Will there still be 3 roles (archetypes?) as in True20? Or have you expanded this beyond the Adept/Expert/Warrior?

In addition to this True20 manual, would any other source books be needed to play in Darwin's World? (Does this replace the Survivors Handbook, but we would still need a world book?) Secondly, would you be folding in any changes to the d20 system introduced by the Star Wars Saga system version?

How have you guys found the system so far? (Recharge with Vitality/HP) Using the original recharge magic system (as printed in UA) seems to be overpowered since a cleric could heal all day long. And a 5th-level wizard could 'Fly' continuously. I see that the Vitality/HP restriction could...

Yes, I agree. In the DMG, there is only a few (vague) sentences on how to award good roleplaying, yet in the PHB there is 27 pages on Combat alone. I would have to say D&D is becoming more of a 'war-game' instead of a 'roleplaying game'. (The mini's/battle mat argument can enter here...)...

Another thing to consider (lite/heavy) that this test would NOT cover (since it is only a dungeon crawl) character updates. How much effort is involved in updating (i.e., character makes a level) a PC? For example, do you have to spend 1 hour to update? Does an increase in a primary stat...

I am unfamiliar with the original test by Dancey. However, if you want to decide if a game is lite/heavy (complicated/easy), you should have more than two games (D&D 3.5E and C&C) to compare, correct? Why not have several games, from brain testers like Aftermath (FGU) to simple games like...

Played T:2k for a whole summer. Although our group had just played in a 4-year campaign of Aftermath. It was based in the crater that was formerly San Antonio TX. It was such a grim/gritty/poor campaign that characters actually kissed each bullet before firing (they only came across maybe...

One huge problem that our group is currently looking at is all the size enhancing spells from WotC. - Animal Growth - Enlarge Person (also Mass) - Reduce Animal - Reduce Person (also Mass) - Righteous Might - Others? The main problem with all of these spells is that d20 does not even follow its...

Also keep in mind that in 1e, each different class (fighter, wizard, etc) needed different amounts of xp to go up in levels. Now, in 3.x, all the classes use the same xp advancement.

Again, as Garnfellow pointed out in an earlier post, there are a few schools of thought as to wealth. I believe (IMHO), that the authors of CotSQ may not have used the Drow Level Adjustment (+2) in calculating wealth levels. As you can see by Table 4-23 (pg. 127 of the DMG) that this current...

Again, just to compare Garnfellow's Drow War-1 to what has been done by WotC in their City of the Spider Queen (v3.0E): Common male and female Drow Warrior 1: CR 1; Medium Humanoid (elf); HD 1d8; hp 4; Init +1; Spd 30 ft; AC 16, touch 11, flat-footed 15; BAB +1; Grp +2; Atk/Full Atk +3 melee...

Yes, you are correct Garnfellow. Elven chain is exactly the same as Chain mail made of Mithral (DMG, pg. 284: Or SRD: Special Materials). Also note: the Mithral shirt (and possibly the Elven/mithral Chain mail) are not bad choices for the Male Ftr/Wiz, as the Arcane failure is only 10% (20%...

As diaglo had pointed out earlier in this thread, City of the Spider Queen <may> be a close reference to conversion of these adventures. Checking that text, I had found that most drow were equiped with masterwork chain shirts (levels 1-2), Mithral shirts (levels 3-5), Mithral (elven) chain mail...

Nice site Garnfellow. However, could you walk through a few calculations with me? Your calculations quoted So, from your charts: for example, (male) Magic User-5/Fighter-7 was converted to Wis-5/Ftr-3 Now, I understand that you stated: So, I realize why you took the MU/Wis over the...

I think this post might be the one qstor was refering to: WOTC post

I have found several good CC maps at this person's site (dated): Halflings CC site Hopefully that will help. P.S.: Since my group is at least a month away from starting the 'D-series' of adventures, I will also be doing some conversion. Perhaps we can collaborate...?

I am not sure I can agree with you on this diaglo. While I agree that the overlaying theme to both adventures is fight against Drow, I would not say City of the Spider Queen (CotSQ by James Wyatt) is a "remake" of D1-3 and Q1 (Gary Gygax, David Sutherland, Dave Cook and Jeff Grubb). The...

Has anyone tackled: D1 (Descent into the depths of the earth) D2 (Shrine of the Kuo-Toa) D3 (Vault of the Drow) I would love to see this in 3.5E.

Sent you an e-mail a few days ago. Attached were some ideas about Racial Paragon levels. (Not sure if you got the mail?) In any event, feel free to ask for help on the Setting Guide! :)

I completely understand DMEntropy. (I'm in the same boat - normal job but all spare time into DM'ing). I am currently running a paper & pencils group (of 8 players - yikes!) in a (now) bastardized version of the 13 Kingdoms. This keeps me pretty busy. I can definately try to 'squeeze' in...
