While I that cutting spell slots isn't a terrible idea, I disagree with the core of your statement. You're suggesting that everything that Wizards has ever done has been balanced and good. A casual stroll through any edition they've been a part of will find things that they really, really...

I'm just going to tag Dandu here, since he seems to have hundreds of random characters prebuilt. Wish I could help you more, my books are in another castle.

Also, you get a fantastic hat.

Loonook: The very fact that he was interesting in figuring the amount of intelligence required suggests that he was interested in scientifically (rather than magically) inventing robotics. "Magic did it" should not be your default answer to everything, it is no better than the "God did it"...

Loonook Again, you're simplifying the idea of a large robot. Even being hollow, and even placing a person inside of, an Iron Golem is still a magically autonomous creature, rather than an interdependent husk.

Enhancement Bonuses don't stack with other Enhancement Bonuses, though they are both in effect simultaneously. You would use whichever bonus was better at the time. For example: Fist of Stone gives you a +3 to Attacks, Grapples, and Breaking/Crushing, but not to skills keyed to strength. If you...

Design a magical Holy Symbol that can be used only by the highest level cleric in the city - it might grant +2 to Turn Checks or a couple bonus spells, or some other feature appropriate for a Cleric of Fharlanghn. When the city's High Cleric is suddenly shunned by the deity blessed symbol...

I think he was referring to the idea of inventing them from scratch entirely. A mechanical, computerized, internally powered exoskeleton is something entirely different to a golem. In D&D terms, that Craft check would be Craft: Robotics, Craft: Computers, Craft: Blacksmithing, Profession...

As presented in AD&D, an int of 3 is an animal. Between 3 and 8 is retarded. An 8 is stupid. 10 is average intelligence. 18 is Einstein (or any genius level intellect). 20 is super genius, we're talking Kim Ung-yong or Gary Kasparov. From here on, it is purely conjecture. Beyond 20, no one...

Quark-gluon plasma is the most dense matter ever to be observed, and the only theorized source of a more dense matter would be a singularity/black hole. The LHC made the stuff in a few of it's experiments. It's pretty cool. Interestingly, a cubic centimeter of quark-gluon plasma would weigh...

Interestingly, using this system (which is a fun, interesting way to add some unnecessary complication to an otherwise bland skill), a level 1 Chef can Take 10 to gain a check of 19 (4 ranks, 3 int, 2 tools, before assistants) - more than enough to prepare every item you outlined in this post...

Conviction (SC 1) [+2 +1/6lvls max 5 morale to saving throws] Shield of Faith (SRD 1) [+2 +1/6lvls deflection AC] Divine FavorP (SRD 1) [+1luck attack and damage/3lvls max 3] Elation (BoED 2) [+2 morale str/dex, +5feet] Brambles (SC 2) (+1 enhancement dmg/lvl max 10) Recitation (SC 4) [+2...

I can see your point. I remember playing a Monk in 1e way back (Made it to Master of the North Wind [level 9, iirc]), and Stunning Fist was great (so were his thief abilities). However, I felt that with the shift to 3x, when Wizards decided to allow anyone with sufficient stats (BAB 8...

I apologise for the tardiness, I moved to Virginia and haven't been able to access the internet for a while. I agree with your central premise, that the majority of eastern martial arts are more about spiritual and personal growth as opposed to actual fighting, and I also agree that they are...

Real quickly Celebrim, if you know any martial artists who are proficient in that craft, ask them to stun you. I'm sure they'll be able to oblige, no magic involved! As I recall, in AD&D or 2e, they had the Component Pouch, which generally had all of the material components with little to no...

Done. He sold it to the gentleman who walked in before you. Subquestion 1: Done! The Wish cast by the ring can only effect the ring. Subquestion 2: VETO - allow a "redo" in a casual game or the spell has no effect in a more serious one. I could easily mess with it, though. "I" is an ambiguous...

"As Detect Magic" leads me to believe that you would follow the rules for Detect Magic. It'll be a 60' Cone. It's duration is "Concentration, up to 1 min./level". On the first round, you will notice the presence of absence of auras. On the second round, you will notice the number of different...

Is it not correct that you can either make one craft check per day, or one per week? Each check is for one item. If you can't make more checks, then you can't make more items.

I seem to recall a minimum of one day (eight hours of work) for any item, except in the case of ammunition (which are generally 50/day).

You'll forgive me for hacking our post apart. War Chanter does not grant more powerful Bard songs, it does not increase the effectiveness of Bard songs, it does not change the Bard level as it pertains to using Bard songs. You do not "gain two levels for each one for the purpose of [...]...
