I've ruled that for falling you have to roll the distance fallen or higher on percentage dice or die. If they voluntarily jump I give them a +20% to the roll. If the roll is made and an additional saving throw at -1 for every 10 feet is made, they can walk away with damage equal to their HP...

You could always house rule in the AD&D rule where evil clerics can turn paladins and send them fleeing. :D

Google maps. Find a market town that you like and fill it in with what ever you desire.

For a difference you might consider having druids following a place spirit, such as the River Woman, Man of the Woods, etc.... Clerics could then following an emotional spirit, the Spirit of Love, Spirit of Hate, etc....

You could say that gods can do anything they want to, for, they are gods after all. However, the "domains" that they prefer are merely their chosen method of testing their faithful. It is simply part of their personality. Though who can truly understand the nature and motivations of the gods?

We once played in a realm set in the Castle Perilous novels. Another group ran a campaign with the deities based on the Cry for Dawn comics.

Player "Why is she doing that?" Me "Who are you talking about?" Player "The girl I just spoke to." Me "You know you just spoke to four girls. Can you tell me her name?" Player "Umm I forgot to write it down, anyone know it?"

There was once a ranger character who acquired a ring that let her turn into a swan. She thought it a great idea to sneak around as a swan to spy out other groups. Until the half orcs shot her with a critical and cooked her for dinner. Her paladin/bard lover ended up going mad when he realized...

I trap/obstacle three main areas Places where very few people go: Why does the Viscountess keep the old tower locked? Old ruinous places: A burned out castle where the floor may or may not collapse. Things people should not touch/play with: You have the baron's lock box, what did you expect...

If there is to be a warlord I would like to see one that actually gains soldiers each level so that the player can go war about something or other. Perhaps gaining men at arms in a similar manner to the AD&D cavalier class. In addition upon reaching a certain number of troops the warlord would...

We use the paths from Talislanta as backgrounds and Talislanta's skill list. We have expanded the experience point level to slow progression and award one improvement point per thousand experience points that can be used to purchase new skills or improve existing skills and attributes. Similar...

The Elven paladin Elenestil. She was a tomboy who did all the things she felt her older studious mage brothers never or could not do. As the only daughter she was doted on and spoiled. She used her gifts and abilities to protect her country from a necromancer cambion warlord to the best of her...

Minimally as a house rule you could compare which slots were used and reduce each spell accordingly. A slot 3 sleet storm versus a slot 5 fireball results in the sleet storm being "cancelled out" and a slot 2 fireball.

For us there is no "level" to retire at. Instead when a character's story arc ends the character is put aside. Often then becoming a npc or alternate character to bring in during downtime or if something happens in the overall story that causes a return. For example: the knight who starts out...

As an additional option you can increase the number of skills in the game to achieve this result as well. While at the same time removing the majority of the +X feats as well.

A character despised every time he spoke, might turn to despicable actions such as becoming an assassin.

In our game the Hells, the Abyss, etc are all the same place. The difference is that demons were already there. A demon's appearance is rather random, very much like the AD&D chart in Dragon 13. Devils are those who betrayed their superiors, who are punished with exile and in appearance are...

A non lethal weapon, for, you cannot mug someone multiple times if you kill them.

To soothe your paladin... :p There were dragons, dragons, dragons in the air. There were wyverns, wyverns, wyverns in the woods. There were orcs, orcs, orcs everywhere. And they killed our party for we were lawful good.

We adapted and modified the Shadowrun spell creation rules. Perhaps this will work for you as well.
