deanruel87: Your Shed Skin ability essentially doesn't function. You can't take actions when you are Stunned or Petrified(that's kind of the point), so you can't take a full round action to remove those conditions. If shedding is a purely mental action then you can slip out of paralyzation. I'm not...

To Caliborn : Hmmm, yes and no in my opinion. Here's what I see as the strong, and weak points of your idea. As a weak point I will come right out here and say I think the Tome's re-worked feat concept isn't workable. See it's not that it isn't a good idea but it's just not workable. See if you writ...

Keep coming up with ideas and I'll be happy to vet them. There is a lot of promise in what you've been working on and the abilities I wrote up are by no means complete or exhaustive. The hardest trick is to make clean mechanics that both capture the flavor in description and their operation. Trust ...

To the first I agree, I disliked that ability from day one and could never get it to feel right. I really liked the concept of a Monk being able to fire off one enormous punch but those are not the mechanics for it. I still feel the concept is valid and I would like to find a way to make it happen i...

So glad you like it. But don't be shy Sigma I've seen your Weaponsoul, if anyone can come up with a few great new styles and abilities it's you. So flex those mental muscles and add something!

It might help you if I explained the way I wrote the Fighting Style options. It has, thank you for responding. Let me first address your point about making scaling abilities. Your original list consists of a small series of perfectly scaling abilities, when expanding this list I found I was only ab...

First of all I just want to point out that I've totally overhauled the original post. It now much more accurately depicts what kind of community project I'd like to turn this into. So feel free to check it out. On the "tiny violent thrust" Fighting Style I've decided to start heavily playt...

Well I've come to the conclusion after a bit of playtesting that no matter what I go with for my pushback style I can't use my idea of making opponents resist the effect with grapple checks. Grapple just doesn't scale well, some low level opponents will trounce you and some high level opponents will...

Because that's a Master Fighting Style and I feel it would be too good for a fighting style. Although if you are suggesting something like # While Active, your Fighting Style affects any opponent you successfully bullrush with the violent thrust version of telekinesis, with a caster level equal to 1...

So here's a new one. I want a stance that pushes back the people it hits and I'm wondering how to do it. I have 4 ideas and they all get about the same thing done but in different ways. So tell me which of the following 4 you like best? * While Active, your Fighting Style allows you to force anyone ...

I think we can avoid the dumb AD&D style permanent injury charts that you're forced to roll on and just let the players do with it as they will. If that was to my post then I feel that you have either not read it fully or misunderstood it. In addition I don't understand "let the players do...

I'll adress concerns first and then go on to other things To Surgo I would respectfully disagree with you on the "Up The Walls" ability and tell you that in experience it probably gets taken the -most- of all the new styles I've yet made. The fact that it's not really useful the moment you...

Hmmmm, while I think that permanent death should certainly be possible for a character I agree that the system as it stands needs a lot of work. And while I won't try to tackle the entire problem myself I will put forth some help in an area that I've already worked on quite a bit. I was always unsat...

Hello everybody! My favorite class of all time is the Monk in the "Dungeonomicon". Now in the wuxai-esque campaign I just got into basically everyone is a Monk. So while Frank and K's creation is truly incredible it was -designed- with the idea that people using it would create their own c...
