That wasn't Murdock, that was Mr T's character, Barberos.[br][br]...I didn't just say that off the cuff.[br][br]While many PrCs are sucktastic at the end, I think we forgot the Soul Knife for class with no abilities and Shifter for having less shapeshifting than the core class(es) it was based off o...

I really don't mind some x/day balance... If a creature needs to sleep normally, and the ability comes from their needing to rest, sure. Magical creature with this I'm totally okay with. Sorcerors... Sure, why not?[br][br]But most abilities make no sense that way and there's no penalty to the fighte...

...You guys were supposed to make sense of that man's writing.

This is so totally not fair. I really have no idea what he's saying.

Frank has a great point...[br][br]...But alot of those races have no need for various technologies, and therefore don't support them. Other races trade the food production of their race for the technology production of another. And many of the flavours are 'protected' because they only breed one way...

Dude, your roomie /is/ a Homie, K. I figured you'd have seen these little guys around.

K, you've seen far more bull-rushes than two![br][br]That's the main mode for open melee combat that my character in Frank's current game uses: Jump into the guy's square, hope he falls down, and chew him to pieces.[br][br]I really should get spring attack to help with the not being chewed back, but...

I would say that objects attached to other objects would fail to Shrink per the spell because:[br][br][ol][*]The shrinking spell gives no wording on how the item would become unattached.[br][*]The item shrinking has no STR, and therefore is contrained by the object it is attached to. It cannot force...

1083176818[/unixtime]]Heck, why not gain a seperate pool of SP from each stat, and be able to spend SP from that stat's pool on skills with that stat as a key attribute? [br][br]Because you already get the stat bonus from that stat in that skill, which jacks over characters with lower stats? Doubli...

1083020506[/unixtime]]This has been gone over many times, but: [br]Mostly, though, it's broken because it's not a fun spell. Without the save, it's affecting a creature violating the normal rules for such. There's no repeat save, like with Hold, and the description of the spell leaves many question...

Spells are spells, with various effects.

...They aren't the base rules.

Either way, whoever thought that one up needs to be taken out and shot. And by that I mean not longer allowed to make game material involving any sort of math.

...I suppose it's too late to point out Frank is an atheist, and rather dislikes the idea of any sort of god-like things?

Ohwell.

1082657753[/unixtime]]Except that, in D&D, objects fall instantaenously, all the way to the ground.[br] [br]Ha! That means they exceed their 30' move! They can't voluntarily move more than four times their movement in a single round! It'd be a supernatural effect then![br][br]-Crissa[br][br] PS...

1082566301[/unixtime]]Righteous Might does not even provide enough strength to continue standing after you are grown.[br][br]Your carrying capacity goes up by a total of 6 times, and your carried weight goes up by 8 times. Assuming that you encumber yoourself close to your light load limit, casting...

Frank, stop using real-world numbers in a game.

Size differences give you plus X to bullrushes, and times Y to carrying capacity.

Why do we need to change this? Horses still carry people, Ogres still bullrush people... What needs changing? And why?

-Crissa

Hey, a Rogue-Monk works well when you character concept is someone who can put out the subdual damage on the spot.

Of course, I guess Jackie Chan isn't the standard D&D hero.

Well, actually... Squirrels account for one of the highest human/wild animal injuries in the US. They're daytime animals with hard-biting rodent teeth.[br][br]...But really, we don't want to bring in rolling for infections and whatnot. We still want a cat or a squirrel to do some serious damage to a...

Mmm... I like your idea, Frank.[br][br]It would take out the problems that we have with the Fighter being useless between battles and the Mage sovling all the problems 'because he has magic'.[br][br]...Everyone but Lago seems to be intentionally misreading your post, though. I think K has a point - ...

Frank, this isn't GURPS.[br][br]Strength as a stat is always relative to your size - so a 0 means you're paralyzed, and a high number means you're strong. Since carrying capacity doubles with size category and type of motion, it shows how the stat already varies relative to the world without varying...

[br][br]Absolutely not.[br][br]Permanent Effects can be dispelled just fine, that's what they are there for. Instantaneous effects are supposedly there because they don't make any sense to be dis...

I rather prefer Sma's suggestion, Frank - that way the basic abilities you want can be priced out, while not having to pre-balance forms which may or may not have the exact bits the caster wants.[br][br]Personally, I'd like a list of abilities, like a boost in size, strength, stability, and various ...

1081655824[/unixtime]]Sword and board is one of my favorite D&D expressions ever.[br][br]I just wanted to say that.[br] [br]I swear, hanging out with Frank et al. is bad on my vocabulary.[br][br]...Not by knowing less words, but in fact being exposed to a whole new set of things I can say which...

Frank has run the numbers, and (polymorph and buff spells aside) the Orc always wins the shlong contest.[br][br]I hate looking at raw numbers like that, to say, 'he's better than him' but, when looking if something is broke or not, you gotta do just that. Besides, if you're looking for flavour balan...

Frank: I think the guest means that a class-level 10 party take a lesser hit by adding a character with an LA than a class-level 3 party.

...This is probably assuming LAs are around one to three penalty levels.
