I voted 'other' so here's my specification. As a DM, I'm finding that having levels is really convienient. Sure, the quality of the system could be improved, but it does help with preparation time. I would, however, like a more customizable class system. The number of prestige classes is...

NO! (unless you mean IBM, then my answer would be ... NO!) Scarlet and Gray all the way! GO BUCKEYES!

The last female PC I played was an elven Paladin; she obviously had a high charisma. Prior to that, I once played a female gnome cleric with a giant owl mount. She had a 10 charisma. Played her as kind of a witch character, so it fit (at least with her). I've also have played a female...

Here's another "Yo" from a Columbus, Ohio person. I'm interested, but will be pretty busy with work related stuff on the weekends for about the first three months of the new year. I'm not busy EVERY weekend, so its possible. I'd prefer to play, but could DM if there's a need. I run a...

I agree with Greybar's comment that not knowing her would yield a random match. However, if you had the time, maybe you could build a few variations. At the beginning of the session, ask her some questions. Maybe she reads fantasy and would really enjoy playing a spell caster. After the...

Has anybody looked at the 25th Anniversary Edition of Metamorphosis Alpha? If so, any opinions? Here's a link: http://www.fastforwardgames.com/mapages.htm FM

Take a look at this quote from Sean Reynolds' site: http://www.seankreynolds.com/rpgfiles/misc/PH_opinions_feats.html Others in my group have complained about these feats in a similar way since 3e came out. One of the GMs came up with this idea: When a character first takes a matamagic...

I would tend towards an "in-a-heart-beat" type of purchase; I'd still look at it and its reviews, but it would probably be an easy sale. :) I'd prefer a book that presented a building blocks approach to the Arabian theme/genre/setting. Sure, present a specific campaign if you like, but build...

I like the aggressive polymorph/reincarnate idea. Here's a suggestion: Whenever druidic spell damage is inflicted (especially against outsiders/undead), a small mass of insects, seeds, spores, whatever sloughs off of the creature. When a certain level of negative HPs are achieved, the entire...

I just picked it up yesterday. Although I haven't examined it in depth, there's a lot in there that I like, at least flavor-wise. They present 14 different variations of magic, each with a full 20-level alternate core class presented. I hate the generic wizard, and the specialist wizards...

Well, I'm sorry to say, my initial comment would have to be "I'm confused!" But I've tried to sort it out. First, let me try to restate your ideas, so you can correct me where I get it wrong. ------- You're proposing an alternative method of arcane spell preparation and casting. Instead of...

I started my campaign requiring training to level up. After a year of play, I find it a mixed bag. I want my players to handle some of the tougher beasts. I tried the following as an experiment: The PCs found a lost temple to the god of secrets. Over the alter was a magical glyph. When...

I've been running a campaign for just over a year with 9 players. I really had to experiment with the encounters I've thrown at them. Like others have suggested, my advice is to boost the NPCs durability, not their lethality. That can be done with more of them, better defenses or higher HPs...

I absolutely agree that the highest level spells that a spellcaster is capable of need to be limited (though there could be other ways to limit them than spell slots). What I'm specifically considering are the spells that a caster has had access to for a few levels. Really, what would it hurt...

Well, I'd have to agree with the comment about magic making sense... :D However, I'm not really fond of "fire & forget." Most of the non-magical abilities of characters can be used repeatedly. A fighter can swing a sword all day long, and a rogue can pick everyone's pocket if he dares...

Non-D20, I really liked Earth Dawn. It has well defined spells, like D&D, but cooler mechanics. I also liked the variety of flavors that were available in Fantasy Hero, but the mechanics bogged things down (though I admittedly have limited experience with it). While I like the concept of a...

In my world, gnomes fill the place between dwarves and elves. Both elves and dwarves, for their own reasons, don't interact well with human/halfling societies. The gnomes act as the go-betweens. They're also superior alchemists, with alchemy being the most common form of magic. FM

I once had an intelligent sword in my campaign. It was strong willed, purely evil, and would suck souls as a special effect (inflicting negative levels). The party was fighting a half-dragon who owned it. Somehow, the half-dragon dropped it (either a fumble or a disarm - can't remember...

I just got back from my weekly session, and four of my nine players choose to bring in new characters. They just went through a rather tough encounter, where three of the characters dropped, and the rest ran away. The encounter was designed to be purely role playing, but it went rather badly...

After just a brief look, all I can say is ... STUNNING! Great artwork, lots of content, clean, crisp organization, even your own web address. Great job, Quindia! Sites like this put me to shame when I consider my own efforts. Whaaa! I want skillz! :p FM
