Why? Random Speculation: You guys just like big ability scores? Are the PCs demigods? Are stat boosting magic items still as common as in a typical game?

Change the name of shocking grasp or burning hands to something like, frost touch or frigid hands. Change the damage from the original energy type to cold. Voila!

You can have a classless system already in place but simply give prebuilt classes as the standard for the game. DMs and groups can then choose one of several options: 1) Go with the recommended prebuilt classes. 2) The DM creates his own classes and may or may not use the recommended ones in...

If it were to require a different proficiency than simple if should be martial. As a quaterstaff is simple all ready and upgrading damage dice 1 step should result in a 1 step proficiency change.

Why not just make your own, its not like a vampire or something complicated, you just want extra arms? +2 Arms, if it has claw attacks it gains two more because it has two more arms, multi weapon fighting for free, +1 CR.

Muskets and other early firearms should be simple weapons. They should have long reload times (3 rounds or more) and do a good deal of damage, maybe even good critical multiplier/damage. Possibly ignore some armor (but not magical bonuses of armor) and have short range increments (don't fire...

They're available in my D&D games if you can find a high enough level caster who knows the spell (very difficult) and can convince the caster that your request is worthy him spending 5000XP and that the task obviously isn't morally objectionable to the caster and that you can compensate him in a...

Take both and get the quick draw feat. Whenever one or the other seems more approriate to use draw it and fire. Look to palandromes post when deciding the best circumstances to use the repeater.

When it comes down to it you can play a party with any combination of the archtypes and it can work with resourceful players and a DM who doesn't try to exploit your weaknesses every encounter. The thing thats most needed though is a caster, preferably a cleric since they can patch you up after...

If I played more, instead of DMing so much or playing shadowrun, I would've probably purchased them all by now with some character. That said only monks, clerics, royal and entertainers I haven't purchased yet with at least one character. I have seen them all perchased used by characters...

Modify the Perform Chart: Sleight of Hand DC What you stole 10 Only the blind and old are easy enough targets for you, you can earn 1d12 cp/day. 15 In a prosperous city, you can earn 1d12 sp/day. 20 In a prosperous city, you can earn 2d12 sp/day. In time, you may attract the attention...

See this article I found while surfing the net a few days ago: http://www.thealexandrian.net/creations/misc/d&d-calibrating.html Essentially the author says that there isn't anyone in the real world above level 5 or so. Somewhere around 5th level you can make a d&d character who could beat the...

I have a very short list of the PRCs I allow in my game, so this isn't much of an issue when I DM. The other guys usually don't GM D&D long enough for it to become an issue, and I don't think it would with our group anyway.

Shouldn't this go in house rules? The first 4 look well balanced to me. Might want to change the name of the first feat if you have an inmature or you'll get some snickers. The other ones look very interesting but the ones that let you mimic special abilities have definite abuse potential...

LOL, I haven't met anyone that bad at comprehending basic probability in a loooong time, ever actually, took me a long time to convince some one that rolling a 12 on 2d6 is less likely to happen than rolling a 7 on 2d6 or a 12 on 1d12. In response to the OP I'd recommend just rolling an extra...

I think its possible to easily make a single system to accomadate both play styles. Oh and if this actually turn out to be better than their last couple of attempts to make star wars d20 I might actually play it. So far it looks pretty good.

I wouldn't call any time a caster gets +1 caster leve a 'dead level', usually those extra spells per day and spells known open up more options and neat tricks than any other class features. I think that increasing the power of PRCs simply to fill up dead levels is unjustified unless the said...

11-15, mostly minor tweaks to the game.

Once every 3-5 weeks out of game. Regardless of which of us is running a game. In game it varies greatly depending on whose game it is.

Couple problems: Why would the warrior to monks BAB suddenly drop by +1? Why would the adept to wizard/sorcerer hit dice drop to a d4? I'm sure there are a few other minor problems like this. Adepts have a unique spell list and have a different casting stat that wizards and sorcerers. Adepts...
