I like it - now I can run the longspear-armed kobold phalanx against my players :D

Namfoodle maintains his heroic defence of Seebor's lower limbs. OOC: Attack 11 +1 =12 so continues to grant Seebor +2 AC

The DMG (p205) states that druid animal companions are just ordinary animals, not magical beasts like familiars/paladin mounts. I don't have my PHB with me, but I recall the section on druid animal companions for 3.5 stating they *were* magical beasts with special abilities (including share...

(As noted above) Namfoodle grabs some herbs and stuffs them into one of the multitudinous pockets on his lurid tunic, then looks up with consternation at the sound of hissing and Neblin's petrification. Noting Seebor coming under assault Namfoodle churns his pudgy legs and sprints up to...

Sorry... OOC: Back again OOC2: Namfoodle has Alchemy, Know(Arcana) and Know(Nature) - but not Heal or Prof(Herb). I'm not sure which would apply here. Feel free to roll for Namfoodle and tell him whether he knows or not! If not, he will probably try to use Spellcraft or Know(Arcana) to work...

If they have 'precious little' skill points by class, then they haven't invested in (or been blessed with) intelligence. So they aren't good at as many skills. So what? If a dumb fighter comes from a farming background he can put two of his four points into farming, and the others into...

No - even then fighting defensively +3 AC, Expertise +5 AC, which stack --> +8 AC (compared to +6 for full defence) Fighting defensively/expertise can be a nice combination with Trip attacks - because they're touch attacks, you have a good chance of hitting even with penalties, and the...

Although it's 3.0 and unclear whether it will make it into the 3.5 splatbooks, the Ópposable' weapon enhancement allows use by wildshaped creatures. I would probably rule that without it, a Dire Ape form couldn't effectively wield a weapon.

Main House rules to date: Whip stays as a ranged weapon. It does not make sense as a melee weapon, and if anyone's ever played around with a whip, it is *not* a strength-based strike. Slingers can reload as a free action 1/round if they have Quick-draw, 1/round if they have Rapid Reload...

Actually, I'm the DM; it was two of my players that rolled the above. The 23-point character was viable (ST 8 DX 13 CN 12 IN 11 WS 13 CH 14) but it was more in comparison to the other character that it was obvious she would be less effective for a given level. I quite like the idea of giving...

While I have tended to like point-buy in the past, for the inherent balance of the method, I wanted to try rolling, to get the unpredictability, occasional odd score, and inspiration for a character very different from what you might have created given 'free choice' that it gives. Of course...

I don't know how much this is worth, but in the RPGA Legend of the Green Regent (3.5E) at GenCon the consensus ruling was that a charge could not be readied (even restricted to 1x movement.)

I have been ruling it that an AoO on someone trying to stand up takes place as they start to stand. Therefore the attacker gets the +4 attack bonus for a prone opponent, but as the opponent is not (yet) standing, she cannot be tripped.

Asking for 'help to design a Sorceror from the ground up' is unlikely to get many helpful responses, no matter what you put in the topic line :) Perhaps if you put together a Sorceror from 1st to 20th with the stated goals in mind, others might be willing to help you by critiquing and...

You cannot chain an Effect: Ray spell. When will people learn? :confused:

Healing 5 +2 +3 +6 =16 points

I thought that the half-ogre was +1 LA for a total +3 ECL as it had 2HD?

Hail to you. As a traveller from a far-off land, where outlandish creatures hop and crawl and small fuzzy bears wait in trees to drop on and maul unsuspecting passers-by I know little of your ways. I enter your demesne as a humble pilgrim to the great GenCon. The website of which I find...

Universalis without a doubt.

Try here as a starting point. Many of the most original and interesting RPGs aren't widely distributed, and some only available online. I strongly recommend trying Universalis for something a little off the beaten track.
