Basically, your defense of open multiclassing sounds like the libertarians who claim that true capitalism would be totally awesome but it's never been tried. It fucking has been tried. Repeatedly. And it has been awful. -Username17 Oh really? Well, if you're going to resort to sophistries like this...

Bottom line: there are a lot of ways to make playable monsters work. So claiming that we need to keep open multiclassing so that playable monsters can work is short sighted. After all: open multiclassing has not delivered us playable monsters that work! Seriously: Savage Species was a terrible book...

From what monster material they did post, it looks like the Monster Manual was going to be new tracks and prefab character builds rather than traditional monster writeups. Legend monsters are supposed to be built entirely out of PC-playable class tracks (unless they're minions). They've already publ...

Splugorth Warrior Women is probably a reference to RIFTS, which I've never played. Apparently, Splugorths are beholder-esque tentacled intergalactic slavers, or something. They're from RIFTS Atlantis, a sourcebook infamous for weird and overpowered character splats. http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6W56UB...

I was referring to social interaction in general, not just seduction. Sorry for the misunderstanding. Yeah, I know, but I think the same reasoning applies to other kinds of social abilities. An actual diplomat probably wants to play the Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil endgame by uniting vari...

The less traction ability is more due to suspension of disbelief in regards to non-magic. I say, why not allow non-magical seduction and social interaction to work on these NPCs? Your hero's so charming that he moves the cold, stone heart of the Earth Prince of Elemental Evil. When an illithid from...

Re: GTFO abilities
3e at least IMHO hands out GTFO abilities at excesivelly low levels with Fly (ranged weapon/flight or GTFO) and Solid Fog (Telaport of GTFO) at increadibly low levels The biggest problem with flight is that 3e encourages mundanes specialize in melee at the expense of ranged. Mundanes aren't inheren...

Stances and Boosts inherently last one round. I can make that clearer if you like. Cool, that's what I assumed, I just couldn't find it stated anywhere. If you want to give up the attack in order to punch the ground to get the secondary effect off 95% of the time, that's fine. Might want to state t...

Whee unsolicited editing advice time! Entrapment of Blades Level: 1 Type: Counter Can be used when a threatened opponent moves (including to take a 5' step). The Crusader may make a melee attack against that target. Might make the melee attack count as an AoO so it can be used with Stand Still and t...

Anything else? Assuming you just want stuff that's about their card-drawing mechanic, I'd add that the rules aren't clear at all on when crusaders can draw a new hand. CustServ had to weigh in on what happens if you have to draw from an empty deck (apparently you discard your whole hand, shuffle it...

It's Ghostwheel's version of the Tomes, but with the goal of having characters like Rogues who don't use UMD as the type of WotC stuff you keep, rather than the Wizard/Cleric/Druid bunch. He likes killing things with lots of damage, and giving things so much HP that they can take several rounds of ...

Perfect skill duplication. Especially with the existence of scrolls, wands and shit, this is just ridiculous and insulting, and that they are all pretty low level effects makes it worse. If you're going to try to role-protect skills, the first step is to make sure the skills are actually good. You ...

Re: Game Balance, D&D, and the Future
So I propose that if any tabletop RPG game company actually did their homework and put a significant level of effort to make their game balanced, they'd blow the competition away. Thoughts? Can't they just lie and say the game is balanced? That's less work, and RPG fanboys won't know the difference.

Do druid shit to get these to grow quickly into full grown oaks - I'm sure there's a spell somewhere for that. Plant Growth can *almost* do it. You'd want to plant a bunch of acorns in a barren plot of dirt, wait for them to sprout, and hit the sprouts with Plant Growth. Since the spell has to take...

Most internet forums give people a distorted view of what gamers actually want. The people who are most vocal about their views on RPGs tend to be DMs, which is why so many RPG discussions are dominated by people who want as much dissociation and MTP as possible without cluing the players in.
