If I ever play a good necromancer he'll only raise dead people who give permission in the form of a signed contract. I'll have to give him a fantastic charisma score to convince people to sign, though.

I'm thinking it may be more what Laurin is: a psion. My guess is that that's actually a real planet in there, and the Snarl is effectively it's god or guardian deity. Why lash out at Laurin in particular, and not Blackwing or Roy and co.? There are really only two major differences between them: alignment (and I'm not gonna go there because

Colonial Air Force posted:I'm really digging the Paladin of Freedom, except the bit about not helping anyone if it's a lawful act. I understand the intention, but the RAW interpretation would be pretty stupid. Slime posted:That list of alternate paladin types also had alternate ranger types, including an alternate ranger. An urban ranger. It gives you abilities more suited to an urban environment, making you good at things like tracking down missing persons and investigating crime. It basically makes you into a police detective, or possibly a private eye depending on which you prefer. If you want to read more, go to the main page and look at the bottom right, under "Variant Rules, open content from Unearthed Arcana." My favorite is the Wildshape Ranger variant. It's just thrown in there randomly, doesn't even have an official name.

NihilCredo posted:Other than that, I liked the Gestalt characters (you pick two classes and at each level up get the benefits of both, or the best of the two for stuff like hit dice, saves, etc.). It was kind of a throwaway idea and the vanilla classes were obviously not designed with it in mind, but I think it could have eventually been developed into pretty good system. But yeah, gestalt is fun. I only played in one gestalt game but I enjoyed it.

Every class gets Magic Items. Trying to use Magic Items to bridge the gap between fighter and wizard is an exercise in futility because every advantage the fighter buys in order to even the playing field, the wizard buys one to keep himself out of reach. Of course, the Wizard also has access to Magic Item crafting and can get what he needs for half the price, if he feels like it. Or the wizard could just cast disjunction, but hey

While he's right about Paizo not doing anything with the actually good 3.5 material, a 3rd party - Dreamscarred Press - has been porting over the cool poo poo, and doing a pretty good job of it. Tome of Battle and Magic of Incarnum in particular were really cool, but needed some more passes at the editors desk and more support after the initial release, so it's cool to see them get more love. They've also done Psionics, and iirc one of the guys working on it also worked on the Expanded Psionics Handbook in 3.5. They were also doing the Truenamer but it seems like the guy writing it disappeared.

Don't bother with custom magic items, or Item Familiars or the Paragnostic Assembly (the two other significant boosts to Truename checks). If your DM is cool enough to let you have them (none of them are guaranteed to be available), he's probably cool enough to just rework the DCs so that it's possible to use your basic class features without mild optimization. The Truenamer has really cool flavor but in practice it's a middling caster with more fiddly bits and caveats, and that requires you to spend resources in order to reach base competency. EDIT: I should probably say "two of the other three significant boosts to Truename checks", as Tome of Magic had a magic item that gives you a +10 enhancement bonus to Truename checks. Don't remember how much the cost compares to the custom competence item, but you probably want it anyway since the DM is more likely to allow it.

I actually like the Truenamers thing where people can teleport you by saying your name. Sounds fun. And Binders rule, actually. Shadowcasters work fine and have a decent enough power level, but are kind of bland. Their "spells" are called mysteries and are basically just spells. They go up to 9th level like any other full caster, and the way the mysteries are organized into groups can sometimes be inconvenient. It's not too important here. By default they're "cast as Arcane spells" and you only get 1 use of each mysteries per day. Your lower level mysteries eventually advance to being cast as SLAs (and can be cast 2/day) and the lowest levels end up cast as Supernatural abilities (3/day). Beyond that, they have two casting stats, a wonky bonus feat rule, some cantrip-like mysteries that eventually become at-will and some minor abilities, like not needing to eat. That's about it? I played one and it wasn't all that interesting. Nihilarian fucked around with this message at 07:58 on Sep 29, 2015 |
