Oh, don't be ridiculous. D20 is as far from "properly designed" and "logical" as a system CAN be.

The idea is not without merit, but I don't think a character has enough feats to sacrifice. Furthermore, I fail to see a compelling reason to ditch the present system. If you aim to fix something, it better be broke.

Why is it, I wonder, that I get the distinct impression that for many posters this thread is not about Epic rules at all? Having read the epic SRD, I came to the conclusion that level 20 will be a hard-wired cap in any and all games I will ever run. There is a distinct lack of anything "new"...

Dwarves are people who do things in a grand scale. I won't delve into politics.

I agree with this one. There is a pic in the Eberron Art Gallery on the Wizards site that hammers the point home.This one. Dwarves are the kind of people who do things like THAT. No other culture would even dream of carving a picture of their king or god or whatever into what looks like four...

There's actually no reason why dwarves couldn't live on the surface, based on their stats. Unlike, say, orcs and drow, they suffer no ill effects for doing it. They just know the underground well. I have no problem with the idea of dwarf realms stretching from the deeps all the way into the...

Dwarves need more original ideas to them, they've become too stagnant. They're still ten times better than any darn form of elf. At least a dwarf ain't pretty and can be bad at things, unlike your average lah-di-dah-posh pointy-ear.

You know what I like? Pratchett Elves. An incredibly, inconceivably evil, callous, cruel, malicious, sadistic race, but oh-so-pretty and perfect at the same time. Just like cats. Not too keen on iron, either.

I use the Great Wheel in FR, partly as a homage to Planescape, and partly because it's an alignment of planes that seems "logical" to me. Questions of cosmological geometry are fairly unlikely to come up in a campaign in the first place, and I can safely work with the assumption that the Faerun...

Good gods... If Jack Chick gets wind of BoEF, we're in for another twenty years of harassment. I'm beginning to think that it'd not be uncalled-for, either.

IMO, the biggest obstacle that a single-class fighter is that he is BORING. Boring, boring, boring. All he can do with is hack and chop with his sword, while the wizards walk through walls, the druids turn into dinosaurs, the monks walk on water and the rogues dance in a thunderstorm without...

That is precisely my meaning, though I doubt I could have made it any less clear than the path I chose to take.

I like the ideas between both classes, and consider them playable, though far from über. The first reaction people had to the Theurge was, IIRC, "oh my god, that's broken" but then we all realized what you had to do to become one. Playing a Wiz3/Clr3 in order to make it into Theurge, while you...

Here's a newsflash: mystic theurge and eldritch knight suck. Also, "it worked for 25 years" is not that good of a reason to stick with anything. Several disagreeable customs and practices have long histories attached to them, as well. To me, limiting multiclassing 2e-style is such a practice...

I'm going to have to agree with the previous people. This is an overhaul far beyond any I'd feel comfortable with, myself, and changes several things back into their 2e versions, which I cannot agree with. I'll say this much, though: your house rules seem to enforce pre-existing stereotypes...

And given the things one hears from the editing of Complete Divine, I think we can safely exclude the possibility of WotC having a very careful editor in their employ.

Uh, you really want a weapon with a X5 critical multiplier? a MUNDANE, available-at-any-swordsmith weapon? No way. I don't care how effective sabers are, but no freakin' way.

I do not think the "Evil is the absence of good" construct works in a world where there are active Agents of Evil, be they demons or whatever. IMO, Granny got it right. Consider Mr Teatime, who definitely seemed evil to me: "He saw things differently from other people, and one of the things he...

This is the first and only bump. I knew D&D is dead in Finland, but I never realized it was this dead.

You do realize that calling anyone a Nazi is considered VERY offensive in many circles? Especially in Europe. I don't mind, but people in Sweden have lost their jobs over something like that. *shrug* I'm used to respect people's right to have silly opinions, I suppose. That's what living in a...
