Homebrew DesignRoll up your sleeves and get working: there's lots of homebrewin' to be done! Post your custom creation for critiques or review those of your peers.
I don't know, but if there isn't. I nominate this thread. Which would require me to post some real homebrew, but I am sure I can hammer some horrendous thing out if necessary.
I know some people like Fax are reduced to putting everything on an external website, but wouldn't it make it simpler to have it all listed in one spot...? I've got three homebrew threads up, and am working on a fourth... and my sig just can't hold 6 characters and all the homebrew at the same time.

I know what you mean. I've got a base class and two PrCs already posted, with two more in the works. Add to that I have a weapon or two in threads out there, plus a race and handful of spells I'll be adding soon, and my sig just won't manage.
But I have an IdeaTM.
What if you(we, I, they?) made a thread much like another thread I made? The Where in the Playground are You? thread (linked in my sig below) is formatted so that the first post contains all the added/updated information. (Although in the case of Homebrews and such, it would need the first several posts.) I do believe a thread such this was running earlier (and is still linked at the top of the homebrew forum, but I believe that many of the links have gond dead or missing.
If you are seriously wanting to revive the concept, I be more than happy to pitch a proposal for a massive Homebrew Index thread. I would even maintain it regularly. Because I'm weird like that.

Try clicking on the number on the top right of each post.
Notice it gives you a page with JUST that post?
Now, link that in your signature. Done; you don't have to worry about signature lengths because you've put all of your homebrew stuff in one post, and that's the only link in your homebrew signature.
I can still fit all of my stuff in my signature for now, but once my next project comes out, I'll need to use something similar myself. Though my next project kinda merits its own webpage, truth be told.
My only current project, and honestly my first real one: The Mystic Hand [Base Class]: Unarmed Fighter whose strong beliefs call his ki to action almost instinctively.
Feedback of any sort is welcomed, being new at this I could use all the pointing in the right direction I can get. I'm also currently looking for a game to test this preliminary version of the class in, heh.
Anatomical Juggernaut Template(BARELY BEGUN CONSTRUCTION) - People kept telling me that there should be a way to have them combine into a single creature. While I thought that that was a little too "Power Rangers" for my taste, I did eventually get an idea for how I could maybe do it in a way that I could live with. It will take LOTS of work.
Dark Heart: Literally pulsing with negative energy these repair the undead near them, and damage the living.
Empty Skin: Macabre, but not always aggressive. Freak your characters/players out without a single die rolled... Intelligent servants for the necromancer just starting to come into his true power.
Fat Glob: Slow, weak, but LOTS of HD, and a fatigue effect if it hits.
Floating Lungs: Based around the Shout spell. Glass-cannons that can break a lot of glass.
Gut Snake: Undead intestines that fight with constriction, filth, and odor. Find some comments HERE.

Spoiler
22:25 <AuraHorse >isn't there a prestige class in 3.5 that uses skins as a source of power?
22:25 <AuraHorse >wonder if synergy applications are there
22:25 <Draco_Dei >Acolyte of the Skin maybe?
22:26 <AuraHorse >yeah
22:26 <Draco_Dei >I think that replaces your skin with a demon, but...
22:26 <Draco_Dei >There might have been something else for wearing the skins of people you killed.
22:27 <DanielDraco >There's a Tome class that does that
22:27 <Draco_Dei >Acolyte of the skin could MAYBE animate his old skin, but there wouldn't be much connection since... well, the template isn't very combative, and acolyte of the skin IS very combative.
22:27 <Draco_Dei >So... want to start with the Empty Skins?
22:27 <DanielDraco >there's also an undead somewhere in a book that is just a skin
22:27 <DanielDraco >I think
22:27 <Draco_Dei >Haven't heard of that.
22:28 <AuraHorse >hmmm
22:28 <Draco_Dei >Seen a homebrewed monster that was a flying swarm of shredded skin...
