Re: D&D 3.5 low-power; Dungeon of Strangeness 2.0
No, no! I'm in a game with Alhallor where we both play unarmed warriors who could make synchronized Flying Kicks by virtue of them both possessing the feat. I think Brakq would, perhaps, even appreciate MORE people breaking MORE things.
Let's just hope she doesn't meet the Dungeon fisher, though. (Have you noticed how canned tuna is often dolphin-free, but never explicitly mermaid-free?) At any rate, a 10' movement speed promises much thrashing uselessly about!
Why, thank you! I even made a sheet in the meantime:

Re: D&D 3.5 low-power; Dungeon of Strangeness 2.0
I've settled on a neutral jermlaine sorcerer who uses everyday magic, sitting on his floating invisible throne, loafing about with his familiars watching the things unfold while doing his part at the same time.

The same person that wrote the Reserve mage also wrote a few homebrew reserve feats to supplement. I was hoping to use a few of them. Particularly Corpswalk and Vanishing Act

Re: D&D 3.5 low-power; Dungeon of Strangeness 2.0
It's more generous with the invocations, and having access to cantrips is nice. The Dark Secret is similar to a 3/day metamagic feat or similar.
I'm debating on a Lesser Aasimar for race, and there is a Celestial Warlock Heritage that I give up the Dark Secret and gain abilities fluffed around the Angelic Heritage.
Protective Aura (Su): At 2nd level an angelic warlock radiates an aura of safety. Against attacks made or effects created by evil creatures, this ability provides a +2 deflection bonus to AC and a +2 resistance bonus on saving throws to anyone within 10 feet of you. The warlock may suppress or resume this aura as a free action. This aura can be dispelled, but the warlock can create it again as a free action on his next turn.
Smite Evil (Su): At 4th level an angelic warlock may attempt to smite evil with a normal melee attack or his eldritch blast. He adds his Charisma bonus (if any) to his attack roll and deals 1 extra point of damage per warlock level. If the angelic warlock accidentally smites a creature that is not evil, the smite has no effect. Smite evil may only be used with a melee attack or an eldritch blast that requires an attack roll and only applies to the first creature attacked. Once you have used this ability, you cannot do so again for 5 rounds.
Angelic Countenance (Su): At 6th level an angelic warlock gains the ability to shine like the sun. The warlock may shine as the daylight spell. Undead within the range of this light take 1d4 + (1/2 your warlock level rounded down) points of positive energy damage every round they stay within its range. Activating this ability is a standard action and can be turned off as a swift action.Last edited by AscarothD; 2024-03-15 at 04:07 PM.

Re: D&D 3.5 low-power; Dungeon of Strangeness 2.0
Self quoting so I can @alhallor, who wanted clarification on the fullblade (so still pending approval). The biggest thing is it effectively uses 3.0 weapon size rules, and calls out fullblade as requiring the exotic weapon feat and 2 hands for the standard medium creature, with 2d8 damage. So a large, or in this case an effectively large, can do it with 1 hand.

Re: D&D 3.5 low-power; Dungeon of Strangeness 2.0
My 2c: they don't seem very well written overall (what happens to the current undead if you animate a new one with Corpsewalk? It gets destroyed, or remains but is now uncontrolled?), and Vanishing Act seems pretty overpowered (at-will Swift Invisibility, assuming "vanishing" means becoming invisible). It could stick to providing concealment for instance.
With that said, I love the idea of adding new Reserve feats."Even gods must learn to control their tempers, lest they set a bad example."

