I've bought M&M 2nd edition and I'm working my way through the rules. I ran some combats between the hero archetypes, and I'm confused about how they are created. How does the Weapon Master have a defense of +14? I thought the max was +10 for her power level, unless there is a trade-off...

I'm still here :) but I don't have nearly as much time as I used to. Not that I used to do all this at work ... well, ok, I did all that organizing at work - now I have a new job with not so much free time. As well, the list was getting so long that I wondered how useful it was. I was...

I have been working on this same issue for our campaign - low magic item but not entirely low magic (or low magic but still heroic). The alternatives didn't really suit me. I took a lot of ideas from Iron Heroes, but I didn't like whole token idea (too much bookkeeping, imo). Anyway, here...

http://film.guardian.co.uk/news/story/0,,1803394,00.html Pretty vague so far. Has anyone seen anything else about this? craftyrat

Are there any revisions to character creation that essentially break all the abilities out into feats (rather than a point based system like M&M)? I'm pretty sure I saw a pdf like this, but I can't remember the name. I'm working on some low magic revisions, and I'd like some sources to mine...

Like a lot of other librarians, I started out working as a library page (or clerks as we were called). After a year of doing that, I decided to go back to school and get my masters degree. I think it's a great career choice, but it isn't a big money maker (though I do pretty well in my current...

As suggested in the what do ENWorlders do thread, here is a place for our many librarians (and all people who work in libraries) to talk, compare notes, complain, ask questions, etc. I manage a reference department in a legislative library in Canada. There are 6 librarians and 4 support staff...

Another librarian here - manager of reference services for a legislative library, formerly a librarian at a couple of public libraries. We should start a librarians/gamers forum here :) craftyrat

This is my attempt at making ECL 0 Lycanthropes. To do this, I modified them quite a bit, and broke some of their abilities out into racial feats. Lycanthropes Lycanthropes are people who have the ability to shapeshift into animal form. Their humanoid form can be any type: human, dwarf, elf...

I'm trying to create lists of animal companions by terrain. Using the choices in the Players Handbook (and a bit from the frost and sand books), I have come up with the lists below. Any suggestions? Does anyone else have lists they would like to share? I'm drawing a bit of a blank on swamp...

This is a kind of expanded choice barbarian, sticking to the class format, but with a bit more customizability. The bonuses for terrain and totem make it somewhat more powerful than a standard barbarian, but not overwhelmingly so. Comments? Ideas for other specializations? craftyrat Credit...

Another spell-less bard Here is my (currently untested) spell-less bard. It is based around songs that affect and aid party members. Songs improve automatically at higher levels. Craftyrat Bard (Bardic music is replaced by an entirely new system. Bards do not cast regular spells.) Hit...

I thought about doing something like this (after playing EQ2). I find with my group - casual players who aren't interesting in devoting too much time to character planning - the choice built into the current system is illusionary. They don't want to take advantage of it, so it really doesn't...

Greenbound Summoning feat from Lost Empires of Faerun. I was planning out a summoning druid for a new campaign when I came across this feat. It seems extremely powerful (quick summary: no prerequisites, turns your summoned nature's allies into plant creatures, gives +6 armor, DR 10/magic and...

I've started a dwarf priest, Lochan, currently at the heady level of 5. I don't use teamspeak.

I will also be starting up a character on Feathermoon this weekend. I'm just starting in WoW. craftyrat

What about a fairly traditional religious vow - vow of silence? In the interests of playability I would say the character could communicate as much as they wanted out of the game, but nothing in-game. Benefits could include resistance to sonic attacks and/or resistance to bad magic. Neither of...

We were joking at our game last night that our rogue (who is due for a death) was going to come back as kobold this time - since our healer is a druid. So as a joke, I decided to lay out his options with a bunch of kobold rules, prestige classes and the like. The result is Kobold-o-Rama, which...

I haven't had time to think about a revised format for this. The best I think would be a pdf, with full indexes of classes by type/etc. In any event, I have fixed all the links and added a bunch of new stuff (including the October posts I missed before): Revised Core: Sorcerer (Trilobite)...

I (finally) got an update done today that goes back to the beginning of November. Next week I'll go through the October posts, and the messages in this thread since my last post. Updated with: Revised Core: Hexblade, Paladin (Essex, ParagonofVirtue), Swashbuckler, Wizard New Core: Athlete...
