Personally, I love sylvan and fey creatures. I haven't personally had any run-ins with people that didn't like them. One factor that might prevent them from appearing in more games is the fact that they're not necessarily opponents to the players as much as they are allies. More strange...

I grew up in Montreal and in fact, I was there again this past weekend for a concert (Matt Good at the Metropolis :D), so I'll toss in my two cents. Not speaking french isn't a big deal, you still shouldn't have any big trouble dealing with people and getting around. This isn't Quebec City...

Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy (Omnibus edition) by Douglas Adams.

I've got a bunch. This one just goes to show that you NEED to pay attention. :) Player 1: "I'm going to put my hands on his shoulders." Player 2: "How can you? I'm 20 feet tall." Player 1: "You're a 20ft tall human?" Player 2: "No, I'm in dragon form." Player 1: "We're on a boat." Player 2...

Re: Re: [SS] Tiefling "Monster Class" You can already do this without negative levels or anything. Just apply the LA as normal but start the character with 0xp. They need 3000xp for level 2. This works nice, and I've already considered it. My only concern would be with balance between the...

Actually, that probably would work quite well. My only concern would be that the character might be a little underpowered. Not entirely sure. I'd have to try it out and do some comparisons. I think it's just one of those things where YMMV though.

I'd hoped I'd missed it too, but alas I hadn't. :( I guess if you really wanted, you could use the old ECL calculator here. Not sure how accurate it'd be, but if you really don't want to go the wishy-washy route that SS uses, this would be a good substitute. EDIT: I just compared some values...

I see what you're saying, yeah. And in my example above I should've said 4hp instead of 8hp. And the fighter still get's screwed. ;)

While the simplicity is tempting, I'd have to disagree here. Reason being, if they kept the 1HD of the Tiefling and took a class level by level 2, then they'd be superior to a normal PC tiefling. They'd have the benefits of 1 HD, then 1 class level, and their additional tiefling abilities. If a...

I'd say it's completely on-topic. :) SS says to use rule of thumb and compare a 1st-level character of this race (using their favored or optimal class) vs an equal level character with the same class. So in this case, you'd compare an LA +4 Tiefling with 1 level of Rogue with a 5th level...

Well, I wanted the Int bonus to be on the first level to avoid any loss of skill points after the first level. And I had to put the Cha penalty in the first level to balance it out. I couldn't put the Dex bonus in the first level because that makes the scores unbalanced (+1 LA). Darkness MUST...

And most certainly, this has got to be one of my favorite parts about RPGs in general. :D

Hehe, definitely a good suggestion. If a little complex. :) I'll take a look at it and see what it comes out like. See if I can come up with some guidelines on doing it. Your Drow thread is partially what inspired me, I just turned a few things around and saw what I could come up with. I also...

I know it hasn't been very long, but nobody has an opinion on my post? Oh, and BUMP! :D

Why not do this? Choose Drow as your race. Choose a class. Use these racial abilities instead of the drow ones: - +2 Int, -2 Con - Medium-size - Base speed 30ft - Darkvision 120ft - Light Blindness (Ex) - +2 bonus to Will saves vs Magic - Favored Class Cleric (female) or Wizard...

Hey all, Despite the Tiefling being an LA +1 (ECL 2) creature. I thought up a way so players could play them at first level. Simple as this... Race: Pick Tiefling, as normal. Class: Pick an actual class (fighter, cleric, etc). Instead of applying all the racial traits of the Tiefling, just...

Lawful Good. Which was a bit of a shocker cause I've done a billion and one tests like this and I always come up Lawful Neutral, Neutral, or Neutral Good. Craziness!

Iconic Evil DM or just Iconic Web Designer, that works too.

ZOMBIES!!! This game is awesome! I love it so much. If you like zombies and/or boardgames, there's a good chance you'll like this. Especially when everybody's turning on each other to try and survive. :D

Doh, that'll teach me. Thanks. I guess I need to relearn how to read. :)
