Congrats. I'm starting graduate school in philosophy in the fall. Anybody want to toss ideas and the like at me?

Just take the first level or ranger. tasty skill points and some decent feats. There's nothing wrong with dipping. I promise.

iirc, there was something similiar to this idea in the liber mortis book. Also, 6 levels for a prestige class is abnormal. There's nothing wrong with it, its just unusual. Since Lich is 4 levels, I'd likely make it four levels and just slowly give out the affects of being a lich.

Level has something to do with it -- level regulates how many followers leadership will give you, which in turn regulates how many *families* have a member who works for him loyaly. You say he's got his own church, as well as the leadership feat. Leadership can give something around 20-40 guys...

My players seem to like my system. It is similiar to some of the other ways already mentioned, but both simpler and I keep my hands off the dice. Quite simply, if you don't like the roll you can always reroll it, just on the next lowest. I've seen a druid get down to a d4, which kind of sucked...

Gestalts are like overtime, they get level and a half. That's about right. So a 2nd level adventure, where its being planned for 4 2nd level adventures should be really hard for 2 1st level gestalts. Make them 2nd level, and it should be all good. so maybe run them through the local forest...

Any ninjas named Leonardo?

Hooray for no no mocking !!! Also, I'm thinking I'm going to give the clerics one domain at first and then have them gain one at five and every five. It'll mirror the feats wizards and sorcerers get. Wizards'll will be the item creation boys. Sorcerer's will craft magic on the fly. And...

Guys, Guys, Guys ... It seems rightly obvious to me that all the costs given are highly inflated. Why? Because its the prices the PCs and other adventures pay, not the real costs. The Order of the Stick had a good one on this. They had a town where the local cleric would heal anyone for free...

I'd think a cleric might not even want the saint template because it is going to adversely affect his spellcasting. Bonuses to wis and cha are all well and good, but if its two levels gone, then that's an entire spell level. The 10th level Sainted cleric has access to 5th level spells, while...

better you mock me than thane.

Very likely, the monk will be overpowered. its just how the vow stacks with monk benefits.

ARG -- That's basically what I was saying.

Excellent responces everybody. I don't think I'll necessarily limit the PCs, just give them bad looks if they do something like an elven wizard. DragonShadow -- why wouldn't you want to play one of these classes? HalfOrc -- I've also always liked to see elves as sorcerers. Its very Galadriel...

... I've more gone to a healthy diet. I really only run when chased. Every morning and every night, I have the juice of half a lemon in hot water. That's the basis of my new diet. After a few days, the lemon juice began to modify my eating desires. I've gone from drinking at least a dozen cokes...

This about sums it up. To make this not just a "me too" post: I say make him do a penance for what amounts to murder. Its understandable, given that the guy may well have been irredeemable, and from a utilitarian perspective its even a good act, but exalted characters arn't utilitarians. But...

Paul Atreides is a really, really good point. I had used him as an example to my players, but promptly forgot. He's something like a Mentat/Fighter/Bene Gesserit ... and that's before he's 16! Of course, then he multiclasses from fighter to Freme. Formidable, indeed. Later, he joins the prestige...

I've used them. I kind of like my barbarian/sorcerer. Its a little ridiculous. But really, what are they supposed to represent? Do we ever see in literature such characters, do they point to characters that feel like gestalt characters? Are there examples?

I like dwarves as wizards. For one, I don't think its been done before. We can all imagine dwarves who worship whatever deity the dwarves worship in a particular world. That's normal. But dwarven wizards? Its strange, and it feels all tasty in my mouth. I dig the idea of dwarves using magic...

I too learned how the guage of a shotgun is derived. But not because of gaming. Just because I was thinking about guns one summer. And so, naturally, I wanted to know why a 12-guage is bigger than a 20-guage. Its a reall archaic and pretty bad measurement system, imho. White Wolf helped with...
