[QUOTE="Particle_Man, post: 3689655, member: 892"] [b]Paladins[/b] Make them cooler. Also, spell out, in terms that are unambiguous and explainable to a 4 year old, exactly what does and does not cause a paladin to lose paladinhood (spell out when this is "temporary but curable" and when this is "permanent"). Look to all the "Paladin" threads in gamer boards for ideas on particular situations that should be addressed. Also, what "associating with evil" means, for example, with Paladins of Wee Jas (whose followers often go a rather necromantic route). Detail more about where they special mounts are coming from, and what they are doing when they are *not* summoned. [b]Rangers[/b] Make them cooler. Spell out what it means to have a favored enemy - does this mean "I hate them!" or does it simply mean "I have a talent for dealing with these guys" or could it be either? Maybe tips on roleplaying animal companions. [b]Monks[/b] Make them cooler. I wanna hear more about monasteries and such, and Ancient Masters, and oaths, and great secrets. [b]Half-Orcs[/b] Make them cooler. Please get away from the whole "descendant of a rape" thing and give them some interesting backgrounds. [b]Illusions[/b] Give some (1000?) ideas on what to do with illusions. Help people out with ideas to pump their imaginations. [b]Evil minions[/b] In a universe with objectively provable horrible afterlifes for the bad guys (and great afterlifes for the good guys) explain why the smarter bad guys don't wise up and join Team Good ASAP, since there are magical means to detect this stuff. [b]Chaotic Neutral[/b] What does this mean? What do these beings want? What do pure chaos outsiders want? How are they different from the Far Realms? [b]Lawful Neutral[/b] What does this mean? What do they want? What do pure law outsiders want? How are they different from Contstructs. Speaking of which, bring back the Modrons, Goddamit! Also, whatever fluff you have, don't have it contradict the rules. Case in point, the Warlock's Baleful Utterance uses a word of Dark Speech in the fluff, but before, speaking a word of Dark Speech had specific rules implications. [/QUOTE]
