What does Vital Strike do?

Seriously, no one cares exactly where it belongs. It gets thrown into the class area and called good enough.

I would, however, like to thank you for including (Ex) and (Su) tags in your abilities this time.

EDIT: Also, HOLY SHIT. CLASS SKILLS WTF?!?!

So... you can or can't dispel Supernatural effects?

It's like a shitty divine Boneblade Reaper. Also, sacrificing two caster levels? No. Definitely not. If you're a cleric, your job is to keep your caster level as high as possible, so you can fvck people up. This class helps you fail at your job. Also, the abilities are moderately interesting, but ag...

And now, for something pretty much the same: Tome 0.6.1 (via our very own googlecode repo) Changelog: Version 0.6.1 * Iaimeki’s Arcane Archer, Bladesinger, Dragon Disciple, and Eldritch Knight prestige classes added to community section * Koumei’s Knight and Sohei prestige classes added, as well as ...

Or just drop the feat, since they have the same options now anyway... This is a very slippery slope. If we rewrite this, why not this? Well, how about that? The Tome was designed to balance against monsters as they stand, and if things get rewritten, then everything else has to be adjusted or at lea...

Alright. Finally managed to set up a stable repo at Google Code, and maybe now with help work can start getting done. Additionally, for people who want the latest copy or feel like proofreading (editors always welcome), you can grab the latest version here. I'll try and post updated builds every cou...

In what context do you lose Dex to AC? Period? Only when running?

I'd have no problem writing up skill lists for Komei's classes (I've done at least one). Please do. :D When can you get started? I've got quite a list here... I do agree with you and see your point, however, about "LPD." Ideally, we do want to keep compatibility with everything else that'...

So, as you might have noticed, there's been a bit of a resurgence in the Tome PDF thread lately - some newcomers have started helping me carry the ball, and one of them even has started forking his own version off - he wants it to be something like "Tome+SRD." This is very cool. It helps r...

Did so. More cute almost-flavor text one liners.

PS - do you not add Ex or Su or Sp tags to your abilities on purpose? Or is everything just assumed to be Ex unless you specify, "This is a supernatural ability"?

Frank's Spirit Shaman wrote:Proficiencies: Simple and Weapons, Light and Medium Armour

Was this supposed to be "Simple and Martial Weapons"?

Glad you liked it. Care to provide flavor text for the other two, or should I just make it the hell up and you can be surprised? (Or keep the Lorem Ipsum I have in there now.)

That's what I assumed about the feats. Thanks for clarifying.

Feats: Insightful Strike and/or Zen Archery How does this work? Either they are both prerequisites, or either will suffice. I can understand conditional requirements, but there don't seem to be any in play. Also, putting it into the Tomes, I added this flavor text: "You came from Wel Hung Temp...

Yeah, I'm still getting the kinks out too. All you really need to do is read chapters 1 & 4 of that book I linked you to, and you should be mostly set.

Is this done? I'd like to include it in the PDF.

Send me that source when you do it, and I'll put it into the repo.

Then we can talk about branching.

I understand that your reasons are selfish - hell, mine are too. But I might as well make it as usable as possible for everyone else while I'm at it.

Have Spacesuit Will Travel by Robert Heinlein?

As in, why do I want the PDF in general, or why do I want to split it up? I want the PDF's because they're nicely formatted, they're organized, they lay things out in a reasonable manner, and most importantly, they're offline. They're also damn easy to convert to dead tree format. Offline is a big o...

Bump for updates.

Very strange. How about green tea? Or white?

Black tea is just green tea that's been oxidized more (it's Camellia sinensis either way) White tea is also the same plant (red tea is not).

Marked for inclusion in the trunk release of Tome 0.6.1: -Iaimeki's Arcane Archer, Bladesinger, Dragon Disciple, and Eldritch Knight PrCl's (Rage Mage Take 1&2, Mystic Theurge, and others, left off due to people thinking they were crazy fucktarded - and they were a little strange). - Koumei's So...

Bump for finish.

Doesn't look too bad, and it might even get into the Tome PDF one of these days (especially with Utterfail's push to put more community material in).

Diablo II is a great game, but literally every single thing it does with magic items is bad for a table top role playing game. Can anyone elaborate on this for me? I can imagine a few things, like the obvious "paying for magic items" but what else? And why are they so bad? Lets see... som...

It's in the PDF at least (I think), so I'm pretty sure it existed at one point. Check it out there maybe, and see if it's what you remember? EDIT: Yes, I see what you mean. There's some stuff missing from the end. The original post chopped off talking about the Modrons, whereas this cops off talking...
