For what it's worth, here's a mechanic I've considered: each class has a primary ability; in the case of a spellcaster (wiz, sor, clr, drd), it's caster level. When multiclassing, you can retain the special ability of your primary class; that is, the class in which you have a majority of...

ah, but you must remember, this is for an alternate system, where prestige classes are not necessary for any character (but still there), and everyone gets more feats. I post this kind of thing to see if the idea is worth pursuing. It isn't a complete rule, as explained at the website. This...

This is part of series of rules discussion for the <a href="http://www.talarie.com/serious/index.html">Serious d20 System</a>, a variant core system for d20 play. This is the short version of a discussion on a new method of assigning skill ranks, intended to greatly reduce complexity while only...

That has been a primary concern. I'm not sure what is and isn't sacred, but here's what I haven't changed (though, in some cases, I've provided variant rules to use instead). The actual class list (no deletions) PC races (I leave it to the PHB and Savage Species) Basic feat, ability increase...

Disclaimer: I guarantee this will draw great criticism. Keep objectivity in mind, please. Oh yeah, and don't judge based on my low number of posts, either. I've been here for years. To begin: This post is to describe a new d20 product. No, I have no publisher, though it's easy enough to go...

I've been here far too long not to say something. I've been working on an alternate system, rather comparable to d20 modern, but for standard d&d fantasy settings. Here's a few ideas relevant to the discussion that I'd like opinions on. Standard ranger abilities: Favored terrain - gain 1/2...
