That's why I suggested there ought to be a tension between a worthwhile bonus and a *relevant* penalty. If you allow PC item-crafters to select from a menu of bonuses and penalties of course that is going to lead to some minimising of the drawbacks just like selecting Traits and Flaws in GURPS...

What if some/most/all magic items had negative effects aswell as positive ones? I'm thinking mainly in terms of items with a numerical bonus of some kind e.g. Amulet of Natural Armour, Cloak of Resistance, etc. At the moment there's very little decision making required. If you get an Amulet...

What level is this character? You only mention offensive stats, what are the defensive stats like? The character must have some weakness(es)? Do those stats completely overshadow the other PCs? What I normally find most important is that PCs are balanced against one another. If the only...

A thought just occurred to me. Our characters in our current campaign are 19 years old. They've been actively adventuring for just over a year of game time so far. And yet they've already saved the kingdom from Certain DeathTM, been knighted and have many important responsibilities (to the...

Here's a list of Kalamar gods, nothing more than a name and list of domains, but it's a starting point: http://www.kenzerco.com/rpg/kalamar/domains.php Otherwise there's tons of info in the Kingdoms of Kalamar Campaign Setting book...

A long time in the past, as long ago as AD&D rather than 3.x now I think about it, we used a semi-abstract wealth system. For whatever reason we no longer use it, possibly due to the adoption of electronic character sheets which makes accounting easier (for both cash and encumbrance). But...

I use DMGenie running on a laptop. Makes it much easier when buffed by various spells, raging, sickened, etc.

In our group we have a mixture of people who love the randomness of rolled stats and those who love the balance of point buy or a fixed array. In the end we combined the two. One of the players who loves rolling dice generates a set of 6 stats. Then those 6 stats get used as a fixed array for...

Not all "planned adventures" involve "average encounters for a four player group".

Do you need a city just as a backdrop to an adventure/campaign idea you've already got? Or do you want the two combined? Here's a random selection, more info can probably be found in the Product Guide/ Reviews section of this website: Freeport has a whole series of books, including a...

If it was possible to have a "disenchant device" with such a powerful effect then presumably it's equally possible for something else to counteract or reverse it? Sounds like the potential for another epic adventure to send the PCs on in the future, to undo their previous meddling...

In our last campaign, our adventuring group "acquired" a fort. We made a pact to all take Leadership feat when we reached 6th level. Our cohorts and followers then staffed the fort while the main PCs went off on quests, etc. We did plan for the cohorts to be spare PCs, in case of accidents, so...

Because your PC buddy gets to reinvest the profit into improving him/herself and hence the party as a whole benefits. (Assuming they're OK paying the XP cost)

In our group, as *players* we generally pay the crafter the full book price for any items they create for others. This recompenses the lost XP and is also because it's a custom magic item which exactly meets the buyer's requirements rather than some random magic item. It also keeps more wealth...

I'll preface this by saying I haven't read much of the Eberron books myself, though have the Campaign Setting and have browsed some of the others. You mention that you already own all the Eberron hardcover books but haven't finished reading them yet? Then you list a bunch of Eberron material...

If the stereotypical barbarian doesn't appeal, maybe one of these variants might be better suited (assuming your DM permits use of non-PHB material) http://www.d20srd.org/srd/variant/classes/variantCharacterClasses.htm
