Re: Request a Homebrew: Thread 2!
Also, the first one at least is not complicated. Tension can be modeled as a stacking +1 Morale to hit whenever an ally rolls max damage or crits. Biorhythm can be a cycle bouncing through +2, +1, +0, -1, -2, to hit or to damage. It really shouldn't need a request on here.

Requesting, for a pathfinder campaign, an aberration or ooze or some such (homebrewer's judgment) in the shape of a floating skull but that is not an undead. Medium size and mindless. Should move relatively slowly, ideally via flight. Should have multiple melee attacks (from tentacles, perhaps)that are weakly damaging and have low chance to hit, and should also have magical ranged attack, ideally electric, that should be likely to hit but also weakly damaging.
Basically, I'm looking for something that could appear to be the result of a mix of a whole lotta chaos and a little bit of necromancy. Ideally, it should have a decent CR to be considered a good boss fight for a group of first level characters. If possible, i would also appreciate a few bonus abilities that could be added as the party increases in level. Thank you!Last edited by Komodo; 2013-01-01 at 01:26 PM.

P.E.A.C.H. Please Evaluate And Critique Honestly. Being nicer and kinder doesn't hurt either. Note I generally only critique 3.5 and Pathfinder material.
Please, please, please when using non-core material, cite to the books. There are too many books to wade through to find the one with the feat, special ability or spell you use.

Oooh, very nice. Looks a bit too powerful for my purposes, but I can dial it down for now and remove handicaps as the party advances in level. Thanks so much! Just goes to show, you can always rely on Gold Dragons.There are no impossible encounters. There is only inadequate preparation.

I have a request for a 4th level Paladin self-buffing spell. Something that would give them, in addition to increased offense and defense, a flight speed.

Eagle's Flight
Level:Pal 2
Components:V, S, F/DF
Casting Time:1 standard action
Duration: 1 min/level.
Spell Resistance: Yes (harmless)
The caster gains a +2 bonus to attack rolls and AC and can fly at a speed of 30 feet (or 20 feet if wearing medium or heavy armor, or if carrying a medium or heavy load). They can ascend at half speed and descend at double speed, and their maneuverability is good. The spell requires only as much concentration as walking, so the subject can attack or cast spells normally. The subject of a fly spell can charge but not run, and it cannot carry aloft more weight than its maximum load, plus any armor it wears.
Should the spell duration expire while the subject is still aloft, the magic fails slowly. The subject floats downward 60 feet per round for 1d6 rounds. If it reaches the ground in that amount of time, it lands safely. If not, it falls the rest of the distance, taking 1d6 points of damage per 10 feet of fall. Since dispelling a spell effectively ends it, the subject also descends in this way if the fly spell is dispelled, but not if it is negated by an antimagic field.

I'm DMing 3.5 D&D, and the idea of houseruling the skill-list is really growing on me. Are there any relevant projects done on the boards that I should look up on? (Current plan is to take the Pathfinder list and make some house-rules around it).
I know this is a bit different than the regular questions here, but I didn't know where else to ask :)

Re: Request a Homebrew: Thread 2!
I really wanna create a new discipline for a new Martial Adept base class I want to make, but I'm kind of lazy and have never tackled creating a discipline before. The class is called the Otataral Knight, based on the concept of otataral from the Malazan Book of the Fallen (it's a substance that basically creates an antimagic field). The class will probably have somethings along the lines of spell resistance, bonuses to saves, and eventually some immunities such as mind control, etc. I'm toying with the idea of the capstone being immunity to magic ala golems; in this case, I'd also probably state that they cannot benefit from magic items from day one or from magic spells and giving them a revised benefits table similar to the benefits of vow of poverty.
Anyway, I want the discipline to be called Otataral Dragon, and would replace the Stone Dragon for this class. What I'm looking for are strikes that would do some damage but, instead of debuffing stats/health etc, would dispell or weaken spell effects, potentially doing more damage the higher the level of the spell dispelled, and things like dismissing summoned creatures. A capstone strike would probably do some sort of limited disjunction (maybe not permanent, like a 1d4+1 rounds). I'd like the stances to allow the character to withstand effects from spells, negate them, or even impose something like an antimagic field at higher levels. Counters should work against spells, obviously, and not be provoked by attacks, but I don't really have many in mind except for a higher level one (something like 7/8/9th level) that would allow the Otataral Knight to be dragged along by any teleportation effects. Ideally, I'd like these to be attuned to combating both arcane and divine casters, as well as the spells cast as spell-like abilities by monsters/demons.
I don't really want a game-breaking discipline, or something to completely **** up careful casters, just knock them off their pedestal a bit. For instance, I hate that casters can get off celerity-teleportation as a get out of jail free card when they've bitten off more than they can chew with relative impugnity; I'd like this discipline to take that option away from them. Again, I really don't want it to completely negate casters (so strikes/counters that do such things should have reasonable DCs).
Although, fun note, a small shard of otataral is used to kill a god simply by playing catch with them, I don't want the discipline to have that sort of magic devouring power, at least before the upper levels. If anyone's interested, PM me! I'll probably come up with some other interesting ideas, as well.

