    Custom Race Idea.... The Living Weapon

    I think they are called intelligent weapons, If you want to play one, you need someone to pick you up with a weak mind so you can win an ego contest, and thus you have control over the body of whoever picks up the weapon that you are. What would you do next?

    So what exactly is the root cause of the D&D rules' staying power?

    Walmart sells music CDs, I bought a few recently, right next to the video DVDs. Some of us don't trust the internet for making purchases, as we don' want hackers getting a hold of our information and draining our accounts. I would probably buy more software, If I didn't have to download it...

    D&D 3.x D20 Pirates Blog--Updated

    So Wodan is "Mercury" Freya is "Venus" Tyr is "Mars" Thonar is "Jupiter" and Kronos is "Saturn" as it is for the Greeks. So it looks like you picked names from different pantheons of gods for the various planets. What are the conditions like on Each planet? I believe Freya is the Venus stand...

    Suppose we substituted 3d6 for a d20 roll?

    So we would have to alter the magic item list instead of having weapons with magical bonuses of +1 to +5, we would have only +1 weapons and +2 weapons, but you know what, they could still have the same old magical damage bonuses. To give you an example, these would be the sorts of magical...

    Suppose we substituted 3d6 for a d20 roll?

    Here is a chart for approximate conversions between d20 rolls and 3d6 rolls: A short little explanation in in order. For everything we'd ordinarily roll a d20 for we roll 3d6s instead, not just any 3d6s but specifically 2d6 consisting to two white dice plus 1 red d6, you add them up normally to...

    Historic Old World Fantasy New World

    If were using D&D rules, then the spell Cure Disease will cure whatever diseases the Europeans bring, the only question is at what level Cure disease becomes available? I think diseases will still ravage the landscape, as their will only be so many clerics of high enough level to cast Cure...

    Thanks, that's really illustrative of the sort of setting this World is about. Since I don't know what names you've given to the continents of the New World, I'll ask this question using the labels I've supplied. Are there any Terranova colonies yet? By my definition "Terranova" includes the...

    So its basically a Wildspace setting with Spelljammer rules. Have you got Spelljammer rules for 3.5/Pathfinder? Also with spelljammers flying around through Wildspace, someone is bound to look down on Homeworld and discover four extra continents, what would in our world be called North America...

    Historic Old World Fantasy New World

    Let me reinterate, this is my interpretation of what I think something like "Dragon Conquer America" should have been. Here we have D&D dragons ad many other fantasy Creatures. I will discard the half world magic barrier, and will say simply that magic does not exist in what we know of as the...

    Dragons Conquer America Interview with Designer, JC Obal

    They are dragons, not human! I don't see why they should care whether a human is male or female, I don't suppose they mate with them do they? Can they transform into human form such as dragons from Dragonlance? Would a human care whether their dragon is male or female? Does it work the other way...

    Dragons Conquer America Interview with Designer, JC Obal

    I don't know how you breed dragons if there is only a single gender! It also seems that dragons in this setting are just dumb beasts if they allow themselves to be bred like this. In Dungeons & Dragons, dragons are intelligent, they talk, and can cast magic spells, I doubt those sorts of dragons...

    Historic Old World Fantasy New World

    This is what I was thinking of when I misinterpreted "Dragons Conquer America" "Dragons Conquer America" doesn't really make sense if the Dragons are already there. Under my scenario the reason magic doesn't cross from the New World to the Old is because magic doesn't work in the Old World but...

    Dragons Conquer America Interview with Designer, JC Obal

    Putting a fire breathing dragon in a wooden ship would be a big problem I think, a lot more difficult than transporting horses and cattle!

    Dragons Conquer America Interview with Designer, JC Obal

    Honestly this changes things beyond all recognition. So much of what Europe was in 1492 depended on what went on before and having dragons as flying mounts changes things too much for anything to be recognizable. For instance if Leif Erikson had dragon mounts, he could have flown over to North...

    Dragons Conquer America Interview with Designer, JC Obal

    I'm just being a bit careful here, trying not to offend anybody. The nearest old world Empire I would compare the Aztecs to would be Ancient Egypt, both civilizations were pyramid builders, and both sacrificed humans to their gods. In the case of Egypt, they sacrificed servants (ie slaves) so...

    Dragons Conquer America Interview with Designer, JC Obal

    When real people are involved and are the subject of an RPG game, that makes it risky to comment on. I could make some suggestions on what I think may happen, but perhaps I shouldn't, let me just say their is some good and some bad on both sides. I would not speculate on who's going to win, its...

    Dragons Conquer America Interview with Designer, JC Obal

    I can see a couple of butterflies. 1) The Aztecs have dragons and magic, if this prevents them from being conquered so easily by the Spaniards, what does this do to the English? The English have no colonies, in or history, many English sea captains lived by plundering Spanish ships laden with...

    Dragons Conquer America Interview with Designer, JC Obal

    Muskets are inaccurate at long ranges, and there would be cannon as well. I'm not sure the Spaniards won't get a hold of some dragons and domesticate them for their own purposes. The World political situation is somewhat beyond the scope of individual PCs, unless the PCs carve out their own...
