Psionics.  Its status as an add on caused innumerable problems, both among players and in development.

The Polymorph changes.  What a fustercluck of layered rules changes.   That wouldn't have been necessary if they had actually listened to the feedback about polymorph from Min/Maxers in the first place.  But not having to refer to at least four books to use one spell would have been nice.

Best of luck.  That's just nuts.

A portable hole, a tower shield and a butler walk into a dungeon.

It works "As Concealing Amorpha", which explicitly says you're still visible. So you're still targetable, but they have a 50% miss chance. It's basically the psionic version of Blink.
Displacement is the 50% spell.  Same ball of wax, except True Seeing does bubkis against GCA.   
Blocks line of sight but not line of effect.  Eat the 50% miss chance and whack em with a stick.  Or run for a minute, the duration is trivial at 1r/level.  Or Negate Psionics/ Dispel Magic.  Or buy a Displacer Beast and let them annoy each other to oblivion.

Nearly everyone turns into a Conservative at some point or they die trying. :p
Don't worry, a cure for senility isn't that far off.  :smirk

1: I don't think your average ship weighs under 100 lbs.  Though a Folding Boat is 4 lbs.  Arguably even in ship form, thanks to no other mentions of weight.  A castle sally port on the other hand would qualify and take plenty of abuse.

D&D 3.5 and Pathfinder / Re: What is 1 character level (or 1 hit die) worth?
« on: September 23, 2018, 01:44:53 PM »
The problem isn't having an exact value for a HD, its that WotC eventually decided several were worth 1, when all HD are in fact, worth less than 1.  Would you ever play a character that had no special abilities at all?  The best monster HD, the dragon, is roughly tied with the Warblade.  The Warblade gets all kinds benefits with every level, the Dragon gets to... talk down to kobolds.  Its like they thought Warrior was a perfectly cromulent class and made clones of it. 
With the Fighter, odd levels have no bonus, each one taken diluting the final value of the overall class.  Judging by the paucity of builds that go past Fighter 6, the cumulative value of pure HD on the Fighter must be low enough that Fighter 7 has no value, and its only the third time a level has no feat.  Which implies, mathmagically, the value of a Fighter HD, one of the better ones, is only worth about .3!

But skill points, saves and BAB aren't really part of hit die.  They're part of the class, part of a bundle associated with hit die.  Which makes the question even more convoluted.

I have less idea where I'm going with this than I do with where you were going with the question.   So, put me down for HD are always worth less than 1 level.

If the Ork kin Man visited less, you'd have all the cock-roaches you'd ever need!  Maybe some trained antz.

The 4E Avenger rolled best of  2d20 for attack rolls, it was generally thought of as analogous to a +4 in guides.  I didn't pay attention to the math then, but it does further support your arithmetic.   :cheers

Sounds dreamy! 

I had a violent sneezing fit on Saturday.  Wrenched the hell out of my neck and back.  Bad enough to have more trouble sleeping than usual.  Still hurts like a Mothra-fracker. 

From sneezing.

At least it actually does something.  That thing is incredibly stupid, but it does do it!
