I like this, particularily the Bull one. Maybe even have character assume (at least slightly) physique of a Bull. Make it have longer duration and effect on both charisma and strength. Inspired by your example here is my idea as to Bull's strength spell: Bull's Strength: Casting Time: 2 hours...

Here is my scholar class. It is supposed to go with the basic rundown of the rules I suggested before: The Scholar Scholars are lore-masters and alchemists. Sages and explorers came from their number but so do the Demonologists and Necromancers. They are counter-part to the rogues in that...

My own ideas so far are following (mind you those are somewhat drastic, I am talking entirely different d20 game here): -All spell-casting classes are prestige classes with requirements that make them possible only at arround level 5. -There is a variety of prestige spell-casters but if they...

I happend not to like gurps and to like d20. I also do not think I have disturbed you in any way unless just seeing words low magic and DnD in the same sentence in the title of the tread you are not forced to read is somehow insulting you, so I am not sure what am I supposed to do in order to...

Reading this boards over last several months I have found out that there exists a substantial minority of DM's who have simmilar attitude to DnD and d20 to mine. This attitude is that it is a great system but that when it comes to fantasy it tends to lend itself to the somewhat peculiar...

I always had a feeling he is not going to put Scouring of the Shire in. It deviates from the standard there-and-back-again formula of fantasy. In my oppinion it is one of the key parts of the book as it shows how the hobbit members of the party have "grown up" in the world. More than anything I...

YOU DONT HAVE HALBERD YOU... :D Joking aside, it looks like a realy good idea to me. Anything that makes combat more intersting without introducing more magic and more fantastic monsters is good in my books. Looking forward to your book.

Thanks muchly, I was actualy surprised how well system turned out in my first playtest of it. Huge number of questions does not reflect my dissatisfaction, rather I am almost certanly going to use it so I want to do it right. What I would be realy happy to see one day from Mongoose is the book...

more questions: 11) In OMCS, if I have a unit of creatures that have 2 or more HD and want to calculate number of creatures downed by the loss of x unit HP (for the reasons of figuring out outmatching, say) how do I do it ? Do I assume that x/2 creatures have been lost or does everybody loses...

I just finished reading TQF and am fairly happy (review is in the works). OMCS, while somewhat less detailed then I would desire is actualy quite good. Only thng that I find a bit confusing is the whole everyone can charge anyone else and everyone is in the range of all archers. -First of all...

So poor that it takes them 20 days of work to buy an empty barell ? Not even third world has so low product/labour value ratios and keep in mind that in third world price of "product" is greatly inflated by the 1st world know-how and technology that goes into it, which was not situation in...

Romans throughout most of their glory days did not do either (unless ordered). But they had infrastructure to support them. Medieval armies kind of have to (at least plunder) in order to survive but even here things were not so bad throughout middle ages as they became during the wars of...

high demand != low prices My intersat in economy is purely amateurish but even I know that the demand does *Not* generate downwards pressure on prices either in long or short term. If a labour/skill intensive product is in high demand and there is no technology that can expedite its production...

I know that I am probably the ony person in the world who is bothered by the things like this but... Have you noticed that, in DnD world, average labourer needs to work 20 days (and not eat) in order to buy the empty barrel or a crowbar. That the daily wage will buy you a poor meals for the day...

I loved it. It is arcane only. Great point about is it that gives mechanics that explain why the necromancers are the unsavoury types the fantasy literature has them as. It is great atmosphere book and a good mechanics book. MAde me think radicaly differntly about how magic should work in my...

I am not a big fan of median but agree that the idea of having outliers count for 50% is probably decent (if something like that is to be done). I personaly like the 7 reviews+ rule as it keeps the top lists to established classics. What would be a good thing to have to offset this is "top 10...

I just read the most excellent Bushfighter class by Ken Hood representing the non-magical take on the Ranger. As it happends I realy could use simmilar non magical take on Paladin and even more importantly on Priest. If anyone knows of any such on the net or in print I would like to know. Also...

Exceptionaly well done. I wish some of my reviews were as good. It was particularily usefull to me as I was intending to get SFG but have zero interest in underwater andventuring and will therefore save myself a wad of money and stick with SoB. This is exactly what a good review should...

For a change I agree with Psion. HAving feat let you "take 20" is a clumsy mechanic.

Sources ? I believe that when Socrates says that most other Athenians-defendants would have brought their wife and kids to appear in-front of the judges he thinks of the wifes and kids of Athenian citizens. Also when Xhantippa appears in jail at the begining of Phaedo to beg her husband not to...
