I tried a "I want my 2e and have my 3e too" experiment as far as rules go but it kept being awkward (ie, house-ruled to death). I realised that what I really wanted was simpler rules... which works a lot better now. Arguments in games with players sometimes are the result of DM failure. I...

If fun = winning, yeah. This is why American video games are several orders of difficulty simpler than Japanese video games of the same title. ciaran

If you may recall, the Sha'ir-- the genie wizard-- from 2nd edition Al'Qadim carried a small Gen that would fetch him spells. For normal wizard spells, the Gen would take like 4-6 rounds to get back to him or something like that which made the class totally unplayable. Waiting for more than a...

I use a spell-point system with the costs being 10 + 2 per spell level. I use the same distribution as PHB 3.5e except that instead of giving 10 + 2 per level for each spell I give: 12/14/16/18/20/21/22/23/24/25 (so they get slightly screwed at high level... the penalty for choice). Anyway my...

My god do I hate White Wolf influenced character descriptions like "green eyes and braided gold hair" etc. etc. All the core races in my game EXCEPT for drow are these abberational entities (much to my liking). My new player, being used to RPGA and other soul-sucking pasttimes wanted to...

When monster tactics is scarier than the monster it doesn't much matter. Eventually your players are going to know anyway, so... ciaran

Why not Domain? Just my two ceramic pieces... ciaran

A few things I can think of: Assassinations (bards are assassins on Dark Sun) Catering to the rich and their rich habits (which may slightly be on the illegal side) Information, information, information Smuggling goods into the city (wizardly magic is illegal in Dark Sun city-states, food and...

Which is why, if you really love your players you will stick a greater doppleganger in their midst. ciaran

Doesn't the money go to the infamous trade federation (the only sort of shady dealers who would be able to provide said enchanter with the rare raw materials he needs), with roots in demonic bloodlines, who would invest the petty cash into A) fueling elaborate transformation rituals conducted by...

Maybe it's all the video game artwork in the core books. ciaran

Take the 2d6 out. It would suck to have rolled 2 1's next to guy who rolls 2 6's... a +1 bonus pales in comparison to a +6.......... ciaran

I'm going to steal your RP XP point values, Jester. Just so you know :D ciaran

why not use adobe reader for palm os? ciaran

Thanks for your answer... so the price comes from: 1,250 (base cost) + 1,000 (stat increase +1) + 5,100 x 5 (XP expenditure) = 27,750. I guess it's off by 250 gp ;) ciaran

My vital rules chop away/reduce 3.5e rules (or at least the in-game time required to resolve them) instead of adding any... Get rid of tedious house rules... if you look at it analytically, you might realise you don't need many of them. It happened to me. ciaran

I believe the ELH suggests using Wis or Cha for epic spell determinations for Cleric-types and Sorcerors. I think it's a fair modification since the focus on Wizard-friendly stat for the purpose is arbitrary anyway. ciaran

Could anyone try and give me a price breakdown of one of the stat books (Gainful exercise +1, for example)? I don't see how one can cost 27,500 gp when gloves of Dex +1 would be about 1,000 gp.... Are they factoring in caster levels for the wish/miracle? If so, then the cost is insanely high and...

Anything I should keep in mind for running 3.5e d&d? ciaran
