An interesting idea --- we did something similar for ritual spells, but the idea of applying it to magic items hadn't crossed our wee minds. Hmmmmmmmmm. This leads to the possibility of expanding item powers with an XP cost (much as one might apply metamagic feats to a spell). Say you need...

In a similar vein, when we first played BD&D we misinterpreted the THAC0 chart and concluded that you needed an 11 or better to hit *any* target. I figured something was wrong when I realized that those were the same odds as flipping a coin --- ahhh, to be ten years old again.

How about The Survivor? Your backstory involves humans being relegated to a dark age but surviving anyway. The Survivor does what it takes to survive --- an obvious patron for rangers and barbarians, but also mercenaries, and at least some criminals. Kind of like St. Jude crossed with...

I'll second that. Had as much use for the thing as a raging case of smallpox. Less, maybe.

You could take a look at Sean K Reynold's site, as he is running a campaign set in ancient Greece. Otherwise, I'd second Green Ronin's Testament as a sourcebook. Hmmm. Troy, eh? Sounds interesting...

I'm on Silven periodically and have caught the prior instalments. Tonight I noticed the link to the latest on the ENworld front page. We're running an all-gnomes campaign so the Rifleman of Cynra looks interesting.

getting lost at sea Most times you just want to boxed text the getting lost part --- i.e., it just happens. A bit of the old deus ex machina, though if the characters are simply passengers on someone else's ship (who then gets lost) the logic doesn't strain as visibly. If you are desperate for...

How are the Greyhawk regional feats?

Green Ronin also has a Pirate prestige class posted in their Focus on Freeport section.

That might logically preclude NPCs over 12th level in the broader campaign world. Doesn't that go against some FR bylaw or something..? ;) Kyramus' suggestion about scrapping the automatic spells for levelling up is elegant. The suggestions by others regarding incantations also add a nice...
