    Do characters know what spell levels and HP are?

    I allow a DC20 Heal check to know remaining hp after a fight. Sure, the characters wouldn't know numbers, but like you say, it lets them figure out how seriously wounded other characters are...and my players are unlikely to cast heals on random NPC's anyhow.

    Mass Nondetection: 6th or 7th level?

    Agreed, which is why I said that anything else should be based on what the original spell does. :) A mass light spell should probably only be a one level bump, for example, whereas a mass (Tensers) Transformation probably shouldn't exist. *lol*

    Was it a game based on Tron or something? :D

    Help me reward a powergamer!

    If I intend something for a religious character, I usually have it inscribed with the holy symbol of their god. For some reason, the players tend to give those kinds of items to the priests :D Unless the priest passes it off for some reason...

    Spells Known Rule of Thumb?

    My rule of thumb is that an NPC wizard has (Spells per day) x2 in his spellbook, in addition to the starting spells that a wizard gets (3 + Int).

    Do you use the allip as-is?

    Actually, per the SRD "A character with Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma 0 is unconscious." And since Drain doesn't come back, if your party is unable to get you back, you're dead. You'll either starve or something eats you while you're comatose...

    Do you use the allip as-is?

    I always get drain and damage confused as it is, so I've always done it as damage. that seems to be the best way to treat it. No change in the amount of damage, just change from (edited from to) drain.

    Combat flavor Orc

    Ranger, archery path. That way you can use your feats for things like Power Attack, etc, without having to sacrifice armor... Use your animal companion for a mount (or food, if the going gets rough :-D ) Lots of skills Minor magical powers.

    What rules don't work?

    While it's not spelled out in the rules as such, I've always thought that the "5ft square" you control in combat is related to the moving in a fight. You don't just stand in one spot, you take a few steps forward, a few back, a step to the left, you put your knees inside (Sorry, channeld Rocky...

    Death in Eberron - What to Do?

    How about a group of Siberys shards somewhere nearby that have the unusual property of drawing in powerful souls of those that die nearby, and if you can cast a Restoration spell on the crystal with the PC's body nearby, the body and soul will be reunited. Then, there are only 20 crystals...

    Druids - Likes and Dislikes?

    The restriction is not that you're dedicated to a moral or ethical pole, but that you're NOT an extremist (Ie, Lawful and Good, Chaotic and Good), but instead maintain some detachment to it (the natural world is a world where the strong feed on the weak, and those that survive deserve to do so...

    Druids - Likes and Dislikes?

    :-| That's the first time I've ever seen anyone refer to this as summoning the same creature over and over again. The way I've played it (and everyone I've ever known has done it the same way) is that you perform a ritual of some sort that brings a compatible , REAL, creature to you, which...

    Bestow Curse

    Few more curses: Any rope you touch disintegrates. (Some useful potential to this...but potentially restrictive to the character). When you touch someone, you take 1 point of ability damage (ability determined randomly). This applies only to the first time you touch them that day. A new day...
