Amen! Glad we could clear the air! :)

This is not how I do things IMC. IMC, the only way that a PC gets 300XP is if he or she actually defeated the animal alone. I always divide this up by the number of PCs - in my case, 7 - which comes out to about 43XP a piece. I already DO simple math in my XP calculations, I just don't want...

Ah...thanks a bunch guys!!

I have to laugh at the XP misers here. :) You mean to tell me that the 300-1000 (Cr 1 to what, 10?) I might get from defeating an animal companion is going to make a sniff of difference in the grand picture of things? Even legendary animals (from the ELH) are no more than CR 10 and, really, at...

The wording is a bit tricky. I just looked at it myself and where it talks about feats it uses this wording: "...you gain X as a bonus feat while in this form." To me, a "bonus" is something extra and that seems to be the case here. The only reason that I can think of that they state that you...

This particular character also is a psychic warrior and something I've been wondering. Expansion does not have a limit on who it can be used on. Granted the caster has to be a psychic warrior, but if they are (as in this case) and they are large, this is the same problem. Is expansion broken...

so far we're waiting for someone who 1) has the time (not I :( ) and 2) doesn't already have an epic game on these boards (Jemal). Sooo..if you know anyone.. :D

Good point... thanks for postin! :)

I have a druid in my campaign that is using this alternate class ability and he keeps his feats when he shifts. It seems to work fine so far. He also gains the feats stated in the individual form entry for each form, but only while in that form. So far I haven't had any balance issues with...

I think i did but I was referring to the total grapple check (+8 size bonus). Thanks for making sure though, they can all get cloudy at times! :) Yeah it is sort of easy to do that. I think I could come up with some situations where the tactic could not be easily (possibly) employed...

LOL...i would hardly think so. :) Yeah...it's a tough call. I'm debating with one of my player's (the race creator) about how it affects the game balance. His character was a grappler and of course the wizard in the party saw the "+8 to grapple checks" on the size Huge chart and thought "Why...

Hmmmm...maybe we make the two larger subspecies in this race monstrous humanoids to prevent that problem from arising. Good point on LA not counting for spells..I hadn't even thought about it like that. Correction. Unless the SRD is incorrect at this location...

Just curious on what the community thinks on this... We've got a custom race in our homebrew campaign setting that are humanoids. Two subspecies of this race are Large. As you might guess, the party wizard had a field day casting "enlarge person" on this cat-man (basically the "feline"...

Hey Jemal, How about changing the thread title to "Epic players looking for DM"? Might be a bit more descriptive now that we have a set of players. Any house rules you guys have found particularly useful for Epic play? (since we're all epic fans here)

I guess epic level dms are hard to find as epic level characters in-game, eh? :)

I saw your name on this post too Pyrex...and you'll definitely be in on it. Wow...old memories...*sigh* Wish there were 48 hours in a day... :)

Awesome...well, maybe we can actually get this one going this time. :)

Jemal, Actually, I think you were in a first level game of mine back around the same time as well. Still ended it because I thought the world was going belly up (IRL). :) Probably don't remember me though. Man...I'd love to DM an epic game. But right now I'm devoting too much time to my TT...

Heh...i hadn't posted in a while and i was looking at my sig and the old games i was in/DM'd. I still would like to do that one (because the world has come back to me and is better than ever) but I'm not sure if I'm ready to take on that sort of campaign yet. Maybe in the future but I'd need...

Definitely interested in an epic campaign specifically for the reason Jemal mentioned earlier. Story and character development are paramount because more thought goes into the character. I have a few concepts and I don't think the epic rules are "stupid" or "silly" as some others tend to, but...
