Nytemare's PHB Rewrites: Phase 1 is almost complete!
« on: February 18, 2011, 12:18:15 AM »
I need to finish the skills section, but the first wave of rewrites is mostly complete. I would appreciate it very much if everyone interested in a balanced 3.5 took a look at all the homebrew threads starting with "Nytemare's PHB Rewrites" and made your final comments before I start compiling those sections into the pdf. The spell failure thread should be ignored, as I closed it when spell failure proved to be nonviable.


Secondly, Once you have reviewed them, I need to know what else you think is wrong with 3.5 currently. I'm not rewriting tons of non-core content, so broken spells will stay broken unless the fix can be applied via a rule in the spell schools. Point me towards tier 3 balanced rewrites of the core classes if you know of any.

I will be on most of tomorrow to discuss the future of T3:Edition (working title).

I thank you all in advance for your help on this project.  :)

Does ... does that mean I should pimp my dirty handbook fixes? :hide

An interesting read, nice to see a civil discussion
The point of Spell Resistance is to make it harder to get buffed.

I'm well aware of the dirty handbook fixes  ;) In fact, with your permission I'd like to copy that entire thing to the back of the pdf, as a warning to new DMs.

No comment on my comments on your spell schools stuff?
The mind transcends the body.
It's also a little cold because of that.
Please get it a blanket.

I wish I could read your mind,
I can barely read mine.

"Just what do you think the moon up in the sky is? Everyone sees that big, round shiny thing and thinks there must be something round up there, right? That's just silly. The truth is much more awesome than that. You can almost never see the real Moon, and its appearance is death to humans. You can only see the Moon when it's reflected in things. And the things it reflects in, like water or glass, can all be broken, right? Since the moon you see in the sky is just being reflected in the heavens, if you tear open the heavens it's easy to break it~"

Could you either post links to the various sections of your proposed revisions, or post a google doc of them all?  I'm curious to go through them when I have the time, but it'd probably be best to be able to see them all at once to see how they hang together.  As it is now I have to hunt through the homebrew section, which I don't frequent, and then wonder if I've found all of your rewrite threads or missed one.
