How long would a session go?

That actually brings up a question about stone shape 's use in this scenario. So you use a breath weapon and you touch stone with it, and then the stone moves to ensnare whoever you're trying to hit with your breath weapon. But does the amount of stone you can shape keyed off of the Breath Weapon fe...

Yay necro!

JSYK, the obvious solution is to troll them until you decide they're not fun to troll anymore. Play a Stupid Chaotic character... or something.

that looks good to me; now I think we should do stuff w/Kaelik and rewrite dispel and it's big brother.

Kaelik, what were you suggesting?

That's assuming that all races are created equal.... which they aren't. It's pretty generous to call Half-orc's and half-elfs starting package as even half a feat, and some alternate CR +0 races are made of pure awesome (deep halflings spring to mind). 'kay... ...the race system needs a rehash so t...

Also, the things we handed out are better than starting player race stuff, so even if you traded out your race stuff you end up more powerful. It's about as powerful as a feat and opens up the powerful Fiend feats, while starting race crap is about half a feat. Humans explicitly get exactly a feat ...

Product of Infernal Dalliance has always bothered me... Honestly, the tiefling is supposed to be the one with the "Satan came and raped your great great grandma", and it comes with stat boosts and darkness 1/day. And that's for, like, a human. I always thoght that elven tielfings and human...

I think I'm gonna jack that "perception, intelligence, willpower" idea and apply it to Init, skills, and will saves. Then I'll just rearrange some casting stats. Sorcerers and Clerics cast off of willpower, Druids and Spirit Shamans off of perception, and Bards and Wizards off of Intellige...

I understand you're concept, now. It makes sense. Theoretically, a Wiz or Sorc could dispel up to 3 spells (2 AoOs, 1 immediate action) w/o combat reflexes, right?

And I'm watching...

God... Kaelik has to be my favorite person on this site... In other news, I'm a little worried about the system... I mean, outsiders get full BAB and they're the ones who run around with at-will dispels . Fighting outsiders is a lot harder under these rules... or at least a lot for counterspell-inte...

ooooh... Dump Con, too?

So what's the general consensus, then?

Str: Physical to-hit, damage (phys and range), HP, Fort
Dex: Ranged to-hit, Init, Rfx, AC
Wis/Wil/bleh: Will Saves
Int: Skill points

is that about right?

Well, K, it's like you said. Everything's simple, because simple is easy to understand and doesn't require huge numbers of 500-page books filled to the brim with cultural this-and-thats. Hell, the only reason games in D&D never advance in technology or change languages dynamically is because no ...

This is a completely alternate system for a d20 (D&D-ish hopefully) combat system. I like the idea of D&D having BAB and augmenting attacks and all... but how about the casting version of such? Base Casting Bonus--BCB. You can have poor, med, or good BCB as per BAB, and it effects what poten...

I'm trying to work Charisma into not being a dump stat, and I don't know how. Wisdom has a Will Save Intelligence has skill points So what does Charisma have? Nothing. Nil. It benefits magic (occasionally) but doesn't do crap for anything else. This makes it a dump stat for everyone except the guy w...

How bad the balance point is, is relevant criticism that needs to be taken into account. Leadership is a terrible balance point, and everyone knows it, which is why the first feat was scraped for being ass, because Leadership was not the balance point being aimed for by anyone, including the actual...

O_O

J'ai besoin de ce jeu-ca.

IF LEADERSHIP IS ALLOWED IN A GAME, THIS FEAT SHOULD BE ALLOWED AS WELL. IF YOU WANT TO RUIN YOUR GAME, THIS FEAT SHOULD BE ALLOWED, BECAUSE IT RUINS THE GAME! Yes. This feat is like Leadership. That does not refute the point that Leadership is a terrible feat that should never be allowed, and this...

woah, woah... there's another card game? Where??

alright, necro-ing because of a playtest. So I built one of these guys (Aasimar for maxxed wisdom. Woot!), and I had trouble with the spells available/maintenance slots. They improve sporadically, which is annoying. You're going from levels 1-6 making it through with 6 levels of spells known (WisMod...

Oh... so I should re-do the Thief skill list. Not too much treasure manipulation going on there...

On another note, is there trading available between players? Like, "give me 2 fighter skills and I'll give you my Nightcloak. You'll be sneaky and I'll get stabination dice."

OH SHIT! IT'S LIKE EVERY OTHER COMBO IN THE GAME!! Except now, instead of being available to only Batman and his buddies, it goes on everybody... I don't see a problem. If you allow Leadership, you allow this. If you don't like Leadership is a good idea (thank you, Ice9), then you don't allow this....

BAB: 2 HP: 5d4+Con*5 AC: X Saves: X BAB: 5 HP: 5d10+Con*5 AC: Better than X Saves: Better than X Please, go play in traffic. The offense/defense slider is *fine* as long as you don't decide that someone gets to have both the best offense and defense at the same time (which this feat does). At level...

No. Fuck you. Buffs fucking SCALE. So having [LOTS] of them with a single feat is fucking retarded. That's retarded for EXACTLY the same reason taking leadership to get a buffmonkey to follow you around is retarded. Oh no... scaling buffs... a) If you don't like this, Leadership is not a good idea ...
