    Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil

    Awesome. You did it mostly right. Millstones cause injuries or death once in a while. The damage is a bit extensive though. A mere building collapse deals 1d8 damage per floors collapsing on you, as per Cityscape. If I understand right, that should have been 3-4d8 damage, plus the 1d6 damage...

    D&D 3.x gunslinger 3.75 vs ranger 3.5 who's the best gunner?

    I don't understand your meaning. That's how it works now. Naturally, anti-bullet armor should recieve bonuses against guns and crappy guns should recieve a fitting penalty to their stats. Besides, how is the magical bonus increase supposed to symbolize how good the armor is against bullets...

    Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil

    I'd love to hear more on the context of this!:D Why was breaking the wheel a good move?

    Point. I wonder why no one asked me questions before...

    Dilreen's Magic Aura

    I'd rephrase it into a more formal shape. And the changes you can bestow in the strength of the aura with the altering variant should be specified. You don't want players running around with the equalient of a big sign saying 'I'm a deity, epic level monsters, come get me!' or 'Everyone below...

    Recharge Magic and Reserve feats

    Since reserve feats function when you're able to cast a spell of a certain level, you should have constant benefits until you cast the spells entitling you for them, and regain them in the turn you regain the ability to cast a spell which fits the requirement. On a less related topic, don't...

    Creating an Island from Scratch...?

    If this island of yours isn't required to be any massive and you'd rather have a lower level caster, he could build his own floaton. I think a determined low-level caster working all day and night to achieve a goal makes a better story than an epic mage altering reality with a snap. All he'd...

    D&D 3.x gunslinger 3.75 vs ranger 3.5 who's the best gunner?

    I agree, Touch attacks used for guns is pretty dumb rule. And unrealistic, as well. Bullets from a handgun would pounce off of a plate armor like pebbles. I homebrewed the following to balance it: So muskets penetrate all armor like they did in real life, while the rest penetrate leather...

    Book of Insanity

    Wait wait wait. Sorry, I think I just failed that Will Save against impress talk(I'm histrionic myself). No, you've been helping a lot, and I particularly like your last idea, which I'm partially implementing in this very moment. I'd be more than happy if you'd continue to contribute to this...

    Book of Insanity

    I'd rather not go that far. If I let the players decide when madness kicks in the campaign would go straight down to Crazy Town(no pun intended). But since two is more than one, I think you guys beat me to it. What's the point of asking for help when you won't accept it when it's given, after...

    Heh, damn good point. Optional rule then.

    Book of Insanity

    Proposal accepted. Also, make note of the new fix above. It fits the symptom it represents(i.e. misjudging level of intimacy) more as well. Do you have an idea how to represent rash decision making? I'm really stuck with it.

    Book of Insanity

    Oof. You are right. Let me change the wording a wee bit(Changes are marked with bold text). Edit: Nevermind, you are even more right. That rule is stupid. I'll have to figure out something else.

    Book of Insanity

    Amen. There is truth behind your words. If I had the opporturnity, I'd choose the normal person for a party member over the abnormal. Mad people are obviously handicapped in the adventure industry. Even so, rules for disorders don't work for PCs(and rather fuzzy for NPCs as well, to be blunt)...

    Book of Insanity

    I said 'Schizophrenia is an exception'. That means it's not part of what I was talking about. The theory Kingius presents is interesting, though; it's not impossible, but I hope it's not a mind control byproduct. Freakish! Sociopathy is still only a problem within a society, as weird as that...

    Book of Insanity

    The three of you missed the point of this thread. I'm not just badmouthing how silly Sanity rules are in 3rd edition. The rules we are currently presented with are not playable in D&D. Greenfield himself pointed out how silly and annoying the current rules for manias are, and the rest is no...

    Book of Insanity

    Okay, this hurt a little bit. You're onto the hardest issue at hand. But the short answer is yes. More on it below. Exactly what I meant by 'parodies of real people who are nothing like what these rules suggest'. Kender are hilarious, yes, and really are unplayable. Kender aren't just...

    Book of Insanity

    (WARNING: This thread may feel extremely serious. That is, if nobody ruined the mood I tried to set.) Before I start, I have to make some facts clear. The few days I spent here on EN World(Damn good time, I had), those more perceptive fellows who have read my posts(or rather, what's under them)...

    Help me list spells that make skills irrelevant.

    I knew I saw this somewhere! Aiming at the Target, for Concentration checks made to maintain spells!

    Neanderthals

    They were? Man, that's... dissapointing. Humanity is dissapointing. Though I guess it makes more sense. I sorta thought we got interbred the "Sapiens meets Neanderthal, the fall in love, etc." way.
