My Psionics House Rules The Psionics are Different option is in effect. Inertial Armor is not a power, but a feat(see Feats). Psionic Focus: For feats which require the expenditure of a Psionic Focus to function, the option is given to expend power points instead to maintain that focus...

I have to chime in for the Forgotten Realms. It's a very large and richly detailed world, with more plot threads than you can shake a stick at for all levels of play to get involved in, numerous organizations good and bad for your players to interact with, and dozens of regions with just about...

Other: Soulknife. I don't care if they don't get psionic powers, the ability to create a blade of pure psychic power and go Jedi upside some poor Orc's head is just too cool to pass up. :cool:

Overall, I find the Expanded Psi HB to be a distinct improvement over the 3e Psi HB. To wit: 1)Augmentable powers. This alone sells the book for me. Not only do many powers scale up in damage and save DC, others get some cool new extensions to their capabilities(such as Danger Sense or Evade...

Sell me reading myself on the book? :D

HERO is, in terms of its built-in flexibility, THE game system. If you can think of it, you can build it in HERO, probably in about half a dozen different ways. One of the biggest things about HERO is that it holds no bars. Things that would be suicidal to include in other game systems are...

*looks through rulebooks* Classes? Check. Experience Levels? Check. Alignments? Check. Nouns of Verbing +X items? Check. Name's Adjective Noun spells? Check. Dungeons? Check. Dragons? Check. Yep. Still looks like D&D to me. :cool:

Bah! Ork! am only good game for stupid Sour Men to play! All others am weak and puny! You am play Ork! and kill Squishy Men right now or almighty Krom am drop Frigidaire on your stupid head and reincarnate you as Sand Dollar! :]

Not a problem. Knock 5-10 HD off one, drop some feats accordingly, lower stats and SR, perhaps drop it down a size class, call it a juvenile. :cool:

Wanna give 'em a scare they won't soon forget? Don't make it a Rust Monster. Make it an Annihilator(found in the Forgotten Realms: Underdark book). Why just rust their weapons when you can threaten them with Disintegration instead? :]

Like some folk pointed out, Dragon Disciple is pretty much worthless to a straight spellcaster. But to a MC char it can be devastating. Consider this: A Human Fighter 5/Sorceror 1, Str 18 with Power Attack, Power Lunge, Weapon Focus/Spec Greatsword, and the Sorc spells Shield and True Strike. By...
