Unlike other Dungeons and Dragons wikis, this wiki is centered around aggressive quality control. On this wiki, you can find material that you can use in your campaigns without balance concerns. To that end we attempt to tag each page with an appropriate balance point; if no balance point is given, it is implied to follow the [[Same Game Test]]. Please see [[Dungeons_and_Dragons_Wiki:Balance_Points|Dungeons and Dragons Wiki: Balance Points]] for a more complete explanation of our balance points.

The ads on the right will go away if you log in. The "what's hot" on the left vanishes after like 10 page clicks. The three wikia links on the bottom will always be there, but they are unintrusive and interwiki links so I find it difficult to care. There's an ad on the top of the main page, but given how Wikia is offering free hosting and support I think that's an acceptable price to pay.

Tome of Prowess

Standard melee.jpg

In the multiverse that D&D represents, people can begin their life as serfs and, through trials and challenges, end up as legendary heroes capable of amazing feats that rival the gods themselves. Or at least this is what D&D would like you to think, given the weight the designers placed on skill points and skills themselves. In reality though, the skill totals required to do amazing things are only acquired up in the epic levels, and by that point, spellcasters have been doing all of your fancy skill tricks for many levels and your neat trick just isn’t relevant. You’ve probably been doing it yourself with magic items and don’t even know or care that you can do it with that skill you’ve brought up with you.

This supplement for the 3.5 D&D game presents skills to correct that, but it does so by sacrificing the simplicity (and with it the irrelevance) of skills at mid and high levels. There’s a lot more abilities for each skill to keep track of with this modification. But if you're okay with the added complexity, you'll find a lot of additional options and flexibility for the non-spellcasting classes that really need it.
