It's a half-assed setting for yer D&D game, based in a snowy/icy land *shrug shoulders*. I wish I was more inspired sometimes. Anyway, here it is. Dire men! http://www.memento-mori.com/d20/Tundra.pdf

Missing the point of torture. You guys have some good ideas, but I think the fundementals of this skill are flawed. Distasteful, yes. But if you want to develop it as a skill, check out the facts. Nobody can withstand torture forever. Even Navy SEALS and other special units of the armed forces...

Fire! Fire! Ooo! I just thought of a cool feat for Paladin mounts. Not sure what to call it, but it's the ability for your mount to jump over and charge through burning stuff...you know, that scene in every adventure movie where the horse jumps over the flames? Hmmm...ideas? (maybe call it...

Re: Re: "Split Class" Rogues He get none. BUT he does get his BAB jumped up to +7/+2 and a much better Fort Save. Ah, I don't think it makes *sense* but it seems like it might be fun to try out. See? This is what happens when you're stuck at home all day. :)

Hey, Thysl. I never test my stuff...I don't really play RPGs nowadays(ick!). I just want for more of a "feel" than for game balance (a ranger who practically lives on the back of his horse should be a devasting mounted fighter, I think). I'm going to put up some ranger combos today, to show...

Last year I published a bunch of alternates to the ranger class in a web 'zine called RPGevolution. Sadly, RPGe is gone, but I decided to re-do the article. Before it was a collection of different styles of ranger, each suited to a non-forest terrain type (the article was called "Get out of the...
