Consider the 16 PrCs in the DMG took 22 pages. Thats 1.375 pages each. 36 Prcs times 1.375 is 49.5 pages of PrCs. I dont use PrCs thus nearly 1/3 of the book is a waste of time for me.
I start by laying out the overall plan or goal of the BBEG or Guys. I determine what they want to accomplish. How they plan to do it. Then throw in 2 or 3 contingency plans for those nosy advernturing types. Then I determine where I plan on starting my PCs (country, town, whatever). Throw...
All I would like to add is go see "Kill Bill" to see a high level unarmored warrior dodge a bunch of blows :D
That and I am very much in favor of class based dodge bonuses.
I agree with you. I dont use alignment either but I have a sort of divine energy. Works against anyone who doesnt belive in the same faith. Nice and clean that way. I find it simplifies things and makes them more intriguing at the same time.
Curious:
How did you resolve such things as Holy weapons, Smith Evil, Protection from Alignments Spells, etc IYCW?
Oh an example of a Chaotic society modern day Russia or former Eastern Block country or any recently freed/independent country in its infancy or setting up a new form of government...
I am certainly hoping for a little more modularity among the core character classes both in terms of special abilities and what roles they fill. A fighter should be able to represent the lighty armored mobile swashbuckler, the hulking Tank, or the fleet footed Archer. Perhaps each class should...
In terms of any of the following:
Classes
Mechanics
Spells
Balance
Alignment
Feats
Prestige classes
Monsters

I was hoping for a slightly more flexible class system that does away with all these alignment requirements that are still holding over from 1E. A Paladin that can choose...
Hobgoblins are one of my favs too. I use a slightly different Hobgoblin with a +2 to Str, Dex, Con, and +4 move silently and weapon familiarity swords, axes, and bows. Very scary race.
I am also fond of Vampires, Devils, and Yuan-Ti.
One of the problems I have with 3.5 is the combination DR requirements. Like a Pit Fiend requiring Good & Silver just to be effected. I think these combinational types do more to add to the PC "Golfbag" effect than anything else. I also play in a non-alignment based game (Outsiders excepted)...
Wait a sec! I thought Falsa Doom was the quintessential cleric of an evil god. He was the chief cleric of Set and he behaved EXACTLY like an evil D&D cleric.
That was exactly what I was wondering. It seems like a method similar to the the Paladins and Druids would work fine instead of having to spend a feat.
Should Wizards and Sorcerers need to take the Improved Familiar Feat to pick up different familiars at higher level despite the fact that Druids, Paladins and Rangers do not.
I use a 32 Point DISTRIBUTION....not buy.
Basically all stats start at 8 and the character can distribute the 32 points however they see fit (up to 18). Stats do not cost more points as they increase. I use a 25 point distribution for commoners.
I use this method because it allows people to...

Killing a group of people over an insult is pretty evil. Just because somebody doesnt go around slaughtering every person he comes across doesnt mean he is neutral. Neutrals seek to avoid killing unless given no other recourse. He kills when it seems the most efficient way to accomplish...