22:28 <AuraHorse >undead skin monster thread: http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=212345
22:29 <AuraHorse >looks like homebrew
22:29 <AuraHorse >sure, I'll look at the empty skins
22:29 <AuraHorse >Skin Kite from Libris Mortis maybe
22:29 <AuraHorse >is that the monster?
22:29 <DanielDraco >possibly
22:29 <DanielDraco >Libris Mortis sounds right
22:30 <Draco_Dei >http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=44544
22:30 <AuraHorse >ha, same forum
22:30 <DanielDraco >Yeah, I think the image in my head was a combination of that concept and the Raiment image
22:30 <AuraHorse >different thread
22:32 <HockeyCid >Forsaken Shell is definitely the one you are looking for
22:32 <HockeyCid >cast off skin, etc.
22:32 <AuraHorse >question:
22:32 <DanielDraco >HockeyCid: Alright, there's a whole assload of style/spell combinations available that I'd have to look at, and I really don't feel like doing that...ever
22:32 <AuraHorse >DanielDraco: could the skin of a tattooed monk be used and could it retain those class abilities?
22:32 <DanielDraco >But I will say that the problem still exists that they have precisely one useful ability from level 1 to 2
22:33 <DanielDraco >AuraHorse: RAW? No
22:33 <HockeyCid >Understood on the list, the latter bit is what I wanted to rectify
22:33 <HockeyCid >So even with a whole group of Performance Tricks at level 1, it's not enough?
22:34 <DanielDraco >A whole group? I didn't see that...rereading
22:34 <AuraHorse >I mean after being crafted by the taxidermist
22:34 <AuraHorse >and after using the create undead spell, etc
22:34 <HockeyCid >That is the change from before. It gets all the Performance Tricks given by one style of performance
22:35 <HockeyCid >It obviously favors some over others by the current list, but that's not an unfixable problem
22:35 <DanielDraco >Yeah, you should certainly fix that problem. Like, choosing Singing gives it the vast majority from the getgo.
22:35 <DanielDraco >I'd just make it simpler and let them pick 2 or 3 at the start.
22:35 <Draco_Dei >AuraHorse: As it stands, no. But if I knew Tattooed Monk I might write up the rules for it, and I think a good GM could figure them out if he had the rules for both in front of him.
22:35 <AuraHorse >and: if you can't use a tattooed monk's skin, could you apply the Spellstitched Template?
22:36 <HockeyCid >I found a photo of the Forsaken Shell. It's not pretty
22:36 <Draco_Dei >You could, of course, apply the spell-stitched Template. Might be hard on a furry creature's pelt since the fast healing means you would have to keep re-shaving it to get at the skin itself to tattoo it, but...
22:36 <DanielDraco >And yes, Forsaken Shell is /exactly/ what I was thinking of, thank you. Though I was still confusing its pose with the Raiment's
22:36 <HockeyCid >cool
22:37 <AuraHorse >I would not regenerate hair: hair is not alive
22:37 <AuraHorse >in the first place
22:37 <DanielDraco >Bewilder is OP even for VH. Even for Tome.
22:37 <AuraHorse >neither is hair undead
22:37 <Draco_Dei >Of course, as a GM I might say you could do the tattooing before the killing, or maybe between the killing and the tanning.
22:37 <HockeyCid >I am inclined to agree. I probably should go over all of those
22:37 <HockeyCid >Some I copy-pasted without really looking
22:38 <Draco_Dei >Err... no, this thing definitely regrows hair as part of its fast healing. Otherwise it would loose half the "always in perfect condition/appearance" point.
22:38 <HockeyCid >afk for a while
22:38 <AuraHorse >that's weird lol
22:38 <AuraHorse >would make a great toupee for an evil person
22:38 <AuraHorse >like Lex Luthor
22:39 <Draco_Dei >Well, you have to taxidermy the WHOLE creature, so... he would literally be wearing a small animal on his head.
