Thief has a 15% chance to automatically disarm a trap. Disarming a trap is always available by descriptive action . . . by the player of any class.

Yes! Yes! With readings and gleamings for wisdom!

Look to Vance's Dying Earth stories and Camp & Pratt's "Harold Shea" (as well as Camp's Fallible Fiend and "Reluctant King" stories) to find direct inspiration for the D&D wizard.

I agree with your general view. There is more "rules space" in the system to allow you to change things without having too many unintended consequences for other parts of the system. However, I disagree with what I bolded: a low-level magic-user able to use several Sleep spells could seriously...

It's like you've read my mind! Years ago, I had plans for a "prequel era" campaign, before the films were released. It was to more heavily "political" than what had been seen in the canon Star Wars films, with Grand Moff Tarkin and other military/political figures as the main antagonists (Mon...

Greyhawk is a campaign where there can be barbarians and cavaliers in the same party, and it makes sense.

Oh honey!

I see what you did there.

Rob and Gary's original Greyhawk campaign is another. :)

Consider a reverse situation: you acquire cohorts/henchmen of some kind and the DM gives them "silly" names (where you are somewhat of a "serious" player or the general tone of the game is more "serious" than the given names). This is exactly how the character names Bigby, Sigby, and Rigby came...

I share your general view on how to conceptualize "non LG paladins."

In my game, a speeding train wouldn''t deal HP damage. It deals "death," with a saving throw perhaps negating. This is also how I handle long falls, for example. There's no rolling a handful of dice for hp damage. It's "you're dead," perhaps with the chance to make a saving throw to take the...
