    Question about OGL and d20 licenses

    I want to put my homebrew campaign setting online for public viewing, but am unsure about what I need in terms of legal information. I've removed all non-original content from my site, and anything that is SRD material links directly to the d20SRD site (feats, spells, etc). I want things like my...

    New spell feat and accompanying rules- Synergetic Spellcasting

    That's something I hadn't even thought about. I think I'd say no, if only for the reason that quickening a spell then casting another one is still equivalent to casting two spells on two different actions. With Synergetic Spellcasting, the two casters cast the component spells on the same action.

    New spell feat and accompanying rules- Synergetic Spellcasting

    Glad you like it. Any opinions on how I could make things better? This is a pretty fundamental concept, so I'm really interested in how people think it'll balance and play out.

    The Aristocrat - Based off WotC Noble

    Here's a couple ideas based off the ones above: --Dodge feat as a bonus feat at 2nd level. Then at 6th level, allow the Aristocrat to use his Int bonus as a dodge bonus to AC against one opponent. This would be mechanically the same as the Dodge feat, just higher. Something along the lines of...

    The Aristocrat - Based off WotC Noble

    In my opinion, the bard's would do fairly well in a social/diplomatic type setting, but since a bard is inherently non-lawful, they start off with a bit of an (RP) penalty. I'm sort of treating nobles as a mostly lawful version of the bard, minus performance and spells. I'd love to see...

    New spell feat and accompanying rules- Synergetic Spellcasting

    I really hadn't thought about prerequisites for the feat much. Perhaps I'll put a minimum caster level and a couple metamagic feats in there. I agree that a caster should be fairly versed in metamagic before trying something like this. However, I really want to keep napalm the way it is, though...

    New spell feat and accompanying rules- Synergetic Spellcasting

    I've been working on this for awhile now, and I've got the basics of a new type of spell worked out. Basically, it's a metamagic variant on the current system that allows two casters to take the same feat (Synergetic Spellcasting), and blend their spells to create more powerful effects. For...

    The Aristocrat - Based off WotC Noble

    I still need to add to the list of feats available as bonus feats, but here's the class as it stands now.

    Need opinions on balance

    Well, as I said before, I've decided to rewrite anything that isn't OGL for my homebrew so that I have nearly all original content. My main reason for doing this is to prevent lawsuits in the future. Good call on the other benefits to enlarge/reduce (grapple bonuses, ac bonuses, reach, etc)...

    Need opinions on balance

    Any opinions? I'm not sure whether silence means people think they're balanced or not. ;)

    Need opinions on balance

    It is the same as EP in that regard. I made the change that it is rendered immobile if it can't break out of a space too small for it.

    Need opinions on balance

    I'm rewriting a lot of the content in my homebrew to weed out the non-OGL stuff, so here's my own take on a couple spells. I had them as level 3 spells at first, but that just seemed a bit overpowered for level 3, so I bumped them up to 4. Let me know what you all think.

    Game settings and copyright law

    I agree. That's the main thing I'm taking from this thread, but I was just curious if anyone else had already been through the process. I am not what you'd call a "regular" author / game writer. I just enjoy coming up with things for my setting, and I could see it growing to a point in a few...

    Game settings and copyright law

    Wow... that's a lot of great suggestions. It's looking more and more like I'll be rewriting quite a bit of the content that isn't OGL. That's not so bad, though. Honestly, mechanics have been the easy part for me, and the actual story writing and things are the hard parts. One of the problems is...

    Game settings and copyright law

    I'm working on a fairly expansive homebrew setting that will, by the time it's playable, be quite large. I've got 100% original setting material, and several new and altered mechanics. My question is mainly concerning the parts of the setting that aren't open gaming content. It is my...

    Any opinions on the other two spells?

    Help with a few spells

    In that case, what if I reduced it to second level, or further increased the reduction of the weight? Perhaps keeping it at a 3rd level spell (2nd for the Bard and Tinker classes... Tinker is the class I'm trying to use) and increasing the percentage to 75%. That looks pretty good. I may use...

    Help with a few spells

    So, I'm working on my homebrew, and I found a class that I want to use, but it makes liberal use of spells found in Dragon magazine. I've found a few of these online in various forums, and removed others from the class's spell list, but there were a few that sounded like something the class...
