Sounds a bit like the Times of Troubles (FR). But probably is suited more for high level campaigns: a simple 1st level cleric would have a damn hard life there. I like dren's idea (different cults with gods not actually showing down): this would also give a broader choice for the clerics (me...

Blindsight is 5ft radius ?

Good ! Now spell duels can really happen (I've seen only once someone trying to counterspell in the normal 3ed D&D). Just four comments: 1) If cast normally, Force of Will ends when a spell is countered ? or you can counter multiple spells. It seems that the first one is the true (also...

Ok. some comments: 1) The idea of the channelling check is good, but it means that failing the casting of a 9th level spell is DEATH: Fort save DC 64 its insane, expecially for an arcane caster: it would leave him with a Con of 5 (supposing Con 14) and so two failed spells and you're dead...

Very, very cool. Maybe if the effects are as presented in the description it's a bit underpowered for a 4th level spell (maybe down to 3rd?). If there are ways of using it in a more powerful way than the examples listed, maybe you could add them to the list (so that it would be more clear that...

The idea of a template is good (some time ago I was also considering a Fallen Celestial template for celestials who turn evil). The stats you propose are good, but I'm not sure about the Wisdom damage: At the beginning I thought about cold damage, and then changed to strenght to make it more...

If I replace it with the skill points or some unique ability I'd remove completely the channelling (for example in a campaign without undead) If I replace them with divine feats I'd allow channelling, but not to turn undeads (again expecially in the case no undeads existed in the world)...

I was considering a new creature for a homebrew world where the world, that was once full of good and happiness, has been suddenly changed by some sort of cataclysm and now there are no gods, nearly no celestials (called angels) and some demons/devils have appeared (they weren't there before the...

I was considering the option of clerics that don't have turning/rebuking abilities in any of these circumstances: - world without undeads - clerics with no god and without a strong good vs evil philosophical ideas - neutral clerics of gods who really don't care about undeads (such as Boccob)...

Have the cat be an awakened cat wit Int 18 and maybe some class levels (expert ??) and thus a very high bonus in some int-based skill such as some knowledge or Decipher Scrypt. The cat doesn't say anything, and always pretends to be a normal cat. Then when the characters face some enigmatic...

Sounds good. The saints are ascended mortals or where created as minor gods ? What makes the gods of different allineaments be toghether instead of fighting each other ? the power of a greater god, the fact that internal fights could make them weaker compared to other racial deities (such as...

About Time Walk: written as it is it's really overpowered IMHO: a decent level sorceror could delay to go last in initiative and then use many of his 2nd level slots to actually cast lots of spells: assuming haste + quickened is 6 spells/1 round, only haste or only quickened spells is still 4...

I was thinking about running a short D20 Modern Intelligence campaign (a la James Bond / Mission Impossible) My main ideas where: - set in Europe (expecially in large turistic cities so that I can easily have maps, names of places & so on) - characters are spies from the English secret service...

What happens if I put something inside a box (or a chest, a sack or any kind of container) and then shrink it ? I hope the content is shrinked too, but actually the spell description does not state it. If yes, then a permanencied shrink on a chest can be used as a bag of holding, I think. Is...

I don't think it's unbalanced in damage: Magic Missile (lvl 1) does 5 x (1d4+1) = 5 x 1d6 with no attack roll required. Supposing the caster hasn't got a hight BAB he'll miss some of the attacks, and so 1d8 seems resonable; An empowered MM (3rd level) is 5 x 1d9. Maybe is a bit boring to roll...

I've read some of the threads on possible house rulings for class skills and skill cost to provide more versatility while mantaining game balance. I've got this idea that while being simple might work: use the standard class skill list & rank cost, but don't half the maximum skill rank limit...

The limit, for example the (3/day, no more than 1/hour) in heal HP, means that a character cannot benefit by more than three healing checks every day, and anyway no more than one every hour. While magical healing can be used as many times as you wish, bending and applying a medical herb on a...

Acually a critical hit with a dagger is only a max of 8 damage + 2xStr modif, and so it won't kill even an average 1st level PC. How about an opposed Reflex Save, with the threatening character receiving a +5 circumstance bonus ? In this way an heroic (PC class, higher in level, ...) character...

There is a version of Double Weapon Fighting in the NetBook of Feats that lets you fight as with Ambidexterity and Two Weapon Fighting but only with one double weapon you are proficient, and I think it's balanced and it makes sense: even if you don't have the coordination necessary for using...

You might also try Genova (Italy)(I'm probably biased, as this is the town I come from): now it's a bit shrinking, but still it's not a small city. It's on the seaside but there are mountains immediatly on the other side. It has been a center of trade in the Mediterren sea in the middle...
