    Psionics: Worth adding in?

    I'm thinking of adding in the psionics rules to my fairly combat-heavy, social-interaction light 3.5 campaign. Are the psionic classes balanced and interesting? Are they outshined by wizards or clerics? In a three or four person party, is it good option to substitute a psionic class for one of...

    A simple, brilliant fix for the Monk

    Assuming, of course, that you find the monk underpowered overall, and that a similar solution to hasn't been proposed before, and that you actually think it's a good idea. :D Here it is: (NOTE! THIS POST IS OUTDATED--CHECK BELOW FOR MY UPDATED HOUSE RULE) --- Mastery of Self (Ex): The monk's...

    D&D 3E/3.5 Change to 3.5 Edition Monks

    Although the 3.5 edition monk has been improved in flexibility, I still think the class is weak in terms of power and overall usefulness to the party. The main reason seems to be high stat-dependency. So, I was thinking about a simple solution: in addition to the ability score increase a...

    Summon Nature's Ally vs. Summon Monster

    Whoa...it looks like D&D 3.5 made druids' Summon Nature's Ally spells a great deal more powerful than the standard Summon Monsters. Example: SNA II vs. SM III--both spells can summon a black bear, but the wizard one is a spell level higher. This same pattern seems to hold throughout most levels...

    Fatespinner Question

    In Tome and Blood, the Fatespinner's Spin Fate ability says you can "store a maximum spin value equal to his caster level" (p. 59). A level 5 wizard/level 1 fatespinner would have a caster level of 5, and thus have a max spin value of 5, since they don't get a spellcasting level from the first...

    Confirming Criticals

    When rolling to confirm a critical, it is my understanding that a natural 20 on the confirmation roll is not an automatic hit. My question is, is a natural 1 an automatic miss on the confirmation roll?

    Singh Rager Questions

    Hi, I have a few rules questions about the Singh Rager prestige class from Oriental Adventures: 1. Does the Lion's Pounce (Ex) ability allow the full attack option at the end of any charge (including partial charges) or just a regular charge? 2. How much time does it take to activate Swiftness...

    Singh Rager/Barbarian?

    When switching from a Barbarian to a Singh Rager, the alignment change to Lawful shuts off the original Rage ability. However, would it be possible to multiclass the other way? In other words, start with Fighter, go to Singh Rager, then turn chaotic and take a Barbarian level? I cannot find...

    Eco-Terrorists

    I'm looking for ideas on how to make an NPC band of "eco-terrorists"...a rabid band of nature-lovers who take pleasure in the destruction of civilization. I want them to be able to survive the death of any individual members and scale well with the PCs as they go up in levels. Here's what I'm...
