[QUOTE="BlackJaw, post: 468346, member: 888"] [b]Well, I never liked the fact that only one person's skill level mattered when using Innuendo.[/b] Me either, esspecialy with some of the uses for tumble. (DC 15 to avoid attacks of oppertunity regardless of what your walking past of how many levels it has?!) I imagine the writers gave themselves some sort of guidline about skill use. unless you aid an action, or are making an opposed skill check, skills are not effected by other people/characters. [b]Every other type of weapon has its own feat (except simple weapons), and a scimitar is more like a longsword than a cannon is like a catapult.[/b] A but many classes start with Prof. in some or all the basic weapons. If we require players to take feats for all the weapons they might have, get, or use, then a fighter would need to spend a lot of feats on heavey weapons over his carreer in skies/space. What if we break them down into groups covered by diffrent feats, including some exotic weapons that require a spicfic feat? Direct, Indirect, Guided, Exotic? [b]What would you suggest as an alternative to "magic"? Mystic power? FX?[/b] Psionic fans won't like it if you call psionics a form of magic (even if that's more or less what it is by the rules). [b]I'd considered this point, but I'm not sure what to call them. Glassteel could be renamed Steelglass (which is more accurate anyway), but what do you think would be a good name for Glassee? Transparency would work, but it's not very evocative.[/b] [i]Steelglass[/i] works fine. [i]Glassight[/i] works better then transparency. As far as [b]Gill[/b] is concerned, I'd say a 5 level increase (and loss of all other functions) over Alterself is fine. Just remove the XP cost. You might want to note if you intend the spell to allow speach/etc to take place in water (which gills wouldn't really) for spellcasting and other uses. [/QUOTE]
