Arcane + Roguish needs = Beguiler (PHB2), or just plain wizard taking spells that cover the roguish needs for trap & lock requirements. Supplement this with something like changeling for the race, and you can have it all. If you are still of the opinion that a front-line tank is necessary...

Yep, so far I like the Frost Giant and the Dragons... that's it. No case for me either.

More non-useful minis. I have plenty of character-types or basic humanoids. Monsters, Monsters, Monsters are what is needed... not more human(oid)s in various poses.

Tome of Horrors (3.5) is really my default Monster Manual; I don't even own a hardcopy MM1 (using srd when necessary). Love it!

I think that when I do get around to designing the Sathar in a fantasy mold, I will endow them with all the major trappings of Ilithids, tweaked of course, so that they are original and distinct from Mind Flayers... but having all the 'alien' mind-controlling connotations that make the Ilithids...

You can find a lot of new material on www.starfrontiersman.com as well. All very top-notch stuff. I would love to see a decent treatment of SF using another system; probably would use it (sticking to the original myself), but would very much like to see it done well.

Ooooh, Sathar Mentalists... makes perfect sense, even for standard Star Frontiers games. The existing rules for mentalists should have bonuses for Sathar practitioners. I was envisioning Sathar Necromancers, but really their strengths lie in Enchantment/Charm and mental domination effects.

I think the picture is a good idea, especially if you can make it to a Renaissance fair or similar offering to borrow some costuming. Since you are in Alabama, why not take a trip down to Orlando over the weekend and everyone sit in for King Henry's Feast or Medieval Times (restaurants - you...

FYI, the new installment of the Star Frontiersman Webmag has been released. Head over to www.starfrontiersman.com and grab a copy. You can even see a couple of my own contributions in this edition.

That text box, is just a place where i might copy text from a pdf, for me to refer to while I write the Fantasy or tweaked version for this project... just ignore it. Mostly just like a notepad of sorts while I work.

Thanks, I like the way the basic skills worked themselves out as well. I think your XP/Action Point type of idea is very good. Costly, but better than death certainly, and a judicious use of such a burning of an XP point could mean the difference between greater XP handouts later, based upon...

Dwarven Paladins are a neat idea, but given their particular strengths, Dwarven Fighter/Clerics are probably a stronger Undead Fighter. If elimination of the Charisma penalty is really what you are after, then remove it, but give the Dwarves substantial penalties to Skills such as Diplomacy...

OK, I have the document here for folks to take gander at. There are various notes to myself included in the document. There is plenty of room for other folks to contribute to this little project.

I hope that when there is a new edition (something inevitable at some point), that they do away with the whole LA thing. In fact, I would hope that they re-imagine monsters so that any or all monsters races are scalable all the way back to level one. Want a Mind-Flayer mage at first level...

There is no time requirement for this, but likely, sooner is better than later in most minds. Development has stalled for a little while, a factor of other endeavors, and life. I am hoping that when the forums at Star Frontiersman come up, then there will be additional inspiration and...

Although I can understand evasion, trap detection, and the like. Like Tonguez, I do not really understand Sudden Strike, Fast Movement, Camouflage, or Hide in Plain Sight. As alternatives or suggestions, maybe because of their familiarity, they can 'set traps'. I can also see Climb as a...

Worlds Largest Dungeon has a remarkable length thread here on ENWorld.

If you want really interesting class concepts while still filling certain roles in the party makeup, check out TheLe's Unorthodox Classes of all the various types. http://www.thelegames.com/ You can find something for anyone there.

If it helps your campaign, look to my signature for an Asian Bard (the Geisha) which is perfect for 'wives who love Asian stuff'. It is mostly Japanese based, but I include notes on tweaks for other Asian cultures, such as Korean, India, and even a Malay tribal variation. I also envision the...
