That's a good point, DEFCON, I certainly don't want anyone else to feel like I'm stealing their thunder. I could make pretty much the same character concept as a fighter instead, although between a paladin, a ranger, and a fighter, there just might be enough tanks already. It's still fightery...

Sorry it took me so long to get my character up, school's been busy... Name: Serkhaan Ioshna Class: Druid Race: Half-Orc Size: Medium Gender: Male Alignment: Neutral Good Deity: Kalok Shash Str: 16 +3 (06p.) Level: 1 XP: 0 Dex: 12 +1 (04p.) BAB: +0 HP: 9 (1d8+1) Con: 12...

Laughing out loud... I kinda realized a little while after I came up with the idea that he was something of a Raistlin rip-off. Oh, well.

Starman, you might want to know that Bobacus has finished the character sketches which Creamsteak and I requested, they're here. I rather like the way mine turned out.

That's freaking awesome, Bobacus! The bandages turned out exactly the way I imagined them, and I love the hair.

Yup, the Dragon Disciple is pretty much worthless to a primary caster. For a fighter character with only 1 level in sorcerer, it's halfway decent... still pretty far from a great class, though.

If there's a slot left open, I'd like to join. I've been wanting to play a Warforged Artificer for a while; it ("he"?) scoffs at the monks and philosophers who speak of the struggle to "understand oneself," because it understands completely how it works (on a physical level, that is - it has a...

Dragonhide armor is pretty much the same as normal armor, except that druids can wear it (since it's not metal). Exactly what kind of armor you can make out of a dragon's hide depends on the size of the dragon, and I believe it's in the MM in the first page or two of the "dragon" entry. EDIT...

No, we're telling you that the designers decided that a duration of "24d4 minutes per caster level" was way too much freakin' effort, even though it still averages out to the same duration. The D&D system is just a set of rules to imitate a fantasy setting, not necessarily the way that the...

It seems rather badly underpowered for an epic feat (although maybe that's just me?). I would have no problem with it allowing you to ignore XP penalties for multiclassing altogether.

The hamster is running on the wheel for 5 minutes. The wheel is rotated at a speed of 39.6 radians per minute. This means that in 5 minutes, the wheel rotates through a total of 198 radians. One radian is a length equal to the radius of the circle (or in this case, of the wheel). 198 radians is...

Blech, stupid essays. Haven't had much time lately to read up or post. Um, Telinor could be in that area because of a request from one of his professors at the University of Wynarn to investigate such-and-such arcane effect in someplace around there (Black Pit would be interesting...). Even...

If the universe is finite, there's no such thing as "outside the universe." The concept of "outside" implies the existence of space, but if there is space, it is by definition a part of the universe. As such, a question of what is "outside of the universe" is just as irrelevant as asking what...

I don't deny that there can be a character knowledge of spell/caster levels, I deny that there has to be one. It's a side effect of the rules, and not something that the characters necessarily realize. D&D isn't realistic, and it's not supposed to be. It's not supposed to be super-detailed...

Gestalt progression might not be needed, since the characters could continue to advance their magical abilities (via skill points) no matter what class they were taking levels in. Saevi... um, that guy above me... had a good idea with the feats. There could also be a feat which made one or two...

I changed Burst of Speed to a (Su) ability. I can't see any problems with allowing Burst of Speed to stack with speed bonuses from things like Expeditious Retreat; after all, you're still just moving really far as a full-round action, and it's still not even as good as dimension door.

Hum... allowing all spells to be cast based off of only two skills (Knowledge [Arcana] and Spellcraft) seems a little too easy to me... most characters could max ranks in magic skills and have plenty left over. I've thought about this myself (coincidentally, I was also thinking about it with the...

Shrug. I still like it better for spell level and caster level to be OOC ideas. I don't think it's necessary for it to be something that in-game characters can figure out, any more than an in-game fighter should call himself a fighter of the third circle because he can make 3 attacks. That is...

In my games, spell levels are not even referred to in-game; they're an entirely out-of-character concept. The character knows and understands that fireball is more difficult to cast than scorching ray, but he doesn't know what "2nd level" and "3rd level" means. This is similar to the way that...

I say that adding some other benefit would be important, because even with a huge penalty (like -20) to tracking by scent, I still can't see anyone taking it except under the most extreme of circumstances. You could also halve the distance at which the character could be detected by scent, and...
