The Gaming Den

Yeah but complaints like that are why posting anything revolutionary at WotC is pretty pointless.

Some people want to play a godded cleric, fine with me. That isn't a reason for them to get an overpowered class to do it with. The role of healer and the role of god-boy should be seperate though. But then you get "wizards shouldn't heal" arguements. Or even better "you want to chang...

Whoever wrote that is dumb.

4sp/lvl and a big expansion to the fighter skill list? Sounds good to me.

Current Cleric --> Godless Cleric --> Wizard with Healing Spells

Heh, just suggesting that wizards should be able to cast really crappy healing spells starts a small riot.

Ability damage is a spell away from being healed. Death costs more. Its escapist fantasy, if I wanted to die of snake bite I'd go bushwalking.

It should be changed, a lot. But the basic idea that the PCs don't worry about cobras etc should stay. An assasin's poisoned blade is part of a fun encounter, sitting on a bench and dieing because a redback bit you is not.

If a class has low BAB giving it a class feature to make more attack rolls is stupid. Just give it a decent BAB in the first place and cut down on die rolls.

1083770861[/unixtime]]My experience as a Sorc was this: I took Fireball, and then went five adventures before I got to use it. for 6th to 10th level I have used it three times, and one of those times it was for show. Its useless in the "box" type encounter, and in the middle of a confused...

Half the point of the poison rules is that garden variety spiders don't scare decent level PCs at all. I wouldn't change that.

Knife to the Soul and bladewind (aka whirlwind attack) could be seperate feats.

Damage cap should be character level based too.

1083703528[/unixtime]]If a skill is not directly part of a character's schtick, chances are, the character can probably get away with skimping on the points, or taking ranks cross-class. [br][br]This is true. Unfortunately those ranks you do have still have to come from somewhere. Knowledge or simi...

The soulknife could be turned into a feat chain.

The skill system does suck though. You're either awesome or you suck. There should be more than two levels of ability possible in a decently build character.

There is a cold version of alchemists fire in the MM2 under the Desmodu entry.

Rogues are better than fighters because the rogue is a well designed class but the fighter is massively underpowered. This is old news.

In actual direct damage a decent fighter should be able to keep up with a rogue, the problem is that he sucks at everything else.

1083603064[/unixtime]][br]I know there is a lot of hub-bub over the +0 ECL Elan (Aberration) as being overpowered and hue-&-cry over the Blue's +1 ECL as costing too much due to its +2 INT status. [br][br]The Elan isn't great from what I can see. Psychic reformation lets you swap your feats out...

The mind blade needs to do 2d6 damage with x3 or 19-20/x2 crit. Thats first level. Its a mind blade, what it looks like really dosen't have much to do with how deadly it is.

Plus he needs a real BAB.

That only fixes levels 1-3.

I don't know if it was intentional or not, but that's funny.

Now I know why Josh had the dots in there.

1081216982[/unixtime]]If you give AP numbers and DR to everyone, and have the AP reduce the DR - you are just having all weapons inflict extra damage to compensate for the DR you are giving people. [br][br]Thats correct. The main advantage of all or nothing AP is that it avoids this to an extent. T...

I wouldn't let size effect DR or AP, the damage difference is enough IMO. I don't think differentiating between attack types would be good, too much complexity.[br][br]Note that there is no reason why medium armour has to reduce speed to 20, 25 is probably a better option. Leaving 20 for heavy armo...

Exactly, thats why I'm thinking about this first rather than just coming up with some numbers like the UA crew did.[br][br]As it stands I'm probably stuck with AP reducing DR rather than the all or nothing version. I also think enhancement bonuses probably shouldn't increase AP after all so it scale...

Okay then. If you do that to the musket in the 3.0 DMG it would be reasonable as an exotic weapon. The pistol has a pretty small range increment so it needs some form of benefit to truely qualify as exotic. Since you get proficiency for free when you learn the musket it may not be so bad.[br][br]Str...
