Eh, the audio editing takes maybe a minute per song. It's choosing that takes the time. But yeah, good points about repetition, special usage, and readies. I'll probably wait until my campaign is better established (read: no longer in planning) and try it out as a means of spicing up combat...

I finally got around to watching The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly last night. One of the things that struck me was the use of audio cues; whenever one of the three main characters was about to arrive on the scene, a short sound (kind of a modulated bird call) played, with the tone indicating...

It largely depends on the equipment available to the group I'm playing with. If I'm going to have to transcribe it into a whiteboard anyways, I may as well hand-draw it in the first place (because if I can't draw it on paper, there's no way I can draw it on a whiteboard). Likewise, if we're...

My dad played 1e/2e in college, then introduced me and my brother to 3e when we were 8 and 6 respectively. We played without AoOs for the longest time (partly because dad didn't understand them, either), but didn't change much other than that. Now I'm starting my sophomore year of college, and...

The way we tend to play it is that if it was for a creature of the same size with the same number of appendages, it fits. No sense bogging down the game with excessive detail (same reason we don't use encumbrance).

I don't recall any difficulty... heck, there are more options than normal, not fewer. As for PrCs, I'd probably convert them into feat chains rather than making them different classes.

Reminds me of the IH Traits system (where you do point buy, then also get traits that can modify ability scores or provide other benefits).

I'm not using them currently, but I have used them previously. We only used Warrior and Expert (since it was a modern no-magic game), but it worked pretty well. Good customizability and fairly balanced. Also, True20 (by Green Ronin) built a whole system running on the generic classes (it's...

Currently running heavily-modified 3.0 with rules borrowed from PF and TB (and a dash of Iron Heroes, actually). From 3.5: Barbarian, Ranger, Monk Darkness Haste Ray of Enfeeblement From TB: Class modifications (except Druid, which I'm still tinkering with on and off. Currently looking at...

My current group is comprised of a Half-Orc Ftr9 and a Dwarf Monk 6 / Cleric 3. So far, the monk is definitely holding up his end of things - his damage output per strike is lower (granted, the fighter is using a greatsword with Expert Weapon Proficiency for die-size increase and plenty o'...

I kind of agree with you. On the one hand, keeping the list of reactions short means that people can actually remember most of them and what they do without looking things up, which is good. On the other hand, there are things (namely Counterspelling) that would make awesome sense as...

IH was good fun, but yeah, some of the classes had issues (poor armiger... you were so cool, but just couldn't hack it). Their armor as DR implementation had fundamental scaling flaws (damage output simply outstripped armor DR as level increased, making it an ineffective means of defense)...

This reminds me of the Piety system from Mythic Vistas - Trojan War. Each character had a piety score, which allowed them to request divine boons (or, if your piety score goes negative, call down divine censure). If you want more active gods and fewer clerics, something along those lines might...

Wow... not that many by comparison. WHFRP: Bought it used for cheap, but after my group's recent displeasure with Dark Heresy, probably won't get to play it anytime soon. Darwin's World d20 Modern Trailblazer, though I have a game of that in the works for this weekend if all goes well.

Pathfinder kind of does this; they require skill checks for the creation of all magic items, and it so happens that they were kind enough to let people make potions using Spellcraft or Alchemy. Granted, the DCs are kinda low... Their general item creation rules so you know what you're looking...

Glad to help! I've actually tracked that file down via google three times in as many months... I keep finding it every time I want a balanced weapon and then losing it again. One of these days I'll bookmark it.

I'd probably ditch their weight table... there's no good way to generalize from it (creatures of the same size category often have drastically different values, creatures of roughly the same weight (bison and brown bear, for example) have pretty seriously different values, etc). Maybe use it...

Yeah, absolute immunity is kind of ridiculous. Very high SR that you can't lower for beneficial spells, on the other hand, is more interesting. I second the vote to check out Forsaker (I know it was in Masters of the Wild, don't know if they reprinted it in 3.5), along with Occult Slayer...

Against The Shadow's first Midnight netbook covers these topics (hunting, gathering, fishing, and meat weight per critter), along with food spoilage and foodborne disease (Don't want to start a fire that might tell the orcs where you are? Mighty unfortunate...). I used them once, and my...
