The World of Avlis

So... I'm interested in working with some of the avlis/copap psionics haks; specifically, I want to tinker with the (technical) PrC itself, some of the feats, and maybe try my hand at a few custom items, just to get my feet wet. The problem, though, is that I don't have any clue where to start. I've...

While we're at it, two clarifications about Damage Immunity:

1) Does Immunity absorb damage before Reduction and Resistance?
2) If I remember correctly, Immunities DO stack. Can someone verify?

I'm betting it's part of a large DM plot to build a transcontinental Avlissan railroad. :P On a more serious note, are items that have what I assume is a custom On Hit property also FOIG on their percentage chance to strike, or would those chances to trigger the effects be listed? For the Spike for ...

I think it's also important to keep a character's skills in mind. Even with a negative WIS modifier, characters can be damned good at finding things (Search, Spot, Listen), be mentally tough or focused (i.e. Iron Will), and, occasionally, have moments of brilliance (albeit rarely). Alignment also ma...

Blame Snow.

Oh, also. Speaking of the Ambassadors/WLs forum. Orl explicitly denied the "level cap without DM approval" idea way back in 2005. It's one extremely dead horse at this point. The idea was a little bit tongue-in-cheek; I like the idea that things are changing mechanically, but it seems too little to...

/crackpot theory mode on If there's a such a worry for level advancement, then why not set something on our PC hides at creation that prevents leveling past, say, level 15 without a DM flagging that PC? Think Andrinor's Mark, only for leveling. Would it piss off the powergamers? Absolutely, and that...

From the testing I've done so far, the changes don't seem to be a major problem. If people want to powergame, they'll powergame till they get bored and move on to an MMO where there's almost no chance of DM involvement. Same with the loot changes; they're nothing earth-shattering, and the possibilit...

Just did a little grouping in the LRC with MadK@ and a DM wand, and noticed a couple of things: 1) XP doesn't seem to be distributing correctly; with MK as a level 1 and my PC as a level 40 in the Dojo, both were getting 1-4 XP per kill. A level 1 PC mostly likely should've been getting more under t...

Does the 7,000 per week apply to all uncookied experience (MOB killing, crafting, and quest XP), or does it apply strictly to "random" experience? - scripted quests, DM events and crafting are exempt from the cap Capping what one can get regularly is a good idea, I think, as it puts more focus on th...
