    What to do with the souls?

    I'm not too familiar with Greyhawk per se, but something you could do is set aside someplace as a "Spirit Wood." A particular wood where the souls of the neutral go to be a peace with the rest of the world. Thereafter, the souls bound to the trees do have the ability to exert some control over...

    Why isn't druid the gnome's favored class?

    To answer the original question as posted, when making favored class distinctions for D&D 3.X, WotC did not base them around the statistical advantages of a race. More important to the idea of favored class was the standard personality and interests the race is played up as having. Gnomes in...

    What d20 product/supplement/add-on/article has best mana base magic system?

    I think they're referring to the fact that you have set spell energy derived from your casting ability score and levels of Channeller. Not exactly what I'd call a "mana system" though. My reccomendation is to get the part of the SRD on psionics and use the point cost setup there for spells...

    This Bugs Me...

    Technically, as long as you included a copy of the OGL with the proper references in it somewhere on your website and had links to it, they have no legal right to complain. Once they open the content, they make it free for use in any other OGL medium - including websites. I can understand why...

    How does LA work?

    Since they changed the ECL/LA rules for 3.5, I guess that also means the aasimar paladin in a party of humans gets his next feat one level behind the humans, since they hit 3 HD while the aasimar is only 2 HD/ECL 3. Subtle change, broad implications.

    Preferred hordes: What's your favorite evil humanoid?

    I've always been a fan of the hobgoblins. They have this whole klingon thing going for them. Savage and bloodthirsty, but strangely honorable and structured. That and they push goblins around and make them do the grunt work :D

    D&D Miniatures Handbook Interview

    Yeah, WotC's been pretty good about keeping repeated content down to a minimum. These new core classes (or at least the one we've seen) strike me as having been created to fill a niche perceived in a table top miniatures wargame, not a niche in D&D. However, since the rulesets are very...

    What Archetypes Deserve Classes in a Fantasy Game?

    Here's a question: In the case where you have a generalized class that can be used to make two different achetypical characters (for example, using the Fighter to make both an "Unfettered" and a "Warmain"), is it totally acceptable to have a class called Fighter that has a unified BAB and save...

    3 years after 3.0 - race/class combinations.

    The first campaign I DMed I had someone play a half-orc paladin simply because he wanted someone completely against the norm. Not only was the half-orc a paladin, but he was an articulate, cultured, and refined individual. Other than that I've had a human Ranger/Fighter, human Wizard/Rogue...

    d20 that should have been core

    I have to agree with herbalism, ritual magic, mass combat, and domain management belonging in the core. I think with the proliferation of prestige classes it's silly to see some things like Dragon Disciple and Red Wizard considered core when we don't have a gypsy prestige class. Personally I...

    What specific stuff from d20 products are you using?

    I'm working on a homebrew campaign setting that's a strong departure from standard D&D (but not quite to the extent of AU). I'm pillaging the d20 stuff I own for ideas. Things I know I'm using so far: AU: The unfettered class, some of the feats, parts of the totem warrior class for my shaman...

    build-a-bard workshop

    Archery is definitely the route to go with a bard. A human bard at 1st level can pick up both Point Blank Shot and Precise Shot, letting them stand back and fire into melee, supporting the front-line fighters without having to risk serious harm. Where you go from there really depends on the...

    [ADULT - Medical Update] Angelsboi Q & A

    In an attempt to avoid getting too religious on you, I'll phrase my response like this: Whatever higher power you may or may not believe in does love you, no matter what the hypocrites that claim to follow him/her say. If you're a good person that tries to do the right thing most of the time...

    SRD Competition Submission Thread

    Where's my partial? It's gonna wait 'til it's done, that's where. :p I appreciate the offer, but personally I know the work I've done won't stand a chance until I have the TOC, Index, and PDF bookmarks done. I'd rather gracefully bow out of the competition, adhere to the deadline as...

    New Unearthed Arcana info

    Pet peeve: How do you make something feel like a celtic druid when we know next to nothing about druids? Everything we DO know was already built into the class via previous editions.

    OT: Majorly Annoyed

    Some do, some don't. I had professors that didn't care about attendance and would pass you as long as the midterm and final grades for you were passing grades. I had some that built attendance into the grade so that you'd fail if you missed more than two classes without an excuse. I even had...
