Request a Homebrew: Thread 2!

This is a PrC and may be 3.0/3.5, but other than that it might be what you are looking for.

Cybernetic Gunner

Unfortunately that requires the Black Rain discipline, plus a race/feat from Eberron. You could substitute race for Android easily, but I don't know what to do about the maneuvers since Pathfinder is sorely lacking.

Unfortunately that requires the Black Rain discipline, plus a race/feat from Eberron. You could substitute race for Android easily, but I don't know what to do about the maneuvers since Pathfinder is sorely lacking.

Option 1:There are alternate rules for an arcane-based version of Cybernetic Gunner in the post of Cybernetic Gunner.



Option 2:Ask around for how to port initiating classes and maneuvers over to Pathfinder.

HERE is a listing of some homebrew base classes in case you want something that won't require you to buy the book. You can find anything that matches Black Rain's feel, because the disciplines never got cross referenced with all the classes and PrCs, which means that the classes listings in Black Rain itself basically mean nothing. Note that Black Rain is open to all the classes that are in the actual Tome of Battle: Book of Nine Swords.

Also, I think that both the Warblade and "Reference Cards" for all the ToB maneuvers, including Diamond Mind, are availible on Wizards of the Coast's site..

All right, I can work with this. I'll just have to take away some power and add some things to extend it to a traditional class, but this'll be an excellent starting point. Maybe I should ask Pramxnin for permission and maybe some ideas if he's still here.

[DrunkenMists]

I'm in need of a Big..Big favor from some wonderful person who is good at homebrew.

I need an Incarnum Version for an Incarnate of the pathfinder Spell. Ant Haul.

My current party is having a bit of falling out at my warforge's ability to pull a cart at a run... the only way it would work in a certain opinion is if it was a light load...and right now; it eeks barely into my medium.

Plus..after thinking on it; I think a "incarnum" semi-version of the bag of holding would be neat..the difference is being I can just carry alot..but it still looks like I'm carrying alot.
I would use the spell...but my forged has almost no way to access magic herself.

Here's my opening volley!

H903:
Wayfarer's Pack
Descriptors: None
Classes: Incarnate
Chakra: Shoulders or heart
Saving Throw: None

You shape incarnum into a sturdy backpack that is just wider than your shoulders. Despite its cumbersome appearance, you are not hindered in the least.

While worn, the Wayfarer's pack grants a +2 bonus on Survival checks and Constitution checks to avoid fatigue from a forced march. This bonus increases by +2 for each point of invested essentia.

Chakra Bind (Shoulders): Your pack binds itself to your shoulders. The leather becomes taught and the straps settle into a comfortable position.

For every point of essentia invested in this soulmeld, your Max Dex increases by 1, your encumbrance penalties are reduced by 1 (to a minimum of 0), and your movement increases by 5ft.

Chakra Bind (Heart): You channel the soul energy of pack rats and vagabonds through your heart chakra turning your Wayfarer's Pack into a small, extradimensional storage space almost as pliable as cloth, and as resilient as adamantine.

When Wayfarer's Pack is bound to the heart chakra, it acts as a Handy Haversack. The middle compartment, though, acts as a Type I Bag of Holding. For every pont of essentia you invest, the bag weight increases by 15 pounds, the wieght limit increases by 500 pounds, and the volume limit increases by 50 cu ft.

[Maquise]

R904:
I have a request for a rather niche Pathfinder PrC called the Faithful Blade. It's a combination Paladin-soulknife (The Dreamscarred Press version). It would based on the soulknife's psi-implement becoming the divine bond. Ideally, it would have options for both offensive and defensive characters (the planned character will be a shielded blade/sacred shield).

[DrunkenMists]

*snip*

C903:

That's actually. Wow. Exactly what I was looking for, I never even though of treating it like a shoulder/haversack idea.

Thank you Very Much Xaotiq1.

The Encumbrance rules at a little odd; Do you think it would be overpowerd if the shoulder Chakra bind was changed to something like...

"For every point of essentia invested in this soulmeld, you carry capacity is raised as if you had 2 extra Strength."

