well its not a half-"something" and its not another type of elf, thats always good.

started with 3.5, the february before last, been LARPing for ages before that and have a sister (and her friends) who are big roleplayers and DnDers and shadowrun.

As much IC speech as you want (provided its not excessive, decided by me the DM), as much OOC speech as is needed to help people who arent sure how "this here DnD thingie" works yet, or to point out things people really should remember "No I AM immune to fire, you've been travelling with me for...

actually now i've sat and thought about it more, I'll retract my statment, I can imagine the difference between a character with high or low any of the stats, the only change that I possibly would make is moving will saves to be charisma based. Removes its dump stat basis stops clerics and...

I could see an argument to drop charisma, then we could lose all the my characters pretty but unpleasant discussions. Shift sorceror spellcasting to int? or wisdom? intelligence able to examine the underlying structure of how the world works and solve the problem of just where to puch to make...

ok. many peoples gut feeling (and their intuitive feeling, and their deductive reasoning) says its too strong for LA+1. You seem to have a problem with what they're saying I'll try short and easily understood sentances. They have a bonus to every stat. Why? what reasoning? they are higher than...

what are you trying for with this race? as in whats their schtick? can you give me a description in words cos I'm not really sure what they are. I mean for example a Kobold is. A small scaley vaguely doglike humanoid, very weak but quite numble that lives in burrows and caves underground, fond...

the dawn of chaos the return of the dragons (that was my campaigns one) The Day (capital letters are important with this one) The sundering

I think some one made the point somewhere but thought I'd echo it. Particularly with a new DM make a character that a) wants to adventure b) wants/needs the rest of the party. half the horror stories seem to be " we had a new DM and he couldn't think on his feet fast enough to create a...

Sounds like a nice feat even if it doesn't exist, what pre reqs would be appropriate for it? Efficient Caster Pre reqs : Eschew Material components, spellcraft?, appraise? Benefit : When casting a spell requiring expensive (i.e. >1GP) components your great effiiency in using material...

I thought favoured class any meant you could ignore any one class when working out experience penalties, I'm probably wrong as I can't recall the exact wording, but this makes more sense anyway.

I'd say take it, the DM will be trying their best and encouragment or some success initially will make them more willing to keep on trying and help them cope when they have to use the grapple rules or soem other less than easy event occurs! If they are good they will learn and get better its...

I've always ran it as all the images in one 5ft square. A casting of a multiple effect spell or multiple melee attacks or multiple ranged attacks being able at target as many images as there are attacks. An attack of oppurtunity being a single attack directed at the creature and images as a...

isn't it odd, I've read the were creature rules loads of times I've statted up a few were creature PCs (never got a chance to play one yet though), I even used were rats as my campaign BBEGs (3 brothers, one rogue sorceror coward, one rogue ranger trap master, one rogue rogue combat fiend) and...

This is getting to be a really interesting discussion, I personally don't like the bard class, I can understand and appreciate it but mass multiple minion creating magical music doesn't appeal, the utility caster with odds and ends of useful spells and surprising and interesting spells and...

oh cack I forgot to say present idea is for d4 HD per point of LA Skill points 2+ (in skill list of favoured class/or in those they get for racial HD, not sure which) BAB cack as a wizards Fort ref will Saves cack (the lowest progression) HD count as HD (but not counting them twice to get the...

I hadn't even thought of just saying a HD per so many points of LA, thats a pretty cunning idea. I'd also forgotten about savage species, its on my to buy list for when I've got some more money :) I was trying to guesstimate a sort of rough guide to use instead of creating a creature level...

I really like the idea of the LA races, however the way the system breaks down with fifth level characters with 1 HD or whatever bugs me. I'm not planning on re working the entire system and I don't particularly want a grand unified system, just to hash out some simple changes that'd prevent...

http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/re/20040705a theres the link to the article its got the druid level for various insects and swarms and the progression for the bonus' as you level up. You got me thinking about my idea for a druid with a riding scorpion and mounted combat :)

check out the wizards of the coast website there a set of rules for vermin druids there, not sure where, think its in retired articles now. very cool concept, very flavourful, and they include a wildshape to insects bit as well.
