Here's the problem, its not fluff, its the FREAKING WORD THEY USE TO DEFINE IT. Nobody reasonable can look at the predator while hes in stealth mode and go "ZOMG ITS INVISIBLE" I feel Invisible is not what it should be in this edition. Invisibility should be a much higher level spell/ability...

This has happened to me a few times, and I've always considered it something to be (kinda) planned for. Just be ready to create a BS a new setting and re-use the battlemat. Despite popular belief it shouldn't take longer than 4 or 5 minutes to do so.

This may be a volatile topic but I believe it warrants discussion. I've heard a lot of people I know explaining that they think the ONLY reasonable way to build a character follows this suit. 1. Find a race you want to play. 2. Find a class which has its secondary and primary stats line up...

Ive thought about it for a while and I've come to my conclusion. If you enter or end your turn in lava you take 3d12 fire damage and 5 ongoing fire damage. That's my personal conclusion.

A guy who turns into a beast and then uses animal swarms to prevent enemy actions does not scream martial to me.

If you want a fighter who can talk his way out of the electric chair, you gonna have to take some penalties. Its not a punishment, its a trade off. For additional instance, if I want a guy who can throw a spear, sling a spell, shoot an arrow, then whack a guy with a hammer, I can, its just...

I too, fail to see the reason you think once per day does not mean once per day.

I'm a big fan of "ok, now im going to show something to you, and you should assume it will kill you". I'm totally in favor of having lava do a lethal amount of damage at level 1 and non-lethal past level 10. But I believe I'm in the minority.

Sorry about the aggressiveness, I've had a player come to me several times because he keep rolling badly and wants me to do something about it...

I see the problems with this thread. 1. No pc should be expected to hit a soldier 6 levels higher than they are. That is simply a dm mistake 2. You seem to absolutely have to have a houserule. This is the Rules section, meaning we will try to explain your problem or fix it with the allowed...

------------------------------------------------------------------- Igor Level 11 Elite brute Medium natural humanoid XP 1,200 Initiative +4 Senses Perception +6; low-light vision Creepy-ass Aura (psychic) aura 2; enemies that enter or start their turns in the aura take a -1 to their will...

No?.... Yeah, I'm gonna go with no, just my gut-feeling.

I think they brainstorm tons of random defender powers and then say this "is it primal, earthy, plant like? Give it to the warden" "is it teleporty? Give it to the swordmage" "Is it diviney? Give it to the paladin" "Is it very controller-like or does it do a lot of damage or it doesn't fit into...

yeah do what you want in your campaigns, but if you penalize perception in anyway you are houseruling. Don't try to fit it into a reasonable interpretation cuz it dont.

Nifft you are more intelligent than this. Don't be disingenuous. I could just as easily shift things around to grab those feats very easily. I start with an 8 in str when I could just as easily start str at 11 and wis at 8, then shift a point somewhere in my leveling to get it to 13 As to the...

Ill just show you my bard. He's got a -1 to hit than he could, but otherwise I would not have a problem using him. I understand he's not complete but I was focussed on maxing the stealth skill. I think its a fair point: as long as your secondary stat is not vital to your success, you can do a...

I pointed this out in another thread but a valrous bard can have a decent stealth skill if he doesn't mind having a 14, 15 or so in con to begin with. Just switch-off between con and dex at point levels, grab a +2 stealth background, two feats and some stealth items and you will be up there.

I dont know how to accurately differentiate it from a controller, but its more powerful and single target. Instead of "you 3 people are immobilized, "you one guy can only attack me next turn. And think the opposite of a barbarian, high defenses low hp.

Id like to see a different idea with defenders, rather than "im big and take hits" something more like "i decide who you attack on a regular basis" Something like a one person controller with a bow. The first character I wanted to play in 3.5 was an artificer, but it just didnt seem useful...

I would enjoy playing them. Is that ok?
