I agree that this would be a valid way to interpret LotR in D&D terms (you could have added the counterspell in the mines as well), but I don't think it was the inspiration for any ofthe D&D spells.

Roman already gave that implicitly -- he mentioned that the distributions are normal. First, standardize the scores (setting mean=0 and stdev = 1): (A-G)/M (B-H)/N (C-I)/O If you have only one score, you're done -- just use it, or convert backward into the other forms. If you have two or...

No, we just wanted to kick Gruumsh off first. Now Moradin has to go -- ripping off the Tolkien mythos is good as homage, but doesn't exactly show creativity.

Yay, getting rid of racial deities!

Oh, so you were just complaining about that aspect of 3E -- not about the article. Right? :confused:

What ever are you talking about, Psion? From the article: "1st editions horned devils (malebranche) have since split into two distinct devils, the horned devils (cornugon) and malebranche."

Wha...? I've never seen a half-orc use a spiked chain before. The few spiked chain wielders in my campaign have all been human.

It's very strong.

Thank you very much!

1. I don't think that multiclassing is too easy, largely because I don't agree with you on what it means. It very seldom represents a changed profession -- more likely it's an intermediate position between two (or sometimes more) classes. Bacris and Aaron L, above, explain this well. 2...

They're for when your players try to steal the Donjon card, so you can label the OGL card with "Donjon" in marker. :p

I would say that Vance was the main inspiration, but it's gone a way afield since. Tolkien's books inspired nothing of the D&D spellcasting, though surely they inspired many other elements of the game (treants=ent, halflings=hobbit, balors=balrog, worgs=warg, werebear=Beorn, giant eagles=Gwahir...

If you really want it to combine both fighter and wizard roughly evenly, full base attack isn't enough -- it will need feats or it will be a wizard with a bit of fallback combat ability. I'd give it weak abilities elsewhere to make this as good as possible -- d8 with 2 skill points.

Just about anything other than full caster level is an extra bonus beyond what the normal cleric gets, though.

Fast movement, evasion, and full caster level are all powerful. The class gives up only turning (well, and trades a point of Fort and Base Attack for a few extra points of Will) and gains a lot. I'd sooner add another cool ability to the class on 3rd level, take away caster level on 3, and...

What kind of CRs will you have in Fort Karaktil and Twisted Menagerie? What rules-to-text proportion are you looking at for Altered Realities -- mostly crunch, mostly flavor, or midway between? Cool, what are you taking? I might be going back to school for a Masters (probably Math or...

I like it, but Apostrophe's Storefront? :D (I think there's a name missing in the page title -- it reads 's Storefront at the moment.)

You liked the uvuudaum? I liked most of the ELH monsters, but I never thought much of this one. What did you like about it?

Likewise, sadly.
