I have Shaun Hately's Guide to Herbs in RPG's, and used it in my 2e campaigns. While a straight conversion is not easy (most herbs are greatly underpowered in 3e terms when you can easily buy many potions), I tried to make similar rules: I randomly generated a list of 400 herbs, divided...

Here is a simple herbalism system I created (possibly to use it in a very low magic setting). General ideas - This system is designed for low-magical worlds, where healing through divine magic is rare. - It allows a small amount of healing through natural means (herbs). - It is good for rangers...

Seems more like d20 modern than D&D: maybe you should cross-post this to the d20 modern board if you want some practical suggestions. About the alternate history in general: interesting idea. Kinda like the Terminator film for the time-trick (you could have some paradoxes, but actually who...

I was considering, to make spellcasters more versatile, to try the following house rules: Sorcerers: all as PHB except for the following: - instead of having Spell Slots per Day they use PP as psions (but of course they're not psionics). They use the Charisma as base ability modifier to get the...

I'm interested too. For the religions: I'll keep also the clericts without deity, allowed in the PHB but not in FR, as I like the idea. We'll go for multiple small pantheons (for the various races/cultures + some general deities) or one unified? I wold like very much to add something like...

A bit like mystra hid part of his power inside midnight during the Times of Troubles (in the FR books) Mixing all together: two weeks later the PCs meet again the old sick man (that they have buried): he is now stronger, no longer sick, and has gained much power: actually part of Thalos spirit...

I'm writing a planes campaign (using the standard planes from MotP): The first levels are still on the material plane (but they will meet an increasing number of outsiders/elementals), then they'll go abroad. PCs will start at 7th level. A powerful (13th level) good old wizard gives them a...

Maybe Staff DC 20, Ring DC 25 instead of vice versa, because a Staff is simply a bigger wand with more spells, and so simpler in concept than a use activated item such as a ring. Anyway this is only IMHO. The rulings are good, but I don't know if it's worth a feat (you can simply seek for some...

I was considering to give them Knowledge:The Planes as a class skill (I am preparing a plane-based campaign). I read about somebody thinking you should add some cha-based skills to the Sorceror but I'm quite reluctant on this; perhaps only Intimidate (but is a skill that has lots of...

Interesting Some suggestions: when the ritual goes wrong the temple begin to collapse. The players have a very limited time to get out of it before begin buried alive. The BB remains stunned for a little time (let's say one session or two): the players think he's dead and are starting on some...

I'll try to answer to your questions (not fully sure of the answers, anyway) First with the easy one: Just keep the better one (20/+2) The only exception are those DR like the barbarian or the Dwarven Defender (X/-) that stack together and so (2/-) plus (4/-) becomes (6/-) Well, it depens...

[I haven't posted anything else yet because the post seemed to have drawn no attention] I was trying to keep the chuch aside from the PC for the first levels (so that they couldn't start as a divinel class). Anyway a possible continuation could be: following some quest like pursuing an...

This should avoid to be able to cast two spells with a double move action. I think it's good, and probably balanced too: casting stil provokes AoO and if you want to be able to use the secondary action as a melee attack you should already be in the threatened area (supposing you disallow a 5 ft...

Considering that I don't like the normal psionic combat rules (ineffective, it's mostly a waste of PP). I was thinking of a possible alternate psionic combat system using rules similar to those in the Skills & Powers: Psionics (a NetBook for the 2nd edition). Here is a very basic beta version...

I was wondering what could be the best build for a lone character in a plane-based campaign (starting about lvl 8). Considering for the "lone" I thought of a human cleric. Domains (from PHB only): travel (need teleport or when you plane:):):):) at 400km from your destination it's a hell) and...

I'm creating a slightly mad Wizard that wants a flying donkey as mount (awakened, so that it can also speak). For what concernes the awakening there is no problem (just need to find a 5th level druid, explain him the situaton and pay some cash), but I was wondering on how to make it fly I...

Ok. I'll keep it like it was, with no disarm bonus. Thanks to everybody.

I have changed the heavy crossbow damage to 2d6 (as the normal size increment: d6 goes d8, d8 goes 2d6) and also added the Double Crossbow (up to heavy) and the Repeating Crossbow (hand or light) to be able to make more attacks; these are exotic weapons, but the gnomes (and maybe the dwarves, if...

I was considering the following weapons: Broadsword: medium-sized martial slashing weapon, damage 2d4, critical x2, price 10 gp, weight 6 lb (2.7 kg) Large broadsword: large martial slashing weapon, damage 3d4, critical x2, price 30 gp, weight 20 lb (9 kg). The blades have the same hardness of...

I'm not sure on how you can actually go in the astral plane Correct me if I'm wrong: - Astral Projection (9th): go in the astral plane as an astral form and not physically. - Planeshift (7th for arcanes, 5th for divines): you can go in the astral plane (but arriving at 8d100 km from the true...
