"Half-Soldier" Early in a campaign I ran, a barbarian who had just recently left his tribe entered a tavern in the first town he had ever visited. He noticed a dwarf sitting at a table enjoying a mug of ale. The barbarian saunters over and takes a seat opposite the dwarf and promptly offers...

The game I'm currently running a game w/ a paladin, cleric, cleric/sorcerer, cleric, and rogue. They stay alive a long time :) with their multitude of healing. It's worked well with essentially four religious-types in the game. The cleric class allows a lot of leeway, depending on the...

Have the boxed set (it is fantastic - lots of GREAT material in it) - the problem is that the minotaurs in 2E were unbalanced as well :rolleyes: The problem for me is making them bigger and stronger than half-orcs (as I know them to be) but still keeping them ECL 0 As far as the map goes, I...

Sure. Do you think the minotaur ability modifiers (+4 Str, -2 Wis, -2 Cha) are balanced for the race? Also, take a look at the Pretender (pg. 18-20) PrC - I think that it's over-powered moreso than the other classes.

Crothian - My apologies - I meant to note the length of the document, but it slipped my mind in all my excitement for finally having this mostly done. ;) As you already guessed, this is the culmination of several months work (but does that not mean my pride in it is too high to make changes)...

This will have to serve as bit of a bump :) Anyone who wants to more about the campaign (actually the campaign world) visit my player's guide: Player's Guide to the Corrlands 1.5MB - 51pgs

I'm looking for feedback, suggestions, and the like for a guide I made for players in my home-brewed world. I've made a PDF that includes all the information that a player would need in this world. I left out tons of info that they do not need, and some of this is a little bit of...

Do you think limiting class powers by ability scores is the way to go? That seems kinda lame if a character works up to level 16 and can't use bear form because he's too low on Constitution. How about if there are temp penalties for the other three stats (Int, Wis, Cha) along with the bonuses...

Try this variant class on for size - I was doing this up right about when this thread started. Good timing. Lycanthropic Druid In place of the druid class presented in the Player's Handbook, there exists an order that dabbles with the art of lycanthropy. They do consider this disease, or...

I am about to start a new campaign in the Auburn area and am looking for a few new players. The games would be weekly, and the current plan is to have them on Saturday night, but that could change if it doesn't fit with schedules. The world is very homebrewed - 8 years in the making. I can...

Thank you all so much for your replies - I'll post my grade in a week =)

At the behest of Randolpho - here's me paper so far. Here's my disclaimer: 1. First draft - I know the order and language will change a bit. 2. I wrote this before these posts - I'll change some things and add a lot of the opinions here. Any constructive criticism or ideas are always...

The paper's not going to center too much around these responses - it's about analyzing the culture and structure of a D&D (or RPG in general) group. This was more to get a feel about why people get into the groups and how they interact with each other (which I found some contrast to my five+...

These are great :) Thank you kindly - they're going to help me about a bit.

It's a little paper - just for general soc, nothing major. But your idea for a broader study of the conversion of community organization is an intriguing one, and has much merit. Fortunately though, I only have to analyze the culture and structure within the standard gaming group (relying...

'Tis good stuff - keep it comin please! :D Don't feel the need to confirm what others have said, and don't feel like you can't copy - no right or wrong answers here people.

I'm writing a sociology paper about the culture and structure of the "typical" D&D group - of course drawing heavily upon my own. I would like to hear some opinions of why people here play - either in the role of DM/GM or player. I personally play [as a DM] because I like the opportunity to...

Thanks for the reply - and the equal advancement is a killer idea - but pulling it off with classes as different as God of War and God of Love? :) Now when you say tough requirements, do you mean raising the level that this can be taken (from 6th to 9th or so on) or just force them to use every...

IMC, I'm trying to get back the flavor of the 2E Specialty Priests by doing PrC's. Using standard entrance req's, with the dominant mode of entry being cleric (requiring divine magic on each one) - I'm having trouble coming up with concepts or inspiration for a boatload of my 25 gods. Here's...
