Ok, so let me see if I got this right. 1) You can no longer take a Skill more than once in Tier 1, period. So all instances of say Carrying x2 by getting one from your Species and one from a Tradition is gone. Assuming that I did read it correctly, why do you say it is not an optional...

I'd have to agree that the carry capacity seems high. Especially when you add in the Carrying skill, which in comparison basically equates to a "STR +1" bonus only for carrying capacity. As noted, STR 3 = CarryCap. 90 lb No Penalty / 91-180 lb. AGI -1 / 181-270 lb. AGI -2 STR Unencumbered...

Question on advancement. Is this a holdover from a different skill system? Skills don't have ranks. Or do you mean skill multipliers? i.e. If I have Stealth, and I want Stealth x2 it costs me 10XP? Also, isn't 100XP for a new skill, which only adds +1 die to very specific actions a bit...

Ok, after looking at some of LucasC's posts and since I got a shout out in the Kickstarter update, I thought I'd toss out a few more ideas. First Draft - Changeling Species Traditions * NOTE: I see these as being a bonus tradition level between Species and Starter Talents for my setting. To...

Found a cut-&-paste error on p167, Scry Spell List. Under Cantrip, it has the Move spell text.

Thanks for the info. Here is the new version. CHANGELING Doppelgangers are shapeshifting fey from an area of the Otherworld known as Faerie and often travel to the natural world to wreak their form of chaos and mischief. It is common folklore that doppelgangers have a particular fondness...

ON SHAPECHANGE The text I used is the 4E version. The 3.5E Version... Combining the two. Changeling Disguise: Is an at-will power that allows the changeling character to transform their appearance to that of any other medium sized humanoid race. This transformation requires 2 consecutive...

Do you consider a 5 as the maximum starting Attribute score? I'm just curious as I'd want Giants to be stronger than Ogres, which could mean either +1 for the giant or -1 for the ogre. Also, how do you feel about the giant's power level? It seems rather loaded compared to some of the core races...

Thanks for the reply. This leads me to a few more questions. It seems as if you are following the more recent trend of making Race less important in the character design process. Will there be any optional rules for making Race more important or do you see Races as being mostly important for...

Ok, so I am looking at OLD to see if it can serve to fit my homebrew campaign setting better than the current d20 system I use. I've read over the races and Designing Races sections but I'm a little vague still on the concepts. I understand that you are a proponent of all races not being...

Another possible way to look at it would be to use the Multiple Die roll mechanic as a benefit of a form of "Specialization". Examples: Two-Weapon Fighting: When making an Attack Action of this type... * Roll your attack twice and choose the best result * Gain either a +1 bonus to AC OR +1...

Coming in very late on this and I admit I have not read the whole thread so this may already have been said, so I apologize for that up front. My response on this topic is, as Morrus stated, that D&D has always been, is, and will always be a game of HEROIC Fantasy. D&D characters are heroes...

Don't forget thought, as I posted originally, this is a very limited time game session (roughly 6 days at about 8 hours of actual play time per day). We will be lucky if can get through AP 1 & 2. I doubt we will have enough opportunity to start AP 3, which means we will likely cap out at around...

How late, is later? There really are only 5 energy type, one of which is hard to come by (sonic) and most of the good outsiders are mostly untouched by energy anyway. Celestials = Resistant Cold, Acid & Electricity Archons = Immune: Electricity Angels = Resistant Electricity & Fire / Immune...

Was this an early release for those with the subscription? I haven't seen it on the website. Also, thanks for the suggestions about the caster. I'm still torn between the Arcane Sorcerer and Wizard but I am thinking that a Sorcerer with the Leadership feat (Wizard item creation cohort) might...

Hi. Our game group is a group of friends scattered around the state and once a year we get together, rent a cabin and game for a week. This year one of the guys is running Way of the Wicked. However, he hasn't really given any insight on character generation other than the stuff included in the...

Exactly. I also feel that this is where you get into the difference between a Cleric and a Priest as well. Many people apparently want the Cleric to become a 2E Specialty Priest, which it isn't and likely won't ever be. There needs to be a distinct definition between Cleric and Priest...

Turning Undead is a classic part of D&D, so it must exist in some form. However, there are a number of ways it could do so. Thus the most dominant question that comes to the fore for the designers will be: * Do all clerics have the ability to Turn Undead (regardless of their patron deity)? The...

Personally I would like to see the +1 to +5 bonuses be removed from the "Magic Item" venue and given its own schtick under Masterwork weapons, gaining their bonuses from the use of special materials or special properties. Example 1 - Real World: All REAL* katanas would be considered Masterwork...

Just NO! 1) The names were nonsensical mashing together of words from a thesaurus for the most part. Many of them made little to no sense at all anyway. 2) Titles should be made into a part of the reward structure of the game as part of a Reputation & Renown system. Aside from that, the...
