I will bow to your superior knowledge :) I haven't made a concerted effort to varify the information i posted above, but I came across it somewhere that seemed reliable (not that I recall where, too much useless stuff up in the head). Of course I don't think they footnoted any of the info heh...

it's more gizmos than I'd really want in my campaign. However, I'm just setting the stage and as I mentioned in the other thread mine isn't "low magic" so much as "new magic". That said (that I'm really just setting the stage) if a PC wants to be an artificer in my campaign, I'll probably...

Not to be too pedantic... hehe /useless knowledge on Interestingly enough cowboy is a translation of a spanish word, the origonal cowboys weren't american at all. Today there are still some who fill the role of Cowboys, but those are largely "non immigrant guest workers" or somesuch who are...

I'd be really tempted to metagame and worship a being only know as "The DM" in hopes that I would be heard and recieve "everything cool" :cool: EDIT: and that is a serious answer, we all know that all D&D worlds require a DM to keep the action rolling, therefore there must be some sort of...

a couple spells you post adding to wizard seem kind of "clericy" such as Holy Aura and Unholy Aura. You might want to considor making an alternate spell Arcane Aura with similar effects but without the holy / unholy sort of aspects, if that makes sense at all. mod the specifics to be...

to go a little far afield from the topic of the origonal thread - how do publishers do that sort of thing? a few alternates in UA seem to have been around forever, but I think they were in other non-OGL products. How strict are plagerism laws in regard to "the idea behind this mechanic" even...

I think for the time being I'm doing the following - fatigue and exhaustion caused by using spell points cannot be magically healed leave the rest as is in the rules, that way mages have something of an achille's heel against eachother, if the PCs figure it out, bravo to them, if they don't...

I'm largely playing Devil's Advocate about the whole "divine casters should be this, arcane should be this" bit and the whole "if wizards can do everything, why play a cleric?" when clerics already do everything :p. It's your world so whatever floats your boat :) That said, I don't think...

Say there's 3 basic roles that magic fills - Healing Damage Utility Clerics get Excellent healing, Okay damage, and Decent utility. Wizards get No healing, Excellent damage, excellent utility. If a cleric can be excellent at healing, okay at everything else, wear plate armor, use okay...

Sure, we'd usually start a spelljammer game as a spelljammer game instead of inserting it into an existing campaign world so I guess we didn't have that issue. Usually a space-port area, or some such, homebrew worlds by the DM. Maybe our characters origonated on FR, or DL, or where ever, but...

I will express the concerns about this sort of endeavor that I expressed in the Spelljammer thread, but I won't be so wordy. stay true to the setting if WoTC can't... 1 - leave out 3/3.5e elements that really don't fit the setting -and- 2 - alter classes from their vanilla 3/3.5e to reflect...

it would appear that I missed significant changes in the 2nd boxed set, I'd be told before that they were basically just a reprint and I shouldn't bother (or that they were worse than the origonal). I wasn't playing D&D much at the time it came out, so I never got it. I will need to take-back...

Just so you know, if I were a PC I would probably try to save the people, but maybe not in a way you'd expect. I will need to go on a lot of assumptions here: 1 - My group is out numbered 2 - The populace of the town is too scared to be any use freeing themselves 3 - I am "out gunned" So, what...

I've been fairly underwhelmed with fan conversions of the old settings that I've seen. It seems everyone that does them isn't happy to "Leave well enough alone and just upgrade the stats." What I mean is that in the conversions I've seen they are untrue to the origonals that I had (though...

depends on what job I'd qualified for *evil grin*... perhaps if they wanted me as a diety or somesuch hehe :p or heck, if I could have nice magical powers that'd be okay. technological knowledge of today combined with magic... my magitech empire would conquer the globe! at least until...

would there be some benefit for accepting said name? or can it be bestowed unwillingly? I'd be weary about letting some outsider randomly "name" someone and suddenly get extra control over them, unless there's a benefit too :)

so everyone gets hammered, puts on a fake beard, carries around a rubber axe, celebrates houses of ill-repute, then goes on a witch hunt? hrmmm.... :D

I'd often thought of running an altered spelljammer in which the theory that everything in space was floating in ether was true (modified phlogoston hehe), and Devinci (spelling) got to fly wacky contraptions into space with air bubbles, et cetera. I thought it'd be fun but I'm sure player...

"the only way you can stop me from sucking out the brains of your friends is to retrieve an artifact that's half a mile up the tunnle, you should run and get it" sounds reasonable to me that if it was the only way to save your friends that you'd better hoof it as soon as possible! :D I'd...

I'd CDG it... or the assassin / death attack bit.
