You apparently could not call your new elf race an "elf", since that would mean you were redefining an elf. You probably shouldn't, even if you could, you'd just confuse people trying to use your product, who'd see "race: elf" and wonder where these weird racial abilities came from. You could...

That seems like an oversight, because the thing seems intended to allow you to create NPCs.

Except that PDFs are explicitly mentioned as allowed licensed products, and additionally, And again, the "homepage for a PDF" is not a licensed product, the PDF itself is. The homepage of the PDF, for instance, um, let me grab a random pdf ad page, is marketing materials, which are, again...

ENWorld is not a licensee of Wizards (that I'm aware of). You don't NEED to license the game to discuss it. That clause says that you CAN'T produce a GSL-licensed website. Not that you can't mention the game online without being a licensee. People had this same misconception about the OGL-...

The FAQ needs some revision. It refers to: www.wizards.com/d20/GSLLogo.pdf and www.wizards.com/d20/GSLLogoBW.pdf The files are actually at: www.wizards.com/d20/files/GSLLogo.pdf and www.wizards.com/d20/files/GSLLogoBW.pdf Same for the SOA. So the embedded links in the FAQ don't work. If...

No, they can't. Quoting from a copyrighted work can be fair use. RPGs are (obviously) copyrighted works. From that link, you can see that the four main factors for determining whether copying some copyrighted work is fair use are: a) whether the copying is commercial b) whether you are...

What "traditional duties" would you describe as "shared" in that game? Edit: I ask because it's a terrifically fun game, and I'd hate to see you exclude it needlessly.

I didn't see anything about divine rank in Worlds and Monsters, though it's possible I've forgotten. The bit on the Elder Elemental Eye describes him as a god (whose name is "only spoken in panicked whispers") who found a shard of utter evil, plummetted into the Elemental Chaos, created the...

I think my favorite bit about the gods from Worlds and Monsters is that to fight the primordials, "The gods banded together in small groups, and each group set out to destroy one of the mighty primordials." Adventuring parties going out to fight a monster were a fundamental part of the creation...

Who said anything about domains? I was just listing things associated with each god. "Dwarf athletes follow Kord", snakes are mentioned with Zehir, the Raven Queen is "the god of fate, death, and winter". They didn't trim out agriculture, they folded it into Pelor's purview, because a god of...

That's a pretty good guess. I had been thinking that the list was a little male-heavy, as well, so it would good if they went with a female mother earth type. That might strike Obad-Hai off the list, which would still mean I'm short one. Ah, well.

According to Worlds and Monsters, he's a demon prince but not a god, as he has schemes to destroy the Raven Queen and take her power over death. It also mentions that demon princes are really tough monsters. So I don't think he's on the list.

I was curious about the 4e default pantheon mentioned in the two preview books, so I went looking through them and these are the gods I found. There are supposed to be twenty gods plus one. The Elder Elemental Eye, the Chained God- created the abyss, now imprisoned. I suppose this is the...

Who believes that? It's not said anywhere. Conversely, Races and Classes says "Defensively, the wizard is still less sturdy than most of the other classes. While the new system allows all first level characters to survive at least one solid hit, the wizard might not last past the second."...

It looks like yet another Tolkienesque western shore of a continent to me.

It would be less variable, but I think Exalted thrives on the chance of rolling heaps of dice for heaps of successes, so I'd use the 5, 6s-twice method.

The version of the rules Exalted is most familiar to is Adventure!/Aberrant/Trinity. NWoD is vaguely similar. It's not worth it for a one-shot, in my opinion. The system just isn't suited for it. It's as complex as D&D 3.5, has lots of individual little rules exceptions in the charms, and...

Exalted tends to run best with the fewest books. If you try to try to swallow it all, you'll choke :) I think you've got everything you need. That said, 2nd edition seems to be splitting its books into series based on whether they are rulebooks or setting books (obviously, they overlap)...

Yeah. If you do it with TN 4, you'll get 2 successes per 3 dice, instead of 1 per 2. The default target number should be 5, with 2 successes on a 6. A die in d10 exalted averages .5 success per die, so you want to maintain that, to avoid slight mechanical funkiness. Using a d6 pool in this...

Both. The dwarf bonus is a racial bonus, the Magic Circle bonus is resistance. They both apply.
