Crunch may be high profit, but it tends to burn out an entire system if you add too much of it. Too much like homework for new players. However, you might want to look into the DMsGuild. It's currently a bit disorganized, but there's certainly a lot of stuff to go through.

http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?420298-My-Extended-Homebrew-Signature&p=19372539#post19372539 Check under the Fighting styles expandable in this guys post. I like their work, even if I'm a little iffy on how some of it is balanced.

First of all, you need to make sure there isn't a permanent Forbiddance spell on any area you plan on teleporting to. It's unlikely, sure, but since it's completely and truly impossible to TP into such on area by any means (or Plane Shift, or Gate, etc.) it's worth checking for by detect magic...

QFT.

'Typically', 'asks', 'secret door' and 'trap' all indicate that looking for things a character might have trouble finding does not necessarily involve the perception skill. It does not say to make a perception check. It says the DM is probably going to ask the player for one, particularly when...

Yeah, as far I'm concerned, that's the major design triumph of the neo-vancian mechanics. Planning out spells for an adventure in the 3.x era required either copious use of Divination spells to wheedle information out of the DM, trying to predict the future and read the DMs mind, or putting...

That section actually doesn't say to make a perception check in the 'finding a hidden object' box. Rather it says that no matter how high a characters perception might be, looking in the wrong place reveals nothing at all. That despite needing perception to see hidden things, you can't find a...

Or go mad with power and redesign the rate at which resources come back to the players. AND NO ONE CAN STOP ME!

Some physical features that are visibly obvious have implications which are not necessarily anywhere near as obvious. For example, picking up a feather and examining it visually might give many details about that feather: white for 1/3 of its length and reddish brown for the remaining 2/3s...

10 GP production cost, 25 GP sale, 15 GP pure profit. That's enough to make another device and a half, leading to an ever increasing profit margin. And they aren't listed as needing to be in working order in the above table.

I think maybe the Gnome devices should be removed, before anybody winds up with a group dedicated to making infinite money from free racial bonuses.

It never is, is it? Go to the trouble of creating a complex world full of moving parts for people to discover, and what happens? They walk up to the King on his throne and start talking trash with a handful of bat guano.

Huh. I've just realized a pretty good use for the Investigation skill. 'Roll to come up with multiple plausible explanations for why that thing we did just went wrong.'

You didn't see the video with the flashing lights did you? :p Quite frankly, it's less plausible that someone would carry around a bunch of secret trained snakes (they don't attack the summoner or the summoners friends!) that pick themselves up immediately after being thrown into the ground and...

Sticks to Snakes! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RDfOz_oKnF4

CoC is geared quite a bit towards combat. Just not in the favor of Investigators, but rather in favor of killing them in horrible ways.

Just tell him he can't duct tape them together to make one big superweapon and everything should be fine.

If you're planning on bring anything flammable to the Plane of Fire, don't No scrolls. No flammable clothes. No hair. No wood of any kind. Not even if those things are magic. Try for a Helm of Telepathy, if you can swing it. And some way of storing and retrieving large amounts of cheap food.

I wonder if you can use Skywrite to create cloud cover with enough casters. Be a great way to keep the sun off of people in an arena without needing to build a roof. Plus, you could carve holes in the clouds to make sunbeams spell out stuff on the ground. 'Buy Morg's fried fisheyes at the...

It's Bardrisma. :D
