[QUOTE="Evilhalfling, post: 3972166, member: 16991"] I played 2 campaigns out of the old boxed set - killing lots of PCs w/o remorse in varied and interesting ways. They made life hard for me by making broken characters - thri-kreen with 19 st, a starting character with teleport & dimenesion door and....It was the most adveserial game since paranoia. Great fun at the time. I have only glanced dismissivly at the world changes since. The Dragon Magazine mechanics (esp defiling) were just awful and I never bothered to move to 3e. I like frankthedm's mechanics, except that I would prefer the preserver magic to function according to the RAW. Perhaps defilers would always get the power boost - +1 caster level and/or +1 to roll(??) while preservers would play straight. Both classes suffer huge social problems depending on if they cast in or out of a city. I like Noolans suggested changes to iron weapons and armor pricing. Unlike some others I am okay with Kalack dead, while ignoring the rest of the prism pentad. (I think I played it that rikus & crew got killed when fighting against Urik, but fearing a power imbalance the other SK's stopped anyone from retaking Tyr) for 4th? dragonborn seem a natural fit, and the flavor posted earlier would work great with the passage of time. Warlords = fighters & fighters = gladiators? excellent. Lots of great ideas in this thread. I can easily see adapting a sect of clerics to the old druid role. Although the social postions were very different, distinguishing elemental based druids from elemental based clerics never made sense, even in the orginal rule set. As for psionics, both DS and my homebrew world will have to wait till 2009 to convert over. Psionics is too deeply woven to leave out for a year. [/QUOTE]