Early Levels; it's not much; just enough to make somewhat heavier things lift-able...at higher levels (10 in my case) it's enough to push the capacity up 4 points and do things like pull wagons easily.
At higher levels; it's strong, as it opens to 6 extra str; and then 8...

This would also encompass the encubrance rules; but only the weight side of it..if armor still encumber's you; your S'O'L.

Speed bonus's? I'll leave that to the boots ^_^

Again; Thanks!

While the Vile Shaft (ugh, that's a name to remember) discipline as all fine and good I was talking more along the lines of this when I said Abyssal Archery. Think of marksmanship augmented by netherworldly powers and necromantic might.

Any takers for this job?

A Aberrant-Focused Paladin.
That is all, thank you.
Zaydos got this.

[Zaydos]

H. 905

Detect Magic: At 1st level an Aberrant Paladin may use Detect Magic as a spell-like ability at-will. This replaces a standard paladin's Detect Evil ability.

Smite Divine: At 1st level an Aberrant Paladin gains the ability to once per day attempt to smite
a creature capable of casting divine spells or with one of the alignment subtypes with one normal melee attack. She adds her Charisma bonus (if any) to her attack roll and deals 1 extra point of damage per paladin level. If the paladin accidentally smites a creature that is not capable of casting divine spells or with an alignment subtype, the smite has no effect, but the ability is still used up for that day.
At 5th level, and at every five levels thereafter, the paladin may smite divine one additional time per day.

This replaces a standard paladin's Smite Evil ability.

Divine Grace: As a standard paladin.

Life Siphon - At 2nd level an Aberrant Paladin gains the ability to siphon life with a touch. This ability functions like Lay on Hands, except it may be used to heal or damage any creature. If used to heal a creature the Aberrant Paladin loses hp equal to the amount healed. If used to damage a creature the Aberrant Paladin gains hp equal to the amount damaged.
This replaces a paladin's Lay on Hands.

Fear Aura (Su): Beginning at 3rd level an aberrant paladin radiates an aura of unease and terror. Your special mount, and any ally who has traveled with you for at least 1 week are immune to this aura. Other creatures within 10-ft of the paladin must make a Will save (DC 10 +1/2 aberrant paladin level + Charisma modifier) or be shaken for as long as they remain in the aura and for 1 minute afterwards. Any creature that successfully saves is immune to your fear aura for 1 day.

This replaces a standard paladin's Aura of Courage.

Rebuke/Command Aberrations (Su): Beginning at 4th level an aberrant paladin gains the ability to rebuke and command aberrations as an evil cleric rebukes and commands undead. An aberrant paladin may use this ability 3 + Charisma modifiers times per day as a cleric 3 levels lower than his paladin class level. You may use these rebuke attempts to fuel Divine feats and Domain (or Devotion) feats as if they were Turn Undead attempts.

This ability replaces a standard paladin's Turn Undead.

Special Mount: An Aberrant Paladin's special mount has 1 less HD than a regular Paladin's mount but gains the Psuedonatural Creature (Lords of Madness) template.

Touch of Madness: As sixth level you gain the ability to make a melee touch attack which causes creature to become confused (as Confusion spell) for 1 round/class level. This is a supernatural mind-affecting ability with a save DC of 10 +1/2 your class level + your Charisma bonus. At 9th level and every 3rd level thereafter you may use this ability 1 additional time each day.

This replaces a paladin's Remove Disease ability.

Spells: Unmodified except for list (below). Only changed the PHB spells if you want someone to change the SpC spells I can look at them but that might take more time (based most of the changes here off of Paladin of Slaughter's changes).

1st—bane, cause fear, color spray, create water, detect poison, divine favor, endure elements, entropic shield, lesser confusion, nystul's magic aura, magic weapon, protection from good, protection from law, read magic, resistance, virtue; 2nd—blindness/deafness, bull’s strength, cure light wounds, darkness, delay poison, eagle’s splendor, owl’s wisdom, resist energy, undetectable alignment; 3rd— arcane sight, cure moderate wounds, deeper darkness, dispel magic, greater
magic weapon, heal mount, prayer, magic circle against good/law, vampiric touch; 4th—break enchantment, confusion, cure serious wounds, dispel good, dispel law, freedom of movement, unholy sword.

