    The Railgun (no, not the peasant kind)

    This is a build I've been working on the past few days just for giggles. It turned out to be both interesting and surprisingly effective, so I figured I may as well share it. I must admit, I shamelessly based this build on a character from an anime. Namely, this one: This is Misaka Mikoto...

    Feat for a binder posing as a wizard

    We just hit level 12 in the campaign I'm currently playing in, and I'm having trouble deciding on a good feat for my character. I'm playing a binder, but one who pretends to be a wizard and is extremely paranoid about being found out for what he really is. He didn't exactly get a very warm...

    D&D 3E/3.5 Critique/tweak a custom monster [3.5]

    Many months ago I posted some stuff here about a campaign focused on exploring a forest distorted by fey magic. The BBEG is an entity known as the Elvenking, an ancient fey lord of near-godlike power that is in the process of awakening after aeons of dormancy and wants to rewrite the world in...

    Angels with protective auras can't use SLAs?

    I've recently stumbled across what appears to be a rather amusing oversight in the rules for celestials with the protective aura ability. This ability states that (among other things) it functions as a Lesser Globe of Invulnerability, which of course means that it blocks any spells of 3rd level...

    Shadow Veil [MIC]: Utterly useless?

    Perhaps this is just an issue with 3.5 being a little too vague on issues of illumination, but it strikes me that the Shadow Veil item from MIC is in fact far worse than it appears at first glance. The item states that you gain concealment against any creature that relies on light as long as...

    D&D 3E/3.5 Secret Arts Monk [3.5 homebrew]

    This is a homebrew variant of the 3.5 monk I've been working at in my spare time over the past year or so, but only just recently got refined to the point where I figure it's ready to put up for public evaluation. I know I'm hardly the first to try to fix the monk, but I came up with a way of...

    Wild Magic Tables

    I've made a set of wild magic tables for use in the campaign I'm planning, which I figured I'd post here (or rather, post a link to here; the tables themselves are rather lengthy) for the amusement and use of others on the forum. (It might also be handy for reference when I post asking for...

    Critique/evaluate a custom boss monster?

    I had an idea for a boss monster I really want to use for the fey forest campaign I'm planning, but it turned out to be rather tricky to make in practice due to the fact that there's really nothing like it in any of the books I've seen, and it's a somewhat complicated concept. The short...

    Keeping the "magic" in magic items

    One thing that's always bugged me about 3.x is that there are loads of fun and interesting magical items in the various books, but the way the game is designed a large chunk of your wealth-by-level is all but required to be sunk into boring numerical boosts in order to keep up with the expected...

    TN version of monk ki strike

    I've been thinking lately about monks, and specifically the alignment restrictions. While the lawful-only restriction makes sense if you think of monks as studying rigorously in a temple or dojo, I feel like that only captures one kind of monk, and you could easily have monks that follow...

    Need some help with planning a campaign

    I haven't really run games all that much before (a single one-shot for my family when I was home for Christmas, but that's it), but I recently got an idea for a campaign I'd really like to run. Unfortunately, there are a couple aspects of the concept that present some issues that I'll need to...
