    E6: The Game Inside D&D

    I suspect you are right. :) I'm not at all sure that Upper Krust's rule of 6 feats = 1 character level would give accurate results when the ratio of feats to character levels is so out of whack.

    Revised Magic System (With Spell Points)

    You might want to consider lowering the recharge time between uses. 5 minutes, say, up to 3 times a day (or whatever). But reduce the number of power points accordingly. Otherwise your players are going to nova once a day and then insist on resting. 2 points per level, and they can recharge...

    E6: The Game Inside D&D

    Thanks. :) In any event, this question is probably orthogonal to rycanada's proposal. If someone feels the classes are not quite balanced (i.e. if sorcerers are weaker than wizards at even levels) they can tinker a little with it a little. Maybe for a low-magic game. Or if there are no...

    E6: The Game Inside D&D

    I'd give them 1 spell known and 0 spells per day (plus bonus spells) at odd levels. At even levels they'd be just like in the book. I'm also thinking of some kind of mechanic for getting access to higher level spells - mechanically much like buying scrolls, but with less strain on the...

    Revised Magic System (With Spell Points)

    I am delighted to see someone else using SL+1 as the spell point cost for a spell. :D My own system only grants 5 points per caster level, though, not 15. Plus a number of free cantrips/orisons equal to the caster's ability bonus. Bonus spells (due to high ability scores, domain spells...

    E6: The Game Inside D&D

    I kinda see 6th level as more the beginning of the sweet spot, which goes to around 9th level or so. If I were to tinker with the E6 system, I think I'd allow a limited amount of advancement. For example, I might try an E5+ as follows: Up to 10,000 xp (5th level) everything is as normal...

    What's the plane just law-wards of Mount Celestia? Arcadia? She might go there.

    Good 8, Evil 9 - Evil wins the Exhibition!

    1s and 20s shouldn't be autofails or autowins in an opposed check- what if both sides rolled a 20? Do they both succeed?

    Except that when the other gates were destroyed, Xykon's plans were thwarted. He doesn't want access to the snarl, but to the gate enclosing the snarl.

    I don't own the Book of Exalted Deeds. Could someone tell me what these martyr ghosts could actually do to Xykon?

    15th level NPC vs. 9th level party

    I've argued that the relationship between CR and PC class level is CR = level -2. That's with a PC class and standard treasure. If there's no treasure to speak of (5% standard) it's another -2.

    [ABJURATION] Killing the Sacred Cows

    Very helpful! I went and checked off all the spells, and then went through and unchecked all the ones that would inspire a "what the hell?" reaction. So I might have voted to kill a few spells whose absence I would regret later. But when I voted I gave precedence to alarm, protection from...

    OotS 448

    One gamey definition of "offensive" might be if it is triggered on your turn, or on your opponent's turn. For example, if you put a touch-activated symbol on your sword and hit someone with it, the touch occurs on your turn. Thus your opponent is not affected. If you pull aside a curtain...

    What does On The Ground mean to you?

    I read the original intent as "cannot be used while flying" myself. Not "cannot be used while standing on a carpet." I wouldn't let an earth elemental phase through wood, but this feels different to me.

    Summoning up a shopkeep, balanced for first level?

    I concur. The items are such as can be routinely purchased in any village, so the summon inn comparison is a good one.

    Wouldn't the touch of a lich permanently paralyze her? That doesn't sound like much fun for her.

    No 2 magic effects stack

    But a "magic" bonus to strength would increase your attack bonus, but this increase is the result of an increased strength bonus, not a magic bonus. It should stack with a magic sword. Does this make sense? The same thing would hold true of any of the ability buffs.

    What does On The Ground mean to you?

    I'd say: not flying, not in a boat, not mounted or in a vehicle, not in a tree. But yes to everything else; I'd definitely say yes to any building. Especially one that is made of stone.

    Warlock Optimation

    What starting feats would you recommend for a human? Up to level 6 or so.
