I like the take a -4 penalty if you were firing into combat or you might hit your own folks rule it did help to cut down on that abuse of course you could take a Feat to cancel that but most of the time only archer types did that. That being said I feel that archery is not the threat it...

Personally I do not like it from a GMs point of view as it requires me to keep track of more variables than I see necessary. Way back in 2nd Ed I created a more generic magic system and many of its elements are in the 3.5 Ed/Pathfinder as well as different elements now in the 5 Ed but the two...

Great thanks Queenie, you can sign me up for ships Doctor (assuming there is still a slot) as that fit what I was considering on playing. Where are the character creation rules located? I am sure I could eventually find them but I am guessing one of you could point me to it much faster. Also...

Okay many professional athletes will tell you talent (attribute bonus) can only take you so far then skill must take over so to perhaps get this concept to work as you are suggesting why not do this. Raw Attribute Bonus (RAB) << always round up -- necessary to reward someone for that max 20...

Here is a chance to make some of those skills that no one seems to take become very very useful and you can use this to set the stage to keep making them useful. There is a history question, make a Intelligence-History check the higher your roll the better you score... make them need to achieve...

Hey instead of double the number of creatures just give them character levels -- almost all my humanoid creatures alive or undead had character levels in all versions of D&D that I ran 1st through 4th and will have them in 5e when I get that game finally started. As for magic resistance are...

Hey EarlyBird how do you get a picture inserted into a post -- I see the BBCode reference but not sure how to translate the picture into that numeric value?

I understand the why of this but that does not work well either -- I mean I requested once to have my Cleric (Trickery) trade their Medium Armor Proficiency for just about anything because they were Dex based and were never going to wear Medium Armor so dumping them into a single basket does not...

I concur with Flexor, Harnmaster was rather realistic as your character could die from a wound long after the fight was over, which is often how various historical individuals died. They survived the battle but succumbed to the wounds they had received weeks later. That aside your focus is...

Actually that is not true Saelorn if we go back and examine this when it got started you made no assertion that this applied to a Homebrew setting at all. In fact you asserted the opposite that it pertained to D&D as a whole per RAW although you never actually used the word RAW but you did...

Yeah imagine that, the only thing you have proven is that you cannot seem to extrapolate just about anything nor are you all that observant. If you had been you would have noticed that reply was in response to someone defending your position on this topic using a very similar argument to the one...

As some folks have pointed out it depends greatly upon the party as to what constraints you wish to place upon the contract or if you have one at all but let me wander done that path with a few musings of my own from past experience and maybe you will get some incites As stated you have to...

Or leave them lumped together and let the GM be responsible for making them worth something or not worth something within their games -- something I believe the designers decided to do with everything -- aka let the GM dictate its usefulness and simply rate them equivalent based on functionally...

Up where ?? I am not sure where we are supposed to post it and/or what that is supposed to look like do you? Or do you know where that might be explained?

Boy your limitation on reading must be pretty severe because frankly there are numerous books (fiction) that have folks that can do obvious miracles -- further it was historically believed by the general populace that these religious folks could do miracles and they did do things that may have...

Okay granted my Mentor would be a Wizard but that does not mean he could not have a hand in your education as well (Hogwarts ;)). Perhaps you are one of his sons, or nephew or you simply came to him for instruction and guidance in using magic. I think if he were truly sick that a more high...

Now there is a solid point -- if you take a Feat you get the +1 Attribute and 2 Skill Proficiency governed by the attribute you selected.

Go back and read Post #41 as apparently you did not -- since you did not quote it as something I stated. Next why not answer the questions I posed rather than simply deflect. Okay I will simply hopefully end this by saying - Your claim that the designers did not feel that Tool Proficiency were...

Awesome sauce okay Charwoman Gene I have one other approval item for the character that I need to run by you. This character is mainly a Rogue due to life style of growing up (which will be evident with the backstory) and thus has never been associated with a Thieves Guild -- the previous GM...

Things that make you go hmmmm So I wonder where do you think the designers for these games got the ideas for some of these spells and abilities... pulled them out of their magic hats ?? No... they pulled many of them from real historic religions and mythos stories -- Also did you know that the...
