Otus and Elmore! It wasn't an option, but that's what I would vote for. :)

Re: Re: d4 campaign This is something I alluded to in my earlier post. Building on some of the other ideas presented... "Pure" d4 types would be immune to the effects (perhaps projecting a field of a certain radius). Mundanes would have to make a Save at various intervals. Mundanes with 1...

Truth. Or... 1-- You could posit that these d4 types generate a field of a certain radius (when alive!) that protects mundanes from these harmful effects. This would open up the possibility of allowing Fighters, Rogues, etc. to accompany them--and talk about a motivation for protecting the...

Just a minor point, the Dex adjustment was used when figuring initiative for missile fire. ;) I actually think the implementation of weapon speeds in 1e was fairly elegant. Leaving aside spellcasting, they only came in to play when both combatants were using weapons and the initiative die rolls...

Here's a little thread over at Dragonsfoot that you might be able to get going again. I'll reiterate some of my comments here... I haven't read the novels yet, but others seem to think it's pretty faithful to the feel. I've heard a few state that they thought magic was handled better in the...

Though I no longer play 3e, I remember that I had to make a conscious effort to ignore the art before I gave it a try. One of my single biggest complaints wrt 3e; and, while it may seem a superficial one, it truly ruins the "feel" for me. I'll also join what others have said and say that I...

I think the people expressing a bit of disappointment over this do have some basis for it. I suspect it wouldn't be nearly as great if it weren't for the fact that it is coming so soon. The price of the 3 core books represents a sizable investment for many--and they expect it to remain...

Just curious... Do y'all think the changes will be as significant as, say, those made when going from 1e to 2e?

I think this is probably it... http://pub95.ezboard.com/bgreyhawk47500

*****INCOMING MESSAGE FOR THE COLONEL***** Hey Colonel Hardisson, Just ran across a thread over in house rules asking you a question... HERE *****END MESSAGE*****

If memory serves... 1e: The original :) 2e: A "cleaned up" 1e (So I've heard, I've never actually seen this one though.) 3e: New game using the colored chart mechanic so popular (with TSR anyway) in the mid-80's (Similar to MSH, Zebulon's Guide, Conan, etc...). 4e: Good clean mechanics...

RUNE has an entry, and extensive rules, for using your foe's severed arm as a weapon to beat him to death. If it's something you want to encourage in your campaign, the trick is probably to have a mechanic that will leave him alive long enough to beat him to death :D 3e doesn't have a mechanic...

I came up with this a few years ago, and have posted it a few times since when this topic has come up again... HELMETS (The underlying assumption being, that wearing a helmet doesn't make you any harder to hit; but when a threat is scored a disproportionate...

Oh, I don't know... In England, yeoman werew required by law to practice, practice, practice with the longbow indefinitely, in order to achieve and maintain the ability to strike a man-sized target at 200 paces or so. I think most of our experience (including mine) in scouts and what not, is...

Let's see... Cowardly wizard continuously risks comrades' lives by taking inappropriate actions in combat. Said actions have, in fact, already resulted in serious bodily harm to comrades. As wizard has chosen to ignore comrades' pleas that he refrain from such reckless conduct, they have...

I don't know about 3e, but for AD&D they all can be found in the Fiend Folio...

Hey Fourecks, It looks great. I'll start an account later--my server seems a bit slow right now. You might think about announcing this over at Dragonsfoot as well--we've got quite a few 1e Greyhawk fans there, but no forum dedicated specifically to Greyhawk.

Perhaps. Assuming that the class is 'balanced' to begin with, what would you have them lose in order to gain this ability? Or perhaps they should gain something in addition to the increased spell ability when having their HD reduced? If the latter is the case, perhaps the Ranger could also...

How about allowing a choice upon reaching 4th level (or whenever spellcasting is gained)... If the character chooses to concentrate more on magical ability--thereby granting him a higher effective caster level--his base HD for that class will thereafter be reduced one step (ex. d10-->d8). If...
