Re: [3.5, Base] The Arbiter: Embodiment of Neutrality (PEACH)
I probably just overlooked it, but if not -- do you think it might be helpful if this class could somehow detect or sense when someone has a non-natural bonus to one of their stats? Like, for this ability, for example
As a standard action, the arbiter may select an enemy who currently benefits from numerical enhancements to AC, attack/damage rolls, or ability scores.
Also, what happens if the duration of the spell / effect granting the bonus wears off before the Arbiter's effect does? Like, if someone is Gauntlet of Ogre Power, and they take it off after you use the effect; do the extra points just go away?
Again, sorry if you already clarified this! ;D

You might want to change Y on the table to Arbiter. Just saying.

Re: [3.5, Base] The Arbiter: Embodiment of Neutrality (PEACH)
I was actually planning it for a Mastermind-type class, that would have that, along with a neato ability to "imprint" people with Tricks (you know, from the Handle Animal skill).
So, you could alter someone's behavior so that they would "naturally" attack when you ask them nicely. Or make some random person throw themselves in front of an arrow for you.
Also, they would have some at-will abilities that alter the environment, though not in a visual way; think of it as some sort of awesome, Ex Mirage Arcana effect.
When I have the time, I might write it up and post it. Of course, it IS competing with my idea for a Mother of Monsters class (you have a ton of summoning spells, but the list that you summon from are monsters you "birthed", so they have some differences to them- basically, think Ozodrin-type changes.), and my Lunatic Fringe class (this guy WANTS to get hit... because he can transform that damage into speed. Or healing. Or strength. Or armor class. Or status effects for other people. Or... you get the idea), and my idea for a psi-spellcaster (essentially, it's a remake of the Psychic Warrior who can put powers into spell slots for increased benefits.), and my idea for martial psionicist (someone who manifests maneuvers in a unique manner... Wait, I actually think I have the idea for this one!), and...
You get the point.

Re: [3.5, Base] The Arbiter: Embodiment of Neutrality (PEACH)
1. The Pavlov-imagery of the Mastermind class is undeniable.
2. All of those ideas sound awesome. Mother of Monsters is basically Echidna from Greek Mythology, and I can imagine playing one as being a lot like the Maxis game Spore, only with D&D creatures, as you selectively breed for desired traits. And I love the Lunatic Fringe class (though I don't understand the "fringe" part of the name, admittedly. Pain-mad Scion maybe?). That would be epic.
3. Please make each of these classes. My next one will be a Final Fantasy-type Judge, embodiment of Law. Let's try and get them out at the same time. Say, next week or two?
4. See #3. If you have any questions, please consult customer services. We hope you've had a pleasant day (though your call may have been monitored for quality-assurance purposes).Last edited by TravelLog; 2011-11-07 at 12:07 AM.

Re: [3.5, Base] The Arbiter: Embodiment of Neutrality (PEACH)
I'm actually going to post the pavlovian class now, while I still have all the crunch in my head; that is generally easier for me.
However, I will post a different class next week, so see you then.

Re: [3.5, Base] The Arbiter: Embodiment of Neutrality (PEACH)
Yay for homebrew necro!
I'm dubious flavor-wise why an "aura of neutrality" would grant AC & attack bonuses. It just doesn't make sense. I personally would do something like call it "aura of balance", and have it apply either an atk bonus and AC penalty, or the reverse, switchable as a swift action.
A lot of the switching stuff is very confusing, particularly Friendly Arbitration. It's not clear what "reallocate among his allies" means. I would give an example for that and possibly other abilities.
Other than that, this looks really cool :)(member in good standing of the troll-feeder's guild)

Re: [3.5, Base] The Arbiter: Embodiment of Neutrality (PEACH)
OK I think that makes more sense now (though you didn't include the extra +2 in your example).
And by the way, this is just begging to be gestalted with Aeon, Pleroma. :D(member in good standing of the troll-feeder's guild)

Re: [3.5, Base] The Arbiter: Embodiment of Neutrality (PEACH)
I really like this class I've used in a few of my campaigns and even made a group based around it
