I saw what you added to the bard ;)


I'm glad to see others who use the +2 to X; +2 to Y or Z stat array.

I've been doing that with my races for a while to cover some diversity with specific races.

I was going to put this at the end, but ill go ahead and say thanks (especially to you Toasty) for all the support and critique from everyone!


items:
-wands, staves, and other like items are now based off of per day charges. See table below:
Lvl 0 spell = unlimited use
Lvl 1 spell = 5/day
Lvl 2 spell = 4/day
Lvl 3 spell = 3/day
Lvl 4 spell = 2/day
Lvl 5 spell = 1/day
Lvl 6 spell = 1/ week or month as per dm discretion.

-mundane clothing can be enchanted to imbue ac, relevant armor properties, and the ability to bypass DR/ magic (but does not confer bonuses to hit and damage.

- Light armor confers DR 1/-, medium 2/-, and heavy armor 3/-. This stacks with any DR gained from class features and special materials.

healing changes:

- healing is maximized outside of combat

-healing surges: each character gains a number of healing surges/ day = to their con mod (no constructs or undead =P). The amount of HP regained from each healing surge is equal to the characters lvl + con mod.

- Heal (skill): you can spend a move action to allow a character to use one of their healing surges. The DC is equal to 10 + the characters HD. You must have one hand free to be able to render aid to an unconscious character. Healing kits give you a + 2 to this check.
Characters trained in the heal skill gain additional uses of the heal skill:
can delay the effects of a poison with a DC 20 check.
Can heal temporary ability dmg with a DC of 25 + the amount of ability loss.
Can heal the effects of a temporary lvl drain. DC = 25 + the lvl to be restored.

-bloodied: a character at half hp is considered bloodied. Bloodied characters gain +1 to hit and dmg and +1 to the DC of spells cast.

More to come.
