You could create an expertise type of structure. You may take -x/+x to action roll/AC vs. AoO up to +/-5. I would only make this a feat if , oh, Improved Disarm & Improved Sunder were combined into 1, and Improved Bull Rush with Improved Trip. Otherwise, I would just leave it as a combat rule.

If it is part of a truly unified character concept, I don't give a penalty. If it smacks of a career change or a character trying to maintain two divurgent penalties, I use the standard rules. In that style, a 'class combo' is treated like a single class, which is the point of those schemes...

In the name of the Thesaurus God, you forgot 'Gelid'. So Charisma bonus as a coldly regal presence, all eyes turned toward the white being who sweeps into the room... Okay. But Gather Information is not the skill that would be increased. If anything, it would be harder to make casual...

Moonsword- condolences. The Abyss Gate: The abyss is a pit, often cold where Hell is generally hot. I can picture the endless depths of the Abyss as being molded by an ancient evil out of the depths of ooze, that unformed stuff being shaped into inhabitants and given order by this dark being...

Cool stuff. Some of the later ones are definitely over-priced compared to the tradeoffs. I don't fully grok the Charisma bonus. Charisma is not particularly about physical appearance in 3rd edition, and with all the talk of dampened emotions, I would have expected the possibility of a penalty...

I quite agree with you. I was just proposing a fairly viable in-game reason. Keeping Monk PrC's to a minimum to de-emphasize that whole monk-zone is right with my own philosophy. My campaign is pretty of Euro-flavored, and I did drop the Monk. Traces of them can be founded in my more...

That's why I think all spells/powers in a spell point system should use the nice psionic numbers. Level: Cost 0: 3 free + 1/spell 1: 1 2: 3 3: 5 4: 7 5: 9 6: 11 7: 13 8: 15 9: 17 Now your Wish spell is worth 17 Magic Missiles- you've just wished for a slightly less than 40% charged Wand of...

Are you using the optional rules of insta-kills if a crit confirmation roll crits and its confirmation hits? If you are, maybe the whole thing would be simplified by saying a Vorpal which threatens a crit automatically crits, and if it 'confirms' the crit, it kills. Or replace all statements...

Yes, and don't forget that while daggers are nice, simple weapons of mayhem and death, the innocuous pineapple is an exotic weapon unless weilded in melee.

More good points. Thanks. Gather Information & Hide have been removed. I decided to add listen on the basis of awareness of threats around you, it suits a vision of a guy training while blindfolded. And naturally, where Listen is a tool for detecting danger, MoveSilently is justified as a...

+1 per level total, or to each of AC & Attack, as I just changed it to? The are of specialization for this character is not getting hit & single combat. In that field he should be distinctly better than anyone else. In general combat, he is a rogue, with two bonus feats, and a bonus to...

I am not up on most of the Splatbook PrC's. I've been meaning to look them over.... But more importantly, I want a 5-level class, I want it to be broad enough in nature to be used for a hardcore duelist through a light-hearted swashbuckler, and I want it to carefully fit my setting. When I...

DOn't know what Pause and Multi-Item creation are, but just by the names I've been trying to figure out how to house rule the ideas into the main creation rules in a balanced way. Maybe a Greater Crafting feat. Pausing creation and working on multiple projects is a fantasy staple for...

I think under many conditions there will turn out to be a varying circumstance bonus the spell will give to Intimidate checks. A sentence recommending the range might be worthwhile. Adding a fear effect really twists the flavor. A variant called Demonic Scream might be cool. Damage & Fear...

Just had an idea... One of the more expensive things you can do with precious metals is make it part of your wardrobe. With the new damage reduction, maybe monks will stop being so against wealth, and buy some nice cloth of holy silver gloves. And that dashing swashbuckler with his Cloth of...

Hm. One thing to remember is that religions tend to form splinters. Heretic movements. Perhaps in the setting there could be a group of 'Listralans' who broke away, and determined that before their own enlightenment can be pursued, they stability of the surrounding world must be repaired...

They don't live under water, they have the option of nearly indefinite stays... Auquan should be on the available language list though.

I agree with Technik I understand the purpose of Clan Elder but that sort of thing is SO for PC's only, even beyond the need to adventure with clan-members that some of the other abilities require. In many campaigns, when you become Clan Elder its time to retire. Personally, I favor a type of...

I am somewhat conflicted about whether two torments = tortured, as can be seen by the confusing text. Tormented is supposed to be pain enough that it distracts the mind, and sucks life from the personality. Tortured is that you have literally sustained physiological and psychological damage...

It was my thought that pain during combat would be an optional rule. It would clutter things up a lot. Of course, this nothing wrong with creating poisons or weapon enchantments that invoke temporary pain. :rolleyes: I am sooo a RBDM when they put me on sugar and don't do what I want. I've...