Re: D&D 3.5 low-power; Dungeon of Strangeness 2.0
Ugh, the +2 LA is really killing me, not for power but because it makes it impossible to go into Beast Heart Adept until ECL 8. So before that I'll be taking two levels of Archivist, because An Eidetic Dogchivist is just too good to pass on.
But, i really have to ask: Would you be open to Oslecamo's Blink dog's progression? It is two levels, loses +4 to Dex and handles The blink and the Dimension Door as Spell-Like abilities, which is weaker than than (Su) and limits them to 4/HD per day each. I still think that they should be either swift or immediate actions, free actions are wrong.
Spoiler: Blink dogBlink Dog
Hit Die: d10
Level BAB Fort Ref Will Features
1 +1 +2 +2 +0 Dog body, Blink, +1 Dex, +1 Wis, Scent
2 +2 +3 +3 +0 Dimension Door, Dimensional Agility, +1 Dex, +1 Wis
Skills: 4+Int mod. Class skills are A Blinkdogs class skills are Balance, Hide, Listen, Move Silently, Sense Motive, Spot, Survival, and Swim.
Proficiencies: A blinkdog is proficient with its own natural weapons.
Features
Dog Body:The Blink dog loses all other racial bonuses, and gains magical beast traits(basically darkvision 60 foot and low light vision). It is a medium sized magical beast with base speed 40 foot, and a natural weapon bite attack dealing 1d6+1,5 Str modifier damage. Blink dogs have no limbs capable of fine manipulation.
A blink dog also gains a natural armor bonus equal to his Con modifier.
Blink: Blink dogs have the ability to travel to and from the ethereal plane for brief bursts of time, because of this blink dogs often appear to be winking in and out of existence. A blink dog can use blink as a spell like ability 4/day for each HD it possesses. Using this ability requires a move action. When a Blinkdog reaches 5 HD he can use this ability as a free action. The caster level for this effect is the blinkdog’s HD
Ability Increase: A blink dog gains +1 to Dex at 1st level, +1 to Dex at 2nd level, +1 to Wis at 1st and second level, for a total of +2 Dex and +2 Wis at second level.
Scent: As the SRD ability.
Dimension Door: Blink dogs are masters of dimensional movement and can leap from one point to another in the blink of an eye. At 2nd level the blink dog can use Dimension Door as a spell-like ability 4/day for each HD it possesses, except that the range is equal to the Blink Dog's base speed. Using this ability requires a move action. At 8 HD this ability can be used as a free action, but only 1/round.
Dimensional Agility: At 2nd level the Blink Dog gains Dimensional Agility as a bonus feat.

Now that it's finally letting me post, here's Variel: a Swordsage that goes (almost) all-in on Desert Wind. Still needs fluff and mundane equipment but should otherwise be good to go.

Re: D&D 3.5 low-power; Dungeon of Strangeness 2.0
To be honest Corpsewalk seems fine. With you taking Reserve mage you have a 2 HD zombie? That's not overpowered.
Vanishing Act seems pretty strong but with it being a swift and not an immediate action I can see it working, given that you don't spam it to be invisible all the time. (Because you only use a swift action every round, yada yada...)
I haven't looked at the other reserve feats at detail if you want to take others I'll give them a closer look.
I'm okay with the angelic version, but I'm not okay with Lesser Assimar.
I'm okay with weird weapon scaling (I guess... It depends what comes of it.) Will it end up doing 6d6 damage? That's too much for this poor dungeon.
I do like it being less powerful, but I don't wanna start allowing Oslecamo or I gain a flow of requests regarding that. But I do would like to limit it as swift and immediate actions for both Blink and Dimenison Door... I can also see you're conondrum, I'd think about it a bit and come back to you.
I haven't done the math on how many levels you will gain in the dungeon, I'm pretty sure it won't be 0.

Re: D&D 3.5 low-power; Dungeon of Strangeness 2.0
Totally get it, that's a can of worms I'd not open myself.
I'd be fine If I hadn't remembered that Beast Heart Adept existed... Now I'm thorn between playing a blink dogchivist who wants to befriend an Otyugh or the guy who has a blink dog as companion.
I'll trust in our survival and go with what I have, taking either Archivist or Factotum at CL7 and 8 and then Beast Heart Adept. I'll finish the gear and send a reviewed link after work today.

