Tough one. I think he has a very good point, but I'd dislike followers / familiars / companions / summoned creatures feeling mechanically like equipment or a spell. Of the top of my head, I could compromise with something like: * give followers 1 action / turn (and allow a double-move as a...

Or a fiendish boar. With monsters dying at 0 hp, another way to model its ferocity could be to give it more than one action / round. I'm picturing a really hyperactive devil boar shredding its way through a group of soldiers. Would it be wrong to have an Animal as a solo monster?

Ah, I missed / forgot that. Too bad, I was getting my hopes up for a second.

Has there been any rejection of the idea of Ranger as Martial Controller? The Iron Heroes Hunter would have been a mix of Controller & Leader, as I recall. I was just thinking that if the guys the ranger was "blasting" were the mooks swarming around the battlefield, then that could be...

At one time I was tinkering with the system to provide an energy-drain based Turn Undead rule, but I lost my notes and interest in the project. But here's what I remember... 1) The DC Turn DC = 10 + Undead HD + Undead CHA adjustment [+Turn Resistance bonus if appropriate] e.g. 6 Human Warrior...

I'm thinking about making the longbow a martial weapon when used to fire one arrow / round as a full attack action, but exotic if you want to fire multiple arrows / round [Full Attack] or one arrow / round [Standard Action]. Similar to the bastard sword's martial / exotic dual nature. The low...

I ran into the trouble as has been mentioned before with not being able to send my submission via express mail to a P.O. box the day before the deadline. A lesson learned I guess, and next time I won't keep making edits at the last minute. But good luck to those that did enter, and I'm having...
