The Gaming Den

Yup, you're right, I misremembered it specifically referencing selective incorporeality instead of vaguely calling it ghostly and transparent.

There will be no more grinding anything, leveling is quest based or arbitrary, and if we don't fight animals, where will we have armies of armored bears, or wolf riding goblins. Actually, don't answer that, I think a number of solutions are fairly obvious.

We have a corner deli with walking distance, a mile, everything else would take too long to walk to to even be remotely worth it. We do have a pretty nice restaurant in town, about a 7 minute drive, and a number of less fancy but still good restaurants within the same distance.

Blade of Pain and fear, 2nd level spell in Libris Mortis. Gives you a melee weapon that does 1d6+1 per 2 cls, uses touch attacks, and causes a save versus fear when damaging an opponent for 1 minute per level. Get a pair of use activated wondrous items shaped like weapon hilts that activate when you...

Shouldn't what is and is not a viable character concept be partially divorced from the system, being mostly decided by the particular campaign setting?

Believe me, it's nothing so simple as a string of particular numbers. We should put this topic on hold until Monday rolls around and I get a chance to start explaining.

I've worked retail, it's decent enough, wouldn't want to make a career out of it though.

Fortunately for me certified Medical Biller/Coders are in short enough supply that I'll be able to shop around for a good office or billing company to work at come this spring.

1197753890[/unixtime]]I warn you ahead of time that most of the statistical determinations of the chances of various events being non-magical in origin rely on the before/after fallacy of dealing with probabilities.[br][br]That is, before you roll a d20, your chance of rolling any particular number...

Yes thank you.

It points to something significantly beyond human capability, it could be chalked up to extremely massive coincidence, though the chances are wildly astronomical, extraterrestrials, or something else far beyond human capabilities and knowledge thousands of years ago. Whatever it is, it's far beyond ...

1197680981[/unixtime]]However, I disagree with your implementation. I like that you are aiming to hit smack in the middle of TWF, THF, and S&B. I offer honest criticism:[br] [br]Oh good.[br][br][br] 1197680981[/unixtime]]You never take more than a -3 penalty to your attacks due to being seconda...

Overpowered based on what? Is it the 10* damage thing that worries you? It actually looks a little weak to me when you consider that a hasted TWFer will be getting 10 attacks at that level, and that means ten chances to daze, petrify, plane shift, or just plain kill your opponent thanks to stuff lik...

1197635017[/unixtime]][br][br]Thats an odd thing to have statistical evidence of. [br]I may have worded that incorrectly. The evidence is important because of its statistical significance, not that it is necessarily statistical evidence. Also the evidence actually strongly points to supernatural or...

Two weapon fighting eventually gives you a shield bonus to AC when wielding two weapons; that is what that is. Besides, the name of the feat is just flavor, flavor is easy to change and usually doesn't effect game balance. If I didn't have the caveat about only being able to wield one weapon then yo...

1197550107[/unixtime]]Perception swap! [br][br]And Orthodox Christian reading this thread would say that you are the one reading from a non-divinely inspired bible.

Heh, it's like we can't even talk about something around here without forming some revolutionary new way to make it better. I really like the idea though.

I think it works, defenses and untrained skills get bonuses from stats, offense is solely dependent on the action taken, and trained skills work purely from ranks. Actually, if the stat bonuses aren't too huge, I don't see a problem with stats adding to trained skills.

As a free action, I should mention that.

Well I didn't want to start a whole new thread for one feat, so I decided to post this here.[br][br] Duelist [Combat] [br]You wade into heavy melee with nothing but a rapier and some shiny pants, it's seems to work pretty well for you.[br] Benefits: Whenever you use the combat expertise option you g...

Nice scarf.

6 natural armor, darkvision, a swim speed and +2 to Str, Con, Int and Cha, aren't as good as a a feat and an extra skill point? In the kind of campaign the Capn' is running, one where the PCs'll be near or in the water most of the time the Triton needs a few hit dice before it can gain class levels ...

They speak an entirely different language, so they would have to have a different translation. I am not well informed on what constitutes the eastern orthodox bible, but from little research I just did it seems that that merely have additional books and are not missing anything that the king James v...