Meanwhile: eleventh time the charm! I finally managed to get the formatting toolbars to load and update things with a picture. Brakq is ready for review (and to break things)!
(Also, since it came up, CE in this particular instance means not so much "look, an orphan, let's murder 'em and wear their corpse" as "if I manage to crawl close enough to it within this century, I'd so love to test the structural integrity of that architectural feature WITH A HAMMER!!" At any rate, I'm all on board with the whole Tiny Evil Rat Fey Sorcerer idea, and you almost had me with that CHA of 6, Yas!)Last edited by Metastachydium; 2024-03-18 at 11:29 AM.

Re: D&D 3.5 low-power; Dungeon of Strangeness 2.0
I think Corpsewalk needs the word "control" switched to "animate" to clarify that only one zombie can exist at a time. It is up to you if that means that a second casting is impossible or if a second casting de-animates the first. Either is fine with me, but cutting off the "I let loose a dozen uncontrolled zombies inside the enemy camp" problem from poor wording is a good idea.
You can't do a swift action while flat-footed for instance so at 1 round invisibility I cannot start most combats invisible. Except extremely well-timed ambushes.
Bee Swarm and Shattering Word, Both are damage reserve feats with an added effect. Bee swarm is a little weird, in that it doesn't do damage unless the person moves within the next round, and Shattering Word ignores hardness, so it can be used to slowly destroy locks for instance.
And possibly at higher levels taking Smoulder or Enrage. Enrage is a little poorly written as it just states they attack any creature but imply they mean nearest creature.
I did have to change my level distribution to Beguiler3/Reserve Mage 3 (Precocious Apprentice to get access at the same level as Wizard), because most of the non-direct damage Reserve Feats are 3rd level and I want utility more than damage. That does unlock Reserve Fuse, which is a bit of an increase in ability.

Fluff:
Grigor is a Human Noble of a lesser family, died at the hands of some Zhentarim Cyricists), His god Assuran allows him to come back and gifts him a token item (this is an items that will allow me to exist even after I killed one of my initial killers (although Grigor doesn't know that yet).) Grigor has been haunting his killers so far, and managed to kill one of them, but the main group of culprits are still at large.
Grigor is a consummate Noble, educated, curious, but a little snobby, loves horses more then humans. He's curious about landscape and terrain features on a grand scale, history of all sorts and knows somewhat about the nobility and is a fervent believer of the divine, even if he isn't a priest.
As Harmach he wasn't a Tyrant, he was well meaning, and reasonably good at arbitrating disputes, running day to day he left to his staff though. When Cyricist assassins came for him, he fought as good as he could, but to no avail unfortunately. Grigor knows he has changed somehow, but unsure as to the exact nature of it all, he always had a strong
religious connection to his gods of adherance, both Velsharoon and his main god Assuran, He definately feels stronger, both in physical strenght and a little more charismatic, but nothing outwardly tells him anything else yet.
Grigor also feels a nagging urge to find his killers, he knows he hates them, and wants revenge, but this nagging feeling is different, more demanding, as if he is being guided, whether by his hatred for his killers, or by his god, he isn't sure, it's just another issue he has to try to find out, reflecting to himself.
(None of his immunities are things he'd gladly try out, so trial and error will only show him these, and I will play him as if he still supposes he is "human".)

Re: D&D 3.5 low-power; Dungeon of Strangeness 2.0
Couple of feats that will never get used in a dungeon?
Yea, soooo optimized, 😆
A wizard with int 14?
Nobody wants to play a complete noob, but there has to be some character concept consistency regardless of "optimization or not".
Please let me and the Dm talk about this, instead of crying foul right from the get-go.
Also; how is a Gnome single classed lvl 6 mage with an Int of 18 at start up not optimized? (just to make a point).Last edited by Burning Spear; 2024-03-19 at 08:06 AM.

Also, a thought on Faith St. Mary's Horn of Heavens: it's a full action to do 3d8 sonic damage in a 20ft cone, with a save for half, then one round of cooldown before it can be tooted again. The main objective, really, is to have summonable tootables at-will.
If the damage of the horn feels like it would be too much, can we make a deal and change it to an invocation with which Faith can summon any type of normal instrument (only one summoned instrument at a time, and disappears if dropped) and maybe a sketchbook with drawing supplies?Last edited by Ridai; 2024-03-19 at 10:56 AM.

