What's the caster level for a potion? Is it the minimum caster level required to cast the spell? Some spells are available to different classes at different levels. Which class determines minimum caster level for, say, a potion of invisibility. The crux of my dilemma is how long will my...

There's a book called Pale Designs: A Poisoner's Handbook (Malhavoc?) with a few PrCs in it.

As long as it's free, I'm interested. :D

I like it. I've been trying to create a viable sysem to limit clerics' spell lists for some time now, and it looks like you've done exactly this. The only problem that I see with the system is that paladins and rangers (secondary casters) will get access to high-level spells. That just...

The only place I've found good info on the githyanki is in the XPH. I'm looking for something a little more comprehensive, like the entries that races get in the "Races of..." books. Anyone know where I can find info of this depth?

I have no desire to see gods "statted" per se, but I did give portfolios and domains to Czernobog and Bielebog IMC.

I'm building a 6th level dwarven gish on my way to EK. What feats should I select?

Whoa, now! I wasn't trying to snark you. But frankly, if your preference is for "not changing things" and you have no advice or suggestions to help me do just that, you shouldn't have responded to this post. Elves are not elves because they live in the woods and shoot arrows. I'm not...

crazypixie: Wow. That's quite a thing to come off the top of your head. It doesn't quite fit what I'm trying to do, but it's an awesome idea. Props.

This is somewhat similar to what I'm doing IMC. The elves from the empire aren't necessarily evil (I don't place a lot of emphasis on alignment), but they are racists, conquerors, and slavers. My half-elves take the role of the normal elf. They were once culturally indistinct from neighboring...

Minotaurs in Dragonlance (which I took the entry from) are a PC race. It just so happened that the flavor text for the Dragonlance minotaurs were exacly what I wanted a particular subrace of elves to be in my homebrew. I'm not sure I understand or agree with your analogy, but from what I can...

In fact, I see that the title to this thread doesn't really reflect what I'm looking for. I'm gonna change it.

UA's racial variants have no flavor. "Desert elves are just like regular elves, except they live in the desert and get bonuses to Fort saves vs. hot weather." "Water orcs are just like regular orcs, except they're blue and scaly and have a listed swim speed." Whoop-dee-doo. I haven't really...

Set, I like all these ideas. First, are the dwarves from the 2e Complete Dwarves Handbook that much different from standard 3e dwarves? That Viking/early Germanic flavor is exactly what I want. Second, that's also pretty much the flavor I want for Dark Elves (I'm looking at Warhammer...

Laziness, mostly. :) Honestly, I do end up rewriting the entries I steal quite a bit, but it's hard to fluff out racial descriptions to fill a page or two. I'm not always the best at deciding what should go in "Relations" as opposed to "Personality," etc. Mainly, I'm looking for inspiration...

I'm looking for race concepts to pilfer for a homebrew. I want to violate most, if not all, stereotypes/tropes of the traditional (PHB) races. The name of the race does not have to match what I'll eventually put it with. To give an example, I took the flavor text for minotaurs in the...

Assuming that an "average" human has 4d8 HD and 10 Con (18 hp), I think all weapon damage is about right. A dagger deals 1d4, a longsword deals 1d8. What should be changed in this system is critical multipliers. On a crit, a dagger should be able to kill just about anyone. Any weapon should...

IMC, dragons only gain intelligence with age. There are other differences, but the important one is that they start out as stupid beasts. One kingdom raises dragons from hatchlings and trains them for combat. A PrC, members of a prestigious order of knights, is the Dragon Rider. They ride...

I've also stolen a few ideas from WFRP. High elves, Dark Elves (sans the piracy), and Slayer dwarves, plus a few of the gods (Kaine and Nergal, specifically).

Wow! That was a lot of responses in a short time. I think I'll just clarify a little bit: I want to keep the standard fantasy races intact, but get rid of the stereotypes. I like Eberron for this, though I'm not so sure that I'd like to try and fit in all the new races they offer. I suppose...
