The Gaming Den

Avoraciopoctules was the name of one of a past character's alternate identities. It has no real meaning. To get the name, I took the name of an attack used by a boss in the game Tales of Symphonia (Pronyma's Avoracium attack), then threw on some more syllables until it sounded like something a sligh...

Quite nice indeed. It's a magic hat, of course. This guy was recently raised as a Tome vampire as part of an accident involving an attempt to open an abysmal vortice inside a closed-off demiplane. The hat protects him from sunlight. I'm definitely looking forward to running the character. He's sligh...

After messing about with NWN and various hakpacks, I have discovered a way to represent Arcane Arms. I now present an image of one of the top 1000 stupidest looking SWDs of all time.



Yes, this is an actual character in a campaign.

NOT YET FINISHED , I am currently in the process of writing the class. I'm using the Vampire Paragon as a starting point. Zam-Ena Hit Die: d10 BAB/Saves: BAB: Poor (as Wizard); Fort: Medium; Reflex: Medium; Will: Good Class Skills: The Zam-Ena's class skills (and the key ability for each skill) are...

Pretty minor points:

The Indigo color for Prismatic Wall and Spray makes reference to Insanity as an Insanity spell, but Insanity spells aren't in the pdf.

Antimagic Field makes reference to Prismatic Sphere, but that doesn't exist anymore either.

{Reposted from http://brilliantgameologists.com/boards/index.php?topic=1880.0 in slightly different words.} I'm designing a necromancer in a Planescape game, and I decided that I wanted to make a new type of undead for her to create. I threw a few ideas around, and this is what I've come up with no...

Gray Armor? First thing I can think of would be the gray wastes. Maybe the armor came out of Hades and lets you radiate apathy. It wouldn't be that much of a stretch to come up with some Hades-themed Tome armor abilities. Let's see... What about this? I'm using BAB since it was the listed "skil...

Just Parry Magic? I mean, it could stand to do a little more. Make it hard to get close to him, if nothing else. He *is* (or can be) surrounded by the things, after all... Do you think Immediate-Action movement and multiple attacks of opportunity would model this reasonably well? I think there migh...

I apologize for the lack of feedback this far (unfortunately, you're near the end of a rather long line). May I ask whether you intend to keep this one as an invoker base class (that's actually what I'd like, as exercise)? And I thought blade discorporation was more interesting. No problem. I have ...

I wrote up a prestige class version of the SWD for the LoZ RPG system. http://z12.invisionfree.com/Zelda_RPG/index.php?showtopic=3128&hl= Some major changes, a few of which I intend to port over to this version. Blade Wind will become Wall of Blades, and it will function like the Samurai's Parry...

Could a Monster Rider declare a Swarm with a hive mind to be their mount? I'm envisioning a mummy that is carried through the air by thousands of scarab beetles.

Wind Tribe • +2 Wisdom, -2 Charisma. • Medium-size: As medium-size creatures, the Wind Tribe do not have any special advantages or disadvantages for their size. • Wind Tribe base Speed is 30 ft. • +1 racial bonus to Defense. You lose this bonus anytime you would lose your Dexterity bonus to Defense...

Hmm. I'm seeing some parallels between http://tgdmb.com/viewtopic.php?t=48711 and this. If you treat the combination as a segmented boss monster, all you have to do is let the players take turns controlling segments.

First: formatting trans-board errors. Second: compare to monsters or Tome classes, then cry. Third: most if not all of the example comparison characters are woefully ineffective compared to what they could be using the exact same classes . With regards to the formatting errors, I posted an image of...

Grr. BBCode saddens me.

Hello. I've lurked here for a while now (ever since I completely inadvertently discovered the Tomes on the WotC boards and started googling the authors), and recently managed to find a decent reason for posting. I'm working on making a revised version of a base class I found here: http://forums.glee...
