Agreed with the exception of #3. If you fix #1, #2, and #4, then #3 shouldn't matter. Furthermore, just because companies crank out more prestige classes doesn't mean that the DM should allow them. Thankfully, since I'm using all homebrewed Prc's, I can easily handle all of this. I'd probably...

My advice, without knowing anything about the Midnight books other than what Ashrem Bayle and company tell us here on the boards from time to time, is this: Buy the book!! Come on, the author(s) put a lot of work into the setting, it's just cheesy to try to run a Midnight campaign without...

Check out Morningstar by Goodman Games, it might save you a whole lot of work, to use in full or just to mine for ideas. http://www.goodman-games.com/4100preview.php

Interesting thread. I agree that the fighter is poorly designed. Great for the low levels + horrible at high levels leads to an extreme multiclass incentive which is poor design. Weapon specialization/greater weapon focus/greater weapon specialization with their "fighter level X" seems merely a...

My mistake. Not sure what I was thinking, we don't even use point buy in my group, we use 4d6 and I meant that my 5x3d6/15-X method was harsher than the "standard" 4d6 which generates characters with much better scores. I wasn't attempting to compare the power of point-buy vs. rolled-up...

Ditto. "Other" for me too; please take a little more time to create poll choices if you want to attach some meaning to the results. Anyway, here's my "other" method; it mixes the randomness of rolling with the similarness* of point buy. *I don't want to say "fairness" because any system can be...

Like most polls I see here on enworld, I'm not voting for this one, because there's too little information presented to make sense of. If I were to vote and give answers, it would totally depend on the sub-genre, style, flavor, etc. of the hypothetical game. For instance, if you are making a...

Thanks guys. We did rule that it required a Concentration check DC 10 but I like Norfleet's detailed rules below for future use. Basically, this was the first round of combat, and the illusionist "stepped up" to cast because he won initiative. No combat had occurred yet, and we have a feeling...

Last night, our illusionist attempted to "squeeze" into the fighter's square and cast color spray at the enemy dire rats. While we found the rule about taking a combat penalty for squeezing, we didn't see anything about whether you can cast a spell while squeezing. We made something up, but I'm...

Wasn't mine, but my favorite horse name: "Dungstrider."

I'm not sure why, but your pitiful cry stirred my heart, and I looked into my home-made puzzles for you. I don't really have anything dwarven forge specific, but here is one that might be modifyable to fit your campaign and the dwarven vault: This puzzle is best broken out into 4 rooms, so that...

Eh. The real world doesn't have any other humanoid races for comparison, so giving Endurance to humans based on humans being durable on Earth doesn't make much sense when you are talking about playing a game in a fantasy world. If I were you, and didn't want humans to be bland/average, I'd make...

In the rules forum on this thread about the Arcane Archer the following comments were overheard: Grog: If you're playing 3.5, don't play an Arcane Archer. It's an utterly pointless class. Bow and arrow bonuses don't stack in 3.5, so the fact that the AA always shoots +whatever arrows is...

I don't like to view this as a combat vs roleplaying paradigm. Rather, I aim for a session to contain about 75% high-tension vs 25% low-tension situations. High-tension situations can manifest in the form of straightforward combat, perhaps a serious diplomatic discussion, sneaking into a...

Will Power v0.5 is available. Now with programmer art! Thanks for the laundry list, Drawmack. After thinking about your proposal for limiting caster level to MAX(SpellcraftRanks - 3,1), I decided to go with this: caster level = MIN( Character Level, Spellcraft Ranks ) Btw, Spellcraft is not...

Feel free to check out my Will Power system of unified mysticism which includes a "spellpoint" system as well as ways for non-spellcasters to use their inner willpower (the same energy that powers up spells). -- Zerakon the Game Mage

I've looked over the file, but I'm having a hard time really getting into it. Probably because it is in an unfinished state, I'm having difficulty understanding it. Maybe if it had some examples of casting, I could grok it more... or it could be that I've been so busy with work that my brain is...

More like I went to work. Good grief, can you be any more rude, Zogg? I suppose you could have added more rolly-eyes like you did on your previous post. :rolleyes: This is the second time that I've posted a question on these boards and encountered rude, brief, condescending answers, and it sure...

I am seriously getting tired of reading remarks like this on these boards. Perhaps you should take a geography course when you're done with Condescension 101. I do? With regards to geography? I'm fine with letting go of reality and imagining mages and priests and demons and such, but I prefer...

I was just looking at the Diamond Throne preview at www.montecook.com and looking at the map of the Diamond Throne, it strikes me as really strange that there is a river leading down from the Bitter Peaks that runs southeast and then effectively straight through another mountain range, the Elder...
