That said, even humans photosynthesize to some extent. No they don't. Photosynthesis has a pretty specific meaning, and humans don't do it. Yeah, there are some reactions that are catalyzed by light in humans (vitamin D, etc), but that doesn't equal photosynthesis by a long shot. Yeah, non-nitrogen...

So far the fight is going well. The stormlord announced himself via a sudden rainstorm (to reduce visibility for everyone but himself) and used Whispering Wind to profess that their DOOM was upon them, and then hit them with Chain Lightning from like 400 feet above their heads. One of the Conduit's ...

Don't the 0 + 9 level abilities combined equal arbitrarily high damage? I mean... you could just fall from orbit, as you say, and do as much damage as you want, and take none yourself because you instead "redirect it into the ground". Right? I don't actually like the idea of being able to ...

Incendiary Boils is just... awesome.

You forgot to put "per day" in the number of times you can use Web Spinner. Nice collection of feats. I'll have to try these out on NPCs in my game.

Yeah... Shiva is a dude...

The one in my game is certainly doing fine. He's dipped a bit into True Fiend, though, and has some fiendish feats which help.

Why not just make this something that everyone can do, instead of making up a new skill that anyone who cares about this has to stick max ranks in? Just make it an opposed attack roll. There is already a limit on the number of attacks of opportunity you can make in a round. So there is no need to im...

For anyone that thinks you can get more than one AoO on someone moving past you, I ask this. How many swings can you get in on a baseball pitch? I think asking how many chances to tackle a football player gets when passed up (without moving more than 5ft) represents the AoO thing better. The answer...

You only provoke once per movement per enemy, no matter how far you go, or how many threatened squares you leave within that enemy's reach. It's at the bottom of the page that you just linked to... Moving out of more than one square threatened by the same opponent in the same round doesn’t count as ...

Well, if you aren't going to have him use Lightning Bolt, it won't matter, but lightning bolt is only 320ft long, not 1600ft, and I have not idea how you got that number. Ah, I was thinking Lightning Bolt was also long range, and then doubled. Anyway, the Chain Lightning still has an 800 foot range...

I'm going to try one of these as an NPC in the Tome game I'm running, but I'm a bit worried that it is going to be too strong and result in a TPK if I run it as-is. The PCs just leveled up to 8th, so I was thinking I'd make this guy 10th, and make him a volodni (tree person) mostly because the flavo...

Granted Power: Whenever you kill someone with a power from this sphere, you gain control of an effigy of that creature composed of orange force. You cannot control any creatures with a CR greater than 2 less than yours. Otherwise there are no control limits. This is way too freakin' powerful for a ...

What part of that causes you to inflict twice as much damage as a guy with a greatsword? Seriously, what fucking part of it does that? -Username17 Power Attack. Oh sure. Sneak Attack too. People who have static damage bonuses like Two Weapon Fighting because it lets them use their static damage bon...

Power Attack.

What about a spell for level 19? edit: Also, uploaded the feats (or at least Deflect Arrows) to the wiki, if you don't mind (I'll delete them if you mind). I'm not really liking Ironhide; it seems like a pure number booster. Some armors specifically halve your armor check penalty already, so that g...

Watch what you're saying there, Mortal.

As far as the psion goes, it uses a system which is basically 'I can't believe it's not magic' to not achieve anything particularly interesting or meaningfully different to magic. In fact, only something like a half-dozen unique psionic effects have been identified ever, which means that as a psion...

I'd... forgotten about that spell. I had confused it with Sequester, which really isn't combat oriented as it only works on willing subjects. Yeah, I think that fits better flavor-wise.

Hmm... that's pretty potent. Since that's normally a 9th level spell, I'd probably move Mass Time Hop down a level and put that at 15th. It's a pretty good suggestion, though. Thanks.

Olympic Thrower [Combat] You have learned to put your momentum behind things when you throw them. Benfits: This Combat feat scales with your base attack bonus. +0 You can make a "charge" attack with thrown weapons. For every 10 feet you move, you gain one extra range increment on your thr...

Love it. I think I might use one of these as an NPC in the Tome game I'm running. The higher level powers might be a bit much, though. An at will effect that does 400 points of damage to a gigantic area at long range?

In an old thread on the WotC boards, we came pretty close to reproducing the whole "gain every ability in the game, and infinite stats" thing using only core rules. You can definitely do it with Core + Psionics. The thing that winds up with all that shit technically isn't you , though (it'...

The 3.5 version of the 'zerai got +6 Dex and +2 Wis, along with some other crap I don't remember. They had a LA of +2, which was too high, also. I forget what book that was in... but I played one a few months ago, despite the LA totally nerfing me, just like what was said in the other thread. :bigg...

A Paragon class would be nice for these guys, that gives more Psi-like abilities like Inertial Armor, Plane Shift, etc.
