What type of action is required to breath fire after consuming this?

I was wondering. I want to make a campaign setting where the world is smaller than Earth, by a decent amount(maybe as much as half as small). I'd like it if everything else remained the same though. The year, the day, one moon, four seasons, ect ect. Now, I know I can Rule 0 in anything I want...

I know this sound videogame-ish, but I was wondering if anyone ever crafted something resembling a system that pretty much gave every or most monsters a 'special attack', for a lack of a better term. I feel like crafting a Blue Magic and Blue Mage system and anything to go off of would be...

Has it happened? Has it worked? Could it work? For example, if a map of Europe was taken and all of its geological and political features were stripped(along with the rest of the world) and replaced by a setting that was crafted by a large group of members of the forum. There would be some...

Is it just me or is about the use of the DnD races in every game the same? Elves have been around for a long, long, long time. They were once extremely powerful, now, not so much, at least compared to humans. Humans are everywhere. They are the strongest race and practically the only race that...

http://www.d20srd.org/srd/variant/magic/rechargeMagic.htm I recently saw a post that claimed Recharge Magic was messy and bad. I have never tried it myself, how is it? I'm kind of interested in using it in the future for a certain type of setting.

In various medias, it is always a lot easier to knock people out than to get them bleeding on the floor. You know, that karate chop to the neck drops that big tank-ish meleer down in one hit. It doesn't quite seem like Sneak Attack with a Sap to me. Sometimes the most ordinary of things can...

Usually I'm always the DM, hell I still am, but in another group someone else wants to step up something and I'm quite grateful. He is still looking to me for help though. He wants to make a rather unique type of game, which makes me even more excited, with a lack of magic replaced by Incarnum...

A fun little thought. What classes/items/feats from DnD combination could replicate a real SWAT team and SWAT tactics. Any source available, even make your own for fun.

As I'm always playing around with new system/design concepts I always run into the problem with names. Right now, just on my free time, I'm scraping all the melee jobs of DnD(among other things) and pretty much making 6 versions of Fighter, each with a close alignment with a stat. These jobs...

Remember those threads about classes? I really liked those. I was wondering if anyone wanted to share their opinion on feats. Especially, weak feats that need to be made better. (I'm sure we are going to get a lot of Power Attack talk, lets not make it a debate)

CW Samurai is... not great. For Samurai, what multiclass combos would be good to capture the flavor? Any WotC 3.5 book is allowed. Let's assume it can house ruled that through feats or a DM's kindness, multiclass restrictions can be thrown out the window. Wouldn't Knight/Monk be a good idea...

I love the rules for Iron Heroes. I'm almost complete in campaign preparation. I originally made the world to be a low, but common magic(a step below Ebberon, no airships, yatta yatta). I especially wanted to avoid "I win" magic. Well, I have a very awesome and flexible fix for magic so that...

[A lot of job/spell changes will be made to suit the following, but that isn't the issue at hand] Basically, I want to add a seventh stat: Agility. Well, this, and a lot of big changes at once. Dexterity, which I might wanna rename, takes most physical perception traits from Wisdom(listen...

Well, I'm thinking about my next campaign starting out in a Republic. When I say Republic, I don't mean a county's council or something that simple, I'm talking about an entire, New Age, republic with a political parties, campaigns, and races to see who can grab the highest office and most of...

Is it just me, or does Slight of Hand and Reflex save pretty much cover any possible Dexterity check? List some examples ;p.

Basically, I'm writing up a set of house rules that work with the flavor of my campaign world I'm building. I haven't been able to test anything, and right now am doing everything on paper. The biggest change would be to magical classes. It's important to note that feats will be given out every...

I have a big stack of books, but some of them I'm not sure is of which edition. It would be awesome if someone could help me out. I'm talking non-core Wotc books and 3rd party books. If anyone can link me to a list of either I'd be greatful, otherwise, I could list the ones I'm not sure belong...

I'm wondering if any that are similar to the below exist already. Would be nice. Anyway, I'm not exactly sure how the following will work out, but I'm very interested in developing them. As concepts, I'm curious what people think. (note: kind of favors 'game' over 'reality' I guess) I'm kind of...
