Why does overchannel scale with BAB?

It leads to more min-maxing (which is fuck you) as well as more bookkeeping when a person has to go "OK, so I add my athletic bonus to [Insert Value here] and my dodge bonus and my deflection, and my armor and my natural armor and my dexterity and my profane and my untyped and my nimble bonus a...

Pride could play a big role here. Your civilization's Persist-Spell-abusing Clerics of Pelor could be all like "fuck those wizards" and decide to kick their asses. Wizards take a hit, but Batman themselves out of it. Then the war begins, with lots of minions and death effects. Almost all w...

A flash of lightning, a break in the wave, he passes from logic to rest in this troll thread.

If you're going for just something undead, Magnetist 9 / Death Knight 1 is good--you can be a Revenant or Swordwraith or something.

If it's a ghost? That's beyond me.

You must hate everyone here.

Shadzar is allowed to make his sweeping generalizations, but you can't. You need to have numbers. Or else you're wrong and 2e is the best edition ever.

Yeah, the only thing that bothers me is a relatively limited bestiary.

Kaelik's battles last as long as Kaelik says so because he is Kaelik and you are dumb and stupid and any who isn't dumb or is Kaelik would know that Kaelik is right and has he mentioned that you are dumb?

I like this system. It is a good system.

I loves this. Very well done--I commend you.

I only kind of understand. For the average campaign, everyone will have similar (if not exactly the same) environment lore, because they will all be adventuring in one environment. The other thing seems very much like Legend, and not very different from most of D&D, so I'm wondering what you're ...

Speaking of Fire Elementals making houses, didn't someone have a quote along the lines of: "You can't burn down the inn, it's made of solid fire,"? I vaguely remember that. Also, freezing a Fire Elemental in temporal stasis--would it continue to radiate light and heat? Because that would m...

I totally skimmed this--someone may already have brought it up--but let's see.

Your stats can range from 2-12, correct? Your RNG is also 2d6.

That means the difference between a player's maxxed stat and their dumb stat can be THE ENTIRE RNG.

DUDE! D&D Gundam...

I think an integral fix would include taking out the psionic-ish spells from casters and give those to psionics.

'tis a pity you house such hatred. If you ignore the mods and the people sucking their dicks, it's a nice site.

The funny thing is double post.

What makes it bad? It seems like a viable idea, especially if you add errata metamagics. I mean, if you don't know all the spells in the books everywhere, it's not as good as a sorcerer, but seems like a very good idea otherwise.

I think a lot of people around here also get pissy when you talk about a class whose seperating ability is singing so that other people can get bonuses.

Well, if you'd like assistance, I saw these classes on GitP, and thought they might be of use.

I still don't see the dis-incentivation of big attacks followed by spam. I mean, if you're fighting a swarm of bad guys, you throw your finisher down to knock out as many as possible, and THEN get your hands dirty. If you're fighting a boss, you use your finisher to weaken him as much as possible, a...

Hm, I guess I wasn't thinking about it as shadow emulation and more as "lol my spells are made of black magic". I concede there.

The man has a point. Maybe you should play E6, bro.

Alternatively, you could make 1 level into 3-4 "levels", and as such make yourself feel better.

No they havent.

CORRECTION: "Everyone who contributes mildly constructively to this forum has read it."

All right, Kaelik, you win then. Some comments: Shadow Stepping's utility power at level 12 is nice, but it seems like the sort of thing a party would want, instead of just one character. It'd be nice to see that extended to four people and their equipment or whatever, unless you've got a better rea...
