I am interested in an online dice roller that gives you visual dice on the screen (not simply numbers). Further more, one of the dice must be a different colour than the others. Thus if I roll 3d6, two of the dice could be green, and one of them red. If I roll 4d6, three of the dice could be...

Wizards at high levels are powerful enough for me. If you want them to break the rules you can make the appropriate house rule.

There is no hard rule that you don’t have to either. If you like, transfer the quirk to the lack of a clear hard rule then. And it still, in light of that lack, would have been cleaner for vulnerability to count first.

A minor quirk: someone that has both vulnerability and resistance to the same damage doesn’t have it cancel out completely because resistance comes first and the round down rule means that for odd hp damage you would still take one fewer hp of the damage. Would have been cleaner to have...

Have not read the whole thread but isn’t extra concentration the sorcerer’s thing via twin spell? Seems like giving it to other casters treads on the sorcerer’s toes.

First I find someone I trust and leave the book my predecessor wrote explaining my status for them to read, then stick with that person and the other pcs. Either that or I join the party with the one good half-orc, the one good drow, the one good tiefling and the one good chromatic Dragonborn.

This race is not official as a pc yet but you can get npc stats for the skeleton from the dmg so technically this is core. Perhaps due to memories of the Lost Worlds fighting game book “Skeleton with Scimitar and Shield” I have an urge to try one out. They have some downsides (low int is not so...

I forgot about the feat by class level! My mistake.

I think you both can agree at least that the wizard spells in question are useful to have to keep a character's hp resource from going to zero, especially if, for example, the party has no clerics, bards, druids, rangers, or paladins (either through misadventure or though party composition)...

One allows one to take short rests safely, one allows one to take long rests safely, and one gives a huge buffer of hp in combat. Thus two spells allow for safe "natural" healing and one allows for free "temporary hp", which is not healing but is a close cousin to it, especially in combat.

Well if you start with half-elf you get an extra skill over variant human (Nature?). You can take the skilled feat at level 4 so you lose nothing there, skill-wise. So Rogue 1 Ranger 1 (get Survival?) Then Cleric 1 and Bard 3 as you list above. So you lose expertise in Nature and Survival...

Which, given the reasoning that "death spiral" is more realistic for gritty games, is kind of ironic. I am mulling over the "Death save for everything" for realistic games. Maybe ones with simpler chargen?

A lot of races for NPCs are mentioned in the DMG but not all of them have been given PC stats yet. I would love it if the Skeleton were fleshed out.

Well, for 3.5 there is this guy's death attack: http://www.d20srd.org/srd/prestigeClasses/assassin.htm If the assassin sets it up right, and hits, then it is a fort save or die. Pathfinder gives that ability out to other classes, including the 20th level rogue, and 10th level ninja and slayer...

Would hex blade be an option for you? I have heard good things about it.

Four if you include those instances where one gets more powerful and capable when closer to death or risk of death. Some 4e bloodied effects are like this, as is the game Don’t Rest Tour Head. Sort of an extinction burst. Maybe tink tank boom?

I would guess that enchantments would be used more in combat and divinations between combats, with some exceptions both ways.

It would be a niche build then. Mind you, so was the original mystic theurge.

A variant of 3.5 where level advancement stops at 6 and after that one buys feats with experience points.

TTB wins for me. That said, a cap on hp a la E6 can mitigate the walking off a cliff issue.
