Check out Multi-class Archtypes for an alternate for dipping. I wish I it was my idea, but the op was somebody else.
The Genius Guide to Rune Staves and Wyrd Wands PDF The Genius Guide to Feats of Runic Might The Genius Guide to Feats of Runic Might II I am throwing my vote in with these three.
I actually like Crypt of the Everflame. I plan on using it as a way to get the party together before starting Rise of the Runelords.
I actually think that is impracticable. Maybe, ideal, but still impracticable. A three way multiclass isn't practicable either. Triple multiclassing wasn't all that in 1e or 2e. You loose too much. That would be best represented by a couple of feats and skill choices.
Both trailers made good impression on me. That was immediately shattered to tiny, tiny pieces when I tried to check character generation as I was redirected to facebook page. Can't anyone do anything without the !@#$ facebook those times? I agree, but I will take what I get until something else comes along.
Here is something close for now.
I really like the artificer in the Eberron setting. That being said, for a majority of settings, it would likely be better to make the artificer into a Prestige class. I say that because I don't see it really fitting an archtype, or school specialty. This is one of those cases where the Prestige class is appropriate.
Add in quite a few of the monsters have been converted in Bestiary 2. If not there, then in the above link mentioned.
None at all. We're already doing a Tian Xia adventure path, and getting THAT one off the ground was tough enough. What about my pirates vs vikings, both sides manipulated by ninjas idea?
You, sir, have just earned the Super Geek award of the day for you colorful use of gaming, business, biology, & programming in one analogy. Bravo!! Bravo!!
The main problem I started to see at WotC, before 4e, was the tendency to devalue some 3pp products. It may have not been intentional, but there was too many coincidences. A company would put out a book on drow, then suddenly WotC would. Another put out a good book on sailing & pirates, the WotC put out Stormwrack. It started looking like they waited to see if a certain product did well for somebody else, then make "official" rules. Again, may not have been intentional, but there it is.
The whole discussion is really, "What is a GM's job?" The main definition is: To facilitate the storyline of the adventure, and to challenge the players. Notice: Challenge implies many things, which is the main sticking point here. Challenge does not mean to thwart all of the players' efforts. Challenge means look at what the party can do, then design encounters that stretch those abilities. You are supposed to make them think. Heck, I LOVE it when my players actually use their abilities in full. Too many times I see players that get to 7th level & have only concentrated on two of the character's abilities, not realizing that she can do six other things as well.
Just from a quick scan, you seem to have basically re-imagined the Eberron artificer as more a mechanical type. It looks pretty good so far, BUT the clockwork companion mechanic is too powerful. It means the engineer is basically 2 PCs. You may want to look at making it more like the homoculus with benefits of an animal companion thrown in. The sapient construct is too short. I see you are trying to make a subtype, but it is flimsy.
I usually don't agree with Cartigan, but he is right. I have been GMing since the late 80s. The main thing I learned a LONG time ago was that no matter how much planning you do, the PCs will usually find away to fool you. The PCs don't know what you have planned. They are trying to solve a problem. Usually they come up with a solution you never dreamed they would try. You can do your best to set up an encounter they way you want, say a key NPC interaction where they are tricked into a blind alley trap. You think you are slick & clever, but then the rogue rolls a 20 on Sense Motive. With all his bonuses he is able to not only tell the NPC is lying, but smells that he had fried eggs & toast for breakfast, proving he isn't even a vegan like he claimed earlier. Stuff happens. Good GMs learn to work with that.
I will NEVER understand the need by some GMs to punish players for actually using what they know for it's intended purpose. That would be like a state trooper pulling you over & giving a ticket for safe driving. And what makes you think I didn't read the whole thread? I understand perfectly well what the original post was about. You obviously did NOT understand my post. Punishing the players implies the GM going out of his way to make an ability/spell useless. Using Rope Trick does not warrant a witch hunt against the players. You can always roll you nightly encounters, THEN use the creatures skills/abilities/senses to see if it finds the PCs anyway. THAT would be acceptable. Even an occasional encounter that is targeted at the situation. But the GM should never go out of their way against a PC actually using tactics. Keep them on their toes, YES. Take away a spell, effectively, just because it annoys you, NO. If the spell was generally agreed to be broken, I could see just banning it, but this spell is NOT.
Since I don't know Foxit at all, anyone willing to help me with this issue, would be greatly helpful. Thanks! There is no problem with Foxit. It defaults to no highlights. In the upper right corner there is a checkbox to use highlighted spaces for the form fillable parts.
Ok, now that you probably aren't even reading because of all the snark, which I would have contributed to had I found this before the "snark that shall not be named ban," it was a well thought out post. You really won't find that in the majority here. Sorry, but we come here for a little bit of fun, a little bit of news, and some socializing. I know plenty of people that answer people when face to face with one or two words. This isn't a cell phone text plan. You aren't getting charged for each text. The boards thrive with all of the "+1s", "want", etc. The +1 IS the established version of the like button on these boards. These all contribute to the friendly atmosphere that exist here. I can name other boards where it does not exist. So, just sit back & relax. This is the atmosphere many of us come to these boards for.
It's never wrong to make a Kanye joke. Should be it is never wrong to make a joke out of Kayne. :P
Got to love the Duke.
I did go on a bit of a tear where I was dropping release after release so I kind of spoiled people, but chopswil's idea is right here. Sometimes I have to spend the time to make a big feature. But that is what every good drug dealer does. You provide the samples that get them hooked. Now you have them waiting & BEGGING for another "hit". You, my man, have some serious dope. :P
If I were a paranoid person, I'd suspect a conspiracy. Aliens would probably be involved. I agree. There are a few that would say a government conspiracy. I don't believe it. Those people are ignoring the fact they are talking about the same government that can't seem to balance a checkbook, much less have the brains for a true conspiracy. It MUST be aliens.
Some conversions were answered in another thread:
A comment on some boards (can't remember where) got me thinking. Take the abandoned Maztica 2e setting. In the Forgotten Realms 4e history, this continent (basically the entire western hemisphere) of Toril is shunted to somewhere else. Spellslinger is a fantasy based wild west type setting. Take the shifted Maztica setting & place the Spellslinger setting north of the original setting. Then forward the timeline about 300 years.
No, I am going with what feels right for each school based on the modern casting stats.
