The Gaming Den

Assume that the Cleric is smart enough to Widen his AMFs, so they're 20 feet wide, rather than 10. BAM! Your entire argument vanishes with a single metamagic feat and a "kick it up a notch!".[br][br]Oh, wait, the fighter could be using ranged weapons. Great, what's the best a Fighter can d...

After discussing this class on Nifty, I've come to the conclusion that the 19th level ability needs to be replaced with this one:[br][br] Skilled Wielder : At 19th level and beyond, the fighter gains a cumulative +1 bonus to each attack in a full attack action. Attacks made at the fighter's highest ...

This class needs no comment. [br][br][br] FIGHTER [br] Alignment: Any.[br] Hit Die: d10.[br][br] Class Skills (2+Int):[br]The fighter’s class skills (and the key ability for each skill) are Climb (Str), Craft (Int), Handle Animal (Cha), Intimidate (Cha), Jump (Str), Knowledge (anatomy), Ride (Dex), ...

It's all about the octopus druid-rogue Girallon's Blessing 14-handed Sneak Attack abuse.

There's a feat called Multispell. It lets wizards cast another spell each round (quickened). Should there be a feat for Fighters that allows them another iterative attack each round? [br][br]In theory, a wizard will run out of spells. A fighter doesn't run out of sword. Is this supposed to be some s...

Ahh, the Druid, the one class whose class features I didn’t change…much. Even with the modifications that I made, the Druid remains the bar by which I measured all of the other classes in this project. The two most significant changes I made: I totally revised the animal companion (now works like th...

Nah. Morningstars are wooden haft; metal head. Maces are entirely metal. It's in the PHB.

Actually, the filter doesn't care about the n, the r, or either e. It just doesn't like that one three-letter term for a homosexual dude.[br][br]Really, though, there ought to be some way to keep it from editing out something that's right in the middle of a superfuckingshort word. :tongue:[br][br][b...

I took Oberoni's comments into account, and reposted. [br][br]I'm still mulling on Frank's. I have a fundamental difference in design intent, I think. I wrote up 50 classes, not intending that each have unique mechanics, but that each have unique flavor. I wrote up these classes first and foremost a...

The Courtier (Rokugan, Swashbuckling Adventures) is an excellent idea behind a class, but D&D is no place for an idle courtesan who can talk, but can’t contribute anything else to a fight. This Courtier has been powered up significantly, and hasn’t lost a single one of it’s normal abilities. The...

So, really, the problem with unarmed combat is that there is a balancing act that has to be pulled between 1) being an effective melee combatant and 2) being penalized for not needing equipment.[br][br]The answer that WotC seems to be pulling for is the invention of alternate equipment for unarmed f...

Having Wisdom instead of Armor means that you are behind in AC until your Epic AC increases to over 200. [br][br]The problem is that your math doesn't apply here, because the Channeler isn't paying money for armor enhancement bonuses, deflection bonuses, or stat-boosing items -- because he can pers...

So, Frank, how would you propose fixing the Channeler (without making it any better at or more reliant upon spellcasting)? [br][br][br]Let me address some specific comments:[br][br] suddenly we are supposed to forgive the fact that he doesn't do as much damage as a character with a weapon. [br][br]T...

"G'yar. It's drivin me nuts."

The Cleric class is largely unmodified, but deserves posting regardless, simply to display the tiny additional powers that I figured needed to be added to bring the Cleric up to the Druid’s level. It’s not much, and it’s all at the end of the class (in order to have something to sacrifice to a PrC)....

OK, time to get back to this project. It’s been on the shelves for a long time, and I’m sure I’ll be erratic about posting these, but I’ve heard tell that some people are asking about the other 45 classes, so I’ll keep on pushing ahead, albeit slowly. [br][br]This class is intended to be the ancient...

I agree with the Guest. THF is not exclusive with S&B. Neither if TWF. But THFers can actually afford the animated shield, which TWFers generally cannot.[br][br]Falchion+Animated Tower Shield is still less expensive than Rapier x2, does equitable damage under most circumstances, and has more AC....

In order to actually answer your question, Lago::[br][br]A 6th level monk has a BAB of +4, and (presumably) a Strength of +2 or so. With the +4 from Improved Grapple, he has a +10 grapple check. [br][br]In order to be as good as Frank's Troll, he has to have an additional +4 bonus. [br]In order to b...

No, see, they have to overrun the chair..........nah.

And yet you have failed to name even one circumstance where a straight Mage can out-stealth a Trixter or a straight Rogue can out-damage a Trixter. And in all cases, you have ignored the best aspect of the high-levelled AT, and that is his unparalleled ability to scout/recon and be the transport/mo...

Actually, I have. Twice. Once was Maj, and once was Giant in the Playground, IIRC, though it might have been the third player in that game.

Frank -- do you allow Harm to trigger a save vs. Massive Damage?

Personally, I think humans, elves, and dwarves are on par with each other, and that all races need to be brought up to their level. Humans don't seem like much out of context, but their racial profile allows them to qualify for an assload of PrCs before anyone else can, and that's no small advantage...

Within the Core Rules there are two: Burst Weapons (which suck no matter how much you crit), and Vorpal Weapons (which are unbalanced whatever you do).[br][br]That's it. [br][br][br]Nope. Psionics made it into the SRD, which means Soul Feeder, Mind Feeder and Body Feeder weapons are core. That's fi...
