I don't know if this idea would help but Dragon 316 (Feb 2004) had some articles on playing espionage games in the D&D setting. Making the games more political and social intrigue oriented could help avoid combat.

I would have to ask what you mean by beefing up the bard, since it's well balanced. My biggest problem with the bard is that I think it's good at everything except the feeling of the magical songs. I think Montecook came up with a great way of doing this with his variant bard in his books of...

Thanks for the responses, I hadn't noticed the license in the back, and it does look most of Unearthed Arcana is useable under the OGL.

I was just wondering if there was a way to find out how many of the variations in Unearthed Arcana can be used in other sources. I have a friend working on his own campaign setting that I think would make good use of some of the rules like the weapon groups, but I don't want to suggest he make...

One I think almost every character of mine has said at some point: "It seemed like a good idea at the time."

In all the groups I've played in, we tend to ignore those adjustments, just playing out personality quirks that show up.

I don't remember what the Prestige class is, but there is one in the Complete Warrior (WotC) that offers some dagger throwing options. I know one is the invisible blade, I think the other is the thrown weapon master or something like that, I would highly recommend not allowing the two to be...

I was running a 3e game when 3.5 came out, I liked the updates so much, and didn't want to factor it into the game too much, so we kinda took the time to just clean up the characters. I let them remake their characters with the same classes and stuff, but let them switch up the levels, in the...

Actually for games that end "midsession", especially if there's combat on either side, I just say that party member is unconcious for feeling sickly so they're sitting out.

I as a DM have to admit that I really didn't like the psionic handbook because I felt a lot the things in there were out of balance with the core rules. Probably one of the other things I didn't like was that it was a completely different system that didn't interact very well with magic. This...

I like the book for the artwork, as well as the ideas and support for playing dragons as characters though I have one gripe to point out. My roomate was going to run a dragon PC game, but when we were going through the book, we found that they didn't have a table of stat adjustments for some of...

I don't think I read the Coda system in any of the lists above, that's what Decipher used in the Lord of the Rings and Star Trek.
