Would it be balanced to have core spellcasting classes grant spells of level 1 through 3, and prestige spellcasting classes grant spells of higher levels without advancing the lower level spells at all? If you go Wizard -> Doomlord, your spellcasting caps out at third level spells, but you get acce...

The difference is that in prior editions all those bullshit items just kind of hung around. And you could give them away or parcel them out to the garrison of your keep. In 3E you were mathematically forced to trade all those items in at the magic mart for an additional +2 to your gloves of dex or w...

No, the actual reason why no one in Harry Potter brings a fucking gun to any of these life or death battles is that JK Rowling didn't want them to. The idea that because JK Rowling did not bother to justify something means it cannot possibly be justified is inane. Likewise the argument that because...

Flaming Swords are your intro magic items. Their Iliaster cost is 1, 2 if someone is crafting it for you cause you have to pay the Crafter and they are in the Iliaster economy too. You are correct that 16th level characters will have badass magic weapons and not intro magic weapons but intro magic ...

Re: Your Money's No Good Here
Shattering or draining magical items will net you half the Iliaster it took to make them rounded up I've never quite understood why it's so important to make magic items only worth half their value if you're trying to turn them into other items. I can see some argument that finding magic items feel...

Three major contributions: 1) If there's any oversight of the design process at all it's probably coming in the form of play sessions in a misguided attempt to ape the M:tG dev cycle. But an RPG is going to seem fine if you simply have active players and an engaging MC, no matter how terribad the ru...

1) Monster feats should be iconic things; Breath fire, shadowstep, dimdoor, etc. And not, +1 to overrun. 2) Give a CR kicker value for feats. So you know what adding shadowstep to a bullet does to it's cr. I agree with K, this is such a fundamental departure from what feats are supposed to do in 3....

I was really just talking about combining attacks so that PC's can't swim naked through the orcs and ignore them completely. If the orcs have a +5 attack bonus and do 1d12+7 damage, then a guy with AC 26 and DR 20 is pretty much immune to them, especially if less than 50 of the orcs can actually mak...

And now you're off the rails. Rolling dice and comparing them to numbers is literally the difference between MTP and a functioning conflict resolution mechanic. Climb, Balance, and Jump can be reduced to abilities because they're just movement modes and it's actually super weird to have a climb spee...

It doesn't even matter if those abilities then require checks. You just took your entire argument, wiped your ass with it, and threw it over the fence of a school yard. There is literally no difference at all between giving someone an ability that requires a check to activate and giving someone an ...
