Maybe do it like Salon.com? Forcing a commercial on people once a week, and let paying members pass? Its a little pushy, but I'm sure people would understand if you told them nicely why it had to be done. +

I like inclusion, but also seclusion. Since I run Planescape all the way I really like the potpurri aspect of the setting and would't take that away for anything. But keeping settings isolated in Planescape adds to the flavor. My group would never be allowed into Athas, but I would definatly...

Pretty much all the reference to prime worlds in Planescape is intended to upset primes. I imagined I would go tired too if I constantly confronted primes without knowledge of the big picture, thus the rather depreciatory term "Clueless".

The best argument so far. The Lady makes the planes accessible, and more easily traversed.

If you don't like the Lady, then just go ahead and flay her. Nobody's going to stop you. It's just that many of us like her, and wants her around. She's a constant presence in the multiverse that's kinda handy to have around. For me, writing up stats on her would be like statting up Ravenlofts...

Why Planescape? I've edited this post three times all ready. Seems like I can't control myself from seeming fanatical about this setting. Maybe just stating facts will suffice: I've DM'ed Planescape since it came out (can't remember the year anymore), and it still surprises me and my players...

I'm sorry if this is something out of context relating to this thread, but the title is Psions and Combat, so here go: I don't like changing the base mechanics for the psionic classes so much as you do here. The problem with psions is that they are weak, very weak, but probably the most...

It's playtested: Psionic AoO What struck me when playing this variant is that is doesn't imbalance things in any way. The "free hits" you mentioned Humanophile doesn't affect combat more then regular AoO's do. During the course of the testing, though, I decided to limit the AoO option for...

An update to the original post have been made. Check it out, and give me critique.

Humbled tao You're right Humanophile! I'm sorry, but I seemed to have mis-read you earlier post. The idea of letting the psionicists have the non-psionic-buffer when not indulging in psionic powers is good. Very good. The new variant rule for this and title-change of the post are done. Please...

You might be right Humanophile. This does stigmatize the psion AND the psychic warrior, but not so much as you might think: The only time this rule applies is when to psionic beings encounter eachother. Only then. So that the two psionic beings are at a disadvantage when facing several...

I'm a guy that's happy with the new psionic rules, but would like slightly more emphasis on psionic combat (slightly). Pleeease comment! Rules Variant: Psionic AoO Whenever a creature using a psionic power other then attack modes she opens up her mind for other psionic entities to enter. This...

thanx. Things cleared up now.

I read the touch spell description and discovered something that my group probably have done wrong for some time. The cure wounds spells including harm/heal, requires the caster to touch the recipients of the spell as a standard action! This means that first the healer must cast the cure...

I'm thinking of making all halflings slaves in my world. I think they fill the niche quite good actually; fearing change and liking the routines of everyday life. Is this a probable way to portray a halfling, or am I way of?

Fascinating subject. The first thought to leap into mind is sado-masochism. It should probably have some element in the layer. If you run the Abyss as a place of sin and punishment for transgressed goodness, then maybe this is not the best way however, since all the petitioners led those ways...

wolfpunk is champ Good point. But. I wish that every player could role-play an encounter with a diplomat, and I wish I (as the DM) had the creativity to debate every single thing the player wants to. I don't. Sure I might catch myself in a creative spark sometimes and have great fun...

Hong has right. You don't have to invent a new ability for each weapon though. It might be enough to simply divide the weapons into categories and figure out the common ground for them: Slashing, bludgeoning and piercing maybe? Or reach, good critical, good damage, cheap making? Just some...

Intimidate DC = targets HD + 10 This is bad. There should be much easier to intimidate a wizard then barbarian, I think anyway. The very least thing one could to was the put the Wis mod up there to reflect something else then experience. An idea I like (but don't like since it involves...

You all bring up very good points. My initial frustration with using the normal skill-system-opposed-roll is that it moves so darn fast! If I want things to be speedy I could easily resolve an entire combat by each player rolling one dice and find out who won in the overall. But that would...