22:39 <AuraHorse >that's hot
22:40 <Draco_Dei >Deflated, and maybe with the head and limbs folded under, but still the whole thing.
22:40 <AuraHorse >yeah, but that furry animal looks pretty damn good
22:40 <AuraHorse >always perfect appearance
22:41 <Draco_Dei >Well, "perfect" means slightly different things for a small animal than for a toupee.
22:41 <AuraHorse >my mistake
22:42 <Draco_Dei >I mean you could totally do that with a villain who is weird, or really anal about his bald-spot (as in any minion that mentions it even obliquely gets quietly hauled off to be tortured to death).
22:44 <Draco_Dei >Have you read the whole thing? If so, do you have more to say, or shall we move on to another organ?
Non-Organ Templates: Mummy: Because I believe that almost all undead should be templates. First post of a thread that will hopefully be dedicated to that concept.
Half-Warsong Dragon: Sonic-based. Created in 10 minutes and it shows, but should be usable.
Eripmav: This is a "Low-Powered Non-Evil Vampire". Sounds pretty boring right? Nope! It has a lot of interesting quirks to it, and replaces all that over-done angst with something that encourages roleplay with random NPCs and maybe even between party members.
Miscellaneous Creatures:
But first an off-site link to something for making making monsters easier. A bit more detailed than the other one I think.
And here is a helpful spreadsheet for PF (and thus somewhat for 3.0/3.5) for reasonable ranges for monsters of a given CR.
Chicken Golem: Created by the servants of Cluckzor and/or She-Who-Clucks, these golems are created by gluing live chickens together. They are almost as inefficient as they sound as far as combat potential per hit-die, but hey, at least they are fairly cheap!
Fractal Bear: A bear with the upper torsos of smaller bears for fore-limbs, each of which have the same thing going on. Comment HERE.
Subra: Lower CR example creature for The Demented One's Kaleidoscopic Dream discipline.
Tenacious Badger and Wolverine: Immortal Fortitude stance added basically... just a sketch (like a template), rather than full stat-blocks.
Disco Dragons: Avatars of Funk, arch-foes of Beige Dragons. Groovin'est dragons ever to grace the planes with their bodacity. Comments may be found and made HERE.
Warp Hog: Like a wart hog, but after it hits something it instantaneously Dimension Doors away to do it again.
Castor and Pollux: A pair of VERY well equipped wing dragons working as a border patrol. Winner of the First Alchemyprime Monstrous Contest. Trophy is in a spoiler near the end of this post .
True Fairy Dragon: Fairy Dragons done as True Dragons, with 12 age categories and so on. Currently a work in progress.
Masooze: Intelligent Oozes that are specifically designed to give spa treatments. Another one of my pun creatures.
Devotion Bower: Firmly rooted but with mobile limbs and launchable thorns, these servants of Allurehn grant refuge to star-crossed lovers (of the True rather than Flighty kind) in an extra-dimensional space inside themselves. Comment HERE. Example 6 HD version with 2 4th level commoners inside HERE.
Pez-Ants: Suggestion I came up with to be commoners of Candyland.
Fiend Fungus: BMCM (Bio-Magical Counter-Measures) for evil. No direct threat. Just an Evil Alignment and lots of HD.
Soda Vulture: A scavenging elemental based on a pun on the term "Sotto Voce" (meaning "Under the Breath").
Acorn Folly: A creature with a unique weakness. Meant to be defeated more via good tactical flexibility (AKA willingness to actually retreat the first time it is encountered) and research than just wailing on it. Should only be used once against any group of players EVER, and never as a random encounter. Ideally should have an entire adventure built around defeating it.
Mepholk: Snuggly anthropomorphic skunks... a SMALL spin-off of my most in-depth creation ever (the wereskunks). Comment HERE. Keld Denar was kind enough to do a 32 point optimized character HERE.
Wing Dragons: Masters of aerial speed and skill Locked thread Commentary HERE. PM me to comment now. One of my most detailed works. For specific examples see Castor and Pollux. Oslecamo did a racial progression class HERE, in his thread for racial progression classes.