Re: D&D 3.5 low-power; Dungeon of Strangeness 2.0
The only reason I have not completed my app yet, is if the GM still will not allow me to play a lesser Aasimar even with being humanoid planetouched, instead of outsider, I offered to also remove the +2 Wis and my 1/day daylight spell.
I figured that it's a big enough nerf, but still gives me +2 Charisma.
It's also the main reason he would have the Celestial Heritage warlock feature. :)
Simply waiting for the GM to respond.
Did perhaps the GM say no, because I took 2 feats? Celestial Heritage and Outsider Wings?
Outsider Wings (Celestial)
( Races of Faerun, p. 167)
[General]
You have sprouted wings appropriate to your heritage, revealing the power of your supernatural bloodline.
Prerequisite: Aasimar or tiefling, and Will saves +2, base Fortitude, Celestial Bloodline or Fiendish Bloodline, Reflex,
Benefit: You gain wings (feathered if an aasimar, batlike if a tiefling), allowing you to fly at your land speed (average maneuverability). A medium or heavy load that would reduce your land speed reduces your fly speed a proportionate amount.
Added Note. Warlocks have fell flight invocation at 6th, if I wanted to gain flight through an invocation.
FELL FLIGHT
Lesser; 3rd
When you use this invocation, the powers of darkness bear you aloft as you sprout a streaming, winglike cape of shadows. You can fly at a speed equal to your land speed with good maneuverability for 24 hours.
If the wings were the reason not approving the lesser aasimar, I can simply not gain flight in general. Feats or Invocation. Does it also mean banning any other methods of flight and teleportation?Last edited by AscarothD; 2024-03-19 at 02:59 PM.

Re: D&D 3.5 low-power; Dungeon of Strangeness 2.0
Throwing in a Knight, should be very low on the power scale.

Re: D&D 3.5 low-power; Dungeon of Strangeness 2.0
Regarding the Blink Dog.
Would you be okay with capping the Blink and Dimension Door to Oslecamo levels (only be used on HD as immediate and swift actions respectively and making them Su's), getting the +4 Dex down to a +2 and just using the 4 racial HD with no adjustments?
I know it's a weird hodgepodge of changes but that feels right to me (and you can still get in some levels of Archivist that way.)
I'm okay with that. The last dungeon game just had a 6d6+strength hammer wielder that was... A little much for the game.
I'm down for the Corpsewalk changes and glad that you're not gonna spam Invisibility.
I think the other Reserve feats are fine (I didn't saw anything truly outrageous if I interpret them correctly). Letting loose a Bee swarm will be great. Be prepared for a counter in the form of "Tensers really annoying bee" though.
Yes, I think dropping the +2 wis would be fine for me. You can keep the daylight, I just think 2 +2's are a bit much without any LA or other balancing factors.
Yes, but with caveats. Don't make yourself healable by negative energy and don't build an undead army to solve problems for you. Minionmancy seems to be the death for a lot of games. If you're just fine with using dread necromancers spells and other abilities I'm fine with it.
+3 LA seems to be fitting for a Revenant, I'm not sure about the Regeneration because it basically seems that you're unkillable without a very specific setup. Even with lethal damage you're just popping up some minutes later that seems... Pretty excessive. As written it seems to powerful do you have any ideas how to balance that down and still maintaining the vision you clearly have for this guy?
I haven't thought about the setting at all, I guess you're not doing wrong with Forgotten Realms. But you won't meet any NPC's from there.
I'm pretty sure 3d8 save for half is fine.
Flight is fine, you will have a ceiling and being a flyer may make things... Interesting to say the least in certain encounters. Sorry that I was late on answering the latest bunch of questions.

I won't correspond to finished charakters, if there isn't a question attached.
Sorry for taking longer for this set of questions, I hope I could answer anything that came up. Should I missed questions, please just send them again.
