    It's all the little things that add up

    Why would a little imp know more about magic items than a high-level spellcaster? After all, if my Wiz15/Acm5 doesn't know a way to understand what a magic item does, why would an imp who has never seen the object? You then need to introduce a rule to let players know what an object does, as it...

    Immortals Handbook (aka The Worship Points System)

    Hi U_K! Just a quick question : are you still on track to deliver your work to the publisher on the 24th? Not only am I growing impatient, but as the release dates of the books about deities (D&Dg and F&P) by WotC approach, it is becoming more and more important that you release your book soon...

    Palm

    I'll get my new palm tomorrow, so I'd like to know : is there anything new?

    Batch Buffing

    I think that you can easily lower the level of any of these spells by simply lowering the number of spells (and the total levels of spells duplicated). I suppose that you could also create generic spells just saying : this spells allows you to cast x spells at once. If we decide that two spells...

    EN World home page malfunctioning!?

    It takes a long time to load here too, even with my broadband connection, but if I leave the browser open and do something else in another window, after sometimes the site loads and everything's OK. BTW, the site often loads faster using http://www.d20reviews.com rather than...

    Immortals Handbook, what format interests you?

    To what conclusion did you come? I suppose that according the result, things will go as you planned before, I suppose?

    MT delayed?

    My main complaint about MT is simple : as it is done by WotC, you will only ever see products by WotC supported, whereas in program as PC Gen, you have materials from a variety of sources... MT may be better than PC Gen or not, but as I use a lot of third party products, I won't pay for MT...

    d(liberation)20 System

    Could you tell me where the CCE is located? BTW, I tend to agree with you, those rules are overly complicated. Whereas I like customization, I like the sense of belonging to a class that the D&D system brings...

    The Aristocrat as a viable PC class

    Remark : You say that Greater Skill Focus can me taken more than once, but it is not in the list! Question : What's the effect of Greater Skill Focus? Which book does it come from?

    HELP!! Dungeoneer's Survivial Guide

    Not sure if I can legally do so, but here is a scan of page 71... The quality isn't very good and I had to resize so that it could be small enough (in Kb) to post it here...

    Batch Buffing

    This spell duplicates two first level spells the effect of which doesn't change according to the spellcaster's level (in comparison with Magic Missile) and saves 1 round (since it takes one round to cast it instead of 2), so I believe level 2 would be better than 3. This spells duplicates two...

    Too much magic in DnD - lets do something about it !

    OK, you don't know me well, but I do... I like (very) high magic settings, as do my players. I think it mainly stems from the fact that the DMs with which I began playing RPGs liked (and still like) low-magic, and as such, I always wanted to have lots of magic. When I started DMing, I thus did...

    Too much magic in DnD - lets do something about it !

    I think the first things to rework would then be : Table 4-43: Highest-Level Locals (PC Classes) and 4-44: Highest-Level Locals (NPC Classes) : you need to have less spellcasting, and thus less people and weaker people. Table 5-1: Character Wealth by Level : if there are less magi items...

    Immortals Handbook, what format interests you?

    I already posted my opinion on this in the House Rules thread, but I thought I'd give it again here (especially since the thread needs a bump!:D )... I would like to have the IH in unillustrated pdf format ASAP so that I can see what your work looks like, but I would then buy the update to have...

    3e Dragonlance Materials

    The main problem I see in this DL conversion is that they tried to remain true to first edition DL, where all the things you said (black robes get level-9 spells very soon, scholl restrictions,...) were true. By the way, did they change the XP table for the various wizards? Black robes used to...

    Immortals Handbook (aka The Worship Points System)

    I was re-reading the old thread when a thought came across my mind : will it be possible, under the IH, for the god(s) to create a new world? It could be cool, as the "end" of a campaign (if a campaign can ever have an end when the characters are immortals), for the gods to create a new world...

    Immortals Handbook (aka The Worship Points System)

    I was talking mainly about PC as I had read before that some powerful beings might become gods by themselves and then gain followers. I tend to agree with you about the fact that they'd need followers AND a sponsor to become gods, and that's probably the way it's going to be in my campaign...

    Immortals Handbook (aka The Worship Points System)

    It's great that you had no trouble finding the publisher and that they agreed quickly! Just another quick question : do you gain followers because you're a god, or do you become a god because you have followers? I'm quite interested in the answer as I'm designing the campaign that will take my...

    Immortals Handbook (aka The Worship Points System)

    I thought it was already done, that's why I was curious. Now I can understand why you don't tell us who will publish it, and 100% agree with you about the unethicalness (:confused: ) of saying us who it is before signing the contract... As I said that's quite a risky business for them, you're...

    Immortals Handbook (aka The Worship Points System)

    I was one of the first to answer it... :) Can't you tell us who is the publisher? I'm quite curious to know who takes the chance because, after all, it's quite risky, no one has ever created rules like the Immortal Handbook...
