The Gaming Den

http://minmaxforum.com/index.php Josh was successful in fixing the issue. Boards have migrated here.

I believe there's an issue with it allowing him access to the BG's personal info if he just takes over.

Strat and others were in the process of creating boards to migrate the info to. The minmax boards went down before that could happen. I contacted BG Josh, and he said it was a problem consisting of 'too many files', but thought he could fix it. That was a day or two ago. I'd back up now using google...

It's not set in stone yet

There will be progression, it's just I wanted to avoid the 3e stereotype of 'linear melee, quadratic caster'. I'm trying to go for everyone progressing in a linear fashion.

Well it looks like I'll have to put this on pause as my hard drive is apparently dying from bad sectors. Back shortly once I get it fixed.

Calm down Frank. It's not patting myself on the back, it's making a statement, seeing how the audience reacts, and then deciding if I wish to re-adjust my plans based on their reactions. No point in writing stuff out if no one ever wants to use it. That's generally what this thread is for is hashing...

Is there any reason why your warrior actually has to be designed to require magical gear? If it's for the numbers, either design the monsters to not have such numbers, or give the numbers directly without forcing people to spend ability slots just to keep up with what the system expects. If it's fo...

Magical skills are just not the same as powers. If BMX bandit can do sick super jumps, he still doesn't beat angel summoner who can fly on the wings of his angels. BMX bandit distance jumped < Angel Summoner distance flown. Skills and magic are not comparable to each other. Unless the mage can't ge...

to op: You may wish to watch the newer Gamera series as a link between the giant monster and a human is heavily implied though not as well explored as I would've liked. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e32GJ8HU_W0 1st movie it's implied but not explored much at all, but the mythos is set up https://ww...

Warriors will still get magic. It's just that they'll focus more on skills than powers, while wizrds focus more on powers than skills. Warmages being traditional gishes will be about even. I'm just deciding on how warriors get their stuff, My current consideration is simply building magic items or p...

Which they most likely will. Here's a list of possible subclasses for the main classes I'm fiddling about with. I'd like opinions on what people would like added and what they'd like to see gone. The Cleric: You provide the party with access to the help of the Gods or other Powers. Subclasses: Demig...

Well one of the points of this discussion was to see what people objected to before I started writing it out :biggrin: There will be exceptions. Monsters that have animal intelligence or near animal intelligence will obviously not be casters unless Awakened. I'm considering making it so that at each...

In what way do you believe it kills monster diversity?

Ah. Much of what I'm considering for 3.75 is still in planning stages. Powers though don't scale with level. Remember above in the class chassis where it says 'You may also upgrade one power per level'? Thats how they scale. For example when you first take a Burning Hands spell at 1st level maybe it...

PC's pick a race and a class, so why not monsters? For example you pick a monster (Bullywug), and then a monster class (Ambush Predator, Unfeeling Brute, Tribal Shaman, something that defines the concept you want). One of the problems with monsters in determining CR as compared to PC's is that monst...

We'll start with this: Before the certain other boards crumpled I was beginning to kick around some ideas for a 3.5 redux. My current thoughts for a class chassis might look something like this: WARRIOR Alignment Unrestricted Hit Points 10 plus Con Modifier at 1st Level, and 5 plus Con Modifier at e...

Basically I have some homebrew I want reviewed crunch wise, and I need some people who A) Aren't familiar with me and thereby don't have said feelings possible clouding their judgement B) Are willing to be outspoken and honest, but willing to say why. In other words to paraphrase a certain director ...

Wizards has a post about playing cats on one of their April Fools day Articles. Also if you don't mind visiting GitP or the BG Forums I have a homebrew class called the Cat Burglar that lets people turn into kittehs. It's on it's third version now. http://brilliantgameologists.com/boards/index.php?t...
