Hmm... a good question. Given ability score adjustments, special attacks and abilities (and taking a little away from disallowing the use of 'natural' special attacks and abilities), and all that... hmm. I'll assign a bare minimum of ECL +12 and ranging up to possibly ECL +15. That sound...

Agreed. I admittedly did this for two reasons: 1) A WOTC forum poster asked about it, and 2) just to see if I could actually pull it off. I think that's a rather workable rough draft template, considering I spent two hours typing it up.

I sent in this question yesterday concerning vampire clerics, as written in the Monster Manual, to Skip Williams. Got my reply just a few minutes ago, it seems, and I felt I should share it with you. I'll quote this directly from the 'Monster Manual', since my questions focus specifically on...

Okay, I admit it, I'm twisted. :p Someone at the WOTC forums brought up the idea of symbiote PrCs, like the Guyver, Venom/Carnage from the Spider-Man comics, and the like. Being the Guyver fan that I am, I began sketching one out, if it were in a D&D world. I'd done this before in sketching...

Any other opinions to be garnered on my attempt at creating my first race (even though now I'm hearing I got beat to it by Dungeon #91... alas, I am not a subscriber, and therefore don't get to try and get the issue until February 11th... le sigh)?

Re: Crothian Look down at my 'Creating New Core Classes?' thread... it's either on the bottom of this page, or the top of the next, one of the two. This race was why I planned to create new core classes... classes, however, specifically designed for this race alone. Robotic warriors...

Hmm... the magical construct template does looks interesting. However, considering that this is more a low-magic futuristic setting that I'm attempting to create for this, having it as a magical construct isn't going to work too well, especially since my 'robot' race would have Constitution and...

Alas... don't have Dragonstar. About the only thing I could look at for possible pointers for robots as a race would be Heroes Unlimited (ehh) and WEG's new DC Universe RPG... and both of them are, unfortunately, superheroic settings. The D6 Star Wars RPG has some basic robot stuff, but not...

Good point, Crothian. Suggestions on that? Only thing I can think of is using the DMG and MM both as a starting point.

Hope that's part of what's already been released on the OGL stuff. I don't have the 3E Psionics Handbook, alas, other than what's been shown on the OGL website.

I'm considering the possibilities of a low-magic futuristic campaign, and considering trying to put together a race of robots. However, I don't just want to rip off the iron golem and try converting it over. Would creating a race be the best idea, or should I perhaps go the route of the...

Anyone else have any thoughts about Ravenloft, or experiences they'd like to share?

I'm assuming Hasbro, since they're the ones developing all the new toy lines. Operative word: assuming. Can't say for certain on that point.

Takara has the license for the toy line, yes... just checked my Transmetal Optimus Primal and various RiD Transformer boxes to make sure of that before I opened my mouth and stuck both my feet in. However... I think Marvel Comics had to get permission from Hasbro when Marvel released the...

I would use that points-based system, since I looked over it back when it was just a PrC creation system on ThirdEdition.Com, and I wish I knew of a way to truly make use of it. Unfortunately, it still has part of the same problem in the end: it's geared specifically towards the typical D&D...

Wizard + PrC level, insofar as determining the caster level for animate dead and the create undead/create greater undead. I can, admittedly, make those spells subject to arcane spell failure as a potential balancing act, but what would be the use, since anyone worth his salt won't wear armor...

The setting for what I'm planning to create these core classes for is more a futuristic setting, with little or no magic. The basic classes, as I have them in mind, sorta reflect the four main core classes from 2nd edition to a certain degree (warrior, doctor, and spy types, basically, but I'm...

If only I could find it... I've heard Necromancy: Beyond the Grave is extremely good, but I have yet to be able to find it anywhere. I've found Hollowfaust at one place, but am currently holding off on it because I'm not really sure I want it. But hopefully at some point I can find it at a...

Why WOTC Should Make a TRANSFORMERS RPG! This thread started at the WOTC forum boards, but considering the nature of the thread (as well as hoping to boost the idea into the eyes of WOTC and perhaps some Hasbro folks who might be lurking about), I thought perhaps this would be a good place to...

I've been considering trying to figure out how to create core classes of my own, possibly for view here on the forums to see what people might think. However, creating a core class is quite a step up from creating a PrC like my Archetypal Necromancer (just below this thread, if you'll excuse my...
