Heh, interesting idea. I think it would depend on what feats (are we talking free choice or feats just associated with knitting?). You could make an argument that Catch Off Guard, Throw Anything, and Master Craftsman would all be almost must haves in such a campaign. One character from the...

I'm just gonna say that how much the common man knows and believes in the gods depends upon the campaign setting, on the level of magic, the activity/presence of gods on the mortal plane, and how much "unjust hardships" the commoners face. Some campaign settings (FR) have a lot more of a deific...

Empty space is what you make of it. Having some empty space give the PCs to use the dungeon in their favor : -set up a camp -plot an ambush -temporarily store heavier loot -sit and have an IC conversation with other PCs (perhaps to discuss battle tactics discretely or just have a few moments of...

One option here is to take the existing races and classes and "reskin" them. Some of the more magical oriented classes could be reskinned as alchemists or other quasi-mystical precursors to what we know as science today. Similarly, the races could be reskinned as various offshoots or cultures...

If you play Pathfinder or a version of 3.X, the game mastery guide has a number of resources that might be relevant to you. A number of the NPC statblocks represent a number of fun NPC archetypes that could represent employees, customers, or competition. Likely relevant archetypes might include...

Well, at least two of their close relatives (the intellect devourer and the neothelid) ironically made the cut where the illithids themselves did not. These can serve as something of a replacement.

Hmm, well, the kidnapping of families, that seems to suggest a lot of significant things to me. Like, they want to perpetuate something rather than kill. You mention that most sane people would never join this cult. Then you're gonna need to have some way of getting fresh meat, so to speak...

There is a very good point here about a potential "arms race" between the players and dm that can make prepping a fun game more difficult (familiarity can breed complacency or boredom). However, there are a few potential complications here about player knowledge ruining the "magic" of the...

There was a few of these in first adventure of Paizo's Second Darkness adventure path (in the same one you also got control of a casino).

Well, considering their small size is their largest trait, I'm guessing that's where their awesomeness comes from. So if we cut a halfing in half, he should be twice as awesome! He'd be a quarterling!

The forthcoming Game Mastery Guide (by Paizo) should have many npc statblocks (I don't know what levels they are though). Pathfinder « Dingles Games This here's a Semi-Random npc/monster generator (you can take a monster race [in addition to normal races] and add levels if you want to. you...

Long Term Buff Spells and Donning Armor One of the figher-mage’s alternative to dealing with the somatic component issue is to cast their buff spells before combat and outside of armor. Spell duration is important here due to the time it takes to put on armor. As pg. 153 of the Pathfinder...

Btw, once you work things out, would you mind posting how it all went down? This story seems interesting enough I've got to hear how it turns out.

Hmmm... I'd say that a lot depends on the size of the community and how magic is looked upon in general. A remote hamlet is probably not going to have the laws developed to address this simply because there isn't the infrastructure to develop the law in the first place and because there't not...

This seems like a natural for these guys. It's right there in their favored class-Bard-barian!

One option may be to use the Incantation rules (from the 3.x Unearthed Arcana) but give them a divine origin. Instead of arcane words of power, rather, they're prayers and recitations to curry the gods' favor. Just make most of the checks Knowledge (religion) instead of Knowledge (arcana). In...

Here's a thread with a link to some 4e figurines that were posted on the WotC website. On the third page of the thread there's some printable counters you can download: http://www.enworld.org/forum/general-rpg-discussion/239155-figurines-wondrous-power.html Here's a list of some of the official...

Evard's Black Tentacles

Somewhere I remember hearing about the Negative Energy Burst or Surge spell (dunno where that was, maybe Complete Arcane?). IIRC, it did some hp damage (though I don't think d6 per level) as well as inflicting Str damage. Edit: No Negative Energy Surge in Complete Arcane, but there are some...
