Complete Scoundrel Here

[Sir Brennen]

I'm thinking of allowing any character to use a trick that they qualify for without spending skill points, but requiring an action point to trigger it. This of course comes without having looked at the book yet, of course...

Unless you have action points "refresh" more often than once per level, this'll probably be very underused, as players save their points for the more important "standard" uses. As BryonD mentions, it sort of short-sells APs.

Conversely, if you increase the pool of action points available, things may become unbalanced in the other direction, as players still use more points for more "important" rolls/actions.

Differentiating between the type of points that can be spent on Tricks vs. normal Action! then leads to the path of added complexity, in which case you might as well stick with the rules as presented for Tricks

Razz,

I am looking for some feats for my warlock/cleric/eldritch diciple(focusing on persistant spells and eldritch glaive). Anything in there that would be any use(especially of the luck variety bec I have the luck domain)? What about PrC that would give +1 divine CL or invoking CL

From the look at the PrC I don't see anything that's adaptable for the Warlock. When I give it a more thorough read I'll be able to answer your question easier, but so far I see nothing that says "Definitely a must for Warlock".

Please, someone with the book:

The Gallant was wonderful, if a bit silly. I loved playing one! 3rd edition update would rock.

I hope this is one of the old school updates Wil Upchurch wrote for the Wizards' site. The gallant is certainly no sillier than the halfling whistler...

 

[Psion]

(Improved familiar list...)

Mephit (any)

Oh, that sounds like mischief on the hoof.

 

[Particle_Man]

Vargouille (loses kiss ability)

A familiar that is a flying head. That is hilarious!

Badger

Badger? Badger! We dont need no stinking badger!
...
Unless it's got really good stats.

The Psibond Agent 10 level. This psionic one is just.... weird. You make a bond with someone, and you can see through their eyes, get empathy, nudge them and eventually dominate them. But you have to concentrate all the time on them. Also you get sneak attack. I really do not understand this class.

If my suspicions are correct, this sounds hella cool. Want to know what Lord Such-And-Such is planning with Duke Whats-His-Name? Turn the butler into an unknowing spy. You see through his eyes, hear through his ears, and then exert control over him at the right moment so he steals the secret plans and drops them off the castle wall into your waiting hands.

Of course, I might be wrong, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed. It's the Manchurian prestige class.

That does sound cool.

C'mon, USPS!
