Yes, I voted Bard. The poll says favorite, not most effective. To me, nothing say roleplaying more than a bar-hopping, sword-wielding, story-telling bard. Not that they are terribly effective in a standard fourperson party, though. To be fair, I like elements of all of the core classes. But...

Let me second RW's proposal of Elements of Magic. Very cool and extraordinarily dynamic system. And, since I had nothing to do with the production of the work, my opinion is purely as a reader/player who has used the system. It is definately worth the read and the buy (especially since I...

That's what the Prereqs are for. Skills: Any skills that are used as a base level entry determination (Like Hide 8 ranks for a class that can be entered at 6th level) must be on the class list for the favored class. Non level determning skills (Like Knowledge [Geography] 4 ranks for the same...

How about a moderate house-rule? PrCs grant half the expected value so long as the PrC is reasonably based off of the favored class. So, the NPC would get the 5 from the bard levels and 2 for the evangelist. So it's not a total win, but not a total loss, either. If you are looking at feats...

I also like the new icons. I didn't care for the red, but like the orange much better. But I also really liked the old menu bar. The words in the icons are too hard to read. But I like them larger and below the menu bar on the front page!

Najo, forgive me if I have brought this up with you before. If so, I apologize. But looking over this list I feel the desire to point you in the direction of my sig (and yes, please forgive the self-promotion). But if you want to avoid most if not all of these issues you should really look at...

Agreed. No shift needed. The cleric may want to find better friends to hang with, as the rest of my opinion is no favorable to the party at all. Agreed again. Character's dead, player might be advised to pull punches, nonlethal strike, etc. If the cleric did no damage, there's no reason to...

God news! I have a beta version up in the game that I DM on the DSP forums. You should be able to find it here: Forays into Destruction. I think it is the ninth or so post on the page. However, you may have to have an account and be logged in to view it. I'm not entirely sure about that...

Okay ... there was one significant problem that I had to overcome. How to make a spreadsheet that is easy to use but yet capable of taking into account a skill system that may change as a character's skill rating fluctuates throughout their career. That stumped me back when the original post...

Well, I've done some thought and some work in this area, and I have a solution. I've sent it to Angellis_ater for final preview and then with a little luck it'll be sent to layout. It doesn't remove the dependency on items ... because as you say in an earlier post that would require an overall...

Oh, I get it! :o :angel: Man, have I been taking that message the absolute wrong way. I've been taking that message as though there was a problem. As in ... "you couldn't be logged out by the server because you already were logged out by the system. before you could hit the button." Never...

Well, so long as it forgets me hen I log out ... that's not bad. You just have to remember to log out, which is no problem for me. Yeah, no doubt! I'm using the newest IE and XP.

And, I'm back so quickly. Interestingly enough, I logged in to post the above and checked the box. I posted and the post was recorded fine. About 10 seconds later I hit the log-out button and confirmed that I wanted to log out. I got this message: I also like how the message trails off...

Thanks for this explanation. Because when I read that little box that says "remember me" what I interpret that to mean is this: "Checking this box means that whenever you visit this site in the future on this machine you will not need your password." That is not something I want to check...

Absolutely. I usually can't even make one post without getting logged out. I log in, and get logged out. So I have to log in after making the post or risk losing it all. Then, when I get done posting and do actually want to log out I click to log out and it tells me I already am logged out...

Nice, well-thought out replies. I don't haveto much to say about them ... because overall I'm not at-all tryingto critique your system. Thereare many ways to think about game/character design. I just posted above to get you to expound a bit on your system. For the record, those of us who...

I took a brief look at the system. I'm not sure I fully understand every aspect of it, but I will say from my own experience that one of the major flaws presented in many D&D works is jumping to a quadratic model. I realize that in your system you do say that any formula could be adopted and...

I second this opinion. If Bo9S is in the mix, these classes offer so many maneuver options that they're hard to beat. On the off chance that the OP is looking for an interesting system to design a character, check out my sig (and forgive me for self-promotion). There you will find a product...

Well, to be fair ... even a system of "item influence/ability points" would still mean that items would be necessary to boost the characters to the expected norms for 3.x at any given level. However, what I could do is essentially make the power for those items come out of the character instead...

I hope you enjoy it when you do pick it up. And, come back and let me know what you think! I appreciate the link. I'll check it out and see what it offers. Absolutely. That is also true with CC. At some point I had to draw the line and say to myself "It replicates 3.x very well, but not...
