    Making Weapon Finess a Freebie?

    First off, I heart WF. I tend to either play Grey Mouser-style rogues or Warcraft-style Paladins, and the rogues are always finessin' like a mug. Ergo, I might be a bit biased towards WF as a free feat. However, to counter, yes, you NEED Str to do damage with a hit. No Str, no penetration...

    Undersea/Flying ships, help wanted

    Serpent Mage! That's what it's called! I was trying to think of it all day yesterday. Oh, and as for keeping the air in... a modified version of mage armor might work for that. It's a wall of force, it should keep the water out and the air in. If you had it in sections, like say some...

    Undersea/Flying ships, help wanted

    Speaking of Tracy Hickman, have you were read Elven Star? No... wait, that's not it. Darn it all, I can't remember, but the fourth book in the Deathgate Cycle. It's set in a world where the universe has been split into it's composite elements. The water world has a good alternative to domed...

    Get rid of Strength bonus for to hit

    On the note of reduced HP, a friend of mine came up with the following system that gets dirty quickly, but isn't insane. Basically, you get your first hit die from your class. It's maxed out, as normal, but every level thereafter, you only add your Con bonus. However, your HP maxes out at 30...

    Few Classes, Many Races

    Alright, I just want some imput on the feasiblity of this concept. I'm going to be starting a high fantasy homebrew camapign in a month or so, and I'm thinking of a few major changes to the character creation process. First, I'm using the Generic Class system supplied by Unearthed Arcana. For...

    What do you drink during games?

    Depending, it'll vary between water, iced tea and <i>potions of tooth decay</i> as the iced-tea drinkers call soda, caffeinated or not. The most impressive group I had was when I fenced. We'd play Saturday afternoons after fencing class. Everybody would run down to the corner Pizza Hut and...

    Need help with a PC class design...

    Hey, I spent months working on a spell-casting system based on M:tG for 3.0, 'cause I wanted to run a Dominaria campaign. I like big house rules. Generic spells are a place to start. Yes, they're uninteresting, but they're the basis for other spells. What might be applicable here is some...

    Need help with a PC class design...

    I don't know if you're familiar with White Wolf's <i>Mage</i> system, and the subsystem of <i>Sorcerer</i>, but that may be what you're looking for. Obviously, the mechanics would have to be converted, but the Sorcerer system, in flavor fits with Ol' Lieber's world. Paths are availible to...
