Re: CoD: New Mission - Scourge of the Flame

For a little more about mission parameters: Something weird has been going on. The mayor of Flamehorn has been calling together the townsfolk nearly on a daily basis, discussing portents of doom. These town meetings are rather odd, not only for the mayor's doom saying, but also for the content of hi...

Re: CoD: New Mission - Scourge of the Flame

Here is the template character. I dunno if this is its final form, but it should do for now. If someone wants to be a race that is not available in the base character, that is not a problem. I can easily transfer the relevant information. Additionally, a class that is not one of the base 10 classes ...

Re: CoD: New Mission - Scourge of the Flame

I think I am going to create a base character sheet that will be used. You load the "base character", then add your own enhancements.

Re: CoD: New Mission - Recover the Jewel

Unfortunately, school has taken precedence and I haven't had time to begin this mission. After careful consideration, I have another thought in mind... one that may work really well on the forums. So, I will make another post with that one. This idea is still in the works, and if I have time, I'll p...

With some customization, yes. I believe someone else worked on this in the past with success. I don't have the book personally, though, and I don't recall seeing the fruits of the other's labors posted here, so I have no way of verifying this information.

Psionics in Eberron have some story behind them, but I have no issue with psionics. Keep in mind that there is full psionics/magic transparency, and just as all spells that normally take a standard action are taking a full round action, same with powers. This is to actually harm enemy casters more t...

I really like the setting. There are numerous ways of attaining a large amount of wealth. The easiest way is to be Human, Dragonmarked, and Favored in House. Adding a couple of flaws allows you to start with the appropriate feats. You can be a rogue with a bunch of starting feats and have a ton of w...

Re: what would you do(3.5 character question)

What setting is it? What style of melee do you like? There's mounted melee, charger builds, gish builds, pounce builds, etc. Depending on how you want to participate in battle will help me give you some interesting ideas for a character with not-the-norm class combos.

Re: [Playtest] Arena of Ages

That's just it, the racial classes REMOVE the level adjustment from races. Instead, you level up in your race rather than using the racial hit dice + level adjustments. A thri-kreen using the racial class is a +0 level adjustment race. He then may take four levels of Thri-Kreen (a class found in Com...

Re: [Playtest] Arena of Ages

Oh, I just thought of a few more questions: If a race has a level adjustment, could one take it as a racial class? For instance, the Thri-Kreen in Expanded Psionics Handbook has 2 racial hit dice and a +2 level adjustment, but WotC has created the Racial Class in Complete Psionic (pp 149-151). Since...

I would recommend a starting XP value instead of a starting level. This way, players can spend their XP to buy their level, or they can spend it to buy their race and level. If you are using Level Adjustment Buyback rules, this will determine what level they wind up with. A +2 level adjustment can b...
