    Just *how* big is that gold piece again?

    If you realy want to blow peoples minds .... use the old english monitary system. Pre-decimalisation, the Pound was divided into 240 pennies rather than 100, though it was rarely expressed in this way. Rather it was expressed in terms of Pounds, Shillings and Pence, where: £1 = 20 shillings...

    How to apply damage?

    Weapon damage is counted all together first. Then you apply sneak attack simple dagger. 1d4 -3 (minimum 1) + 2D6(sneak) critical damage: 1d4 -3 (minimum 1) + 1d4 -3 (minimum 1) + 2D6(sneak) A GM would have to be very silly to penalize a character's damage because he got an exceptionaly good...

    Just *how* big is that gold piece again?

    Coins have vairied in size and wieght throught history. The standard gold piece of each realm will have different wieght purity and value. A single gold piece in one country could be worth 20x the value of another countries courency. Personaly I like the idea of large valuable coins worth 5x 20x...

    Magic Change

    I would hope you are going to give the mages a significant power up after doing this. Loosing 40% of there available spells is going to hurt alot. I have long felt that Arcane casters are at a huge disadvantage compaired to other classes and I have been concidering making them a -1 ECL.

    Metamagic Feats - do you use them?

    I have never liked Metamagic feats much. They have alwasy seem very costly for what you get out of them. I normaly don't use them until I start using level 5 spells. At that point a quickened MM and empowered fireball looks like a pretty nasty one two punch.

    How much grain can you get in an acre?

    It realy depends on what grains you are producing. Also lbs don't mean much to farmers because they are paid by the bushel. If the grain is heavy that means to much moisture and a lower price. With modern meathods, seeds and fertalisers... Wheat 30 B/A Barley 45 B/A Sorghum 70 B/A Corn 120 B/A...

    gambling and alignment

    You bring up some very good points. The problem with using the Dictionaries definition is that is based on a single "axis of evil" :rolleyes: In DND we have TWO axis to define moral behavior. Try to use both of them when ever you can. Chaos/Law - Fun Good/Evil - Life LG - We must protect...

    gambling and alignment

    Why is it that people automaticly place anything some over moralistic church is against as Evil? I have a basic rule of thumb Sins that deal with property and money and fun fall on the Law/Chaos axis These are all sins (with a small s) Gambling Prositution Drunkeness Theft Sins that deal with...

    Mystic Theurge - how's it playing?

    Looking at the class from a Play Balance viewpoint. Level 1-2 You are equal to any of the other characters 3-6 The split between classes becomes painful. You are casting level 1 and the rare level 2 spell when others are getting level 3 7 Finaly made it! Your casting level for both sets of...

    Free class skills for clerics based on deity.

    I think giving them an additional class skill based on religion is a great idea. Adding additional bonuses is a bad idea. I love clerics but they definatly do not need any boost in power.

    HELP! My gaming group is in trouble!

    Personaly I think this dispute is between the player and the DM. I don't feel it is the DMs job to create player disputes..... The divission of treasure is always something that should be done IN CHARACTER! Often times my group will award all or most of a treasure to one player because he can...

    "The Gnomes will ride.. Bunnies?"

    Everyone knows Gnomes ride war badgers!

    Knowledge (local)

    I like to give out extra skills also. In my case it is +1/ level that can only be applied to ride, swim, craft, or a proffession and all of these skills are concidered class skills for everyone. Most of my players pick a trade to master while others use it to add to the "out doorsy" nature.

    Mystic Theurge - how's it playing?

    Personaly I feel that would kill the class. For the first 6 levels you become increasingly weaker compaired to any other character class in your party. by the time you hit level 5 Mystic you are just hitting your stride. If you had to goback to mage or cleric again the character would become...

    Does DR stack/overlap?

    It seems strange that the DR of a Vampire would be that much more effective than a high level Devil

    Does DR stack/overlap?

    That is why I concider the description so poor. How would you describe a DR that could be reduced by either? DR 10/Silver or Magic? Maybe but I have never seen a description writen that way. I would prefer a standardised description that lists the effect followed by the limitations. DR 10...
