There were many spells like this in 2E most from non-core sources. All of them could be categorized as metamagic magic. Looking at the design of 3.X it is quite obvious that all of these spells were converted into feats. It would be grossly unbalancing to allow these abilities as spells again.

So for bullrushes, disarms, grapples, etc. - ties all go to the one with the higher appropriate stat (I presume Str)? What about a disarm involving weapon finesse (aggressor or defender - doesn't really matter)? Intuition says just use dex instead, but I want to be clear about the RAW. More...

Do ties in opposed rolls go to the aggressor or the defender?

:) I know this is going to raise hairs. What about raising the dodge bonus to +2 and having it affect all opponents? Before I get stomped, hear me out. Would every character want this feat? Surely not - while it certainly would be a good feat, I would not imagine your average arcane...

One thing that would help is to know how much money you are willing to spend. If you are going for a non-WOTC world, there is a lot out there. However, some worlds are neatly contained in one book; others in 10. You said you did not drasitcally want a change in classes. IME, you may just...

How about: Human Monk 2, Fighter 4, (anything else to maximize your BAB: 2 more levels of monk, more fighter or whatever) (use OA rules for monks) Str 18, Dex 15, Con 13, Int 13, Wis 19, Chr 10 Feats: Freeze the Lifeblood, Deathblow, Expert Tactician, Combat Reflexes, Dodge, Mobility, Spring...

How about it? Do you use FRCS, UA, standard DMG? Anyone have a system that actually makes sense?

Sorry it has taken me so long to get back to everyone. Thanks for the replies. I did check out almost all of the links and have a 1st draft of my alternate sorcerer. I am hesitant to post it until I am finished, though (it involves 3 different files - actually 4, if I include my mod's to...

RoE is a great spell because of it's versatility: you can put it to good use against both high str and low str foes. Against high str foes, you cripple their major strength (pun intended :)). You reduce their to hit tremendously - and their damage often times even more so (against all those...

I played a paladin from 1st through 17th level. He was the divine might, spirited charge, leadership type of paladin. I found that he could be extremely effective (especially at higher levels) and could outdamage both the fighter and barbarian. However, this is with the caveat that he could...

Where is this city?

As the title says, I am looking for alternate sorcerers. As I am sure has been discussed time and time again, the sorcerer is not distinct enough from the wizard for me. I am working on designing my own but would like to see what others have come up with. Right now I am toying with the idea...

If forget the name now, but the barb/pal Prc in BoED is awesome. Multiclass barb with fighter and go into this PrC. Of course, for this to be any benefit you have to have a decent Chr - not one of the half-orcs strongest points. However, if you are willing to make that one of your top stats...

Your character suffer alot if you multiclass into cleric. Granted, the turning will remain the same and you will get more low level spells. However, you will no longer be able to operate as a front line fighter (well). Your buffs no doubt would include divine favor, protection from evil, aid...

What about a readied action to cast stone spell into something like a readied spear against a charge? What about stone shaping the largest volume possible of the ceiling to simply create a seam around a 3-D block so that once the spell is cast the block falls on the foe? What about shaping the...

Having poured through the Blasphemy spell for fear of its use against our party in RttToEE by Hedrak, I have come up with a wonderful counter to it: cast Silence on a melee-focused ally. That's right, in order for Blasphemy to work, you have to actually hear it. If you are deafened or are...

This thread brings up a question that I have had for a while: what happens with a creature with multiple natural attacks but no iterive attacks in a grapple? I have always played it that once the creature is grappled it can only make one grapple check per round (unless it has multiple iterive...

I have a spontaneous casting druid/ranger who uses just this tactic. He casts shillelagh on his quaterstaff along with spikes and has the sorcerer use bull's strength and enlarge. It is quite effective for a low level strategy. (He also is a fan of using smoke sticks and fire eyes together).

While this is subject to DM arbitration (is that a word?) with such limited use of persistent spell, no one in their right mind would ever take it as it is pretty much only useful for divine favor as so many have pointed out. Rather, they would just research a 7th level spell that gave a +1...
