Starting with a side-note, I find that I use the real world quite often as inspiration for my games and writing. News headlines past and present refactored into plots, tidbits, and background for fantasy, sci-fi, and alternate history formats work out quite nicely and believably. Lends that...

my votes would be for boot hill and/or deadlands.

I have used a number of methods over the years, which have changed as I've grown, gained experience, and learned from others. I have found that different forms of information are best presented in different formats - so these days I actually use multiple formats simultaneously, despite the extra...

soooo, in other words... since a monk can use any part of their body as their unarmed strike, as long as they hold some part of their body with one of their hands, they qualify for haste with all the rest of their body? ;D

World-building: from cosmologies and timelines to various civilization's fashion trends and musical fads, everything in between and more, building a world can become an extensive project. Plots, story arcs, and the differences between an author's story and role playing group interactions...

i feel that game balance is a fallacy. seriously attempting to achieve a balance between all the player and character options is not an optimal design choice, and will always result in a mechanically flawed game. (some less so than others, but inevitably flawed, nonetheless)

by not much, i meant not much 3.x specific (comparatively speaking). and it's not 'an' approved website, it's "the" official 3.x source for mystara, as in the one and only as per wotc. seems like you're familiar with it, so i won't mention the other official sites that you probably already know...

did you happen to look at the official mystara 3.x site? (not much there, honestly, just curious if you did)

7) you should probably look at other d20 sources first (modern, future) as those are technically the same system and might yield some interesting synergies and boosts.

hmmm, i find that i prefer 3.x over 3.0. so that would mean all 3.5 content plus all non-updated 3.0 content. though i find i do like certain specific examples of 3.0 content over 3.5 content. in my games, i'll even include 2e or 1e or b/e things on occasion under the guise of an antique...

the specific rule you are looking for that might clarify is that "untyped bonuses stack". most feats do not give a type for their bonus, which means they default to untyped. unless the feat otherwise so indicates, then they would stack.

unless you were going for a "characters are aware of how game mechanics function as laws of the universe" sort of fantasy setting, which can have it's own form of humor about that.

hmmm, logically inconsistent, if so. i'll just send you a pm. bribing, huh. no one's yet ever taken advantage of the bribing rule i have in place. ^^

wood shape would work if the tree were small enough - see also living wood, which can be crafted into object, used as walls in strongholds, etc.. polymorph should certainly be able to shape a tree as desired. if you can control a tree converted to a treant temporarily, then you can have it...

yes, the former list is smaller, even if it is only by a few hundred items. never saw your help request you mentioned. but then i'm not online very much and only visit here sporadically. i have also created an extremely extensive archive, which took me something like 7 years, and another one...

You are most welcome. by that list's count (it's at the bottom) there are 3304 feats for 3.x. however, some of those are duplicates from different sources (which would reduce the number), and it doesn't include certain categories of official feats (which increases the number).

i say both.

default to enlarge person rules, unless the item says otherwise.

http://archive.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/arch/lists That's most of them, but not all of the official ones.

well, if you don't mind a bit of 3.0 that made it into 3.5 by virtue of never having been updated, the stronghold builder's guidebook has tons of stuff with which you could outfit a ship, as does stormwrack. in fact, by combining the two, i found that the folding boat (from the dmg) is the...
