Closing off senses is a base ability of the race, not from the levels.

Monks are popular, so it got included.

Well, if the GM permits it, it has been permitted. :p Arkhandus, the Verrik might be a bit sub-par in many classes, but that's only where you are trying to optimize race and class. The Verrik has a number of strange qualities that would be interesting flexibility-type advantages. Closing...

Well, its anime, so no surprise that BESM would be a good fit. I'm not familiar with the details of Grim Tales, but I wonder why you'd need to mesh them that much. A massive damage threshold = Con score and GM adjudication on attribute selection should be enough...

I posted this above, and a minute later took it out. I felt it was two separate thoughts, so I wanted to leave room for someone else to interject. Three contributions came, so I reposted the second half as a contribution on its own. Good catch.

Continuing Kes Trees Contribution: For three years the halflings were no longer persecuted- they were stalked. Eventually, the Flame of Kes was discovered to be from the Kes trees. Within 10 years, these countries all had the secret of Flame of Kes. Nistadeen mostly set it aside, halfing...

Contribution: Kes Trees grow to 20' high. The first half the trunk is devoid of branches, while the second half has branches that fan out in all directions and arc upwards at half their length. The bark of these trees is a soft yellow color, kept moist by the oils in the tree. The wood is a...

Because the Royal Pass itself is guarded and patrolled by Imperial authority, the tolls on the transportation of gold out of Khemar are tremendous. In recent years, as the gold output has increased, the guards have had to be increased as well... just to guard their own toll-collections. Pillar...

I like the idea of sidebars, sideboxes, and the like including some details for how a GM might flesh out such mysteries. That way its not canon, but there's still suggestions about what to do with it. This is the last of my long-waiting contributions. Its just such an example of something...

Mid-May through mid-June, for me. Thats papers through finals time. :eek: I can pull off 4-6 thousand as well. Its an amazing, first-ever, all-humanities quarter. I can't promise more than that... but I might be able to pull a little slack if things are going well around that time. New...

You can't surrender without a houserule. I think many of the suggestions on this thread are very good. The trick is not to make it overly blatant.

Sounds good. This might be a case where the stick works better than the carrot though. Put them through an adventure and fairly plan out several ways it could be easier with world knowledge. After the game tell the players what they could have done... and make sure they almost die for their...

I was in a Star Wars campaign for about a year. I don't think the GM touched an adventure module. He prepared the whole thing himself based on his understand of the universe. It felt very star-warsy. Set about a year before the Battle of Yauvin (sp?). We were a bunch of aliens pressed into...

...one of which is a daughter of the bloodwillow Dryad Sania... I thought the daughters of the Bloodwillow were not quite adults. I consider the declaration of specific schools of magic to be a borderline rules distinction. Necromancer of Praes Thanatos, in this setting, is a title as well as...

D20 Modern sounds very much like what you're going for. The book includes 'Department-7' and the Agents of PSI minicampaign that might have some kernels of inspiration. While its a good basic ruleset to capture the modern world and modern folk, it needs some help if you want rules and setting...

Darrenback has only one known tattoo on the back of his right hand. When halflings see it, they seem to stare openmouthed then flinch if Darrenback notices them. It is rare to find heavily tattooed halfings in his presence.

Contribution: The gundabah howdah's can be broken up into 11 pieces, enabling twelve men and some ropes to set it up in the course of half an hour. This is often done in extended forays of Gundabah units away from their homes. The original Gundabah place was along a rocky enscarpment. Long...

The setting is not meant for Player Spellcasters. The game book tries to do it justice with the idea that the players might dabble a bit. Its supposed to be extremely lethal. That's the problem- the characters that survived in the books did so because of luck, low cunning, and extremely...

That's a good idea. I don't need or want randomized D&D stuff, but randomized all that other stuff is great. Because you never know.

I'm sorry, did the howdah's get settled at Contribution level, or not? I have an idea... :cool:
