I always thought magic aging effects were removed from the rules for a reason.

lol, those are good. I want a party with a gnelf, a gnarf, a gnorc and a gnoman!

There's a thread about my race creations in House Rules, and as soon as I get my notes straight, I'll post some more into it.

In case anyone wondered, the kuruks are missing +2 Constitution, kind of a major balance thing. Of course, seeing the overwhelming success of this thread, I scarcely need point this out.

Well, for one thing, I'd have banned all rhyming names on pain of death. I don't play, of course. My interest in the game is merely a curiosity, that's all. This is all very well because I'm a horrible player and would be an evenworse GM. Thirdly, it's very, very late. I will strive to make...

The Zuris Personality The zuris are a proud people and tend to look down on other races. They have hard time relating to the sophisticated elves of the civilised humans of the city-states, but they tend to get along with Zeradians, who are "in tune with the natural world", the zuris put it...

The Oblens To many, goblins are considered nothing more than pests at best and fearsome raiders at worst. There are some tribes near Ilakeer that are content with living as inoffensive hunter-gatherers, but for the most part, the prejudice is true. There is, however, a notable exception to this...

These are all bits and bobs off my never-finished setting, Meros. They're posted here just for the amusement of anyone chancing to gaze upon them. -- The Kuruks Only barely trusted and usually outright despised, the kuruk race has prospered regardless. Some call them "half-trolls" but that is...

Why do dwarves have beards? Why do dragons stay airborne despite all the laws of physics screaming at them to stop being silly and getting down this instant? It's the way it's always been. All power comes at a price. The wizard's power comes at a price of his own health. You can't have it both...

I've seen it. To say there was nothing I liked about Shadowrun would be an exaggeration, some of the full-color pictures were quite nice. That's about it, though. Of course, I was raised up on Cyberpunk 2020, and hating SR is kind of a prerequisite for liking that game.

I was obviously misled in my choice of both game and forum, it seems. To me, it's all about style. When I make a character, I do not go "hmm, how to squeeze out the maximum damage potential out of this?". No, I go "Who is this guy? How should he act?" Frankly, has anybody tried reloading a...

So we all should just restrict possible character concepts willy-nilly. Hey, what's a lightly-armored fighter doing wandering around dungeons? Away with him, too. A cleric without a weapon? No, can't have that, either. Frankly, I feel stupid about playing a wizard with a throwing dagger and...

That same distinction between svart alfar and lios alfar was also used in Guy Gavriel Kay's Fionavar Tapestry trilogy, wherein, the svart alfar were described as small, hunched skulking creatures.

Nice to see that the WOTC rules team is still up to their working strength: two concussed gnats and a drunk monkey. Testing potential spells with PHB metamagic feats to determine brokenness ought to be a no-brainer, but apparently the monkey didn't feel up to it this time.

Oh, now that you mention it... I totally forgot NWN. I don't think I ever used Polymorph in BG, I didn't even know it was there. Well, having one-form spells was apparently a gimmick they toyed with in an issue of Dragon. That way they could give extraordinary abilities for forms, and start from...

I've never seen a video game like that, myself, but I suppose that was not your point. You just wanted to trivialize my response with a one-sentence reply. The problem with Polymorph is that its power level is open-ended, and every single encounter a player has, and every single monster book...
