    Improved Saving Throws

    Well, you could get individual items for constitution and dexterity. Probably not a bad idea anyway, since they will help your hit points, armor class, initiative, and some skills too. As a caster, you probably don't need much of a better will save. A pale green prism ioun stone gives a +1...

    Unmodified Skill Points

    That's what I would do, too. In fact, rather than 5 + 1/2 level, I'd do Cha modifier + 1/2 level.

    Unmodified Skill Points

    Why not just give classes a static number of skill points per level, rather than X + Int Modifier? Perhaps all classes get X+2/level, where X is whatever their static number is now. Maybe give wizards 6 or 8 instead of 4, since they normally are the class that gets the most, skillwise, from a...

    Are the Rakshasas Rajahs/Elder Evils/Great Old Ones the same?

    Link? What possible problem could anyone have with this? It's just a campaign idea.

    Mage:the Awakening is out. Opinions?

    So, you're the same grimjim that was so trolltastic about white wolf games on rpg.net that he got banned from discussing white wolf at all, right?

    Low Book-keeping Systems

    For my light gaming, I use wushu. Characters typically have 3 traits (things that describe them or what they're good at), 1 flaw, and a pool of chi to manage. It's meant for action gaming, but will really work for anything. See here for a description of how the author used it to run a CSI...

    Using Action Points in a "Vanilla" DND Campaign

    No, d20 modern has the same max pool size mechanic as eberron. It wasn't stated well or clearly in the rules, but they've clarified it since then. d20 modern could really use another edition, to catch it up with the 3.5 rules and clear up some textual problems, but there probably aren't the...

    Confidential Information being shared from bogus account

    The only evidence they have is from the recipient, because the admins can't access the contents of the message that was sent. And acting against a user based on a single, easily falsifiable report, is terrible policy. There would be nothing to stop someone from making an enworld account...

    Confidential Information being shared from bogus account

    I think here's where you and others are miscommunicating. This PM doesn't violate the rules of enworld in any way. I understand that it bugs you, but what rule was broken? If they really did breach a contract between themselves and rpgnow, it not illegal, it's a breach of contract, and...

    Thread preview

    They're using the "title" attribute on the <a> tag that contains the link, not some weird dynamic html popup or anything. What that means is that the amount of the title that gets displayed, and how long it shows up when your mouse is hovering over the anchor, is totally browser-dependant, and...

    Confidential Information being shared from bogus account

    Besides which, RPGnow sending email to a bunch of people and labelling it confidential isn't very binding. Unless they have a cast-iron contract that vendors sign when they join up that states that all communications from RPGnow are confidential, then just slapping "confidential" in the title...

    Are the Rakshasas Rajahs/Elder Evils/Great Old Ones the same?

    In my game, yes, they are. Additionally, there's a good reason the dwarves fled from that northern icebound continent in Eberron, and it has to do with the beings worshipped by their degenerate cousins that remained in the north.

    Weapon Speed - changing the way BAB works

    In 2e, you rolled initiative every round, so it was a consistent penalty. In 3e, you roll once, at the beginning of combat, and then it's cyclical, so it's not much of a penalty at all, only at the beginning of combat.

    Weapon Speed - changing the way BAB works

    Um, no. You're confusing the rules about attacking while invisible or multishotting with the rules on general sneak attacking. If the rogue flanks his opponent, he gets the sneak attack on every attack. If the rogue is invisible, he gets the sneak attack only on his first attack (after that...

    Whedon: More Buffy in the future

    And at the end, there's rocking 80s metal music and he cuts off their head. Wait, wrong series.

    Yargh! Share Spells redux

    Why do you care what is official or not? Official is a meaningless term. Use whatever you feel like, I guarantee the WotC compliance ninjas will not raid your game.

    Player Defense Rolling

    Right, that's perfectly correct. The first guy hits on 18/20 rolls, the second guy successfully dodges on 2/20 rolls. The odds of a hit stay the same.

    Player Defense Rolling

    Yes. The >= sign. Seriously, it's easier to explain as probabilities. When rolling to hit in D&D, you hit if you roll >= the DC, which is the armor class. If you want to keep the system the same, then you want a defense roll to succeed when it is >= the attack value. Consider two...

    Mutants and Masterminds heroes vs. D&D monsters -- is it possible?

    I found it much easier to build the critters as MnM creatures from the ground up, rather than trying to convert them over. Especially for a creature with many varied powers like a dragon. I suppose you could use their base ability scores, saves, BAB and so on as a basis, but the powers systems...

    How Wizards Got It Right

    That would require some of these spoof threads to be funny rather than just lame.
