Get people to do what they want...help them, tell them stuff...., detect stuff.... Sleuthesayer. Oo! SootheSLAYer! OO! OO! SLEUTHESLAYER!!

I go with Vivomancy. AS the other (life-giving/positive energy) side of the Necromantic coin, that makes the most sense. Though I am also partial to "Vivocation" since it is more of a direct "energy/light" generating/warping/using. Collectively, I have the actual school being "Pneumamancy" -...

LG: Stop them. Return the item. More than likely, detain them til the watch arrives. If they got a good sob story, /maybe/, give the shop keep the money for it and/or let them go with a stern lecture on upholding the rules of society. NG: Pay for it. CG: Smirk. LN: Run them down to the end of...

What are the abilities FOR? Strength: I hit more often. I do more damage. I bend bars and lift gates. I'm, physically, more impressive. --Default: Fighter. Combat expert. -- -- Barbarian: Str. + Con., Combat expert with Battle Rage. -- -- Knight: Str. + Cha., Combat expert with Code of Honor...

My homebrew World of Orea uses a homebrew set of entities (and several others in the wings. Loooove making up pantheons/mythologies/religious systems). There are 4 "Elder" gods who were part of the world's original keepers who still exist. Dozens others have died/been slain or imprisoned...

Hmmm....I suppose it could. I would say, yes, I am inclined to carry those tropes to other games and settings. If I don't have an understanding of the metaphysics of a setting, then that would certainly curtail my ability, and possibly interest, in joining that game. Impact my "play," should I...

Well, for the first, I would never have/permit that....that an "oath," however heartfelt, just poof gets magical power. "Oath Magic" is not a type of magic that exists in my game/world. An oath of "conviction and purpose in their hearts," as you say, "are /granted/ power." So it's coming from...

I mean, from a DMing/world building perspective, yes it should be identifiable...even if that definition is "It's ineffable." My world uses both. Clerics (and other divinely powered classes) are - must, needs be- connected to an identified deific power (or collection thereof). A "God of such...

Faith is most certainly not enough to manifest divine power. Love, friendship, self-respect? All bunk. "Inner belief/belief in the self" as a justification means every delusional, schitzophrenic, narcissist, and/or just plain egotistical asshats in the game world would just be bursting with...

How I do it/think it should work... 1. Yes. Each Class should have their spell lists listed - preferably with a brief descriptive, no mechanics - in their Class pages/section. It gives a potential player immediate access to "look at the kinds of things you could/will be able do." It lends...

Nearly Every Character I've ever played Wizard Druid Psion Swordmage Ranger Cleric Few/Occasional but, ultimately, Enjoyable Characters Rogue Paladin Monk Never Played or Made Characters Bard Barbarian Fighter Classes Not Used/Existing in Games I've Played/or my Homebrew world Sorcerer Warlock...

I hate to begin sounding like a broken record at only the third post! hahaha. But, I suspect, many of us of a certain age are going to have very similar looking lists. I'll try not to repeat tooooo much. The Hobbit & Lord of the Rings trilogy, really has to have top billing. Once I was...

In Basic D&D (Holmes, I believe) you stood no chance but to fall before the dreaded doom of the THOUL! A troll - ghoul - and, I think, hobgoblin (was it?) . I think the lore is they were created by a typo/mistake that was just kept in. Then you never heard from them again.
