Thanks, Kenjib. I think that's a good way to go. What I'm getting at, though, is, how do you set "how much" these types of abilities should cost? That's my main question - trying to figure out how much a certain ability is "worth" in terms of an XP cost or whatever (that will eventually be...

Thanks for all of your help. What I'm really looking for here is something that was done in the "Player's Guide to Kalamar" book. In the section on religion, there is a table wherein a character can "advance" in the church by paying a small XP costs to gain a small ability, such as free access...

Sorry to bump this but it fell to the second page already! Anyone else have any ideas? Also, any word on which issue of Dragon discussed this topic?

Which issue of Dragon?

I'm working on something wherein players can gain certain small abilities or "powers" by paying XP costs. I've seen this done in various other d20 products but I'm wondering how to figure out how much XP the PC should have to pay to gain the powers/abilities. Any thoughts on how to figure this...

I took a writing class once and the instructor said that whenever someone asks, "What do you do?" my answer should be "I'm a writer." So, there ya go. My job that pays the bills is in the media planning department of a major advertising agency here in Los Angeles; we figure out things like...

Thanks - that helps. I'm thinking also of something like a business-person who has to make a presentation to his co-workers or to his management. What skills would be appropriate for that? Also - what about the writing thing? I'd think a professional writer would be Profession (Writer), but...

Let's say a character has to stand in front of a group of people and present something he's found in an ancient text or journal. What skill(s) would he use: * Perform * Profession (relevant to the topic being discussed) * Knowledge (relevant to the topic being discussed) * Something else...

Hi - I don't have the new books yet but I seem to remember reading somewhere that the Peform skill has changed (as in you no longer get one performance type per rank). Can someone explain the difference between the 3.0 version and the 3.5 version? Thanks!

It was part of the "Pulp Adventures" game in Polyhedron. Maybe that game doesn't have the leadership feat, so your only choice is to take either "Minions" or "Sidekick"? It's based on D20 Modern, which I don't own. Is there a D20 Modern equivalent of "Leadership"?

I'm working on something right now and found two feats that are similar to the Leadership Feat (3.0 version). The two feats are from Dungeon #90. One is called "Minions". It's basically the "Leadership" feat but strips away the Cohort and just gives followers. However, the Pre-Reqs are the...

Here's what I do: immediately after buying any RPG books (preferably shrink-wrapped so I have absolutely no idea what's inside), I send them off to be graded and then packed into a sealed plastic container which I then place in a vault. I do the same thing with my comics. I mean, can you...

*bump*

Okay, now what about... ... ClassCalc? Same thing but for classes and Prestige Classes. I didn't see it on Soldarin's site. Thanks for the link to the race calculator on your site. I always found that program very helpful.

Now I'm looking for the old ClassCalc site that used to be at http://www.custoscogitatum.com/classcalc.cfm Can anyone help? ***************************** Does anyone know where the old RaceCalc site moved? It used to be at http://www.custoscogitatum.com/racecalc.cfm but that URL's not...

So, let's say this is a new writer... ...with no proven track record (meaning that the PDF that you're paying him/her to write is the first thing he/she will have written). What kind of rates are appropriate then? I suspect less than 3 cents per word, since that's what the "professionals"...

Hey, thanks! I appreciate your quick answer. It does seem a little weird, though - I feel kinda strange using someone else's feats, PrCs, etc. and not pointing out where I got it from so if someone sees it in my work and likes it, they can check out the original source. But, I guess that's...

Hopefully a quick question: I'm working on some stuff that would involve re-distributing some Open Game Content from a few other companies, but I wanted to change some of the wording so that it "fits" better with my campaign world. I have two specific questions: 1) Is it okay to change the...

Back in 2000 when I first started working on WotC advertising, one of my co-workers mentioned wanting to learn how to play so that she could "know the product". I dug out a campaign world that I'd been tinkering with for the past 15 years or so but never really used for gaming and grabbed my...
