[br][br]Good point, but there are two kinds of forums on the internet; being nicey-nicey and no-holds-barred. Due to human nature, being mean in a place where ev...

That's a pretty neat site.

Hummingbird?? Where is it from?

Dragon Magazine. And I'm pretty sure that it's +4 Init.

Do you really want your brave hero getting told to leave the dungeon and then turning tail like a little girl?

Isn't that cause fear?

One would hope that a 'brave' hero would not run, put perhaps a less resolute character would.

Better yet, cast wall of stone and tell them that they should step through it to auto-disbelieve.

As Mr. Orlove said, focused specialist (from Complete Arcane, I think) is the way to go.[br][br]There are two very important reasons for this. One, a first level mage probably has 2 spells per day. A focused specialist probably has 4. This keeps scaling. Two, a focused specialist actually get some f...

There is a third option: Dead Like Me D20.

But that wouldn't be a normal D&D setting.

How many different types of attacks can you keep balanced in one game?[br][br]For the sake of argument, use 4 attributes: Physique, Grace, Perception, and Willpower. One roll only targets one stat and only attacks with one stat, but it can be any vs any other. The basic form of an attack is two roll...

1200194325[/unixtime]]According to this , one-shotting (if that was important in real combat, I'm not saying it is) a human inside a flak jacket does require "special single target blaster attacks"*. Anyway, for the case of this example being shown to be shaky, I may think about something...

Fwib at [unixtime wrote:1200078562[/unixtime]]I didn't suggest making the whole game conform to 'reality' but an awful lot of people seem to want to do it just to the fighter-types.

Yeah, sorry about that. I was just in a strange mood, and tired of the 'realism kills warriors' line.

You may recall that when there was some lasting mark, it was that of a wolf's teeth.

Meh. Something seems to be lacking.

I've been looking at this and thinking about a totally different type of 'fey champion' class. Think of it as a 'dullblade'.[br][br]You get four basic ability progressions, supernatural abilities which are usually swift.

PC classed enemies are 'monsters' with CR equal to their level.

How about a race of mosquito-people, where the men are all ass-faced flower-eating scholars and the women are tragically bloodthirsty winged killing machines?