Not sure if you need a new Code of Conduct or would rather make one of your own that fits the setting so here's a go at one anyway
(Provisional) Code of Conduct
An aberrant paladin must be of a non-lawful non-good alignment
and loses all class abilities if she ever willingly serves a non-aberration god dwelling in the Outer Planes.
Additionally, an aberration paladin’s code requires that she acts to spread the power and taint of the Far Realm into other worlds, and does not oppose its incursion.

R906 (crossing my fingers that this time i might actually get some suggestions/assistance)

I am in need of a 2nd and 19th level ability for my Hexblade retool

I would prefer the 2nd level be some kind of out of comat use, maybe even the 19th levle one.. though I would also love to see the 19th ability be a group buff of some sort.

The problem with this is that it's your homebrew and you've written so much stuff that other people will need to read the whole thing and figure out what you're trying to do (as in it's not a small project anymore), or they'll suggest something that likely doesn't fit and gets shut down (kind of hurts the desire to even try). This is also at a critical level where quality control is going to be highest, and at a level so high that basically no one will ever use it. I'll give it a shot, though.

2nd: Omen of Peril with a 1-minute meditation, once per day.
19th: Permanent nondetection effect.

I like the omen of peril idea, though I am not sure by what you mean by 1 minute mediation.

[Just to Browse]

The standard omen of peril requires 1 round to cast, meaning you could pop it in a chase scene to figure out whether the door you're planning on running through is a good one or a bad one. I recommend changing the casting time to 1 minute, that way you don't get the same kind of awesomeness in time-sensitive situations.

[Debihuman]

Please number your Requests as #R, your Homebrew as #H and Comments as #C as it helps to keep things in order (See first post).

C# 906

How about stealing the Fickle Finger of Fate ability from the Fatespinner Prestige Class (Complete Arcane)? It is similar to misfortune though it encompasses more (it can be any roll).

How often can a hexblade use a Jinx? You didn't put that in. Is it once a day for each jinx? They should be Supernatural Abilities (you have Charisma-based saves).

Hey there, in my ownw orld i have combined some less than desireable feats. for example i have combined great fortitude and endurance, and lightning reflexes and dodge

SO please help me create a second ability to attach to Iron Will.

here are my Great fortitude

I am looking for a Egyptian themed Prc for a 'paladin' of Ra. Id like the requirements to be divine grace and 2nd levle divine spells, as the character in question is going to be going paladin 2/ then into oracle.
I want the PrC to be more around the theme of supportive buffs in abilities, and id either like it to give full or near full casting progression or maybe its own spells ala ur-priest.

im thinking something along the lines of liek the warpriest where I get haste and heroism or other such supportive buffs X a day

also C907 that is awesome!

R909

I'm looking for a Dark Magic user base class (low tier 3 or high tier 4), in the vein of Beguiler, Dread Necromancer. I guess, similar to the Dread Necromancer but without the focus on creating/controlling/becoming undead.

If possible, although this is a much larger request, I'm looking at 4 base classes to replace the wizard, all low tier 3 or high tier 4:

• Deception specialist (I.e something like a slight rework to beguiler)
• Dark Magic Specialist (see above paragraph)
• Battle Mage (could just be slight changes to Warmage)
• Abjurantion and Protection specialist

Thanks in advance.

[ngilop]

H909 Sorry, i got teh bare bones of it down, but dinner is needing to be fixed so i'll finish it later. i hope at least the items i have so far are decent enough. Edit #1 3 hours later well the spell list took a lot longer than I had thought it would. Edit #2 8 hours later

Weapon and Armor Proficiencies: A Dark mage is proficient with all simple weapons and with light armor, but not with shields.

Spells A Dark Mage casts arcane spells, which are drawn from the Dark Mage spell list. Like a sorcerer, he can cast any spell he knows without preparing it ahead of time. When a Dark Mage gains access to a new level of spells, he automatically knows all the spells for that level given on the Dark mage's spell list. Dark Mages also have the option of adding to their existing spell list through their advanced learning ability as they increase in level (see below).

