Wait....What? I did? When was this!?

EDIT:

Holy crap I did! I'm glad I found this before later in the month! I wish I had known sooner! I think I won't be doing Dexter, however. Hahaha.

Look forward to your entry.

Oh and please do throw a vote for last month's contest if you get a chance please.

[TheWombatOfDoom]

if I have time to look at them tomorrow I will. Morph suggested I do the same. Is it alright if I do it through PM?

I'd prefer you post it in the thread, both so that everyone is aware that another vote happened and for the free bumpage.

I'll let everyone know i voted, but i'd like the knowledge of where not shown.

[Tanuki Tales]

Well, voting is closed and congratulations to the winners!

I'll get on the trophies when I can, but college work comes first.

I also look forward to seeing the entries for this month's competition (which there are two weeks left), so get cracking everyone!

[Tanuki Tales]

All the trophies have been sent. Once again, Congratulations to all of you who placed and I offer a deep thanks to all who entered.

I do look forward to seeing more entries for our seventh contest by the by.

[Tanuki Tales]

So, how is everyone?

[TheWombatOfDoom]

Unfortunately, busy. Hopefully less busy soon.

It's cool, there's still over a week in the contest.

And you?

And you?

Acid testing one of my homebrew classes in the most brutal way possible.

[Midwoka]

So, how is everyone?

I'm pretty good. I found out that somebody on the forums is playing an Olympian in a PBP game =D


Unfortunately, I'm having some trouble with the latest contest. I started working out a class in my head, based on Samurai Pizza Cats... But when I went back and watched some of it, it turned out my memories of it were very muddled with other stuff (it's been a long time!), so the class had deviated significantly from what was actually in the show. Bluh.

Lucky. I here every once and while that my stuff is being used but they never give me any feedback beyond that. Leaves me a sad homebrewer.

The class just needs to be inspired by the show, it doesn't need to replicate it perfectly.

So, how is everyone?

I'm writing two new game systems, watching code geass, playing skyrim, writing a skyrim fanfic, making a Spider Blood Assassin character of a Pbp, and trying to figure out what abilities to put in the Roughmech, since I've only seen two episodes of Roughnecks.

So I'm doing good.

[Warpwolf16]

Hows my Alchemical Hunter look? *goes back to watching Spiderman*

[Tanuki Tales]

We have The Hulk and Kraven the Hunter. I am greatly amused.

First up, a rundown for the Uncontrollable Titan!

Fluff

• For some reason the first sentence reads like three fragments strung together, I'd suggest rewriting it to flow better.
• Titan should be plural in the second sentence since you describe them in a plural sense as "creatures".
• I think you meant "sheer" and not "shear".
• I think you meant "their" and not "there".
• Cleric should be pluralized.

Alignment

• Titan should be plural.

Dual-Minded

• I think you meant "attacking" and not "attack".
• I think you meant "gains a" and not "gain a".
• Titan should be plural.
• I think you meant "damaged by" and not "damage by".
• I think you meant "takes any" and not "take any".
• Ability should be plural.
• You should rewrite the following excerpt, because I had trouble reading it: "Lastly an uncontrollable titan most have at least one trigger for his life that will trigger a control check. For example an uncontrollable titan that's family was killed by bandits, he will need to make a control check. This trigger and any other that he chooses are controlled by GM decision."

Gamma Form

• You should rewrite the first sentence, I'm not sure what it means.

Sorry, I'm going to stop this part of the rundown here. I suggest just re-reading your entire entry, because there are a lot of errors I'm coming across.

Now onto the other part of the rundown.

• How exactly does someone qualify for this prestige class when you can only have one mutagen at a time?
• For Dual-minded, why is the DC 5+Wis and then 23+Wis? Shouldn't it be 25+Wis? Also, why does only melee damage cause a check to be need made? So if I shoot this guy in the head with a gun or throw a fireball his way, he just sits calm and pretty?
• Why doesn't the Gamma Wings Mutation give the Titan a flight speed?
• Does the Hardy Vitality Mutation give a total of Total Hit Dice+2xCon Mod or Total Hit Dicex2xCon Mod?
• Is the Heighten Senses Mutation supposed to be Scent or Blindsense or what?
• Why is the Immortality Mutation restricted to such a high level? It basically grants the Ferocity special quality, which is subpar to the Die Hard feat, which is itself terrible.
• Why doesn't the Self Healing Mutation just grant Fast Healing?
• As written, the Skin of Stone Mutation can grant DR 50/Adamantine.
• As written, the Super Strength Mutation doesn't do anything since named bonuses don't stack.
• Why does this class get Rage exactly as a Barbarian? Is that really necessary?
• Clap of Thunder should be keyed off Uncontrollable Titan levels, not total levels.
• I can't think of percentages being used outside of cover and concealment and such, so I'd come up with some flat or dice value for Feeding the Beast.
• The Capstone basically makes the character into the Green Scar Hulk?

And done!

Edit:

Ok, I lied; I'm not done.

Here's a rundown for the Alchemical Hunter!


Fluff

• Should be "An Alchemist" and not "A Alchemist".
• Should be "takes it" and not "take it".
• Should be "favored terrain" and not "favor terrain".

That's it for the grammar bit.

• First thing I want to ask is, why is this class meant for entry by straight alchemist and then give some aspects of the ranger class? Why not just make it a class that assumes a Alchemist 3/Ranger 3 entry and then progresses/combines features from both sides?
• Second thing I'll say is...dead levels. Dead levels are a bad thing when the class isn't granting something amazing to make up for it (like the Eldritch Knight or Mystic Theurge do). You need to add more meat to the bones of this class.
• Third, Lord of the Hunt is kind of lame as a capstone ability, no offense.

Ok, now I'm done.

[Milo v3]

I didn't have much inspiration for Roughmech (Having seen only two episodes), so I've changed it to Gambit, and in an hour I've done more for it than I did for Roughmech.

You missed a good decade my friend. I grew up on the animated series for Spider-man, X-men, The Hulk, Fantastic Four, Silver Surfer (never saw that one though), Batman, Superman, Wild Cats, and the Tick.

And Reboot. Man did I love Reboot.

Grammar shall be fixed!

1.First you have a point, I was thinking starting as alchemist but if I go for the dual progression it might be better. Though I'll need to make some new goodies to put in place of the empty gaps as well as the other errors.

2.Dead levels! So true! I forgot that I'd have gaps and thought maybe toss bombs in to fill them. I'll try to think of something to fill the voids

3. I agree, I couldnt think of a good capstone. I thought maybe add the Grand Discovery there as well or another option.

Well look at it now, how does it look?

Indeed, Reboot was like Tron for kids and with a legit plot line.

It was the era of Super Heroes! Also Silver Surfer was my original idea or a Herald of Galactus prestige class for my entry. I was a big Silver Surfer fan.

Reboot was the BEST. There was also Transformers: beastwars, which I really liked.

For some reason, every time a see a large amount of the color purple I always think "Warning, Incoming Game".

Oh, I meant that more for Wolf and Milo because they were using actual comic panels lifted from actual comic books or teaser art.

Well, it's that time of the month again folks! The last week is here and that means time for the sneak peak at next month's theme!
