    Would you play in a spontaneous-only spellcaster game? FT: Should complexity vary...

    Absolutely. I've played in an all-psionics/non-CPsi/Dreamscarred-Press-welcome game and although it involved psionics instead of spellcasting it is essentially the same dilemma. The psionic characters involved were essentialy all spontaneous in their build (except the used powerpoints rather...

    Classless/Point Buy d20?

    Well put, and I'm glad you posted this. Because I wanted to say the same thing and each time I tried it sounded snarky so I figured it was better to just not post. Because this is exactly what I wanted to say! It should be said ... breaking systems is also just as much a function of the...

    True Sorcery...how is it?

    No need to apologize! I appreciate the input, and it told me what I wanted of your opinion between the systems. Thanks! The part where you say EoM has a steeper learning curve but EoM is a bit easier once they learn it may sound contradictory, but I totally understand. EoM is easy ... once...

    True Sorcery...how is it?

    I've been recommended to pick up True Sorcery as well and have an additional question. For reference, I just picked up Elements of Magic revised (as well as the Lyceium supplement) during the server sale. I found EoM to have a steep learning curve but once you get a hang of the system it is...

    The Red Dragon's Interview is up!

    Loved it. Seriously. I'm a 4e hater and I thought it was funny. It does what every god comic should do. Portray a subtle amount of truth in a way that makes people laugh. What truth I found in it: 1. Master loves the shiney. True. Check. 2. There are people who hate 4e and drone on...

    Alt multiclassing proposal

    Thanks. I appreciate it! Okay, well, I definately agree with you that the difference is significantly more pronounced in spellcasting classes. That is absolutely true and I wouldn't argue that. As for the others, perhaps rogue and fighter are bad choices because few of their abilities (if...

    If your group didn't like 4e...

    We're sticking with 3.5 ... although we play it classless. All the 3.5 mechanics and options with none of the character building restrictions of multiclassing, caster level depreciation from multiclassing, fractional BAB, weird save progression starts, etc. You can see the classless/pointbuy...

    Alt multiclassing proposal

    Regarding the OP, I personally think that caster level = class level is too powerful. Especially for multiclassed characters who are also gaining class abilities, bonus feats, or whatever. I simply think that it is too powerful. However, I also don't like the fractional values proposed in the...

    Classless/Point Buy d20?

    Aus Snow, Great Question! If I can do so without seming too cheesy, can I direct you to this thread: DSP/Mentalis Design Conversation about Complete Control Specifically, that link should bring you to the top of page three of that discussion. The first post of that page has my breakdown of...

    Classless/Point Buy d20?

    First off, let me say that I have tried to reply to this thread (and others) multiple times in the last week. Each time I can log in, but when I post it tells me that I'm not logged in and have no access to post. What with all the server trouble, I figured to back off until they got a few...

    Liking the temp homepage?

    Love the look of the new front page - blackscreen! Also, I find the adds much less annoying as they cycle. On the white page, there were days I just didn't want to come to see the D&D 4e ad cycle over and over as the page loaded. Now, I don't seem to mind it. I know - completely...

    What do you want to see for your Fantasy Roleplaying System of choice?

    Unfortunately, no. But it is in for layout and geenral proofreading. :) Hopeful soon. Thanks for your interest!

    What do you want to see for your Fantasy Roleplaying System of choice?

    After more than a few years of gaming ... I've finally come across my favorite system. Although it isn't a system - yet. I've got a new product coming out through Dreamscarred Press that totally removes class from the game and essentially is an XP buy system that allows variable HD, BAB, class...

    Liking the temp homepage?

    I, too, like the temp page. I only have one regret: It's a whitescreen. I wuch prefer the black screen wih white letters. I find it easier to read ... plus, it uses less energy for the computer to display. Not like it displays it for very long ... but with 70,000 readers .... Anyway, I...

    Classless/Point Buy d20?

    Excellent! I've used the system for a while now and I like how it builds characters. Obviously - as I've been sure to mention above - it will play with the relative "power level" because characters are designed exactly how a player wants them. But so long as everyone understands that, I like...

    Classless/Point Buy d20?

    Hey! I had a few extra minutes beforeleaving until Saturday, and I saw the post directing me to come here. I am the author of the ExP20 (tentative name) system in layout for Dreamscarred Press. However, I am not an official Rep ofthe company - that would be A_a or Bacris. But - I would love...

    D&D 3.x Companies still supporting 3.5?

    If you are into Psionics, Dreamscarred Press is supporting 3.x. Doing a Google search for them will reveal their homepage and forums if you want to know more. Their pdfs are VERY reasonably priced and I find most of their work to be above WotC quality. A few things lately have pushed the...

    Thanks guys! I thought so, but it seems like a good combo so I wondered if Iwas missing something.

    Front Page Really slow to load

    Wow. At this moment in time, ENWorld is backto very fast. I realize that this is a variable thing until the MySQL problem is determined. But Iwanted to just let you all know that I appreciate your efforts. I'm sorry I can't do morethan stand behind you all and say "I do believe you'll get to...

    Monk / PsyWar question

    One of my players is thinking about a character who receives the monk's AC bonus as well as being able to use the Inertial Armor power from the Psychic Warrior progression. The player wanted to know if they stacked. My initial impression is that they should, since the Monk's AC bonus is...
