Does anyone use Reputation scores in their game? I'd like to get into the habit and perhaps even have base reputation score bonuses for certain classes, say bards & rogues. Does reputation score affect NPC attitude? The idea of simply a modifier to CHA skills seems too boring and...

Okay, at this point I'm fed up with 3.5 as it deals with Constitution and hit points. It's just too potent at high level. I'm thinking of going to the 4th Ed rules that you get your full con score once to HP (rather than modifier per level). I want to institute something like healing surges...

I heard mention of this idea before somewhere, but I don't think the idea had been fully fleshed out. What about, rather than having a maximum dexterity bonus for armor, armor instead applied an effective penalty to dex (for AC purposes only, not init or skills or other stuff). As it currently...

How can we balance level 1 to 40? Here are some ideas I have. A lot of them revolve around level "tiers" at 1st, 11th, 21st, and 31st. Let's brainstorm and refine anything that might make this workable. - one additional attack per tier, regardless of BAB (to limit # of attack rolls) - having...

From a saves thread... If we wanted to do something like this for BAB, how? Saves have only two value streams (2+x/2 and 0+x/3) and are closer in values, while BAB have three streams (x, 3x/4, x/2) that end much further apart. The 4th Ed values for BAB are 1/2 per level and that is simply too...

Okay, one philosophy I like about 4th Ed is fewer rolls per turn which means shorter turns. But we can't simply limit attacking to one attack per turn because that weakens fighter types compared to spellcasters. It also blurs the differences between standard attacks and full round attacks...
