On the claims of fantasy's racism, I have to wonder about the climate that made drow happen. The big evil race, eternal foes of the "good" race (most source seems to hold up elves as paragons of good), bane of all they encounter, dwelling in a society based off cruelty, torture, and hate...are...

Absolutely...with a bit of overview. The rampaging psychopath never lives long, but the schemer, the would-be tyrant; these people could easily band with a more heroic group to accomplish more important goals than "live up to the E on my character sheet by screwing over everyone near me". Plus...

Couldn't vote. I can't find the Homebrew button to save my life. ;)

Personally, I think it has a lot to do with both the legally mandated 'rights' of slaves, or at least the things their owners cannot legally do to them, and how these slaves are acquired. If, for the sake of argument, slavery is evil and broadly defined as forcing someone to live according to...

Just wanted to drop a couple coppers on this, since most of the really good ideas have been stated. Man, is "store cat" a divisive issue or what? :) It's primarily that I saw Warhammer/40K suggested a couple times; be wary. One of our FFLGS (Former Friendly...) in the city used to carry 40K and...

Only in Heroquest is the adventure site limited to a dungeon. :heh: Well, I'm sure some groups approach it that way, and if you do and the group enjoys it more than anything, life to you, and glory. But, to go back to the first point and coming from a group that thinks an adventure site can be...

What if you have evil PC's (which, last I heard, were forbidden to RPGA games)? Or ditch alignment altogether? Use 4d6 to determine stats, as the Lords of Heaven intended? Or, more simply; is it "sanction your homebrew as long as it looks like an RPGA game"? Of course, if you're not sure...

It depends on the game...our full-scale campaign? Not on your life. Lacking any restrictive house rules on gender/orientation/moral or ethical outlook for PC's, some scenes get....strange. It's very swept up in character motivation, and in fact some dishes and one poor ancient deck chair have...

I think Corlon might have the answer in transporting fruit...all you need is a ship, a friendly merchant, and some downtime...make a killing importing fresh-picked exotic fruit from distant isles... Or team up with the summoner and a glassblower (assuming your setting permits relatively...

Just thought I might troll :o the boards to see if anybody has some ideas already done on this. The campaign world I'm working on at the moment is young in its current age, with barely more than 3000 years of elvish history. Placed in the world to defend the flourishing life of the western...

Been lurking the thread for a while - significantly impressed, by the way. Some serious work has been put into this, obviously, and it's not only well thought-out, it's distinctive enough to not make the sorcerer "bookless wizards". But I just wanted to drop my two cents on this. I recognize I...

Well, working from the assumption its bonuses are on par with similar items (Gloves of Swimming and Climbing, Ring of Feather Fall), here's what I get. In general I've left off the math used (since in this case it's the Tome & Blood charts), being wary of posting content I can be sued for. ;)...

My apologies, as this isn't actually a post of stats, it's a request in what I thought would be the most logical place. What I was wondering is, does anybody know there know or know where to find information on the beings that rule the layers of Mount Celestia? I'm fairly sure they're out...

First real conversion effort when I was fiddling with drow for a campaign concept, thought I'd throw it out there. Feeling a little post-happy tonight, and I'm not sure if it's been done already, but nevertheless...here it goes. Spiderstone Golem Large Construct Hit Dice: 11d10 (55 hp)...

Not wanting to go through the entire thread archive, thought I'd just pop up and ask; has anybody converted the old Ravenloft elementals for 3e? If not, is anybody interested in giving it a shot? :D

More than five, but aren't they all? 1- Numerous core class revisions: The monk has been completely redone, the ranger is no longer a spell-caster, the paladin has been tweaked for greater flexibility, we use Monte's sorc and bard, and have added about 6 others not contained in the PHB...

*pause...stare...blatant thread hijack* I miss Blackhammer. It fixed my Cyberpunk games from a mindless progression of shooting at things to brutal little life dramas on the seedy underside of North Heywood. If that is in fact 'the' HellHound, let me thank you for the sheer amount of joy...

How quickly is this needed? I'm playing a pure Necromancer in one of the games my group is doing (between 3rd and 4th level spells, I have 13 spells from other schools), and a great deal of it is cobbled together from other sources. Magic of Faerun has a few decent spells, and Beyond the Grave...

First outline: Shinon's Dell and the Elves of the Howling Wood Roll results: An earthquake uncovers a previously unknown dungeon; A huge dire wolf, apparently immune to magic, is organizing wolves in the wood; Racial tensions rise between humans and elves; Slavers continue to raid a local...

Yes, I realize there's probably a thousand resources of this kind out there, but here's one more. :p Each of these outlines is taken from 4 rolls on the DMG's "100 Adventure Ideas" table, strung together in some kind of a cohesive over-arcing plot. I don't promise you victory, I don't promise...
