Your abilities are not equal in power. Immune to sleep vs immunity to many poisons? I can see where you are going, however. It reminds me of some takes that have been used for PCs with strange lineages (part celestial, etc). One thing I occasionally used once in a while was a modified version...

As the others have said, it is in Masters of the Wild - a book rarely found these days, as it has not been in print for nearly ten years, I think. However, there can be found online a NWN prestige class for archers. It was based upon the Peerless Archer as I recall, but modified to fit in the...

I see no problem with this. Profession skills are really of little use to PCs except as background ideas. Craft is generally more useful, as it allows a PC to make an item that may be needed (such as extra arrows at lower levels, etc). Profession is mostly meant to allow a sense of...

This really is the best way to present and play a horror game, and even non-horror games can be made quite a bit more engrossing with the use of such methods. Personally, I've played under DMs that tell everyone how many hp the creature has (at the start of the encounter), how much damage each...

This probably has nothing to do with the situation, but ... If V is becoming evil, perhaps the fact might have been influenced by the ring s/he wears. Ever since #130 s/he has been wearing a "Ring of Wizardry pried off of Xykon's charred finger bone." Again, even if V is going evil (I tend...

I can't believe I am the first to post, but I went back two days and did not find any posts on this! http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0588.html Interesting use for 'Divine Might', but I get the feeling I'm missing the joke regarding Hinjo sitting on his head. I wish I knew which tables...

I've not heard of this before, but I know a lot of people that do it with the Skill Focus feat - the PC gains the bonus and the skill is a permanent class skill for the PC. You know, you could get the same effect by removing the cost but keeping the cap, right? So, at all levels all skill...

I like the idea of class skills, but I do not like how cross-class skills are implemented. What I would prefer to see is something akin to the following: A feat that makes a skill a class skill for all classes the PC has or will gain in the future - a sort of 'signature skill' trait. Perhaps...

I rarely random roll - and use my own tables if I do It also depends on what the roll is for. If they are fighting some thugs, then the weapons and armor (often poor quality) is the loot - along with perhaps (roll) coppers and silvers. If I roll max then I might go to a table of my own...

Maybe the four worlds for ultimate power are: "Royal Flush, beat that!" :lol: But I guess not ... the words need to be taken out of context - or at least that is how I read the oracle's prophesy.

I don't have much time right now, but ... Mallus' advice about memorable characters is very true. Another bit of advice is to not give them a map at first. They have just entered a large town or city. It not only makes sense that they do not know where things are, but it helps give the feel...

Other considerations ... I'm not sure how multi-racial you intend your society to be, but here are some ideas that might work for you. The initial barbarians to the north were not completely wiped out. Instead the menfolk were the heaviest casualties, and when the women, children, and elderly...

Now, what are the power sources at present? There are a few nobles amongst these people. These are not descendants of former nobles, but instead descendants of leaders who rose to the occasion a few centuries back when the time came to reorganized and try to survive. Some were appointed, and...

It took me a while, but I found a map of Golotha and a (very little) bit of information on the city at columbiagames.com. (A google search of the site for the city name will bring up the page. It has a link to a nicely sized color map at the bottom of said page.) I presume you are striping the...

Grr... My post was eatten! I'll try to cover the two points again: The first point I wished to make was that if you have not yet mapped out your city, there is a cartography forum at this site that might be willing to help you. You would likely need to supply a few details (how many major...

One quick question ... (Okay, I admit it has grown into quite a bit more than just one question ....) Have you chosen a city map already and need help adding details to it (perhaps having stripped it of its prior details - or making alterations to it assuming hundreds of years have past since...

Thanks! Perhaps due to being a history major, I tend to read up on things like this. Also, I tend to believe that it is the little details that help make a setting truly enjoyable to the players.

Some other links that could aid you ... Population Center Demographics Calculator (will even add in D&D races and classes) http://www.lucidphoenix.com/dnd/demo/business0.asp Kingdom Population Calculator (as above, but determines for an entire kingdom)...

A lot of this really depends upon how large a city you are making. (warning, somewhat longish post follows) Is it fairly large, the last major outpost known for several days (weeks?) journey (at least as far as the city itself knows)? If so, has it grown this large, or was it this large or...

The Landlord feat might work ... ... but it has issues of its own (being 3.0e, requiring use of a book no longer in print, etc). You can hand wave a lot of it, however. Landlord [special] (source: Stronghold Builder's Guide Prereq: PC must have 9+ levels. Benefits: The PC has a small...
