One melee attack with feeling behind it, anyway. You might bat aside a parry or throw a quick feint, at least in the description of it, but it's one serious swing at your foe. When it comes to unarmed combat I'm willing to say it's anywhere from one to three attacks, description-wise, depending...

No option for "Anything but Epic", so sadly no vote. I rather like all the levels of play, but 5-15th is certainly my favorite range. By 5th level characters are truly "coming into their own", in my opinion, and start to really shine in their element. By 15th level they begin attracting a lot...

I love it! Consider this combined idea yoinked. I'd been looking for something interesting to do with orcs for my world in progress, and I think I have something now. As for the dwarven weapon question, I've always favored the "tools as weapons" rationality, particularly as my dwarves were once...

3.5, definately, for the reasons arscott stated earlier.

Kits were so badly executed IMO they leave a bad taste in my mouth to this day, and it's a bad taste matched only by that of Skills & Powers/Spells & Magic (1st level cleric in any armor with a bastard sword and permanent monstrous regeneration...mmmm, broken). Prestige classes need DM control...

Well, at first glance, I like it. In homebrewing a world I've come to realize I more or less need to re-invent the wheel to fit my vision, among them using the generic classes from Unearthed Arcana and completely altering the spell lists. The idea of spell tokens appeals to me, since I think...

Well, having read over fusangite's reply, now I'm torn as to how I want to tackle the occupation. Having tossed a couple options my way I hadn't thought of before, there's a chance I'm changing it up. Thanks for the replies, but I think I'm descending back to the drawing board for now. Maybe...

Something of a worldbuilding idea I'm tossing around, and I'd like to get some feedback and tips about it. While the humans are slowly developing towards a civilized people in the shadow of the other races, they are partially conquered by a more advanced (if horribly cruel) race. While the...

Added, though I barely count with my tiny little post count. Glad to see I'm not the only EN Worlder from Victoria, though.

I'd say two aspects of DM'ing appeal to me most. The first is world-building, and more specifically, the intellectual exercise of making it cohesive, logical, and still cool enough to play in. I love the chance to render the ideas in my head into something other people can interact with...and...

First and foremost, there is the Throne, the non-anthropomorphic, impersonal intelligence responsible for all of Creation. It has placed the Ten Thousand Worlds (various Prime Material Planes) in the Space Between, an infinite nothingness, the blank canvas on which the Throne enacts some great...

Well, being in the throes of my world-building, I'm quickly daunted by how much work I'd have to do on the core classes to make them fit my vision, or alternately just how many I'd have to add to provide the variety I want. I could discuss the various alterations I'd have to make and why, but I...

Well, umm...I wrote more things here, but apparently closed the wrong Firefox tab and lost all of it. So, summary - Joined in its pre-Hosted/DMF state, long hiatus from gaming/internet/etc, re-joining now (hopefully) because I'm back on my world-building kick. In case anyone's interested...

Well, I haven't read enough Eberron to vote Emerald Claw (though given what I've seen of Eberron, it might be the most developed), and I really want to vote for the Zhentarim...who doesn't love a fantasy mafia?...but I've gotta vote for the illithid over-conspiracy. I mean, not only do they have...

Understood. Just a rambling kind of thread, I see. Nifty. On a tangent, anybody else having trouble staying logged in?

So...is this thread about anything, really, or does everybody just sort of talk to the omnipresent Crothian? :)

Does this thread even have a cohesive Piratecat, or are we just farming for post count at this point? What? No. I said...oh god...it's in my mind...

Gotta say, I'm with Joshua on this one, with an exception...I'm not real fond of the barbarian. I like the rogue, I like the fighter, I like the druid, and the cleric's not bad. I know some people find them overpowered, I don't, YMMV. I find the core "full arcane casters" to be dull as...

Well, now that my own computer is wired into the network, I'm fairly confident about campaigning. The only thing is...I've never been involved in a PbP D&D game. I'm just as willing to watch, maybe fill in a spot that opens up.

Sammael, that's a pretty good system. I may make that available to players, possibly with a training requirement...but that's just me, YMMV. My question for further discussion by anybody is on dvvega's point - altered level-vs-CR mechanics. My thought is consider say, 25-40% (depending on what...
