So what sort of spells do I need to be able to make my own type of magical beasts, such as owl bears and the like? I figure wizard is the best way to go since: Druids are played in an antithical fashion and are at a DM's good will -- a lot! The Alchemy/Knowledge combo is even more at a DM's...

Fiddle with the Craft Armor/Weapons feat. Give the feat a new prequestie "Dwarf 5th level" and let Dwarven characters only make enhancement bonuses to new armor and weapons they make. I always wondered how some people thought Dwarves where magic proof, but they could use runes to enchant items.

Because if I don't want magic in my setting (which does 4000 in DND), I need psionics to pick up the work load. With "4000" to pick from, I think I'll find the right thing for the right goal.:D My only beef with AEG's psionic rules is more the product delivery, it is a third tier product. i.e...

Ya gotta love that conflicting fluff. There is a whole segment of Space Marines, the Grey Knights that are pskyic and fight demons, as does any Space Marine force thats around the Eye of Terror. So tibits I can think of. Hyperspace is the "Warp" is a psykic dimenson where the evil gods dwell...

:D He He, yeah, that is on my list. Unfortunately, I blew $70 on getting Spyrcraft’s psionic rules. So T20 is going to have to wait. No offense, but since I have Star Wars, Farscape and other d20 SF, I have to cut down for Xmas cash. I agree, but I seem to remember getting more out of my...

I struck d20 Modern off my list last week, mostly because my core ideas for the game would fit a d20 "Future" game and most of the excitement in the forum is over the magical permutations of d20 Modern. It seems a lot of people think d20 Modern means DND Modern. As an example, I posted on the...

Well, I use "cut scenes" all the time. Cut scenes are where I stop the action, ususaly on a cliffhanger before a fight with some minor thugs. Then I describe a scene invovling the villians and how close they are on the heels of the players, or perhaps a clue about the villian's upcoming plan.

Yeah, I guess LN would work. The orc varient I devised was based of a romantized version of the Mongols. They had a funky pole weapon that could be used a quarterstaff, short lance, and a spear. Another twist I had planned was that the leaders were very honorable to each other and those who...

Last I heard, they were waiting (but not holding their breath) to see if Henson was going to reup the licence, since the original contract was for just the basic book. That book, was actually trimmed down so that Henson would have less to work to do and the book would get out quicker. I think...

Re: 'Scaper stories Nope, you have no proof that I used that story. I just got really lucky, :) Well I had another group go through the same episode, and it ended quite differently. We had a team from Earth try to recreate John's experiment, which they did, too succesfuly. They ended up in...

Templar Knights lead a few troops here and there, I heard. And there were a few militant bishops I heard. And the Templars are the ones paladins are based on.

If you want to stretch the defination of sci fi, the Big Eyes Small Mouth has several sci fi anime settings (Dominon Tank Police), as well as there are several scifi powers in their more general BESM 2nd ed. book. There is also the upcoming Muntants and Masterminds supers book put out by Green...

I've played a druid before. I wasn't that impressed with reliance of the class on the GM's good will. My GM doesn't seem that focused on a "give everyone a day in the sun" philosphy. I think the only reason he didn't make me switch characters was because I was the healer. Otherwise, he wasn't...

After getting rebuffed countless times for asking to play a Psi warrior, I decided to try a themed sorcerer (loved the ideas on this thread) and a more combat orientated class mix. Question is, which class should I take to complement the sorcerer? The fighter, rouge or ranger? I admit I like...

I feel for you, too. So my question is, what does your wife do while have your guy time? I married a woman who appeared to game, but once we were married she decided that it was time to "grow up." And the gaming had to go as we spent 24/7 with each other, with her the center of my attention...

Welcome to the problem of "leveling" in DND, a lack of a consistant power level in the game. At it's worst, DM have to create bigger and badder monsters to give the PCs a challenge. One of the things I liked in Earthdawn was that the PC were automaticaly considered to have magic -- the...

But if you are trying to snag a new audience, they need something familar looking. Ideally, it would be a "complete" rpg with board game-like "dungeon tiles," figs (hey, remember Space Crusade with the detachable weapons?) and dice, with as few "weird" dice as possible. Why the...

*Snaps fingers* Dragon strike! TSR did put out a "Hero Quest"/beginners DND game that sat on the shelf at Wal-Mart. It was a game with plastic figs, a reusable map, d20 dice sets, pregens and I think you could "level" up. It came with a video that set up the story. Seeing as I am the only...

Players don't design adventures, DMs do. Okay first off, I am not disagreeing that the idea of "DND Lite" is a bad concept -- it intrigues me. But I am disagreeing that you need a C-note to play 3e as is and I don't think that your "casual DND (player? DM? make up your mind!)" example is the...
