    Making a Homebrew Race, Need Your Help Balancing it

    I'm familiar with the Warlock, just not the Binder, still, I don't want to add more complication to this race than is necessary, and theres nothing stopping you from changing it from Wizard to Warlock/Binder/Favored Soul/... I guess what I'm saying is, is that if I can summarize with only the...

    Making a Homebrew Race, Need Your Help Balancing it

    I don't know what a Binder is, and a Warlock is more of a demonic energy thing, unless I make the power more from madness or something. Also, I was assuming that the players will only have the 3 Core Rulebooks.

    Making a Homebrew Race, Need Your Help Balancing it

    I based most of the stat boosts off of the Half-Farspawn template, and I think it still makes sense. Yes, Madness does indeed drop Wisdom thanks to the mortal mind's inability to take in everything going on in the Far-Realm. However, since this is a thing with Far-Realm ancestry, they are...

    Making a Homebrew Race, Need Your Help Balancing it

    I see what you mean by the Wizard thing, but in a Role-Play perspective, a Wizard would probably make the most sense.

    Making a Homebrew Race, Need Your Help Balancing it

    Alright, so when I first made this race, I never really differentiated Blindsight from Blindsense, but then after looking it up, it turns out there was a difference, so I changed that to Blindsense. I also got rid of the Natural Armor, though I feel that its a little more neutered now for a +1...

    Making a Homebrew Race, Need Your Help Balancing it

    So I've come up with 5 of these races that I intend to be adequate for PCs, but I won't flood these boards with all 5 of those right away, for now, I'll just flood these boards with 1 at a time perhaps. So this first race here I intended to have as a +1 LA, and I'm calling it a Tsaghoal for...

    The Player Appreciation Thread

    My players assert their characters into the scope of the story that they are driving forward, taking it in directions I never planned for while keeping it relevant. My players made realistic characters, and interacts with each other as their characters would, and addresses the other players by...

    Need Help Brainstorming How A Xenophobic Empire Can Arise

    Thats a good thought, but the way I have it, the gods, and the non-human races are 100% real like the humans. I think the term I mean is, they consider science to be the higher pursuit than magic or even deific power. Science was always there, but it wasn't really so important with magic doing...

    Need Help Brainstorming How A Xenophobic Empire Can Arise

    I know I keep coming here constantly with questions, but thats what these forums are for, yes? First off, my campaign is of a D&D style, but thats not the important thing, what is important is that I get ideas on how a Xenophobic Empire can arise from an existing one. So what I want is for an...

    As a DM, what is your default answer to player requests?

    Oh, my bad. Well if a player were to do something in game that they can't do, I prefer to do a "Yes, but" or a "No, but" approach. Never say "No" and only "No", because "No" contributes nothing. If given a reason, then the player will get an idea as to what or what not to do, and the why of it.

    Looking for a Special Kind of Online Dice-Roller...

    Thanks for the suggestion! The problem is though is that it still shows the number of dice I rolled even though it didn't count any roll of 7 or below.

    As a DM, what is your default answer to player requests?

    I just tell the person that I have no more room for anybody to join in. If the person can't take that response, I probably wouldn't want them playing in my game even if I had room.

    Looking for a Special Kind of Online Dice-Roller...

    So I've been googling away at Online Dice Rollers, and many of them look great, but none of them have a particular feature I'm looking for... The feature I'm looking for is one where if I say, for example, roll a 100D20. That when I roll the dice, I can also select an option to "Ignore all...

    RPG music

    Give Erdenstern a shot, these guys make music and title them according to a situation. Their stuff is on iTunes. Also, I know you said no words, but I found a folk album that I like to use by a band named Ulver called, "Kveldssanger". I don't think the vocals get in the way, but the few vocals...

    Advice for GMing a Plotted Campaign?

    I'm currently trying to run a very long term adventure with multiple chapters. Some advice that I will give is more on the perspective of a writer: 1. What is at stake? When I ask this question, I mean, what is going on in the world that the players must see to resolving. Once you know whats...

    DMs: What are your character pet peeves?

    By the looks of it, I'm pretty flexible with what the players can be and do, so long as if they add to everyone's fun, and so long as if I can work with it. But even then, I have a few archetypes I won't allow. 1. The Munchkin The term Munchkin comes from a term used by older gamers to talk...

    Gestalt Bard Campaign: Making Perform Checks More Than A d20 Roll

    Though a good thought, I'm just going with the old cliche explanation for "Its magic".
