Weapon and Armor Proficiency: Shadow Knives are Proficient with all simple weapons, with their own Shadow Blades, and wiht light armor and shields (except tower shields).

Shadow Blade (su): This abillity is like the Mind Blabe except it only does non lethal damage until 3rd lvl and can only make daggers. At 3rd level teh damage becomes lethal and the shadow knife is able to form the blade in to a short sword or kukri.

Two weapon fighting

Shadow striking: At 3rd The shadow blade gains an ability that allows it to do an addition 1d4 damage while being wielded with in an area of shadowy illumination or darkness. Both the wielder and their target must be in the area for this effect to work. This extra damage does not effect creatures that are immune to critical hits.
The damage done increases by 1d4 every 3 levels. A shadow knife can sacrifice 1 extra damage die to change the type of damage by the other dice to cold damage.

Free Draw: A shadow knife can create its shadow blade as a free action.

Twin blades: The shadow knife has the ability to create a second blade at -1 than the first





That all I have so far Any suggestions would be great, Shadow magic will be a big part of my campaign so any ideas features, other classes or races that will help my setting keep the shadowy feel would also be nice.

Thank you all in advance for all your help. XD]]> https://forum.obsidianportal.com/discussion/2278/replacing-the-standard-obsidian-portal-top-navigation-bar Sun, 11 Dec 2011 08:43:36 +0000 Kallak 2278@/discussions
The downside is that you have to have this code at the top of every page you intend to replace the menu on, but if you start out with replacing the top navigation in mind, it's not TOO bad to create the pages and just paste it in. HOWEVER, finalize it in advance, cause updating could be quite a chore if your wiki has a large number of pages. Anyway, I hope that this hasn't yet been posted, and that (even if it has) someone finds it and gets some use out of it. I know I've had fun playing with code trying to get it perfected.

I've modeled this off the "Dragon Disciple":http://www.d20pfsrd.com/classes/prestige-classes/core-rulebook/dragon-disciple with some influence from the "Demoniac":http://www.d20pfsrd.com/classes/prestige-classes/other-paizo/c-d/diabolist. I tried to create a class that would be useful to just about any fiend, without drastically overpowering the bigger ones (e.g. Pit Fiends). I imagine that this is the sort of class taken by select fiends who rise to become masters and representatives of their kind. The class should be comparable to the abilities of existing fiends (of comparable CR) after adding a base fiend's HD or CR to the class levels it might have here. Generally, a fiend taking this class should start off with the same basic traits as all other fiends of its type (e.g. devil, demon), plus any peculiar traits he has. As he gains levels, he gets a bit tougher and more resilient, but trades off better hit points, saving throws, and BAB for improved spell-like abilities. When he gains anything to do with spell-like abilities, he forfeits any increase in other forms of spellcasting, except for 10th level. Improvements to spell-like abilities are supposed to be very limited, only granting abilities akin to those of similar fiends (i.e. a devil can't take demon abilities), and only affecting a few abilities, i.e. he doesn't get buffs to all his existing abilities. He also gains up to 2 size categories. Given the fact that this prestige class may offer more to a character/NPC than the Dragon Disciple, and the fact that fiends typically start with 3+ racial HD, I've set the skill rank requirements to 5 ranks above the comparison classes.

What I'm looking for is any and all feedback; particularly regarding issues of balance and clarity. That is, how can I make this clearer? and is there anything here that seems to have potential for massive abuse? Thanks in advance and without further ado ....

*Requirements*: To qualify to become a greater fiend, a character must fulfill all of the following criteria:

I'm looking for some help here.

We're just getting our campaign put up on Obsidian Portal and somehow it's fallen to me to clean things up and do all the HTML to make it look more awesome. Since as of a week ago I didn't know jack about HTML or CSS this has been quite interesting.

I followed gnunn's guide to building a sidebar and I've tweaked things to suit our needs, but I'm having a problem inserting an image into the sidebar to function as the sidebar background. I've checked various HTML and CSS help sites and either I'm too dense to see what I'm missing ... or I don't know.

Here's the code that I'm working with:

I've been playing 3 & 3.5e for ten years. It's my baby and I love it. Know all the rules, have all the supplements, and the worlds most intimidating bookcase. However, here lately I've been looking at 4th ed. It just looks like everything was made to a more "video game" orientation, which is great, being a very active gamer. That being said, I'm finding the format to be very difficult to break into.I can't seem to find any way to change over simply. This might be due to the fact that I have none of the books, like I do for 3.5, however, it will be hard to justify buying the GREAT MULTITUDES of books I see for it, along with the power cards, figures, maps, etc. with my constantly dwindling salary. I've read a couple articles, watched some videos, and spent hours scrolling through what Google lobs at me, but I'm just getting more and more confused. Maybe I'm just so used to tried and true methods that I'm set in my ways, but I really want to pick up 4th ed.

So heres my questions:
1. Is there a site, or primer, that can help me? I'm going through the SRD, but to little avail.
2. Has anyone made a 3.5 to 4 conversion article or thread that I can look at?
3. My friends are all 3.5 elitests. What is a good way to break them into 4th?


Also, I've talked with a few other people who are having the same problems, so if you are, please post your questions as well. I'm hoping that this can help other people as well.]]> https://forum.obsidianportal.com/discussion/2457/color-attributes-to-character-slug-links-possible Tue, 13 Mar 2012 09:09:51 +0000 Kallak 2457@/discussions

However I have had one recurring comment. As NPCs die, I tag them "Deceased" -- but short of tagging all the not-dead people "Living" they eventually clutter up the remaining NPC listing.

Is there any way to separate the Characters page with additional divisions, like the PCs/NPCs/GM Only divisions that currently exist?]]> https://forum.obsidianportal.com/discussion/2466/help-with-a-table Sun, 18 Mar 2012 23:42:43 +0000 TheDZA 2466@/discussions https://forum.obsidianportal.com/discussion/2426/default-the-wiki-tab-to-show-all Wed, 22 Feb 2012 23:14:49 +0000 tetrasodium 2426@/discussions https://forum.obsidianportal.com/discussion/2248/ascendant-membership-what-happens-when-it-ends Sat, 26 Nov 2011 00:01:24 +0000 Savannah 2248@/discussions https://forum.obsidianportal.com/discussion/2451/for-your-consideration-color-blindness Fri, 09 Mar 2012 20:28:58 +0000 Sorwen 2451@/discussions

I am TRYING to do some cool stuff with gooveshark and my site but it is not getting along with me very well. The things I am trying to get it to do are:

1. Autoplay
2. Put playlists instead of only just one song
3 Choose between randomizing and specific order for playlists.
4. Hide widget with other picture (like maybe just a SMALL play button or music button) that could turn it off and on.

Any help with this would be appreciated. As it stands OP does not seem to like the base coding you can get for the widget from grooveshark so it has been difficult. Hopefully some of the code gurus on here can make some better sense of it.

EDIT: And I sent an email to the grooveshark support with the only code possible to post on OP and they were absolutely zero help with their response.

Currently, my plan is to GM and run a PC to play with her. I will likely make a rogue or ranger that I will try and synergize with her Bard. The quests will be mostly based around espionage and conning. As we get further along, I will probably start to add in covert assassinations and maybe some minor dungeon delving.

That being said, i'm not sure how to modify combat for 2 people very well. And, I've never DM'ed while playing a true PC. Any tips on how to approach this or things to avoid?

My wife's character is on my webpage, http://rpgwench.com/topics/characters/pcs/ Talaitha the Gypsy. I should probably post that in my campaign on this site.]]>