To cast a spell, a Dark Mage must have an Intelligence score of 10 + the spell's level. The Difficulty Class for a saving throw against a Dark Mage's spell is 10 + the spell's level + his Intelligence modifier. Like other spellcasters, a Dark mage can cast only a certain number of spells of each spell level per day. His base daily spell allotment is given on the above table. In addition, she receives bonus spells for a high Intelligence score.

C910: I'm unsure that needs stats. Isn't it basically a sheath, just one that looks like a cane? Where is there anything but fluff to change?

C910.2: Maybe it could have the option of doing bludgeoning damage (sheathed) or maybe piercing and/or slashing damage (unsheathed)? I don't know pretty much anything about them other than they look cool.
It seems kind of practical for a high ranking woman though. She'd have her body guards obviously, but if whatever's attacking makes it past them, she'd have a weapon of some sort to at least attempt to protect herself.

C 910.3: Well, as a baseline, it's a walking stick with a thin sword (probably a Rapier in D&D terms) in it, and the sword's handle is decorated such that it looks like part of the stick. So you're basically suggesting "hit someone with the stick," which for practical purposes would be an improvised weapon - it wouldn't have enough heft for a greatclub or club, but it'd be too long for a light-weapon equivalent (call it a Size -1 club, or a lethal-damage sap)

I'm not saying it's impractical as a thing, just that there really isn't any crunch involved.

Oh, okay. Thanks for the advise.

Really, the critical part of the sword-cane is the Spot check DC to notices it isn't just a cane. I'd say that for a good-quality one (such as is almost certainly the case here) that it should be at least DC 20, from within 10' (IE short enough for no penalties for distance), for someone especially looking for it. At least a +10 bonus if actually holding it, and thus probably using Search instead of Spot.

I need three new races of Outsiders.

The Enforcers (or something like that): these are extraterrestial creatures that judge your soul after you've passed on. They have a vaguely humanoid appearence, but lack any distinct features. A halo of Silver light makes it hard to look at them directly. They float. When you die, you spirit pops up on the Ethereal plane where a Enforcer is waiting. He then sums up your deeds, intentions and aspirations and decieds too which afterlife you should go. You can't attack an Enforcer if you died and normally apeared on the Etherial Plane, but if you travel there by means of magic you can hurt an Enforcer. If at all possible, I would like three ranks of Enforcers. the Least, who would just judge the normal people. The Lesser Version, which is sent to judge a person who could hurt or even kill an least enforcer. And a Greater Enforcer, which is sent to the Material plane to stop someone who has lived past his normal Experation Date somehow. (like a lich, or someone who obtained inmortality trough a Wish effect)

The Seraphs: the CG outsider race. ( I didn't like the fluff of Eladrins, so I replaced them) I'd try to describe what they look like, but these pictures, found by Man on Fire, depict them way better. ( I actually took the idea from his post on another Thread, so if Man on Fire ever reads this: thank you!)

I could see it this way:
- CG are all those bizarre Angels, like the ones decribed in Bible and other holy texts, the higher in hierarchy they are, the more bizarre and inhuman and chaotic they look. Most powerful ones look like this, this or this, some steps lower in hierarchy there are guys like this one. The lowest are still a bit more humanoid, but even they have some really bizarre traits. Like this, this, this, this or this. Maybe they have some connection to fey.

The Chaotic Neutral Race: I have a vague idea of what I want these creatures to be like, but it's not completely lined out. Basicly I want a bunch of creatures of different strengths that keep shifting form. Wether they can just adopt any form they want, or don't have a form of their one, or both I'm not sure.

(am I asking for too much? if so, if you guys only do one of them, I'd be really happy )

Change the names of modron creatures to match the Enforces.

Change the names of eldran to match the CG angels.

Change the names of one of the outsiders to fit your CN races.

R910 Could I get some stats for a swordcane, for DND 3.5 please?

There is already an official swordcane in Cityscape. Wizards of the Coast has kindly put up a web enhancement that includes the stats for it here: http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/we/20070314a
