It's munchkinny, broken, etc. begin rant/ JWM is the most embarrassingly rediculous PrC I or any of my group have seen. I think the designers should feel rediculous for including it as written. As if Jedi need anything ELSE to make them more powerful in combat. I can only see playing this...

So my party is 5th level in what is essentially a shadowchasers game (though I allowed a mage) and have finally come to bear with the fact that there are things out there that want to eat them. They're beginning to stock up on high MC equipment and the odd things is that there is often no...

So I'm thinking there was a pretty good system someone pointed out really early in this thread and no one really addressed it. I tried it in my game and like it, so it's a rule we're planning to follow until some other genius thinks up a better solution. *Non-lethal Combat. Every non-lethal...

My game is tomb raiderish. Its set in today, with the PCs living in and around Seattle, WA. I describe the game setting as 90% Indiana Jones/Tomb Raider and 10% Buffy/Resident Evil. As far as conversion goes, I know almost nothing about buffy, having seen only 2-3 episodes and the original...

Shoot, I'm just using the SRD until the Modern book is available at my local Library. I'm not sure if my group will enjoy modern enough to buy the book. Thanks though, when the book comes in I'll take a look.

I think there are plenty of classes out there for free right now, or you can pick up MPC and MPC2 (I highly recommend MPC, and MPC2 is worth $5 IMO). So I guess I wouldn't be interested in others unless MPC3 comes out and offers much more than just new classes. For my part, classes are among...

Does anyone know the correlation between money and wealth DC? I'm trying to award my PCs a cash award and want to put it in terms of money for the story, but in terms of wealth bonus for gaming. TIA

I know realism and armor in d20 is a stretch, but I have an idea for a pretty realistic and simple modification. Grant an armor bonuses on both the massive damage theshold (MDT) as well as the massive damage saving throw (MDS). The bonus should be 2 for light armor, 4 for medium, and 6 for...

I tried that in DnD but a bad seed ruined it in my group. We have a player who simply cannot play a standard race and takes classes only to gain power, not to develop or refine a concept. Kind of a bummer, but what can you do he's been a friend for years...

Training for days and days doesn't give you a feat. I went through basic as well and never felt that a butt-stroke was as easy to connect with as a baseball bat or fist is. That's why I make it less of a penalty to use a rifle butt than a table (for example), but more of a penalty than using a...

That's a really good point, so far in our d20 gaming (DnD & SW only)improvised weapons have almost never come up. My thought is that the GM will make a spot decision as to how improvised a weapon is, say that something reasonably balanced like a crowbar/tire iron may be only -1, a barstool or...

From my experience, I actually think pistol whip and rifle butt stroke are improvised weapons. Further, I don't allow opportunity attacks with improvised weapons as they aren't balanced right, etc.

Would you mind sending one to me as well? The NPC mob-boss' yacht will be called "plane sailing" in my game. davidgeisbush@hotmail.com
