I've noticed that most of the characters I make are either neutral or chaotic, but rarely lawful. I've thought about it and I think I am doing this because it is easier for me to understand the neutral & chaotic alignments. How can I make more lawful characters without ending up making them...

For orc females, I fancy this one from Warcraft III.

That's 87 years in terms of an elf's lifespan, not a human's. ;) Besides, old Drow need love too...

Yes...especially if it were Teagan of Dungeon Crawl, inc!

Sorry bout that Umbran. I edited my post :o

Yeah, I use HeroMachine 2.0 for all my characters!

United States & Australia.

There are some bardic music feats in Complete Adventurer. Edit: Also, have you seen the feat compendium on Wizards' website? (http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/lists/feats) You can sort by several parameters and search for keywords.

Nordic Álfar elves for me too.

Wow, best one I've seen in a while. Favorite quotes... 1. "My money's on Death Knight" 2. "Show me on the doll where she touched you" 3. "Hi...what's your name?"

The old TSR Castle Guide mentions castle staff as well as a host of other castle-related information. It's available for download from wizards: http://www.wizards.com/dnd/files/CASTLE.ZIP

Thanks everyone for your replies so far. I can tell you have put a lot of thought into your magic systems. These ideas are refreshing for me, because I was having trouble defining magic while avoiding stereotypes and cliches. Please keep 'em coming!

I've been thinking about this for a while...what distinguishes magic from some other nonmagical, yet powerful ability? Is magic more fluff or crunch? Magic is sometimes usable at will, at other times it is greatly limited. Some people like the feel of low-magic campaigns, others prefer...

I think that statement sums up how I feel as well. If you define "undead" as innately evil, the way a demon or devil might be, then dispatching these undead might be understandable. Since it is given that the monks and priests were undead and LN, I don't think the innately evil paradigm works...

BroccoliRage: Thanks for your list. I got 1e Oriental Adventures a few weeks ago and really liked it, so I will keep those other books in mind for the future :cool:

I think there have been questions about its balanced-ness, but the Fochlucan Lyricist prestige class from Complete Adventurer permits full spell progression for arcane and divine simultaneously. IIRC, there are a lot of prereqs for it though.

Follow-Up You guys have persuaded me - I just ordered the book. Thanks, everyone, for your help.

I like the concept a lot. However I would prefer to implement it in a qualitative rather than quantitative way. By just tying it to, say, DR it becomes just another statistic for min-maxers & powergames to optimize. Rather, I'd prefer to focus on making bad things tend to happen more to the...
