I don't see how anyone's been fed. They decided the original idea was stupid and did something useful instead. People are creating new and interesting traits, sure. However, they're also doing exactly what the original post wanted. That's a good recipe to get more people coming in and doing it agai...

Guys, if you're going to write new traits, at least don't feed the troll.

In retrospect I should have made it a small, repeated amount of Vile damage, that way the spiders can be CRAAAAAAAAAAAAWLING IIIN their SKIIIIIIIIIIIIIIN , making WOOOOOOOUNDS that DOOOO NOT HEEEEAAAAL! <facepalm /> Maybe also inflict a disease that does a point or two of Vile damage a day and infl...

WEB-SLINGING KILLER Some questions/comments about this guy's abilities. Sarcasm (Ex): starting at first level, the Web-slinging Killer becomes a pain in the ass. Any time they are attacked and the attack misses them (due to Armour Class, Miss Chance or whatever), they may make a sarcastic comment a...

I once played a psychic warrior/incarnate that worked pretty well. It was mostly an out-of-combat build, but he worked pretty well in combat, too. Admittedly, this was mostly because the DM's solution to 3.x's retarded economy was to not give us any money, and the build was really, really gimmicky (...

More ideas: Snatch: a speedened can attempt to grab spell components, arrows, or similar small objects held by an adjacent target as an immediate action. The target makes a reflex save (DC is 10+speedened's reflex save bonus); if they fail, the speedened ends up holding the item, and the target's ac...

Give him some monkeywrench and 'dodge shit' style abilities. These would all probably be useful for too long, but some random ideas: Defensive Awareness: When taking a full defense action, you may additionally concentrate on responding more efficiently to threats nearby. Within the square you decla...

I'm honestly not seeing a big balance issue (although there is potential for one to happen). I'm actually really happy that I managed to get the class as well balanced as it looks like I did. I expected that the first four posts would be "There is no way that this is balanced, you need to comp...

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!'. It's certainly lolworthy. "Using blue shift is tiring. Any round that you fit more that a refular full-round action into with the use of...

Simply add "And no, you can't UMD a runestaff or any other shit to expand your spell list for WTFBBQ game breaking effect. The spell list is what it is. If you try to expand it , your DM is well within his rights to slap you in the face." I approve of this idea. Also, deleted "non-mo...

You can UMD runestaffs to pretend to be another class, Right, the Tomes make class and cross-class skills essentially meaningless. Even so, it's an interesting question. Does the wording of Blueshift ("This ability does not apply to spellcasting not gained as part of the Speedened class, nor d...

Depending on the level of detail you want, it might be interesting to make the player manage cargo mass and volume. Shuttles radio up their cargo manifests two minutes before they get there, and if you don't have enough cargo modules available when they get there, you're out of luck (and any dudes w...

Being able to run away really well is something I just don't care about enough to stop something having. Also, the idea of super speedy messengers isn't really overpowered in a game with teleport . Also true. After reading around this place a little more, my group was apparently missing the splatbo...

This is starting to sound like Dwarf Fortress Defense in Space. Which would be awesome. I really like the crew idea, but the player needs to have at least some way to control them, if only so that the player can evacuate compartments before flooding them with vaporized uranium. Even something as sim...

I'd just like to say that I support Blue Shift as an ability name, but speedened as a class name was liberally from my ass without any quality checking. And I'm not particularly fond of it. I'm really, really uncreative when it comes to proper nouns. Probably as a side effect of being a computer sc...

Remember, a Speedened can't dodge things that target them except by breaking line of effect. If you slide ten feet to the left, I just point my arrow at you again before I fire. You can slide after I declare you my target, and you can slide again after I roll to hit, but I still got to roll to hit ,...

So, right away the slide ability pops out at me. Since as a speedened I can do this at any time i'm going to be doing at every time. Readied action shift in case of suprise round, hell, use me as the monkey in the barrel, i'll just shift out of the way of anything if I ever get suprised. Enemies at...

[quote="TarkisFlux]Speedened (which is what I will now call this class to avoid term confusion).[/quote] Quickened already means something, particularly relating to spells. This will get confusing. Yeah, I was worrying about that, but I couldn't think of a better word that didn't already mean s...

First of all, greetings. I was bored, I had an idea for a class, and a friend pointed me here. Fun place. I think I might stick around. Second, that class idea I mentioned. [edit] This class has moved to the wiki here . [/edit] Speedened "Objection!" To most, combat is a frenzied whirl of ...
