The 2nd edition Complete Paladin's Handbook contained a section on developing your own . . . Code of Enoblement, I think was the term. Only one of my players ever did one, but I thought it was fairly good. I will post it when I get home and can access my computer.

I would use BESM 2e, but then again I use that for almost everything nowadays. Cohen is a Combat Monster, Rincewind has Speed, Carrot has an Aura of Command, Detritus inflicts Massive Damage and is Damn Healthy!.

I'm not going to touch that one with a 10-foot pole, a hand mirror and a set of hammer and pitons. I'm not that much of a Bruce Campbell fan. :D Anyway, the whole point is pretty moot at this point anyway, as 3e has neither.

Well, under the Spells and Magic system, critical hits were generated when the target of a spell rolled a natural 3 or less on his saving throw and failed by a margin of 5 or more. When the spell didn't have a save, you rolled one anyway. (Bad mechanic, down boy, heel.) This only worked...

To be fair, I wasn't all that worked up. That's just the way I type. Np. Except for the bit about having to stay behind a wall of muscle even at high levels. It was always my opinion that no class should require the presence of another class to be effective in a game. Wizards shouldn't be...

I guess I just don't see the point. I've been playing a Forgotten Realms campaign for years and never had a use for characters above level 20. (Only a very few NPC's in our campaigns are even at level 20).

This always drives me insane. Did you use casting times for spells? Is that a yes? Why is it you like screwing your wizards? :) Seriously, though, there was a time when I did it the same way and under old skool rules the Wizards would almost never get their spells to fire off...

Hey, blame Tolkien. At least they can't do it while running cross country. I write this bit out of my campaigns Elves, and I'm usually the biggest Elf booster around. Me too. Imperial Navy forever, bay-bee.

Gnomes. Sorry, I've played 1e and 2e too long and in both of those games there was no compelling reason for Gnomes to exist. They didn't have a unique role aside from being Dwarves for people who want to max out on magic items. In my homebrewed campaign worlds, I would usually either...

Sort of. What I did in my late-era 2e campaign was work up a table based on the Weapon vs. Armor Type table (which in 2e based the adjustments on the P-S-B damage type) that gave a Damage Reduction based on the type of armor worn vs. the various damage types.

Wizards are my favorite overall, but Rogues are pretty damn close. Barbarians do indeed suck.

Yay :D Lol. Anyway, yes, it is always "DM" in D&D. Dee-Em would also be a fairly passable name for a Kryptonian. Whereas Gee-Em sounds like a Kryptonians pet goldfish.

You can download Spycraft Lite, a reasonably complete (minus GM section) preview of AEG's forthcoming Shaowforce Archer game HERE. It is a modern / near future game of espionage and international adventure in the vein of the old Top Secret, SI. I am really impressed with the Spycraft Lite...

All of these posts from people who *gasp* didn't like the original Spelljammer is just weirding me out beyond belief. My worldview is shaken to the core. Next thing you know, someone is going to tell me their favorite song from El Hazard isn't "Boys Be Free" The whole world has gone mad.

BESM as well, although even though it doesn't stick to a single genre, the entire game has a certain "feel". Seriously, check out SPYCRAFT if you haven't done so already. The preset campaign setting is promising all sorts of Magic and Psionic weirdness, but the classes and basic rules look...

Meh. M. E. H. Meh.

Just got done digesting www.seriesarcher.com and let me say that d20 Spycraft looks really, really good. I'm not sure about d20 Modern. It looks like they've tried too hard to be generic, wheras Spycraft is focused much better into a single concept.

Wait, wait, wait, wait wait. Gold dragons have WINGS now? :)

Really? I would think that Green Tea would be better.

Thank you for the help. Happy elf :D
