Personally I've never liked the half-orc and half-elf being viable - i.e. capable of having children.... but then I'm a geneticist. So my world not only are these cross-breeds very rare, but they are also the end of their line. Not had any characters play either yet - so far it's just been...

Player Races At the moment (i.e. until I expand out from the area I'm currently detailing) my world has 6 races suitable for PCs - humans, halflings, elves, dwarves, orcs and lizard-men. The orcs and elves are either very isolated or isolationist so there currently aren't any of them in the...

intereating concept.... a little worrying :uhoh: in some ways but interesting none the less. Does require some fairly powerful magic though.

No the god doesn't want dependence on one man, but does want a flock (again assuming a good deity here) so is going to mandate that his/her magic is used for the benefit of that flock. No the cleric won't drain himself every night, but he's also not likely to hold back every night. Remember...

Absolutely right Piratecat... my point is that at some point most are likely to have benefited from the cleric's aid... not that he has a queue outside his door every evening with people waiting to see if he's got any magical energy left.

This is an assumption - there is nothing anywhere to indicate this. I don't deny it takes the clerics constant devotion - so involves his time, but he is a servant of his god... he isn't going to spurn the use of his devotion to his god in times of need.

KM - nice article, and a great help to me in making a 'high magic' world but where I don't want magic to be ubiquitous. However 1- That 2nd level cleric can cast 2 spells a day! Is he really holding back from helping the needy just because they can't afford his fee. What god of healing is...

The only one that springs to mind straight away is make sure your next character does similar sort of things... and see if your DM will help make sure your character can pull off what you say. That way your looter may start losing out on the goods and realize it's a lot less fun for all. Not...

I really like the fact that this makes clerics much more diverse and much more connected to their choice of religion. The fact that the core cleric of a god of magic can stand in the middle of the fray almost as easily as the core cleric of a god of war always seems a little odd to me. Couple...

Even if you allow the mage hand spell to work on the carotid artery I'd require a DC 30+ heal check for the mage to even know that the carotid exists! Unless the player has specifically stated he does a lot of dissections that is. Given that you have magic how likely is it that surgery has...

Bacteria eating metal and other tech already exist.... there's one that will eat it's way through your CD collection if it got near it. Bioremediation is the term for the degradation of pollutants and toxins by biological processes, and there are a lot of people around the world trying to find...

Interesting idea - particularly to me (I'm a geneticist) Let me make sure I'm getting this straight - someone created a virus to improve human mental capability. It somehow escaped, and started infecting and transforming humans and animals alike. Thus the virus itself created the various...

There's a cop7 of it here - version 2.0 - don't know what version it ran to. http://rainbow.mimuw.edu.pl/~dt2025/cyberpunk/cyd20.pdf

It is almost certain not to be recognized - a friend of mine has a map of the world on one wall and a mirror on the opposite one (coincidentally) Looking at a mirror image of north america is really messed up it just looks so off. Pick just a part of a map and zoom in on that and no one would...

56 Velnor's Butchery This is a rather plain two storey wooden building. The top floor is where Velnor Craftan (a well built, sleightly overweight man) lives with his young (and rather timid) wife. They have no children and the local women are beginning to gossip that she is barren. The...

Homebrew world so most of these are for campaign reasons. No gnomes - they just don't exist. No underdark - as Gothmog there are caves and stuff, but not an Underdark in the classic sense of an interconnected world underground No evil PCs - at least not in this game - maybe in a later one No...

Glory - that's the civil war one with Denzel and Morgan isn't it? We're not actually moving to Coventry - I still work in London, so we're moving to Milton Keynes sort of area (oooohhh soooo much nicer :( I here you cry!) so we can both commute. Meantime she commutes on a weekly basis...

London Yep - Tooting... but alas not for long, have to move because the other half has a new job in Coventry. Otherwise would have been looking for a group around here. As it is going to be looking for some players around Leighton Buzzard.

Holy Roman Empire Don't know why but it seems to get forgotten by so many. Apologies if anyone else has mentioned it - haven't read through the whole thread Try http://www.serendipity.li/twz/hre.html for starters
