Well, step 1 is to pick up a large number of weakly poisonous animals. Step two is to fill your pants with them. Step three is you walk around like you had fast healing 80 or so and laugh... alot.

Re: Talkin' bout Exalted

Alright, I've been trying to get a good build together but school has been an evil time killer. By the way you want to be an eclipse so that you get to take advantage of getting Siderial stuff that lets you change target numbers, which is awesome.

I'll try to get the build up by Sunday.

Re: 3.5X Edition's Biggest Design Problem

See, the issue is that a fighter can only really use more than one weapon in a fight if he is a practitioner of sword-chuck fu, whereas every single spell that a spellcaster gains can be used if they really want to. And while the fighter using all of his exotic weapons might actually have his GM pul...

Re: 3.5X Edition's Biggest Design Problem

Well, at that point it depends on what you do to exotic weapons. In Frank's FF D20, for example, an exotic weapon was a basic weapon with some niftly template added on, and people would care if they got one of those. [br]In D&D 3.X, I don't think a fighter would wipe his ass with Exotic Weapon P...

The only reason why psionics can be considered less game breaking than spellcasting is because The Big Three have Real Ultimate Power being given to them all the time.
