Just a passing note: You are seriously making WoD sound fun to play right here. Like not mechanically, but otherwise. For reasons including but not limited to the sex.

You don't have sizes and damage and stuff listed for them though. Are you going to be bothering to size arrows or just the bows they belong to?

Mauver, I've already made that feat. Like.... three or four years ago now. I think that I can make the class a class now. I only recently realized that 'soulknife' is just a way of saying 'fancy rogue'; and we all know what rogues are . There have been loads of soulknife feats laying around the boa...

You're going to have to excercise some real creativity to make a class out of a class concept that seriously goes "I kill stuff with a sword that may or may not be material". Seriously, I can't think of a reason to make this a class rather than just a feat or something.

You seem to be basing the class to some extent on japanese super heroes or something. I'm actually not sure, but in any case if you're basing your class on some sort of source material, look at what the source material actually DOES. You've already got the lasers in there, cool. I didn't really watc...

Re: [Class] Paladin

A lot of... words, for something that's not going to have much of an effect on actual gameplay. Not powerful enough to contribute to the character in any meaningful way. Otherwise I guess it's okay. Just, kind of meh. This one I was just having fun with. If you insist. I'd be inclined to have some ...

I honestly thing that Druid should be divided into two classes, a nature-themed spellcaster and a shapeshifting class. Either of which can now have an animal companion thanks to that one [Leadership] feat Frank made a while ago; Beastmaster or something. EDIT: Derp. Monster Rancher [Skill] [Leaders...

Weapon Proficiencies: The Paladin is proficient with all weapons and armor except the tower shield. Unless the tower shield is the favored weapons of her god. Then go tower shield. OK. Domains: The Paladin chooses a domain at 1st level and that will affect her abilities from then on out. Each domai...

Re: Rich Baker talks 4e.

We looked at this one long and hard, and here’s what we came up with. Preserving is the default. If you just cast a spell and don’t say anything, you’re assumed to preserve. However all arcane characters have a new Defiling at-will power, which you can use when you use daily powers, at the cost of ...

As much as I could cut the MM4 out of my collection and not miss anything important, the Skiurid fits the bill for a Pokemon-ish D&D monster pretty well. Basically, it's a dark Rattata. Something like cost 10, Mouse, Dimensional Rift, Gloom and Doom. Why the heck not.

Alright, but I thought the SGT was made with that consideration in mind.

D&D 3.x makes characters rely on magic items to such an extent that they might as well be CFs. For this reason I often treat magic items as a TM or something from a flavour perspective, as most people want to play characters who are individually competent rather than magic item whores, while con...

This is, so far as I can tell, because black and white morality is stupid. Not BAD, but stupid.
