Can Dwarves tumble in heavy armor?[br][br]Last session, the dwarven fighter tried to tumble while wearing full plate. I, the DM, said “hell no.” The player then said that he could tumble as long as his speed wasn’t reduced for wearing armor or being encumbered. We checked the PH and he was right. :f...

You could just mash all of the fighting classes together and have abilites that are gained at every odd level (or whenever it seems appropiate).[br][br]For exampe, at every odd level, a fighter chooses one ability from this list:[br][br]1.

Is everyone happy with the d8 ranger?[br][br]I would prefer to see the ranger go back to d10 hit dice. Indeed, I think d12 would be even bet...

A feat’s power could expand based on a character’s level, much like a spell’s damage and range increases per level.[br][br]For example, the Dodge feat would give you a +1 bonus initially, then another +1 per 5 character levels. So a 1st level character taking Dodge would gain +1 to AC. This would in...

What about a granting all characters a flat number of skill points at 1st level, in addition to the ones granted by their class?[br][br]For example, all characters start with 24 skill points, plus Int modifier x 3. Humans receive another 3 skill points on top of that. A 1st level rogue would also ge...
