I'm not going to keep this thread updated, since it's a pain to convert the coding and all that.

Ah... yes, I did my own paladin rewrite (still tweaking it and all). Admittedly, it is not designed with the same level of optimized play in mind that K and Frank's classes are, but it's worked out quite well in all playtesting so far, and it's been fantastically well received on multiple boards, on...

1165481932[/unixtime]]Vindication is really bad. [br][br]Point taken. I bumped it up to lasting the whole round (I don't want it to last longer because I want to keep smite feats generally at instantaneous or one round effects, that sort of thing, while Divine feats give the buffs), but it still se...

1165375792[/unixtime]]I don't see any advantage of this, more complicated, Paladin gets me. There's alot of text, most of the abilities are in the same place, but have more rext associated with them.[br][br]And my least favorite ability (turning) is on the list, and my next least favorite (mount) i...

1165368254[/unixtime]]To be fair, Frank, "balancing" a class compared to what D&D is is substantially different compared to how things ought to be balanced. In a world (or at least a gaming table) where a group isn't even interested in playing the kind of game you and K are working on...

1165338949[/unixtime]] Remember, however, that that abuse is somewhat prevented by the new paladin, in the respect that the Divine Grace is capped at the Paladin's level (thus, a level 2 paladin can never get any more benefit than a +2 to saves). [br][br]You're fooling yourself like the punk who ma...

1165291738[/unixtime]]First, I like the idea of changing smite damage to extra dice (perhaps +1d6 per 3 paladin levels). This makes it less abuseable when using damage multipliers, like charges and stuff. As extra damage dice, there's far fewer ways to truly abuse the ability for insane damage. The...

Thanks for the reply, Frank![br][br] 1165262344[/unixtime]]Things that immediately jump out at me:[br][br] The class retains the D&D schizophrenia as regards Saving Throws. If your class feature is "Has the best saves in the game", there's no reason to believe that you'd be satisfied w...

1165110686[/unixtime]]Way to many images. WAY too many. Having one at the top of the thread is fine, but why have so many of them? They break the text up and make it more cumbersome to read. And not all of them are that good.[br][br]-Desdan [br][br]Yeah... in the original writeup, there's the one p...

I posted this up on the Classes board on Wizards (and that post will always be the most updated, if for some reason I haven't updated this one). However, I'm hoping for a bit more scrutinizing eyes to examine it, here.[br][br]Does this appear balanced against monsters of the appropriate CR? Are ther...

Heck, you could even do what they do in the MMIV to fill lots of pages (Except anyone can do it like 10 times, and fill up way more, quite fast). It seems like half the book is spawn of tiamat junk.[br][br]So how about we have undead plants? Let's extend that to an undead, negative energy corrupted ...

Well, I suppose this is where I introduce myself. I'm Caedrus.

I play D&D, DM D&D, write stuff, and am into Eberron in a rather big way. It's good to be here.

In my game, I give half orcs a +2 bonus to Intimidate, +2 bonus to Survival, and a +4 bonus on saves vs disease. I've been considering a few other things, like perhaps a hint of the human element, or giving the option to remove one of the mental penalties, or perhaps extending their bonus to poison ...
