My world has just Elven (chaos), Dwarven (law), Draconic (neutral), and Common. Most people, including elves and dwarves just speak common. Some humans speak Draconic. Outsiders speak the language associated with alignment. So by race/culture, with the primary language listed first...

D&D does not cover the past. It doesn't even cover standard fantasy or mythology. It covers Diablo and little more. Like many others, I am writing my own d20 Fantasy using inspiration from d20 Modern. They really should make a d20 Fantasy. I won't buy more D&D books (I only bought the 3.0...

Instead of dealing damage negative levels might be cooler.

"If I naturally have DR5/Cold Iron or Good, and I pick up a thingey that grants DR5/Good, does my DR change from Cold Iron or Good to Cold Iron AND Good, or does nothing happen and I'm wasting my time with the item?" Nope, you end up with DR5/Good. The fact that Cold Iron could get through...

Well since the average campaign lasts under a year, I would come out with a new campaign boxed set every year. There would be aventure support for that year and then a new campaign setting would be released. Sometimes I would use an older setting, for example Dark Sun. I would start it back...

high fantasy: good vs evil, magic is wonderous and uncommon, good vs evil, the common man, Tolkein, oh and good vs evil low fantasy: loot, magic is just another tool, mercenaries, D&D

you are doing the hp and skill point calculations all wrong. Let's say that at 2nd level I want a level each of barbarian and rogue. To keep things simple I have no Int or Con bonus (not that it matters) If I go rogue first I have 32+4=36 skill points If I go barbarian first I have 16+8=24...

Evil people going to fight orcs? Yahoo. Now you just need to trail them and after the battle you kill the winners. That is the LG way. Good is about destroying evil, either by destroying it directly (converting) or by destroying the vessel that holds it (killing).

Long ago there was a war with a pair of demons, Voiceless and Sightless, they were imprisoned. Now it seems that Voiceless's influence is surfacing. His order of blackguards has been reincarned into gorillas (who are secretly destroying wilderness villages one by one) and he also has a force...

well judging from how a lot of people want to play them I would say "any evil". I think that "any" would be best, but the current situation is nearly as good.

whoohoo, go Dark Sun!

I was thinking of doing a system with damage saves. First determine if you hit: Attack roll = 1d20+Dex+Str+BAB (hey why argue? Just add both) vs Defense = 10+Dex+Shield+Base Defense Bonus Ok now you hit, time to determine if you hurt the guy: Damage = 1d20+Weapon+Str+Base Damage Bonus vs...

Using that logic far too many spells are transmutation. I use divination to learn a secret. My brain has changed. Ever see the 2e spell lists? Half the spells were transmutation.

Well I don't own UA (just skimmed it a bit), but for ranger I would require the Track feat. Also by martial, do you simply mean low magic? Or do you mean low magic low and low skill points? Just asking because some people prefer the 3.0 ranger. Since favored enemy seems to be a big part of...

Get rid of the x4 thing at first level. It just gives those who are good at the skill a 3 point jump. What I do is give everyone half max hp per level, x1 skill points, no +2 bump on saves. Then I give them a level of their racial paragon to compensate. Well, plus I changed the whole system...

Yeah I agree, fluff is awesome. Also awesome is stuff that helps you become a better DM. For example the 2e book the Complete Book of Villains. It was 100% tips and techniques with excellent examples. I do like a setting book to include some rules, but mostly tweaks or restrictions, in the...

BAB +5 Knowledge(Religion) 2 ranks, Ride 2 ranks LG alignment Must slay or convert a poweful being of great evil (outsider, intelligent undead, etc...) Must make a sacrifice for the cause of good (losing something, giving up an opportunity, have to kill an evil friend, etc...)

oh ok thanks, now everything is cleared up. I guess a mix of d20 and OGL products is the way to go then. I was confused because Buy the Numbers is listed in the d20 section of RPG Now.

Hmm ok, yeah maybe I should just leave it up to the individual DMs to figure out. My system is basic d20 except that nearly all of the modifiers are removed and the rules are relaxed to put the DM back into the game, none of this rule-oriented play. Basically there is no math and no need to...

The d20 license says that you can't talk about making characters or going up in level. This is to require the purchase of the PHB or Modern book. Ok but what if I want to modify the process? For example, instead of rolling/buying ability scores I use a default array and change the rate at...
