believe will be loyal to the world. I was not implying anything about the non-d20 followers.

The entire purpose of immovability power is to protect the dwarven heartland - do you think not moving would be beneficial outside? Dwarven Defenders are mechanically designed to safeguard crucial entrances/exits by physically interposing themselves between those they are protecting and those...

*Smiles at the compliment* Thanks for the props :). I was rather proud of myself and thought that might entertain the board's interlopers. I am not sure how much you have seen the combo classes in action (it sounds like you haven't) and I am not sure how well you know the mechanics of the game...

I had never even heard of L5R except for perhaps seeing a box of card packs at the local RPG shop and thinking that perhaps they made another M:tG card game this time with a feudal japan flavor. The advent of OA was my introduction to Rokugan and when I saw the hard cover campaign world source...

2 Types of PrC's To me there are two types of PrC's: setting specific and non-setting specific. There are those PrC's like Radiant Servant of Pelor, Red Wizard, or Iaijutsu Master that are clearly setting specific - you might adapt them elsewhere but they were designed with a specific...

While I would say that the system is still d20, I have made quite a few changes to 3.5. Almost every change is incorporation of a mechanic or flavor from an earlier system (either 2.0 or 3.0) and is motivated by my sense of realism. For example, I include weapon proficiency slots, although I...

I want to design a versatile warrior who excels in melee combat. I am looking for several things: 1. Great defensive capabilities (AC, Saves, etc.) 2. Battlefield Control (mobility, motility, and threat range) 3. Strictly martial abilities - I am not looking for a spellcaster, although I...

Would the following be balanced? Wondrous Item - usable 1 or 3x/day (standard action to activate) Cross, approximately the size of a tower shield, manifests ~2-3' away and rotates around activator for 1 round/level (figure 9th or 10th level caster) providing cover (for 3.5) or 3/4's cover (for...

For Clarification Sorry, I guess I was a bit vague. Given the supplies at a nation's disoposal in 3.X D&D, they could engineer specific modern-esk tactics. Spells exist to substitute in for communication, information gathering, and artillery, and creatures exist for many specialized...

So how would you create an army to act in the fashion of modern warfare complete with communications, heavy artillery, tactical nukes, amphibious assaults, the air force, etc.

If you take a level in Iaijutsu Master, you can finesse the katanna.

Here's a thought: I might be able to get away with the mechanical function of the firing mechanism if I used a gnomish artificer (from MoF) to craft it. There is that spell thrust item or something like that (I think it is a 1st level spell and acts just like the thrust bolt spell (0th) but...

Its all up in my original post. Here it is descriptively: I want a round shield with a sharp edge that can be fired like a projectile, retun to the firing mechanism (like a boomerang), absorb electricity, and release that absorbed electricity. As a separate function I want the shield to be...

I wonder if people look at my post and stop reading after the second paragraph. If that's the case, here is the short version: is it legal to have a small shield be animated and dancing at once? If so would it be fair to make their activations (animation and dancing) normally each a separate...

I have this mental image: a bracer with an attached disc of metal that is shaped much like a buzz saw blade (with saw tooth edges) and a reinforced slightly curving interior resembling a buckler or small round shield. The disc can be fired like a projectile attaining phenominal rotation speeds...

I have seen Aid come up quite a bit in a RttToEE game I am in. However, it was quite indirect with casting summon monster to get lantern archon(s). They can cast aid at will and if you summon them up for their continual MCaE they also can cast aid at least once before they are killed. They...