Lord of Rest :(discussion thread is HERE.) Animated beds of unequaled comfort.
Beige Dragon: Based on an idea in a single panel comic by Richard Burlew. Avatars of Mediocracy and Squareness. Features a Mundane Presence and a Breathweapon of Pure Elemental Ennui.
Martyr Flitter: A gift from the Heavens that can be used to store up positive energy to be released (by killing it) to heal the living and damage the undead.
M.I.R.V. Griffon: A Griffon that can split into smaller ones as it dives... a joke that should be well enough executed that your players will be challenged despite the underlying pun.
Giraffe-a-pump: A creature both for completists(sp) (HOW is there a massive city in the center of the barren desert???) and those who like a little bit of innocence/cuteness in the mix.
Discipline: Falling Anvil: Based on the combat techniques of Bugs Bunny, The Three Stooges, and the Road Runner.
Individual Maneuvers: Funky and Square Maneuvers: To round out Devoted Defender for the third axis of alignment.
Anti-Swallow Whole: Stance to leap down purple-worm's throats, without them getting a bite in, and then tunnel to from their stomach to their heart and STAB it. Also a strike that helps you get your friends out if the Purple Worm swallows them first.
Feats: (Note that feats specific to a single class or race are not listed here.) Diving Evasion: Hit the deck to get out of the way of both blades and fireballs.
Sniper's Patience: Why waste an arrow if you are just going to miss?
Gemini Strike: For hit and run flanking and other such synchronized attacks.
Blocker: Increases your ability to screen the squishy types. Good by itself, even better with the Dwarven Defender PrC.
Brawn over Brain (AKA Physical Training Focus): For Dumb As A Post Monks, Rogues, Fighters, and Barbarians, who still are highly athletic. (Now outdated since I decided this should be a trait, rather than a feat).
Ignore Opponent: So the (Tucker's) kobold with no class levels can't cause you to count as flanked for the 5th level kobold rogue.
Traits: Careful Reader: You can read scrolls more easily... it just takes you longer.
"Special Snowflake Christmas Trees": Making variations in magic item load-outs more varied via various tweaks to character classes and the items themselves.
Setting Aspects: Were-world: What better way of keeping rodenthropy and actual lycanthopy from EVER becoming epidemics than by inoculating EVERYBODY with some strain of theranthropy?
Invocations: Split Blast: Trade power for multi-targeting with this blast shape invocation... most useful in combination with eldritch essence invocations that produce an effect in addition to the initial damage. Also includes a rather interesting NPC who uses this blast shape to aid him in his work as a rat-catcher.
Hasten Undeath/Deathlessness: Causes a corpse that would already animate to do so faster. Based on Order of the Stick #848, with name for first one by archaeo.
Cure Minor Wounds, Mass: Because I like to see patterns extended, and it is great for saving lives on a battle-field.
Endure Environment, Greater/Lesser: Endure Elements duration, that actually gives resistance to energy damage (including a small amount of positive/negative energy resistance if you want that instead). Very versatile spells, but higher level and the actual amounts of the resistances aren't very large by comparison.
Enhance Poison: Keeps poisons and ravages relevant at higher levels by giving them spell resistance against detection/resisting/curing, higher DCs, and other benefits.
Air Swim: Great for tritons, and not half-bad for everyone else. "Little Brother" to Air Walk.
Raise Legion: Multi-target version of Raise Dead.
Q-Ray Vision: Detect illusions by blocking out reality.
Control Magic: Why destroy something when you can steal it instead?
Inoculation equivalents: Like it says on the thread title "An Ounce of Prevention is worth a Pound of Cure". The higher levels of this will can allow a few casters to halt the spread non-magical plagues dead, or protect a group from even Mummy Rot and Devil Chills.
