I would note that hide and ms are very strong, as are spot, listen and sense motive. By combining these already great skill, you make them a choice virtually no one will be able to pass up. tumble + balance = acrobatics. Athletics should likely get the skills jump, swim and climb as well...

I know what you mean, I am no fan of elves.

Or you could allow a character to train (at the expense of time, gp and maybe even xp) to gain an enhancement bonus to an ability score. It would likely cost 2 to 3 times what a normal ability boost item would due to being slotless and being immune to dispelling/AMF/disjoin.

My suggestion is to go with a jump gate system and relatively low speed travel. Make it so that a jump gate must be at both the destination and source location. Also make it so that when jump gates get to close to each other or a gravity well, they cause interferance with its operation. This...

How is this the same as kicking a player from your game because his character died? Wich is exactly what you assert when you made the statement:

You can get some wierd stable orbits. You could get a ring topology where a series of many bodies circularly orbiting a common center (with no object at that center). To get this configuration into something stable, you need to alternate between high and low mass objects. but a system of 3...

That would depend on the DM. My first DM was one to hand out decks of many things at every oportunity... Even to first level characters. Practically everyone had a deck and anytime we got sick of one of his campains, all we had to do is decide to draw a bunch of cards from one the the half dozen...

Meh. I just changed MDJ, it essentially acts as a chained greater dispell with no Caster Level cap or it can be used to target a single item with the standard disjoin effect. This way no one is completely screwed over with permenantly loosing all thier items.

I think B9S is sufficent definition, why have an 8 characters when you can have 3?

of course it does. It applies a bonus to the attack roll. when you make the confirmation roll, you make it with the same bonus as the original attack.

the answer is always 0, 1, e or Pi.

A characters death can be a heroic and significant part of a campain with tons of RP potential. Sometimes you get to say "Run, Fools! before delaying a balor, sometimes its less dramatic. But none the less an important point. Would I rather have a character die a heroic and dramatic death? than...

I once had a backup character named Justin Case.

I still say that the idea that all life will be destroyed is incorrect. A lot of organic matter will be frozen and preserved. And when the thaw comes, a lot of if will be deposited along with glacial till and mineral rich glacial melt water. that would be ideal for the return of plant life to...

Consider Cheiromancer's explanation, now assume that this "R light" is a particle with a particular speed and a definate lifespan, that could explain why it only goes to a specific range. The question that then arises is how does this work for creatures with different ranges of darkvision? The...

Only a few centuries of ice cover? Life is pretty hardy. A few centuries of ice cover will not kill all complex plant life. Some seeds, spores and "hybernating" plants will likely survive. And without competition, will likely flourish during the "big thaw". The world won't be the same, and all...

average. round up. 1d4 -> 3hp, 1d6 -> 4 hp, 1d8 -> 5hp, 1d10 -> 6hp, 1d12 -> 7hp.

I like the vancian system to a certain degree, it has some very strong features. But it isn't perfect for everything. In my next campain, I think that arcanists will be the only vancian casters with memorization (Though I will try to re-balance with fewer spells at once, but a rapid recovery...

Ah, I completely misunderstood. Or you could change the race to halfling, gnome or dwarf to get 100% xp penalty. Or you could swap wizard for bard. Or your could swap warrior for bard and chnge race to halfling or dwarf, that way you get only the 1 BAB. Its been a while since I did this and I...

Really? My 3.0 PHB and 3.5 PHB mention no such penalty. Could you point me to the location of this rule?
