"While using Blueshift to run long distances, you take nonlethal damage or must rest based on your distance travelled not on the time spent running or hustling. Example: A 10th level Speedened, Erik, uses his Blueshift to convert the Run action into a move action, allowing him to Run twice per ...

Excellent list! It's true, the art of insult has been lost. Mainly because if you use anything other than 'shit', 'fuck', 'crap', or 'jesus', people look at you funny. Pretty much only in the company of geeks can you call someone a noxious load of pig feces and actually have them understand what you...

I'd just like to lend my weight to the fact that the Australian accent, especially the goddamn western sydney australian accent, is terrifying and horrible. I get told by various non-australian people I know or have met that my accent (that I can't hear) is cute, awesome, or amazing. This pisses me ...

It's in the loom'n'hulk factor.

Your Loom and Hulk values can impact your Actual Size(tm) by up to 150%!*


*Not actually true facts.

Yeah, here in australia we don't have anywhere near the level of state independence you crazy americans 'enjoy'. Some (very few) laws are different, there's different state infrastructure and they're loosely 'independent', but everything is still ultimately under the purview of the federal governmen...

This is actually a problem I have with a lot of games that I end up playing in, and one of the reasons I really, really dislike FR. Building a setting can take a bit of work, sure. I can understand why someone would not like to do that, if they could just buy a setting instead. Some settings, like E...

If you're reaaaaallllyyy stuck for a class name, you could rename it 'Attorney At Law' and rename Blueshift to 'Objection', and Slide to 'Stop Right There!'.

"..with his appendage of choice."

Koumei's list > the 90% of races written up as playable for DnD, combined. I need to play more goddamn yuan-ti. Also, I was thinking about character archetypes the other day, and how each stat has at least one subtyped [Awesome] image/character concept/class attached to it. I mean for strength you'v...

Modest horses are medium (people) size in DnD.

It's a bit weird but I tend to just modify those measurements on the fly. I mean, it's not like all the stuff wasn't hacked together in minutes by some sleep-deprived writer/designer anyway.

I've taken to calling myself a 'nontheist' these days. Because if I mention the word atheist christian people tell me that I worship science or something and get really angry about it because I hate god. (actual quotes) And if I say 'agnostic' they all start trying to convert me. (again, actual not ...

But that is cheesy so we're not going to do it.

This is exactly what i've always wanted and what i've always never been able to run anything but. The idea that a setting isn't reactive like a real world is one that fills me with puzzlement. If the goal is to simulate/narrativate a world similar to this one, why does it react like elastic every ti...

If I can't get a graphic artist, this game will use ASCII graphics like Dorf Fort. Get a graphic artist. I know a few. Seriously. Get an artist. Dwarf Fort works because there are people insane enough to use its incredibly unintuitive interface due to the sheer amount of work that has been put into...

Shuttles arrive regularly, like, every 5 minutes(faster) regularly. Sometimes they bring goods you want to build your base (some or all of which could be random due to having failed your requisition check - random could even be good/awesome stuff you want, governments are crazy like that, but most o...

I like it the way it is. :\ A list of spells and a naming table where you roll 3d10 wouldn't appreciably improve this class in my mind. Cause it's not just tea. Tea doesn't reproduce spell effects. Well, I lie, tea does. But not these spell effects. This is Magic Tea [/b]. Nothing is stopping a 1st ...

The Tome Samurai breaks things right in half with an ancestral scythe at lower levels. At higher levels, it breaks things in half a lot less. A hell of a lot less. And by higher levels, I mean levels like '5' or '6'. And don't fucking go all roy on me and assume that every samurai has a tight battle...

You could go two ways with the combat chef, that I can see. 1. Combat chef. Uses cheflike things in combat, like Exploding Souffle (Ex) and Overly Sharpened Knives (Ex). 2. combat Chef. Has..uh... is a mana druggist, basically, but with different names on the abilities. Actually I take it back. With...

Clockwork Men

I have wanted clockwork men for a very long time.

...

Not like that.

Av, could you download your ability to think up awesome plots, and then upload it into my mind? That would be awesome. Koumei - if you're up for another player, i'm generally available thursday mornings (GMT+10), although I don't have the Dreamscarred class creator, i'm sure I can get my hands on it...

I like that the title accurately sums up the content of the thread, though.

Sigh, the poor rogue.

Tome feats help, but not enough.

Kaelik - Like Roy, you seem to have some trouble understanding how people play the game. People don't usually milk a class for all it's combat potential. Even veteran minmaxers/game-designers-who-use-math usually don't do this. Making a base class that is comparable to a maxed out cleric or wizard u...

For the deflect arrows feat, instead of giving infinite deflection at level 16, (or maybe as well as), why not use up AoOs to deflect arrows? Each projectile you deflect costs you an AoO.
