I'm just gonna stand up here, raise my hand, and say "darn straight! Back in my day..." And, erm... I'm 23. ;) So, yes, I do, to a point, empathize with the original poster - though not exactly with his tone, or the declaration of the current game as pornography. I, like him, prefer my...

Even so, I'd suggest the feat requires a general caster/manifester level of 5, not with a handful of abilities that will never change. Which would then require the pixie to be at least ECL10 before he could pick up the feat - and with only 5 HD, there probably aren't that many things he could...

GenCon or not, man. It's threads like this that remind me how much pathological bloodthirsty homicidal maniacs love this place. :D Er... and people like me. That's it. Two. Distinct. Groups. Now pass the blades, Kae'Yoss!

I gotcha. I was just posting from work yesterday, and all three of the online SRDs I know of are blocked by the filter. I'm constantly amazed that ENWorld isn't. :D That said, now that I'm looking over it with the description of what they benefit from... hrm. I may consider their covey...

Kae'Yoss and HeavenShallBurn pretty much covered the basics of it, actually. :) I wouldn't. It's nice and altruistic, but Sohmer and Lars have requested that folks not post MP3 cuts from it - they plan to do a high-quality one themselves, and they'd rather not have less-than-clean bits...

Hrm. I'm without books right now, but from what I recall of the recommended CR system, two creatures of a given CR make for an EL CR+2 encounter. So we could break it down such that: The Annis Hag, at CR6, could be represented as a pair of CR4 monsters (by the rule that two CR4 = EL6.) We...

I'm currently running a druid focused on wildshape - you know, one of those traditional "can survive without magic items" guys. :) Way more worried about death, personally.

I love it. I pulled it off of YouTube over the weekend, gutted the video, and stuck the MP3 that remained onto a flash drive... thus bringing it to work, where I've listened to it off and on all day. The poor naive girl that works at the circ. desk near me keeps grinning and asking why I'm...

Um... am I missing something, or is there no actual system here?

Ignoring the general merits and issues with it for now, the first thing I'd suggest is to change the prereqs slightly so that melee characters aren't the only ones who can reduce LA in the early/mid levels. No reason to prohibit casters, after all, especially when they're already the ones...

If you haven't already, check out Wonderfalls, by Tim Minear. Great show in it's own right, and Fargo/Neil has a bit of a role in it, though not as large as that in Eureka.

(Posting here to address both this question and the one you've got about making Knowledge skills class skills.) The Education feat (ECS, FRCS, Ghostwalk) adds all Knowledge skills to your class list. Trivial Knowledge (Races of Stone) grants you, if I remember, a sort of Bardic Knowledge - not...

In a lot of ways, what you're talking about is similar to a Vitality/Wound system, where Vitality represents natural stamina/getting out of the way, is bypassed by crits, and DR doesn't apply. Wound points are your second category, though they're not divided into "bleeding/non-bleeding."...

In my game, I dropped the Charisma penalty - looking at it as sense of self, I decided not to have any core races with a Charisma penalty - and added a +2 bonus to Jump, Intimidate, Swim, and Survival. Topped it off by granting Endurance as a bonus feat. It's gotten them to a place where...

Hey, thanks! [Grins.] Yes. We might want more, but a well-done, one-off book to update older settings really is enough. Except for Ravenloft; frankly, I think Arhaus did well enough with that while they had it licensed to not be worth putting out a "WotC-version." I feel the same way about...

Honestly, I don't know if that's true. While, yes, druids do tend to end up particularly high Wisdom scores, while wildshaped they have phenomenal Strength. At 8th level, for instance, they can assume the form of a polar bear, with a 27 Strength. The odds of their Wisdom being high enough by...

Hrm. Eight products, huh? Well, let's say we define our focus first, shall we? In any given year, we want to include both generic sourcebooks and those that are world-specific. The two current WotC worlds being Faerun and Eberron, let's give the same number to each - two. That leaves us...

Yup. I love that spell, and I've been abusing it wholeheartedly since level 1. Enough, anyway, that the DM decided to nerf the free trip attack the wolf gets on a hit. (Which is fine, because it felt broken even playing it.)

It's attached to the post. It should be reasonably self-explanatory, and the cells wherein it may not be are commented in, so it shouldn't be any trouble to play around with. Let me know if something seems strange or you're not sure how to see a test you're trying out. And if you're using an...

I know in my case, I could phrase it - better, I suspect - as "they are no longer more relevant than several other publishers." In the past, they were - with Malhavoc running really close behind, but I still looked first to the WotC stuff. Like DK, however, I've found that the style is slowly...
