ALright, It's confirmed my Barb (or fighter) will be throwing lightning bolts.

Hopefully to finish off that aberration he just tossed into orbit.

BEHOLD! Thor, God of Thunder!

I never noticed (hehe) it before so would not miss it.

IMO the best to go about this from the beginning would have been to create a cat that was the product of the Awaken druid spell. Then you'd have an intelligent cat that you could add class levels to.

As far as fixing it now; if it bothers you do what the others here have suggested and see if the DM will allow you to get a girdle of opposite gender and a hat of disguise.

It's a really strong, retarded orc with autism. I think the people protesting just have no concept of how to step outside of their "normal" box.

Role playing a 5 in a mental stat is going to be just as difficult as really role playing an 18 in a mental stat. Most of us are not geniuses or social savants and as such cannot actually think like one despite trying to play characters who are. The same applies to a 5. If you allow people to play characters with really high stats then there's no good reason to disallow or scoff at low stats.

I don't think names are very important. It's always possible for a character's parents to make up their own unique name or for a character to make up his own name later in life because he didn't like his given name.

In my games, we rarely actually use the character names. We usually just refer to everyone by the player name because nobody can remember the character names or a player can't pronounce a character name.

I think ultimately a character's name is only important to the player of that character because it helps the player define who the character is.

If you do a lot of talking in character in your game, then make up some jargon for it. +1 could be a "level one enchantment". A +5 vorpal sword could be a "level five enchantment with the vorpal quality". The smith would understand that this actually makes the weapon have a "level ten enchantment" overall since +5 is the equivalent of vorpal in that way.

I'm of the opinion that a lost eye should penalize melee attacks and AC, rather than ranged attacks (maybe ranged attacks in close range).

I know, it seems a little counter-intuitive, but think about it. What do archers or gunmen do when lining up a distant shot? They close one eye.

And it's backed up by science too. You only use binocular vision to determine distance out to about 20 ft. After that, your brain relies on visual cues, which means losing an eye would have no effect. What a monocular person would find difficult is dealing with objects very close, moving very fast (like an axe swinging at your head, for instance).

There's a great article by a guy who actually lost an eye on depth perception and what he found difficult to do Here

EDIT: Okay, semi-ninja'd, but I have a nice link :D

Reading that article, I would say give them a -4 to perception (because of the blind spot) and a penalty on actions out to a distance of 20ft that rely on sight (attacks, acrobatics, disable device, craft). -1 to actions at a range of 20ft, -2 at 15ft, -3 at 10ft, and -4 at 5ft or closer. Also apply this penalty to dexterity bonus to AC. Give the character a +2 to intimidate because someone with an eye patch could be a little intimidating.

Where's the topic? Did the OP get eaten?

I had some old crit/fumble tables that I've had around forever (probably since AD&D1) and I decided to convert them to be more 3.5/PF friendly and share them.

Feel free to use them. Might need some tweaking. I've only made a couple of passes over it but I've changed a lot.
Let me know what you think.

Have the DM introduce some kind of magical pool of dirt that transforms you permanently after you fall into while in earth elemental form. The pool then loses its properties after the transformation is complete.
