Level-Based Skill Bonus System for D&D 3.5 This variant is inspired by the skill systems of SWSE and 4E, adapting level-based bonuses to skill checks while endeavoring to abide by the maximum-rank limit of the standard rules. Instead of receiving skill points (SP) per level to spend on skill...

Why wouldn't it be Druid, Barbarian, and Sorcerer?

Gnomes and half-orcs don't count. :P :D

To add to the above post... I know some campaign settings do "race swapping" already, or bring in new races to supplement the standard ones... I've seen an anecdotal complaint or two concerning the new 4E races, complaints that now tieflings and dragonborn and eladrin will have to be...

If the writers at Wizards are taking requests here (or there's somebody here who likes the idea), I'd like to see every 4E campaign world adopt the following design rules: 1. At least one PHB player race is missing from the world (it might be extinct or simply never existed) 2. At least one...

3E already breaks relativity by letting an object be dropped as a free action (and free actions take no time at all to perform, though they consume a nonzero amount of effort since characters are limited to some indefinite number of free actions per turn). Since an object isn't considered...

I'm glad to hear that pdf rulebooks are on the schedule. :D Though it would be nice to have them up at the same time as the hardcopies, I can see the reason for a delay, namely to get what money you can with the "must have my books ASAP" folks (like me :)) whilst doing your best to help the...

The second part of my previous post seemed to get lost in the stirrings-up of the first part, so I thought I might repeat it:

There's two parts my post: 1. Is it legal to impose the more restrictive GSL license on material that incorporates other material that was created under the perpetual OGL license? What if someone uses the GSL to publish material incorporating some of that shared material, then goes against...

Thanks I can't think why I stuck it in HR.

How much do these materials cost per pound? As valuable as they are, they would make great trade goods, though rare enough that they'd be sold by the ounce. A weaponsmith wishing to make an adamantine battleaxe (6 lb.) would likely have to accumulate raw material over time: four ounces one...

Ahh, that makes more sense now. I've not spent much time learning SWSE but if that's how things work, it's alright.

What the heck is going on with the ability score modifiers (if those *are* modifiers)? From the reproduction of the Ice Archon on the news page it looks like they are redefining the score & modifier scale as Ability Score == Modifier 18 == +28 17 == +26 (inferred) 16 == +24 15 == +22...

I've started up an e-campaign using some of my masterwork rules. It's become quite apparent that NPCs are literally swimming in money with nothing to spend it on when I create them using the existing DMG tables for NPC wealth (DMG page 127). So I was thinking of slashing all NPC (and PC)...

I still say this is too much dragony-type flavor. Even if they aren't direct near descendants of dragons their name makes them thoroughly draconic. If this race was given a different name and backstory, or even made a variant Lizardfolk race (similar to those in Monster Manual III) they would be...

Given high enough ability scores and a generous enough DM, any character can be better than any other character at something.

True, that. Those would be the Risians or perhaps the Betazoids.

With the Year of the Dragon drawing to a close, I am positively sick of draconic-flavored monsters, feats, and so forth in my D&D. I've been looking forward to 2008 and wondering what WOTC will have in store, being thankful there will a definite end to the many dragon-themed accessories...

They should make gnomes be what you get when an elf and dwarf mommy and daddy really love each other...
