No, wild shape is not necessary. One of my players in my homebrew is running a shifter druid modified from Unearthed Arcana. This druid loses ALL wildshaping abilities, but instead gains AC/Move bonus of a monk (including adding WIS bonus to AC), tracking and favored enemy of ranger, while...

I can't go to Gencon cause I died from radiation exposure last week due to a untimely lava lamp explosion. It was NOT pretty. Apparently, I do NOT have the metagene, or whatever it is that turns ordinary people into super heroes after freak accidents. So I am stone cold dead...pining for the...

Questions about devices... Ok, here is my main questions about the devices made through mechamancy: A devices construction score states how many hours the device can run before it cycles down and must be rewound. First off, while it is not exactly stated, it seems that a device is either on...

Where should I post questions about this book? I have a few questions about the book, having just bought it on RPGNOW the other day. I just needed to know where is the appropriate forum to not only post my questions, but also have the possibility of getting actual answers from the creator...

Of the books listed, I would go with the DMG II, which I own. BUT, if you are looking for that sort of product, I recommend even more Green Ronin's Advanced GMs Guide. I found the stuff in it even more useful than the items already mentioned in DMGII, especially the power level rules for a...

Not in any particular order of purchase: Advanced Gamemaster's Guide Fantasy Player's Companion: Core Class Variants Prestige Secrets: Assassins Book of Roguish Luck as a bundled order: Fringe Fauna Metablades Expanded Edition E.N. Treasure Troves - Figurines of Wondrous Power There are...

I would love to hear more detail on the mechamancy book. I too have not been too disappointed by any of your books, especially those authored by you, Hellhound. Usually at least one or two things in the PDF can be directly added to my campaign, which is saying something since I run a rather...

In my current homebrew, I have the added problem of running for a college gaming group, where not every player can show up every week and even if they do, may be unable to continue playing for a semester due to class schedule, work, etc. So I have to be really flexible of how and when I add new...

Another thing to do is use some of the rules listed in the Dragon magazine article for a 3.5ed Dark Sun campaign. ALL of the base races listed in that were +1 LA. Even if you don't want the psionics which such templates add, it will give you a general idea of how to pump up a character's race...

For many years, before the release of 3.0, I bought most of the rifts books as they came out. I loved the fluff, concepts, and artwork. BUT, during that same time period, I also NEVER gamed, and have never found anybody who has been able to competently run a palladium game (then again, to be...

Be glad that I am not one of your players, as the reign of terror that I would try to start with this one "farm" would probably disrupt your game. Unless you can make them ALL almost instantly disappear or get rid of them and then clean the scene up so that they effectively disappear without a...

I don't really do a lot of tweaking as such, I symthesize instead. I have become very adept at taking a bit of material from here, adding some more from there, making a few minor rewrites for consistancy, and BAM...something different on the whole from it's original source material. My current...

"Lose a charge from your axe" -- the GMs response to a player who is being a smart ass. Origin: In my Technomagic game, the dwarven paladin has a lightning blaster built into her battleaxe. She had just shot somebody, and I reminded her to make sure to take a charge from her axe. Another...

"Do you speak Italian?" -- the question asked an opponent before the PCs try and take him out, usually in a very sudden and very dramatic way. ORIGIN: In a Stalking the Night Fantastic game, I was playing a ex-mafia hitman with ties to the Vatican. I knew that one of the evil masterminds...

IK has the absolute best Technomagic rules EVER CREATED. While they are somewhat complex, and the text does have some errata and a few flaws, but once you understand the method to the designers madness, it becomes clear. Like technology is supposed to do, it both widens the availability of a...

Most of my friends know me as skippy than know me as Robert. The original reason for it was the fact that everybody knows somebody named Robert (I have a whole rant I once wrote about Robert-Americans and how we are large enough minority to demand special treatment, if we would only vote as a...

Cursed Earth "wonders" The Cursed Earth Campaign is very different than most of the others so far listed, as it is a pseudo-Post Apocalyptic world with advanced technomagic (think D&D with a Gamma World twist). Also, my elves are invaders from an alternate material plane who are basically the...

On the Cursed Earth Campaign world, my elves are not technologically adept, but can use the Technomagic devices developed and built by the gnomes and dwarves. They run things in the Federation (all races are equal, just Elves are more equal than others), mostly because their elemental priests...

Try using the BOOK OF IRON MIGHT from Malhavoc Press. This book deconstructs the original manuevers and then from this, creates an easy to use process to create your own manuevers. I don't have the book in front of me, or I would write up what they would say about a Defensive Trip, etc...

I run a technomagic campaign that is a heavily modified 3.5 edition D&D, using the Perpetrated Press books and some of the rules from Iron Kingdom Full Metal Fantasy (although mine is more future tech then steam tech), especially the item creation rules. I have a player who should be getting to...
