Summoning has been an inherited (or highly limited) trait in all FF games since FFIV. FFV doesn't count because you're calling on the powers of an ancient Summoner hero, just like the characters gain all their other abilities in that game. No reasonable conclusion can be drawn about how FFV...

Technik, what you're proposing here is actually one HELL of a lot more reasonable than the original poster, and that makes a lot of difference. I do think the TWF rules as written are a bit under-powered, but the original post, and the later modifications, are simply much too far in the other...

<Sheepish grin> I meant that as much to point out to all the pepole who were raving about this that it didn't meet an "unwritten" requirement for inclusion as to tip you off. I'm sure if you just slap on a "Powers gained" table and a "Power Points per level" column we can make it look fairly...

Post ended up on the wrong thread, gomen nasai.

I beg to difer. A realism argument has a very valid place, because it IS the basis for all physical combat in the system. In 3rd Edition, most aspects of melee combat are abstracted or covered in some way to the point where the realism of the model is surprising. Sure, there isn't any way to...

Uhm....no offense LostSoul, and I do understand what your position on Psionics is likely to be, there IS a perfectly serviceable psionics system in that book, and we are (last time I checked) trying to be as true to the published rules as possible. I know I haven't been active for awhile, but...

All right, I'll spell it out for you. You act as if your words are the final word in any issue you choose to speak on. All who disagree are met with borderline insults and insistence that any source to the contrary is wrong. Count two is correct because he is one of the co-authors of the PHB...

Hong, the entire point of that was simply that you seem to be of the opinion that your game is more important in the general scheme of things than the game described in the books. Frankly, it's not. The "Official" game is the one described in the books. The current version of "polymorph self"...

Another thing you need to understand, Hong, is that some people (particularly RPGA players) have no choice. To them, Skip's word is law, simply because you have to go by SOMEBODY'S rulings. In the short term, that might be the judge or the GM for your group, but Skip Williams' rulings are the...

This looks very interesting. Oddly enough, it reminds me of the "Thief" computer games, specifically the Watchers. If you're not familiar with Thief, the Watchers are a priesthood that, well, watches things. Including things they probably shouldn't. And they're VERY good at it.

Oh for the love of Kami-sama, THINK about this for a second! I'll make it easier: Go out to your garage and find a baseball bat. Then go to your kitchen and pick up the chef's knife (the large one). Now consider that these two approximate the weight and balance-point of a scimitar and...

I'm just curious, but why do you dislike the quasi-mystical powers of the monk class? Most of that stuff is possible according to the stories about ancient China and Japan, as well as being an established part of Zen Bhuddist dogma. If you say "realism" try to remember that we're talking about...

Erm, I disagree about the idea that Sorcerers even CAN 'research' spells to be honest. Their spells develop as a result of shaping their internal relationship with their magic. They might require time to discover their maigc, and significant amounts of it spent in meditation. But to say they...

On conditions: Looks like about what I meant, but the penalty to will saves makes it nearly impossible for a SD character to make any saves except when the levels are REALLY getting up there. The reason for just stripping out the Will save is to make it ZERO. Excepting a Wisdom penalty, most...

Erm.....what version of the conditions are currently being used, particularly "Overstimulated" and "Delirious?"

Someone just brought up that there's an "Official" Ravager PrC. It would seem prudent to rename ours.

. . . . "EARTHLINK?" . . . . and they're wondering why their message boards have been having problems?

RPG players are one heck of an eclectic group, though. I'm willing to bet that a much higher percentage of gamers are mac-owners than the general population. As are Linux-types and others who use so-called "secondary OSes." The fact that PCGen caters to these groups while E-Tools only goes to...

I feel a need to clarify what I meant. When I said it was inevitable that the use of a new program would slow things down, I really meant it. What I didn't explain was that it will likely slow things down until you get used to working with it, in and out of combat. This is a common effect, so...

Both of these issues can be caused by simply not performing preventative maintenence on your computer, actually. Go to your "Start" menu, click on Run, and type "Scandisk" in the field. Start it, then walk away from your computer for awhile. If it's done when you come back, repeat the...
