Hey guys, here's a couple files where I've updated
the skills, feats, and background feats to a 3.5 stand. didn't take too
much, mostly just editing some files from Wizards. Regardless, I'm sure
this is good stuff, so enjoy guys. Updated Skills and Feats Updated Background Stuff also, just for perusal and house rules, here's some new stuff. Some PrC revisions I use, as well as the generic classes stuff. good stuff. Generic Classes Updated PrC's comments appreciated. *S* and you're welcome.

Magus, did you do all of the New Background Feats, if
not who did? If you did is it okay if I post them on my website, for use
in my future games? I'd just like to know who did them so that I can give
credit where credit is due. -------------------- Not all that is gold, glitters. Not all who wonder

Magus, I have a problem with the Powerwise background
feat. It seems to be for non-channelers but gives them a bonus to
weavesite, which would be completely useless for them. Is there another
something that could be substituded instead, although with the bonus to
illustionary weaves, it is probably powerful enough on its
own. -------------------- Legends of Darkness Are Not Always Myths - An Ongoing

It's intended for both. It grants also a bonus on
Knowledge (Arcana), which allows non-channelers a greater knowledge about
things concerning the One Power. That, combined with the bonus against
Illusions, is enough. Channelers just get an extra bonus, in the form of
the bonus to Weavesight. It's good for non-channelers, great for
channelers themselves. -------------------- Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand this rant's

I understand that these are things that you use in
your own game and have no intention of changing them. Don't blame you, I
never change what I do based on what someone tells me. But it really seems
like Twin Sword Style is overpowered. It is two points higher than Two
Weapon Defense which has prereqs, and has the added ability of treating
all one handed swords as light weapons. I use a Twin Sword Style feat in
my games, which basically allows you to pick a single one handed sword and
count it as a light weapon for purposes of two weapon fighting. If they
want the defense from it then I let them go through and get the Two Weapon
Defense. -------------------- Not all that is gold, glitters. Not all who wonder

Don't blame me. As the background stuff is based off
of Forgotten Realms, I simply went and took theirs. And it's only one
point better anyway, Sharn, and you can only use it against 1 person. Two
Weapon Defense gives you an overall +1 against any opponent. Thus, with
both Twin Sword Style and Two-Weapon Defense, you can choose 1 person to
get a +2 shield bonus, and get a +1 versus everyone else. Besides, background feats are uniformly more powerful than standard feats. The problem is that they're limited by what background you got. At most, each background mostly has 5 feats to choose from. You have to devote ranks to Know (Local) to get access to more. Like i said. I wasn't going for MY revision. What I was doing was giving the OFFICIAL revisions. -------------------- Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand this rant's

Official? ![]() I guess I understand better by you saying that it could be used by both channelers and non-channelers. Then my comment is this, I think that it is a bit powerful giving all three of those things to a character in a background feat. For instance, most backgrounds give you a +2 to two skills - maybe make it either/or? Like always knowledge (arcana) but either bonus' against illusion or weavesite bonus'? I'm looking at this from the game balancing perspective - I definately have a player who would take the Tar Valoner background to get that feat as a Wilder male channeler if I didn't let him. Which bring me to my next point, the weavesite bonus; doesn't that seem like that can only be for female characters; as male characters certainly would never have seen saidan yielded in Tar Valon, me thinks. Just suggesions to make the feat a bit more reflective of the Wheel of Time and balanced with the other background feats offered...as always, feel free to disregard. ![]() -------------------- Legends of Darkness Are Not Always Myths - An Ongoing

actually, no. most background feats grant +2 to three
skills. Or +2 to a skill and +2 to a save. Or some off-the-wall ability.

The weavesight would probably apply to men anyway
because they grew up around enough channelers that even without actually
seeing it done they have an intuitive sense about what they're doing. The
threads are weaved the same way, and overheard conversations here and
there can deffinitely add up when you're doing it yourself.

disagree, axel... According to everyone who's commented on the differences between men channelling and women channelling men and women dont do *anything* the same. even the same weave-effect is created with a different pattern of threads for men compared to women, and with some things they dont even share as much as men and trollocs share DNA. example... how would a man, hearing for example a woman describe how she makes a gateway to travel "creating a similarity" and equate that with the way men make a gateway...which is completely different. |

True, when Rand describes how he makes a Gateway,
Egwene shutters at the thought. If she were to try to do it like that it
would be disasterous. -------------------- Not all that is gold, glitters. Not all who wonder

That's not what I meant. The fundamentals don't
change. By hearing the idea of "threads" and of the 5 affinities a man
would have some idea what he's doing. He knows what they are and he knows
that they must be weaved to produce an effect. Besides, men are brought there for gentling. He might see some weaving going on from them. -------------------- Honorary Paladin of the Lawful Naughty If I seem to hate the d20 system, its only because I hate the system.
