Back when PHBII came out we turned all non-combat spells into incantations (rituals if you prefer), so the spellcasters only filled their slots with damage type spells (with a few obvious exceptions like feather fall). We also added their level and abilitiy bonus (i.e. Int, Wis, or Chr) to the...

...or some of the non-Christian religions of today. ;)

We have been using it for a while now. There is nothng unbalancing about it. In fact, I got rid of bard spells and just added songs and at mid-way through the bard progression added an ability that allowed them to entwine two songs together. One song adds to their hit bonus another to...

There are some errors and the cobra and monkey monk styles are switched. Neat ideas though.

We have been doing this for a while and it has been working fine (the characters made it to 18th level before we ended the campaign). ~ Characters get a single attack and add 1/2 their BAB in damage. For 2-weapon fighters they divided their damage bonus between the two weapons with the primary...

The gestalt character option in the core books (DMG I believe) is virtually the same; to make it just like what you are looking for, just double the number of experience points needed for each level. Yes, people are using it. The last campaign I ran used it. The experience...like everything...

I can think of a number of ways this could play out. I have a different take on "you can", however; more like "you are allowed to" take more as long as it does not succeed the limit; I do not think it means the target may leave his clothes behind for example. In any case, if the harpoon is...

Let me start by saying that I have not actually tried E6 yet, but we will be using it in a month or so. That being said, they should not be able to manage anything greater then +2 as far as I can tell, and I had already added an additional "level" of requirements for magic items if you will. The...

"However, your player's definition of repentance is more accurate than yours strictly speaking since it means "passionately regret your action and sin no more" Don't get me wrong, I stand by what I said as the correct definition. You would be hard pressed to study any religion that teaches...

You are a stubborn one...take it as you wish, but acknowledge that your player's definition is just as valid. I only was pointing out that it is there and you were choosing to ignore it. Common to ignore...I pointed that out already as well. There are a lot of great ideas here...just don't let...

There is nothing wrong with the bolded part, it is just that it is only part of the recipe. If you want to make a cake with just eggs and leave out the flour it is up to you. As for this part: "Which if I am not mistaken is why you felt atonement might be necessary in the first place...because...

Here is one reference point with scriptures if you wish to go that route http://www.studylight.org/dic/hbd/view.cgi?number=T5304 , but frankly it is summed up in the first sentence: "A feeling of regret, a changing of the mind, or a turning from sin to God." The later part is the key point...

Your choice of course...personally I find using a secular source for a religious idea (albeit of the fantasy variety) somewhat amusing...

Kind of tricky this one...bottom line you are the DM so what you say stands. However, your player's definition of repentence is more accurate than yours strictly speaking since it means "passionately regret your action and sin no more" (though that is probably immaterial for the situation at...

I could be mistaken, but it seems to me the mechanics for these things ARE in the new system. Wasn't there some mention of anything you wanted/needed to do only required an ability check that included a bonus equal to 1/2 your level? So if you want to dig a moat and you are 8th level it could be...

It will work; the only thing that could be "unbalancing" would be save bonuses rather than skill bonuses.

I still believe this to be the better option (from previous thread): Option 4: Assign an adjustment that must be added to the Caster level check for each meta-magic feat. I do not know what the level adjustments are off the top of my head, but I would say if it usually makes the spell 4 levels...

It is unfortunate that people resort to "name calling." There will always be the "newer is better" group. There will always be the "it still works why change it" group. You will like what you do, and dislike what you don't. There really is no right or wrong. Personally, I don't hate it ... I...

Quicken Spell is probably the one feat I would remove from the game if there is no spell limit. It might be ok...I still prefer adding to the difficulty level myself.

Problem 1: You should probably change Magic Missile and any other non-save auto-hit spells. Ranged touch attack is fine. You could try to limit it to 1 missile, but when they would have received a 2nd missile, the die size increases (i.e. d4+1, then d6+1 then d8+1,..., ending with d12+1)...
