I need to put this into a class, but it looks like it'd work: ---------------------------------------------------- Doublethink (Ex if an ability or a goodie): You can rationalize conflicting beliefs, viewpoints and actions [even opposite ones] without missing a beat. This allows you: 1) A...

This is something I had in mind, mainly because 1) Combat isn't the only thing where you can have a "critical" success. 2) Some successes can be more critical than others. This is the idea: If a check was to beat the DC by 10, it would be a critical success. 15- Phenomenal 20- Legendary...

This was something I had in mind for my Skillshop d20 variant, but it may or may not even need that. Feats have prerequisites and progressions, so I had thought about the prospect of having spell progressions. They already have one prerequisite (Spell attribute 10+level, and some alignment...

BTW: If there is a better place to put entire, stand-alone systems, I have no problem with this thread being moved there. This is an RPG system I built from scratch, which parodies common narrative tropes, while having a rules system that's fairly open, and actually intertwined with narrative...

I cited a cruder version of this in the Dancey thread, and I figured it needed its own thread, so that it wouldn't disrupt the general concept of the thread it forked from. I see a philosophical lean not unlike D&D alignments here: First, we have Tactics vs. Immersion (Practical axis) Then...

Also, can you trigger a quivering palm that way? Or does it count as an attack action, and therefore require some kind of spell-imbuing ability? I say it'd be a rather humiliating way of sorting out a baddie. Totally unexpected, and it'd make the foe look like a total pushover. However, I...

I was thinking of creating a segment based on the games "Shadowgate", "Uninvited", and "Deja Vu". I'm just wondering, if any of you are familiar with the three adventure games, where to judge the EL of such a segment, and how hard to set the saving throws and other survival chances. This...

After having witnessed some console games put this to use (Halo 2, Call of Duty 2, Gears of War), I decided it might work as a houserule variant for pen and paper RPGS, for those people who aren't exactly fond of hitpoints, or who want to depict damage in a purely story-relevant context (while...

This realm, part of an alternate version of Oerth, was once a thriving place, consisting of eight kingdoms, each devoted to a different ideal. It is alive with natural (and often supernatural) beauty, and the six kingdoms live relatively close to each other. It was a paradise of science...

Forked from the "1 Constitution" thread. I'm running a DMPC who's a member of a clergy which has Travel as a domain. Also, the head of that clergy is level 15, and capable of some powerful divination and teleportation. 7 km further out, A fellow soldier has an entire leg in the grave, as the...

I have added other touches, such as critical hits, critical fumbles and 1'd saves doing really interesting things that aren't intended by the functions of the weapons. Cluebat The Cluebat is a merciful greatclub +3. If a foe has been hit with it in combat, they must make a Will save (DC 10 +...

How do I do that right. An NPC cleric (Devin) was aiding in a war effort our PCs were involved in, and the enemy leader's wraith managed to get him down from 12 to 1 constitution in two swipes. He was also at -2 before, though he's at 5/5 HP now. How is the best way to RP someone who has been...
