Well, hmmm, bearing in mind that I think the setting is much better done then the Exalted are here is how I would do it. DnD + Creation Cosmology (much of this is going to be pretty similar to Hong's Idea): Elemental Chaos=Beyond the Poles of Creation Shadowfell=Underworld Feywild=Rakshastan...

Even the Pax Romana periods of the Empire still had a reputation for brigandage, piracy, and highwaymen, though. Tax collection could easily be a part of a PoL setting. And such two fisted accountants would likely be the canniest and most deadly individuals you would meet.

Looking at the aura powers, would it be seriously unbalancing to rerule them as bonuses to aid another actions? You know Elf gives +4 on aid another bonuses to Perception rather than +2. It makes it an active rather than passive bonus, but it also helps an otherwise underused mechanic and...

I think Creation, the setting for the Exalted game, is a pretty great PoL setting. You'd have to decide how much of the actual Exalted - humans with demi-god like powers who run around mucking things up - you'd like to include, but with two exceptions you can pretty much ignore them. 1.) The...

All you need to do to be a survivable PoL is to be a less attractive target than your immediate context. For most places this is probably achieved at some point on the nexus of 'too much trouble' and 'not worth it.' Though there are other strategies. Crisis migration should be popular where...

I'm doing my PoL in an advanced stone age setting. Something like medieval North America with dwarves, dragonborn, and a secret world ruling conspiracy of undead giant priests. Metal weapons and armor are occassionally available but the vast majority of tools and the tech base as a whole...

Dune?

We don't know that none of the fighter's powers function with the bow. We just now that the one's we've seen don't and that the fighter is no longer bow optimal. The rogue's sneak attack works with a crossbow, and if there isn't a set of crossbow sniper powers now there soon will be. At least...

Speculations. Sorry I deleted that bit. For the sake of the thread it was: Primal is to boons, and Shadow is to Rites as Divine is to Prayers and Arcane is to Spells. I had just been saying that the only categories I'd seen mentioned by WotC were Divine, Martial, Arcane, Shadow, Primal...

Y'know, I love that book, but it has its own artificial restrictions. Personally I think the 4E approaches dovetails nicely with it. BoIM - Blinding Strike comes with penalties to success 4E - But Once a Day or so Random the Rogue can pull it off without any penalties whatsoever. As long...

WitchHunter/Exorcist/Inquisitor - Major Inspiration: Wuxia style exorcists and Solomon Kane Role: Striker - Hit em with massive swords, flame, and condition bestowing divine edicts. Move with total disregard for your own safety and get loads of tracking effects for running people and demons...

I was thinking more along the lines of linked tiles than fitted. That way someone comes along and says, "I've designed a tile. It's so big and so wide, and does X in an interesting way. I think it would link well to other tiles with this river, this mountain pass, and this passage from the...

2E Druids were shapeshifters. They could go elemental and everything. And 3E Druids were also nature priests.

Honestly - a Druid in DnD is as unique a concept to DnD as a Beholder. You talk about beholder in any other context and it most certainly does not mean a floating eye topped with short tentacles which themselves are topped with eyes. In the context of DnD it just means that. You talk about a...

I was thinking that a wiki format would be pretty interesting. That way you can let people set up links to other locations or off of generic tag lines.

I had a thread earlier asking people for the ideas on points of light. A community here, a community there, and pretty soon you have a decent constellation. But I think going at it frame by frame would work well too. Might require more work by DMs both in terms of making the frames and...

If you're going with the action + psyche option here are some potential correllaries: 1.) This particular zone stresses brain chemistry enough that you need a full REM cycle to recover to a prepped state. 2.) An undifferentiated use of the zone is an action point. Daily powers rely on...

Right, in terms of flavor I prefer the summoning style druid, but I voted for shaper for the simple fact that there are any number of other classes that do summoning. Druids have traditionally been the only shapes in the game. It's an interesting mechanic and I think if the class needs focus...

Outside of combat I just let the holy symbol and a prayer count for the attack.
