    My World's Dwarves

    This is a very interesting read... do you happen to have a complete Campaign or Players Guide available for download? I really enjoy the mythology you've created... I can't wait to see what you've done with some of the other core races :) William Holder

    Alternate Turn Undead Rules

    Seems a bit potent IMHO... maybe dropping it down to 1d6 per 2 Cleric Levels would be more in line... that said, anything is better than the archaic charts used in the PHB. William Holder

    EoM Question: Summon Construct

    Ummm, not sure Diplomacy would work on an unintelligent being... closer to Handle Animal (1 or 2 Int)... though for 0 Int that might not even work... Either way just summon it... let whoever you are fighting think it's under your command and when they hit it, the construct will defend itself...

    What to do with Spontaneous Casters

    If you want to build spells from the ground up I would highly recommend Elements of Magic: Revised. You can find a link to it on my bookshelf if interested. Good Gaming, William Holder

    This is usually the part where people start screaming...

    How about this... each time you take the feat you gain a single power permanently. Of these extra Powers you may drop one in favor of a new power if you do not have an "open" feat available. So you take the feat twice and kill two Psions within a week. You've gained two new powers... yay! The...

    Shooting for LA+1...

    Thanks for taking the time. You are correct... thanks for catching that... I'll revise it to include Medium Armor as well. Low side of LA +1 isn't as much a problem... my primary goal is to balance these against each other.... if they are all LA +1 then my goal should be complete. True. I...

    Advice needed: PC Alignment, and NPC question

    Evil PC's The usual problems running evil PC's aside you need to have a really good hook to keep them focused. The idea of acquiring wealth and power is usually enough motivation for an evil group... however if their is only one item of interest the inter-party fight will be inevitable to...

    EoM-R House Rules

    On a side note... I stated that Touch AC to hit was too good so we dropped it. In our latest game we added it back in however, we also added the Defensive Bonus found in Unearthed Arcana. So far it has worked out amazingly well. At the beginning of each turn a player states if they are using...

    EoM-R House Rules

    It is IMHO that Magical Calling can potentially be broken... let's suppose someone takes 6 Infuse list... including Infuse Time. Later they take Infuse Specialist and Magical Calling. Any Infuse they cast will last 10 Minutes. Now a level 5 Mage/15 Fighter can act twice in every round for 10...

    EoM-R House Rules

    I apologize for the delay... Our revision looks something like this... Divine (Alignment) - Dowse - Points you to the location of the highest concentration (Infuse can give a false positive reading). Divine (Creature) - Dowse - Points you to the location of the highest concentration (Transform...

    I just learned the Psionic rules, and I have questions.

    In a Second Edition game I played in the DM allowed Psionics but it was very confined and regulated. Wizards could read signs and omens to determine generally where and when a Psion would be born. They would dispatch a small group to either capture or kill the child. If the child was captured...

    Spells that make you go "Why do I show up?"

    If you are going to let the PC's save each round I would increase the DC by atleast +2 each round they struggle against it until half the duration is spent then start lowering the DC by 2. Example: Fear cast by a level 7 Wizard with a 18 Int Round 1 DC = 18 Round 2 DC = 20 Round 3 DC = 22...

    Enervation

    I believe Hypersmurf is correct... keep in mind there are ways to boost your "effective caster level" beyond your actual level. If your effective level is below the minimum to cast then you can not cast. I see this as being similar to Feats you lose the prerequisite for... a Fighter who just...

    Your favorite alternate D&D magic system?

    I would be very interested to see your notes on this... Elements of Magic: Revised (slightly modified) gets my vote. The D&D Psionics system is second and what I use when I play in a "standard" game. William Holder
