My intent was that it shouldn't be used like sneak attack - i.e., standing right next to the guy and getting HS, but Combat Archery pretty well obviates that."A ranger can move through any sort of undergrowth or difficult terrain... Thorns, briars, and overgrown areas that have been magically manipulated to impede motion still affect him, however."Good deal.Like Legolas in the battle at the keep. That's one of the main things I remember from the movies - him shooting two uruk-hai at once, poking one in the eye and then using the same arrow to shoot another, and him skating down the stairs on a shield while shooting arrows (we figured it was about a DC 30 Balance check).The monk truly embodies mobility and agility, as does the rogue, and they don't get it.Same here, but I'm willing to suspend disbelief a bit - after all, this is a game that uses magic and contains creatures that exist nowhere but in our imaginations. I don't like the idea of my character being able to leap tall buildings in a single bound, but as I haven't yet found a way to deal with it without going the E6 route, I'll have to live with it.Free stuff? Huh?I tend to agree with you, but again, I'm designing a system for the masses, not just for myself. And there are gods with 20 levels in a single (or even two) class - quite a few of them, in fact.Okay.Watch your language. We have a Grandma Rule here. Anyway, that's mainly due to my lack of ability - I'm not a very good high-level designer. I would love to be able to design stuff for the legendary classes, and I think the new revisions to the base classes will help in that regard. I mainly put them up for other designers - it's a base they can use to create their own legendary classes (hence why everything on the site is OGC).That's because he keeps the normal progression (2/3) from +16 to +20, then slows to 1/2 the rest of the way.Which means that slow fall at any level is useless.It was changed to conform with the <a href="http://project-phoenix.wikidot.com/monsters:special-abilities#DR" target="_blank">new DR system</a>. You know, to make sure they remain effective in combat?*shrug* It's part of the altered BAB progression. I can't just say "No, you don't get any more attacks because you suck."If you call large-scale spells like raising mountains ZOMGWTF stuff, then yes. There's nothing wrong with that.Yeah.As do I - that's why you'll note that I switch over to the 1/2 BAB progression at BAB +20. You might also note that everyone has the same BAB at L40.I think we've been through this discussion before.Ok, “where are you getting at”, you might be asking yourself by now.Well, it goes like this. Take OD&D’s Immortal rulebook (“Codex of the Immortals”) for instance. The rules in there really did bring something totally new to the gaming table – on that part the book was a brilliant success. I also think that a lot of stuff in there can be used as a good basis for inspiring solid epic (stuff of legend), exalted (demigodhood) & divinity (godhood) rules.I think we'll have to agree to disagree on this point. If you want to create your own version of my ranger, feel free - it's all OGC.</blockquote>
