Use narrow columns Morrus- I think the menus are fine, but I much prefer a narrower column of text for the news. I'm pretty sure that usability experts have decided that it is much easier on the eyes to have narrow columns of text rather than a line that stretches out the width of a page. If I...

In my Heroic Greece campaign, I've made a shortspear wieldable one-handed as a martial weapon. Doesn't seem too imbalancing to me; essentially it is a (throwable) long sword with a 20x3 crit instead of a 19-20x2. I've also got Pikes, which are longspears with 15 foot reach, but only threaten 3...

Pike ? Have any of you used the very long pike (sarissa) in your Greek campaign? I am considering including it with the following statistics: Pike: This spear is so long that it has 15 foot reach. It is so unwieldy that it only threatens three adjacent squares at that distance. Changing the...

Word, your email appears to be bouncing. BM

I have actually just begun a campaign in heroic age Greece, so I happen to have a bunch of facts on hand: Armor: As mentioned above, Greek hoplites wore bronze helmet, bronze breastplate or linothrax (linen stiffened with resins), bronze and tin hoplons, and (usually) tin greaves. The reason...

Dire Goat? Any possibility to see a dire goat?

No, this is not a joke. I am actually looking for stats for 3 different kinds of goats: 1. Your ordinary barnyard goat, perhaps gone feral; 2. The Rocky Mountain Big-Horn Sheep; 3. The ferocious Dire Goat.

Wealth Domain The trade domain doesn't really work for me. I need a domain for Hades, a god of the underworld and stored (or hidden) wealth, especially mineral wealth in its raw form; this wealth is both secret and protected. So far, I've got the following: 1. Silent Image 2. Obscure Object...

Which spells Falcon- Which spells specifically did you transfer from the Sor/Wiz to the Cleric list? I am about to start a campaign with no arcane casters at all. So far, the only really important one I can think of that must be transferred over is Identify. BM

I need a Wealth Domain, and I'm hoping someone out there has already created one. Also, I believe there was a big list of homebrew domains that was floating around a while ago. Does anybody still have it? Thanks, BMcDaniel

Chainmail monsters in MM2? Anyone know is the gallows gaunt will be in MM2. I love the idea of an undead created from hung criminal and the gallows that hung him.

More powerful than Soul Bind This spell is more powerful than Soul Bind, a 9th level spell that is very close to this spell, except that you have to kill the target first. Also I note that in the description you apparently left in a reference to Trap the Soul where you copied it over for the...

Mmadsen- I just finished a game that was rougly based on a cross between republican Rome and early byzantine Rome. I found the following books useful: * Ships and Seafaring in Ancient Times, Lionel Casson. 4 stars if you are interested in the topic. * Byzantium: The Early Centuries, John...

Summoning Spells I tried to induce more use of the summoning spells by expanding the number of summonable critters and increasing the duration to concentration + 1 rd/level. Sadly nobody still takes the spells. For those interested, I've attached my list of summonable critters. I allow any of...

My Homebrew I'm the author of 85% of these. Others are collected from the boards or wherever. I apologize for the imperfect formatting... Animate Body Part Necromancy Evil Level: Sor/Wiz 0 Cleric 0 Components: V Casting Time: 1 action Range...

MV limited to +5 bonuses From Magic Vestment: From: Magic Armor My interpretation is that Speed, Fortification, Calling, etc are all "effective bonuses" not "armor bonuses", and thus a 15h level Magic Vestment cast on a +1 armor of Speed, Calling, Quickness becomes +5 armor of Speed...

You can also stack it with It also stacks with Magic Vestment (and someone with +8 armor can easily afford to have Magic Vestment cast at 15th level to get the full +5 bonus). It probably also stacks with a bunch of other magic items and spells found in various supplements and whatnot. IMHO a...

Play-Doh Monsters in Dragon Dragon magazine once published a game based on Play-doh monsters (It would have to be around '88 I believe). Basically you sculpted a monster out of play-doh, guestimated it according to a set of guidelines and then went for an all-out melee brawl. IIRC every time...
