    Name this Feat

    I haven't seen this as a feat anywhere, although I haven't looked at all published material. I got the idea from one of the teamwork abilities in PHBII. I haven't come up with a name for it yet. I was hoping after everyone's critical evaluation and approval that someone could suggest a good...

    Weapon Types. What are they good for? Nothin!

    I have always felt that the three weapon types [Bludgeoning, Slashing, and Piercing] very rarley mattered. The only time it became a tactical decision as to what type of weapon you used was when you happened to be fighting a monster that had a DR that was vulnerable to a certain type. I realize...

    Initiative Spell

    I've been tryng to make a spell that allows you to go anytime during a combat round despite what you rolled for initiative. It would pretty much allow you to make a Readied Action without having to dictate any circumstance and allow you to perform a full round of actions while doing so. My...

    New Feats?

    Here are some Feats I have in my games. I'm not sure if I got them from somewhere else or not. There are so many publications of D20 material out there, as well as individuals who have posted their own material. I may have borrowed and re-posted these ideas here. Credit to those who deserve it...

I was tired of having to keep track of how many X level spells I could memorize and then not using most of them after the fact. I feel this new system gives much more freedom...

    Improved Charge?

    Is there a feat in print or in anyone's house rules the enhances a Charge attack option? If so, what does it do? If not, what should it do?

    Spell DC Variant

    Has anyone ever thought of changing Spell DCs to 10 plus your Ability score modifier plus 1/2 your caster level (rounded up)? You could throw out the Heightened Spell metamagic feat and it would make Spell DCs similar to most other attack forms that calculate DCs.

    Consolidated Metamagic

    I don't think I'm the only player frustrated with the Metamagic feats in 3.x. From what I have observed playing D&D, no one really ever picks them. So I decided to design a mechanic for them that made the metamagic system apealling but balanced. I have played with this system for a while and I...

    Throw out XPs!

    I have always disliked the XP system in D&D for two reasons. The first reason is that it seems to always emphasize rewarding the kill, resulting in bloodthirsty players. I realize that 3.5 has offered XP rewards for overcoming challenges, generalizing the term to include tasks other than...