Confuse Languages: Temporary scramble your ability to communicate so as to prevent language dependent effects from working on you. Comes in Personal, Single Target, and Mass versions, plus a "Battle Code" version that still lets team-mates communicate. Single Target and Mass versions also useful on enemies.
True Haste: Combines the best (not most powerful... best) aspects of the 3.0 and 3.5 versions of Haste, while hopefully retaining the same power level as the 3.5 version.
Weapon Enhancements: Boon: Usually not a boon to its WIELDER, this is sorta the opposite of Bane. Mostly discussion point, nothing finalized.
Flickering: Substitutes a reflex save by the target for each to-hit roll by the wielder. (DC based on attack bonus of strike).
Mole: For fighting with big slashing and bludgeoning weapons in tight spaces and other creative uses. Most of weapon has an earth elemental's "Stone Swim" ability.
Specific Weapons: Club of the Moron: Not really very useful for dealing hit-point damage. Somewhat useful for dealing wisdom damage. Very useful for beating yourself over the head to make your falling anvil maneuvers more useful.
Halitosis-berd: Gains effectiveness the worse the wielder's breath is.
Misc. Magic Items: Circlet of Mindless Mind: Making mindless undead and deathless a tad less useless. (The item form of Retain Post-Mortal Servant).
Gloves of the Mole: For those who think flight is for the birds and want to get closer to earth.
Cursed Teas: Constant Commentary, Leech-y Nut, Irish Breakfast Tea, Spearmint Surprise, Cinnamon Beat-Stick, Squirrel Gray, 'Rooibos Vanilla, Darkjeeling, English Break-fist, Oolooooooong, Charomile and many more.
Demon's Belt: Continuous item of Dimensional Anchor for when you are off-plane and don't want to get Banished/Dismissed, or want to be prepared for prismatic effects.
Master's and Grandmaster's Wizards Chess Sets: Random_Person made a chessboard whose pieces enlarge and animate to fight, I created these more powerful version with tweaked rules. If you want to see his version, view the whole thread, then look at the first post.
Wizards Xiangqi Set: After doing the above, I thought I might expand it to at least one non-Western version of Chess.
Gummy Sphere: Entertainment item, allow eater to blow bubbles out of their ears. No real combat applications that I can see. Part of a larger thread of candies started by someone else..
Cards: To add to a Deck of Many Things. Mix, match, create your own temptation for your players.
Mundane Items: Unusual Poisons: Poisons that cause everything from fear to excessive ear-wax (which affects listen checks). Also my old Hunter's Friend (AKA "Mage Bane") and derivative ideas. Int damage and fast recovery allows low cost without upsetting game balance.
Base Classes: Grace-gift: For those who honestly would rather buff their allies rather than take offensive action. Share out your impressive defenses with your allies, and (once you get a few levels in) put the pain on anyone who tries to get past you to them with your AoOs.
World's Simplest Monk Fix: Exactly what it says on the tin. Note that "simplest" does not always mean "best".
Guardian of Minds: NPC class. What the Adept is to the Sorcerer this is to the Paladin. ((Note: Moral Guardian should be all Su, but I can't edit it because the thread is locked.))
Lesser Martialist: An attempt at a tier 6 ToB class. Don't know if I hit Tier 6, but it should, at the very least, be weaker than any of the published martial initiators.
Prestige Classes: Coward's-Strike Warlock: Warlock specific version of my Artillery Mage. Same deal: Invisible familiar sees them, you shoot them without coming out from behind cover.
Leap Dragoon: Based on Freya Crescent from Final Fantasy IX. Leaps to other planes to gain a moment to focus, then returns with re-doubled momentum. Originally a contest entry it now resides in the first two posts (I have to split it, due to size) of its own thread. As for the contest my entry is first tentatively mentioned in the chat thread HERE. The part of the discussion thread relevant to that overall contest starts HERE.
True Master of Nine: Because the one in Tome of Battle: Book of Nine Swords really works out to be more like "Master of Six".
