His original structure - that he zipped on his end - had a "Data" folder. When he zipped up the lot, the ZIP file retains the file heirarchy, and, thus, keeps the folder. In WinZip, when you use the "extract" command, it restores the file hierarchy (which is often necessary to make whatever...

I always love when this thread pops up again. It's one of my favorites. You did nice work, Gez. :)

Not necessarily. Pre-selected feats are rarely worth as much as feats of your choice. Moreover, he already stated he wouldn't use that feat, so giving it up costs him nothing. I'd say it's probably worth about half a feat - meaning, one of the weaker feats that fits his style.

Hiya, folks. I've been digging through old issues of Dungeon for inspiration, and came across the Mere of Dead Men block - something I always wanted to run. So I'm thinking of adapting it a bit - to Eberron - and tying it into a larger story. Problem is, I don't have the first two pieces. I'm...

One thing I'd recommend if you're going to do that is toning down when synergies apply - especially with Diplomacy, which has three separate skills that provide synergies, you could be moving from a net +6 bonus to +15.

I believe - though I can't come up with any quotes at the moment to back it up - that they were deliberately leaving Xen'drik untouched as of yet so as to allow licensed properties - most especially Dragonshard and the D&D Online game - room to develop without contradicting established canon.

One thing to consider - and it may well go against your vision, so it's obviously disregardable - but if he's all about manipulating darkness, that doesn't necessarily rule out all blasting and buff-spells. I want to say there's a "Spell Thematics" feat somewhere that adds a certain theme, but...

One thing worth noting is that most - if not all - systems that have a class-based Defense bonus reduce it by two every time you take the first level of a new class. (WoT, page 63, second line under Defense bonus; Star Wars, page 64, second line under Defense Bonus.) Since no class has a...

I think it's a grand idea - another useful method of categorizing them would be to decide on a set of archetype labels, and use those. Say, "tank," "skirmisher," "healer," "summoner," and so on. Since you can stretch the classes so much, that'd probably be more useful than being able to sort...

No, it doesn't. But if you take a full-round action, then burn two points for a standard action... That said, I understand what you're going for. I'm playing around with action points, too, but I'm more likely to go with an amount per day equal to their Charisma modifier. Period. (My...

I don't know if it'd change your evaluation, Li, but I wasn't talking about making it a feat, but rather a special ability the fighter got at higher levels (which levels was still up in the air.)

It wouldn't be, say, this thread, now, would it? :D

That's a consideration, yes. The levels in the example were relatively arbitrary - wanted to space it evenly, and I really wanted them to get the final iteration of the ability at level 20. This is true. Which, I think, means that it's probably better to just focus on the feats where it's most...

(Yup. Another "fighter's are underpowered after about level eight" thread. I'm going to be working from that perspective for the rest of this post, by the way.) I think the best-known issue with fighters is the fact that, while they get a large number of feats - they're the "feat masters," as...

You know, I almost left out that example, because I'm just as convinced it's a great weapon. 'specially since it's the only non-exotic double weapon. (For what it's worth, my group is composed of a number of people who all hate dual-wielding with a passion. And a few who are indifferent to it...

I was talking to one of my players this afternoon, who's currently gearing up for a ranger, and he mentioned that he'd like to focus on a quarterstaff, thematically. It fits his vision. Thing is, it's a simple weapon, which means that, mechanically, it's flat out not as good as martial...

Hey, folks. I'm actually trying to find something, and not having any luck. I remember seeing a feat (or possibly a class ability?) that grants one's allies a morale bonus the round following killing an opponent. Anyone have any idea what it might be? (For that matter, anything you know of that...

There was a neat thread on this a while back... 'scuse me while I find it. [Edit] And, here it is. http://enworld.cyberstreet.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=22676 We've been using a slight variation of those rules ever since I first stumbled across that thread.

Well, bah. I knew there'd eventually be medical fallout to last summer's sword in the eye thing. Bugger. ;) (Just confirming, got the e-mail. Take your time, PC.)

I don't think it's complete - if the description of the spell was correct, then the duration is permanent. Which means it can be dispelled. And if it's been enchanted between the initial casting of resize and the dispel, well... then it's no longer a valid target. (I actually don't know if...
