I don't understand your question. What is the difference between optional and standard rank benefits is that optional benefits have to be purchased. They aren't automatic. It isn't meant to be different, just a way of expanding the options in character creation. And they are easy to design for...

They are rank benefits you have to pay skill points for. Here is the thread for the idea (though you have to get down 5-8 posts before the first one): AlternityRPG.Net Forum -> Skill synergy or advanced skills?

Feats yes, perks not really. They, and flaws, were meant to customize characters as well a provide some balance for the alien artifact rules. When Jim posted the idea of optional rank benefits, the engine suddenly got a lot more interesting. Customizing heroes to a level the books don't allow...

Read my sig- lots of options by fans on Alternityrpg.net, from rules to settings. Another thing I would like to see is a much beefier book on tangents.

Need the pricing for a Morningstar style artificer PC.

If someone was to make a decent retroclone, I would start working on critter pdfs by the bucketload. Hell, I can think of scores of things I want to do and getting paid for them gives me incentive to do better work than my pile o'stuff at A.net. edit- another dice idea that has been mentioned...

I assume you mean the settings since Alternity and 4e are incompatible as engines. You might find the 7th edition of Gamma World (out in October) useful. Something else I would like to see are minisettings where the rules (optional and core) are altered to fit the setting. It would give GMs and...

There has been a couple people who suggested 2d8, 3d8, etc. to replace the d20 modifier. It does make a nice curve and doesn't require a new die size.

We have discussed this on A.net a few times: AlternityRPG.Net Forum -> What are the best house rules here? AlternityRPG.Net Forum -> If you could rewrite the PH, what would you add? The big thing I would like to see is the incorporation of optional rank benefits. You can think of them as d20...

Say I want to make a flesh golem with acid burst and has arrow deflection (as per the armor quality) or an vorpal iron golem. Any ideas on how to price them?

Jakandor- a post apocalyptic island where Atlantian necromancers duke it out with Vikings. Both sides are interesting and the island is large enough to explore for a lifetime.

Okay, either version of PrRs works for me. I might even use both with a little boost to the Player's Guide version. And good to see you here, Todd!

Got the 4th edition first, played a little of it. Got the 5th edition and still wish I could find a group willing to play it (or my version of it). Recently I got the 1st edition and have to say it was pretty amazing. I have read several early PA rpgs and find GW 1e to be the best written (but...

Sigh, I should have done this a while ago. Mutant Future (mutations, critters and more) My mutant Future critters - RPGnet Forums (big thread of critters) If you want to convert any of them to d20, go right ahead. I put them online for others' use (obviously). And a couple examples to show...

Aeolius, have you seen National Geographic's Drain the Ocean? Very interesting in terms of topography and possible habitats.

There is a different, pdf only, book that updates the setting to Pathfinder. I believe that it will be released second for some reason. What I do know is that they decided to go with the third version of prestige races, the one from The Player's Guide to Oathbound. The powers costs feats and...

Or the second or the third or the fourth or fifth or the sixth time around. There must be something about a game for it to earn 7 editions (11 if you include the entire universe with 4 editions of Metamorphosis Alpha). Other than Tunnels and Trolls, I can't think of any game that even reached 6...

Thank you for the information. The reason I asked was, well, I wanted to see when I might beat those numbers with my Mutant Future designs. I have no idea if any of you are reading them over on rpg.net's forum or Skirmisher's forum. I have posted 700-800 so far and my notes indicate I have a...

Goodman put out a pdf for 3.5 that collected creatures from its adventures. The last Wanderer's Guild book is 3.5, Monsters of the Savage Snow (from 3 AM games). For more templates there are Bodies and Souls from Second World and Template Troves from Silverthorne (both pdf).

Yes, just you ;) That is a lot more first edition monsters than I would have thought existed.
