Was 1gp = 1xp in 2E? That is, for every gold piece of treasure gained you get one experience point.

If I were you, I would NOT use Eberron as a model. It's a grab bag setting, so it does a lot of this okay, but nothing well. To reiterate what everyone else is saying, keep it tight. Don't be afraid to make bold design decisions. I still haven't seen a setting that brought back class/race...

Iron Kingdoms really seems like your best bet, considering it has all you are looking for except these skyships. It also seems to fit the flavor you want - FR or Talislanta with guns and mechs would be pretty incongruous to their themes. And what exactly do you mean by skyships? Regular boats...

No, Judaism, Islam and Christianity are the only religions that can produce divine casters: clerics, paladins and divine bards. There may be other active gods, but they would be powerful monsters that draw cultists to them, not the ineffable divine, not something that could grant spells...

Cool; I was just collating all my ideas for a fantasy Kingdom of Jerusalem campaign. Mine, though, will be heavily centered on monotheism. The PC's first quest will be curing King Baldwin IV of his leprosy - and thus proving that God's Kingdom on Earth can and will survive even through...

I hate to follow Raven Crowking when it comes to fey, but what if the fey were stuck there too? Shanghaied and robbed of most of their power by some vindictive force. However, they draw energy from the conflicts, rage and sorrow of mortals... They don't want the camps on the island to kill...

So where in the rules does it state that you provoke an attack of opportunity from attacking with a ranged weapon while threatened?

No, no, I knew that. I'm remember an AC penalty against melee when using ranged weapons.

I thought I read for sure that when a character uses a missile weapon, should another character or creature attack him in melee, the missile-using character receives a -4 AC penalty. Now, however, I have scoured the srd and not found a single mention of it. Can someone point out to me where...

IMC it's Rootworld.

A little advice on detect evil. It should never, ever be run as a binary thing, Evil/Not Evil, but instead be used as a "sixth sense" that gives non-specific information to the paladin and creates texture in the world, i.e.: UNSURE Dan DM (as Frank Farmer): "Howdy!" Peter Paladin-Player...
