Item creation suggestion This could work, although it reminds me more of the herbal rules in 2nd ed. Bunnies and Burrows than a MMORG, per se. Note, however, that if you use this sort of rule set, you are intrisically coorelating the value of the ingredients to the value of the stuff you can...

More ideas The primary problem, as I see it, with the class you've presented is that far too many of the abilities are based off of fascinate. Fascinate is difficult to use in combat, which means that there are relatively few combat abilities. This does not mean that I'm suggesting removing...

Bard 3.51 Inspire Fear - seems a bit strong for LV 3. I'd limit the number of targets to a maximum of, say, 1/3 the bard's level. Parry - fairly complex rule for emulating, basically, a miss chance. I'd just give the Bard a +1 to Dodge AC/5-6 LV, or +1/4 if you want to limit it significnatly...

I agree that something should be done about perform, at least for Bards. Your solution sounds reasonable. My issue with both of the above is that quite simply, they have little impact on a Bard's power. At low levels, skills matter. In general, multiclassing major or moderate spellcasters is a...

High-level feats More combat-based feats that are useful and only obtainable at high levels. Iron Heroes has a number of examples, as does Iron Might. There are few in most WOTC products. As for your suggested feats, I do not like feats that tend to force a PC to 1 particular weapon (like...

Favored classes Runethane (AE/AU) Druid (D&D) Why? Because that's what I've been playing most recently for any significant amount of time.

Astral construct CRs with special abilities Conclusion: The CRs should be: Construct level 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Listed CR 0.5 1 2 3 5 7 8 9 10 Correct CR 2 2 3 4 7 8 10 10 12 Note that the CR for the Following...

Analysis of CR for Astral Constructs The last several posts I made form the foundation for this one. Assuming that no speicial abilities are chosen that affect their combat stats, what is the approparite CR for the astral contructs? Conclusion: The CRs should be: Construct level 1 2 3...

Methodology nitpick Fair enough. I'm still on the question of if Astral Contructs are too strong for their CR. Judging from how long it's taken me so far, I suspect it'll be another 1-2 weeks before I can fully and throughly answer that question :-) And, yes, I agree with multiple posters that...

Ot According to a few searches and my recollection, yes. Development was stopped due to a lawsuit by T.S.R. Back On topic: If I understand your clarifications correctly, GURPS is the only game you define as Generic that I've played or read. I tend to dislike its having linear modifiers for...

Poorly Phrased Title I'm afraid that the poll title didn't match your question; so I voted (from the main page) for "Something else" - being the Dangerous Journeys system. The problems for your situtation are: 1) It is no longer supported, published, or avalible. 2) There is no generic "core"...

Astral Construct desired CRs Once I finish this (frankly, most of the work is data entry of the creatures into a spreadsheet), I think I'd like to use that data to re-estimate more accurate CRs for these creatures. The other side of this question, of course, is "What CR should a level X power...

I agree on all points except the first (which I submit varies wildly by DM - in the campaign in question we did an encounter with dozens of opponents at LV 1). I think the conclusion largely holds when there aren't a large number of creatures, although Horrid Wilting has advantages in specific...

I'd love to help, but I'm unclear as to how you're getting your data; is this SRD creatures, creatures from MM1, or from some other source or combination of sources? I'm assuming that by "average" you mean "arithmetic mean" (i.e. the sum of the numbers divided by the number of numbers)? I'm also...