Artillery Mage: Familiar acts as your spotter, you do indirect fire.
Miasma-mancer PrC: Comment HERE. Specialists in Conjurations related to the elemental plane of smoke.
Deity: Cluckzor: Tragically brain-damaged god of chickens, tricked into Evil by the same being that put the point of a pick into his brain, and manipulated by his double-thinking clergy into not actually being Evil at all really... his clerics sometimes make Chicken Golems patterned after the construction of his personal dwelling.
To Do list
(If something sounds especially good, ask via PM... I might make it sooner,rather than later).
Bladders (Oooo... this is going to be SUCH a pain...)
Hive Mind Fey Squirrels
Verve Stealer Ooze (XP drain...NOT LEVEL DRAIN!)
Humorous but perfectly logical (IE it would make SENSE in a serious campaign, even though it is funny) Chaotic Evil Fiend
Complete some of the things I left incomplete (some aren't really ever meant to be "complete" in the usual sense, since the fluff is so obvious it isn't fully worth writing).
1) Pour a small amount of gold dust in your left ear
2) Build a tiny miniature tavern under your right foot
3) All the lice are killed by an adventuring party made up of an earwig wizard, a silverfish rouge, a ladybug fighter and a weevil cleric.

This isn't everything I've done, but it is everything I'm proud of. This isn't to say they won't change, but I'm happy with them as they stand. Anything I've done that's not on here will either rot in the depths of my memory or be updated and added in the future.
Current Projects:
--[Class - Prestige] The Totem Master
.....A nature-based character that calls upon the powers of the natural creatures of the world to aid him as he needs. Without all that bothersome wild shaping nonsense.
--[Class - Prestige] The Fear Binder
.....A spellcaster who learns ways to scare the bajeebers out of just about anything.
Completed Projects: --[Class - Base] The Summoner
.....A class dedicated to the summoning forth of various creatures to aid you in your adventures. Without resorting to any card game/video game likenesses or rip-offs. --[Class - Prestige] The Adroit Blade
.....A deft swordsman (Or axeman, or any other slashing-type weapon...man. Or woman for that matter.) that relies on misdirection to leave his foe wide open to his (or her) deadly strikes. --[Class - Prestige] The Juggernaut
.....Designed specifically for those classes that love their heavy armor, this monstrosity of a warrior just shrugs off the damage as he charges into battle. --[Class - Prestige] The Smasher
.....Somewhat the opposite of the Adroit Blade. The Smasher goes into a battle to deal as much damage as physically possible, knocking his foes around the room, even if he might miss on occasion. --[Class - Prestige] The Unerring Sniper
.....Assassins? Pfft! The unerring sniper can kill you from a quarter-mile away. Admittedly it takes a little patience, but that's what sniping is all about. Also makes ranged combat a little more interesting overall.
Old Projects that I've never posted, but intend to when I can find my original work:
--[Creature] Skitters
.....A mostly harmless, but highly territorial, magical beast. Dwells underground, and blends in with natural rock. Not very dangerous, but ridiculously difficult to kill. The inpirational concept? Cross between a cockroach and a termite, but eats rock instead of wood. Dwarves hate 'em!
--[Spell(s)] Fodoric's 'Spells to Annoy By'
.....A collection of spells that I created based of a much loved wizard or mine, who endeared himself for being obnoxious but amusing at the same time.

Okay, ladies and gentlemen. I've been looking back and realizing some of my PrC's are quite powerful and possibly overpowered. So the ones that are blanked out are the ones that are being reviewed and retooled. So if you want them back just sit back and wait and they'll be done before... too long.

78% of DM's started their first campaign in a tavern.
If you're one of the 22% that didn't, copy and paste this into your signature.
I finally remembered this account after two years. If I begin to get nostalgic, just snap me out of it. Don't worry, I don't expect you to remember me.
Edit: I was wondering whether this would surface again. Apparently a lot of people have been using this... Maybe a sticky would be in order, for ease of access.
