My impression has been, not that they have been removed, but that they have been divorced from class. The balance dynamic has always been that as long as the character's class allowed the character to shine somewhere, then the class was balanced. Game sessions looked something like a long...

My experience with RQ (2nd and 3rd editions) is almost the complete opposite (player/GM since 1985). I have played in the core setting (Glorantha), and have run several multi-year home-brew campaigns. Perhaps characters belonging to the same cult or school will look similar (reasonable...

This. . . or one that will be interesting to run or run into. . . .Foodies don't let foodies do Mickey D's Greetings from State College :)

Prestige classes. Steps 5, 6 & 7. Not all Wizards have the same spell list - not all fighters have the same feats. They certainly don't have the same equipment.

Also poses some neat in-combat RP possibilities - Pit Fiend Minions face an interesting quandry: A) if the get too weakened (damaged) they are likely to be used as bombs by their boss; B) if they hang back too much (are seen as not contributing) they are likely to be used as bombs by their...

hit points, too.

Actually, I think this would be great way to limit magic item use. The biggest problem with charged items is that they go away. An item that charges xp would not: in terms of party resources, the penalty for squandering a charge/use is lessened. in terms of character, the choice to use such...

Sign me up! I would be very interested. I am always interested in alternate magic systems. Currently playtesting (as a player) an adventure for Sovereign press (3.5 rules). I have been an occasional contributer for the Silven Crossroads website. I have been gaming since 1980, every system...

AS much as I like the idea, I would have to say no. This is the line inthe spelldescription that leads to me to that ruling: "The spell transmits sound, not meaning."

Actually Herbert used draconian limits on technology to enable a feudalistic feel in Dune: 1 - limited travel - space travel under Guild monopoly which was incapable of being duplicated 2 - individual martial prowess matters - personal shields made melee combat the norm 3 - no access to...

d20 logo Everything from WotC will have the logo - it is their trademark they could slap it on a pokemon card if they wanted to. Any other company may use the d20 logo & trademark if they: 1) agree to the terms of the freely available d20 STL or 2) work out a specific licensing agreement with...

Best wishes and congratulations Baraendur! DaveMage, Eosin the Red: I have a 2 1/2 yr old and an 11 month old. nice to know I am not the only crazy one around here. When our gaming group gets together there are 5 children under the age of 3.... Thyrwyn

I do not own the book - but looked at the feats briefly the other day - to my recollection the can only be applied to spells of a level to which you could normally apply the regular metamagic feat. No 5th lvl wizards casting maximized fireballs. Maybe that is wishful thinking on my part, but...

I agree w/ Deset Gled completely. From the SRD description of Bluff: "A successful Bluff check indicates that the target reacts as you wish, at least for a short time (usually 1 round or less) or believes something that you want it to believe. Bluff, however, is not a suggestion spell. "...

Redemption maybe Bronwyn is the key to Ghandethar's eventual redemption? That said: regardless of the way SHARK runs Detect Evil, the question remains - does Bronwyn believe that Ghandethar is evil? Did she believe him capable of the evil acts to which he alluded or did she think he was...

Very well said Hyp. I like the 'opposed by attack roll idea - or maybe even just basing the DC on the opponents BAB for simplicity (less die rolling, faster play) fluid DC good, too.
