If half-elves are week you probably don't even want to hear about my half-elf bard. I don't see any need to power up the half-elf. If you want to play a more powerful character, don't play a half elf. Some players actually enjoy playing statistically challenged characters. I'm not a number...

Casting / Using magic items causes damage. I'd keep it simple. Spell level times some multiplier. Perhaps something impacts the modifier (rare ingredients, full moon, etc). Want it really low magic, the damage is not healable via magic. Even lower? Con damage.

I ran a bard that didn't care for the stodgy sound of Leomund's Secure Shelter. Hence, Diderot's Bodacious Bordello was born.

I recently started a campaign where the players have a dual role. First off they play the Leads of a Guild. For the first few adventures they have been handed some long range goals by the Guild Master to give them the feel for the campaign. To achieve these goals the Leads hire adventures for...

I was in a trap heavy dungeon in a recent game and we did have a rouge. Once we triggered the first trap and half of the part lost half of thier hit points the rouge took point searching the entire length of the every hallway. To keep things moving the DM would ask the Rouge to roll a bunch of...

Wallpaper Currently I use: http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap020705.html For those who like space sceen APOD is full of good background to use. I've had fun using them for backgrounds in an OpenRPG Star Wars game as well.

About one year ago I had the pleasure of joining a great online campaign. As of November the campaign will reach its second annaversery and is still going strong so I figured a post here in EN World was in order. This campaign has been one of the greatest games I have ever played on line or...

It's a forced in areas, but this was such an interesting challenge I had to give it a try. Hopefully something in this is useful. If you have ever seen the 1984 movie Amadeus there is a great scene toward the end of him write a song as he dies upon his bed where they break the music into...

some links I'm no Grewhawk expert, but here are some links I've used in the past. Cannonfire probably has something somewhere that could help. http://www.canonfire.com/ This site has a nice listing of the gods. Not much detail, but maybe it will give the player a name to search on in the...

Good tunes Here's the best tune my bard has ever played during combat: http://www.paganlibrary.com/music_poetry/scotsman.php Several good songs here, but probably not really what your looking for: http://ingeb.org/folksong.html Enjoy.

Boosting the Bard About a year ago I joined an existing campaign as a Bard. I started at 2nd level while the rest of the part was near the end of 4th level. I had heard about some of the problems with the bard and wanted to get a better appreciation for them before tinkering with the rules...

BluWolf - You bet! The lands are going to be much closer together than Japan and Europe, but I am planning to use some of the plot lines from Shogun in the campaign. fusangite - Good observation. Deism and Monism do seem to be strong themes above. Perhaps to throw out a variation on these...

I'm in the mists of creating a campaign with a monotheistic religion. The campaign is centered around the activities of a Merchant Guild and not the church, but to help players have a reason to player a cleric working for the guild I decided early on that the two would have to have at least...

Illithid Empire Campaign Instead of finding a way to water down the mindflayer to match PC's at lower levels perhaps changing the campaign would help. Hoepfully this site will at least give you some ideas. Illithid Empire Campaign

Samothdm, what I would take from the replies from this board is that outside of calling on rule 0 the question is a matter of perception. There have been posts in calling the act evil. There have been others that have defended the act as something a LG character could make. In most gaming...

Interesting. I'm playing in a low magic game my self that is just getting started. The web site doesn't have all of the info yet, but if your interested in some other possibilities check under the Character - Character Creation section. http://www.angelfire.com/games/keagansreach/

Here are some rules I have come across in different games 1) Literacy is not automatic 2) The Preform skill is unique to the Bard class 3) In a very low magic campaign the Concentration skill was used to cast and hold any spell. (e.g. Cast Detect Evil roll skill check. To concentrate on...
