As you hew the line with respect to conformity to major systems and uniformity of play in general, also be certain the game is mastered by you and not by your players. Within the broad parameters given in the Advanced Dungeons & Dragons volumes, you are creator and final arbiter. By ordering things as they should be, the game as a whole first, your campaign next, and your participants thereafter, you will be playing Advanced Dungeons & Dragons as it was meant to be. May you find as much pleasure in doing so as the rest of us do!
My Homebrewed Material Prestige Classes (PrCs) Duelist PrC [3.5] - An attempt to make an outdated Prestige Class usable without using Tome of Battle mechanics. Also includes the Sniper's Precision feat for ranged characters with precision damage. Lightning Blade [3.5] - Because the first strike is often the last. Also includes the first staggered PrC.
Always be open to the suggestions of others. That doesn't mean you have to implement them, but you should at least take them into consideration.
Always, always, always use a spelling checker and make sure your sentences make sense! If someone who's reading your homebrew rolls poorly on their Decipher Script, they may think the ability does something completely different from your intent. If you don't have access to a spellchecker or English isn't one of your strong points, just try your hardest, even if it means proofreading three or four times before you post homebrew.
Fluff isn't strictly necessary, but it's difficult to suggest changes or even give a critique of what's there without it. Balance follows intent just as form follows function.
In addition to the above warning about spelling and grammar, watch your commas. A simple comma splice can completely change the meaning of a statement.

Reason: Martial Schools
I've decided to recreate my Homebrewer's Extended Signature by separating out and posting only the creations I believe are my best, just a small portion of the total.
Races/Templates Humarin Shells and Bloodborn [TO BE REPOSTED WITH MORE! The Blackborn, better description of the ritual, physical description, and cultural background!]

Base Classes The Tattooed Monk: Re-envisioned as a base class. Effectively completed, as no more updates shall be made

My (so far rather insignificant) collection of homebrew:
Base Classes Templar - Zealous champion of his god. Time Warrior - Warrior harnessing the power of time. Cat Warrior - Warrior emulating the perfect animal.
Prestige Classes Deathlord - Necromancer who's friends with the undead. Hammer Brother - Hammer-specialized warrior. Temporal Assassin - Stealthy murderer wielding temporal power (Time Warrior/Rogue PrC).
Not intending to necro, but it seem that now I am starting to need this as well.
Will probably add alot with time.
My Homebrew:
Races/Template Soulless From the verge of death to immortality. Lycnos The truth behind lycanthropy. Raptember Predatorial outsider (fae) with hypnotic stare Nezumi They will make you say "Rats!"
Base Classes Soldier Defensive Fighting Reveler Knowledge is power. Witchblade Combine sword and sorcery. Chosen Hand of god, melee style. Netherhost share your body with an unimaginable beast from beyond.
It's probably better if everyone posted all their homebrew in here. It's one big database, and the sherrif has already acknowledged its existence and safeguarded it from deletion.