Dwarf Crusader Racial Substitution Levels:
HD: d12.
Skills: Add Knowledge (Architecture and Engineering).
{table=head]Level|Base Attack Bonus|Fort Save|Ref Save|Will Save|Special
1st|+1|+2|+0|+0|Heroic Stand, Steely Resolve.
2nd|+2|+3|+0|+0|Roots of the Mountain
6th|+6|+5|+2|+2|Dwarven Smite 1/day.[/table]
Heroic Stand (Ex): Dwarven combat emphasizes defense over offense, and dwarven crusaders are no exception You gain a bonus to AC and DR /- equal to 1/5th the damage in your Steely Resolve pool rounded down (to a minimum of 1). You can only gain a maximum of +6 and DR 6/- from Heroic Stand.
This ability replaces Furious Counterattack.
Roots of the Mountain (Ex): You are a warrior of the dwarven people, the very roots upon which their civilization stands. Like the roots of the mountain upon which they physically stand you are resilient and resistant to physical harm and destruction.
You add your Wisdom bonus (if any) as a bonus on Fortitude saves. This bonus does not stack with a Paladin's Divine Grace.
This ability replaces Zealous Surge.
Dwarven Smite (Ex): Where other crusaders wield their rage equally against all foes, dwarven crusaders are particularly practiced in facing the traditional foes of their people.
Starting at 6th level once per day you can channel your anger and rage into a smite. On your next melee attack you gain a bonus to attack equal to your Wisdom modifier and damage equal to 3/4th your class level. If the target is an orc, goblinoid, giant, or dragon you instead gain a bonus to damage equal to 1.5 times your class level.
This ability replaces Smite and whenever you would gain additional Smites per day as a Crusader you gain additional Dwarven Smites instead.
Dwarven Swordsage:
HD: d10.
Skills: Add Knowledge (Architecture and Engineering).
{table=head]Level|Base Attack Bonus|Fort Save|Ref Save|Will Save|Special
1st|+0|+0|+2|+2|Quick to Act +1, Dwarven Weapon Focus.
5th|+3|+1|+4|+4| Dwarven Hardiness
9th|+6/+1|+3|+6|+6|Mettle.[/table]
Dwarven Weapon Focus (Ex): You gain the benefits of Weapon Focus with all axes, hammers, and any weapon with "dwarven" in its name you are proficient with, and may treat them as associated weapons for 1 discipline of your choice.
This ability replaces Discipline Focus (Weapon Focus).
Dwarven Hardiness (Ex): You gain a +2 competence bonus on Fortitude saves versus poison, disease, and death effects.
This replaces the increase to your Quick to Act gained at Lv 5. From this point forward your bonus from Quick to Act is 1 less than a normal swordsage's.
Mettle (Ex): At level 9 you gain Mettle.
This replaces the Swordsage's Evasion ability and if you would gain Improved Evasion as a Swordsage you gain Evasion instead.Peanut Half-Dragon Necromancer by Kurien.

Re: Request a Homebrew: Thread 2!
R854 I want to homebrew a warforged component, the shoulderbow, into a 3.5 version. what i mean is what would i (or an npc articifer) need to create it, how much would it cost and what would be the dmg.
here is the discription of the 4e item:
SpoilerThe shoulderbow is a warforged component that is embedded, hidden in the back of a warforged. With a thought, the shoulderbow can extend and mount on the warforged's shoulder. Once in position, the shoulderbow can fire using mental commands, and generates its own ammunition.
The shoulderbow can be activated with a thought, and takes a minor action to rise into position. Once in position, the shoulderbow can be fired as a standard action using a mental command and no hands. As a daily power, the shoulderbow can make a ranged basic attack as a minor action.
It would be awsome if you guys could help me with this.
Thanks a bunch!
p.s. I am new to the playground, is this in the right place?

Re: Request a Homebrew: Thread 2!
H 854
Shoulderbow
The shoulderbow is a warforged component that is embedded, hidden in the back of a warforged. With a thought, the shoulderbow can extend and mount on the warforged's shoulder. Once in position, the shoulderbow can fire using mental commands, and uses crossbow bolts stored inside the warforged's shoulder. Up to 10 bolts may be stored this way and they fire in the reverse order that they are inserted. Loading a bolt is a move action that provokes an attack of opportunity.
The shoulderbow can be activated with a thought, and takes a swift action to rise into position. Once in position, the shoulderbow can be fired as a standard action using a mental command and no hands. Once per day, as part of a full attack, the warforged may make an additional attack with the shoulderbow at his full base attack bonus. This attack is in addition to his regular attacks with any weapon. This extra attack does not stack with haste or similar effects.
The shoulderbow has an enhancement bonus of +1 but it may be further enchanted like any magic weapon by paying the crafter the difference between the cost of the new enchantments and the cost of a +1 enchantment (2,000 gp). It deals 1d8 points of damage plus any damage from any magical enchantments. It occupies the shoulders slot (typical of cloaks, capes, or mantles).
Faint transmutation; CL 5th; Craft Magic Arms and Armor, haste; Price 3,750 gp; Cost 2,150 gp + 64 XP.
Comments: I priced it as a repeating crossbow with a 1/day haste ability similar to other haste items. By not generating its own ammo I added a little 3.5 flexibility in that you could save it for some kind of special bolt you had tucked away if you want, or a regular bolt if you want.Last edited by ericgrau; 2013-01-09 at 11:00 PM.

For 3.5 I would like a creature that is basically a rooster bred for increased size and strength to replace riding dogs as the primary mount of gnomes. If possible I would like two variants, one that can fly and one that cannot, and I would like prices for both of them.
