Sunday night, I told my fellow players this story (the original post), and they couldn't stop laughing. I took us everything to get back to the game. Well done Grumpy Celt !

I also allow it. If I let players create 10th level characters, I give them all the starting gold of a 10th level PC, but the levels of crafters will be lower after expenses, 9th, maybe 8th if they went overboard with the crafting. Which in effect gives them up to twice as much gear as other...

Thanks guys ! I was asking, because my players are currently in an illithid lair, and one of them is an occult slayer... :D

The Mind Blast ability of the Mind Flayer is listed as (Sp), but is it really ? Is it a spell-like ability or a supernatural ? Usually (Sp) abilities duplicate a known spell and is accompanied by a caster level. There is no Mind Blast spell.

We agree then. Good. :D

A 7th level damaging spell caps at 20d6, average 70. If it has a save for half, the save is versus a DC of SL 7. It wouldn't cost any XP. A maximized fireball does 60 dmg, save for half, DC of SL 3. Charging 300 xp for such an effect is... obscene.

On the subject of Flying: “The first part is easy. All it requires is simply the ability to throw yourself forward with all your weight, and the willingness not to mind that it’s going to hurt. That is, it’s going to hurt if you fail to miss the ground. “Most people fail to miss...

Great ! I hope many will have fun running this adventure in their campaign. I will second Mark in saying that our editors blew my mind away. As Yig mentioned above, when I ran it, my players were to high, so I replaced the spectre Damnation with a dread wraith, and the caretaker by a bone...

Oh... I just realized... we always assumed, because of Miracle, you know... Damn. Limited Wish is not such a good spell afterwards. Thanks for all the input mate.

I thought you didn't pay the XP cost if used to mimic a spell... ?

You can cast a limited wish to simulate a lower level spell. Can you use a metamagic feat on it ? If a sorceror uses limited wish to cast a ray of enfeeblement, can he use a 9th level slot to empower it ?

I really like the alternative to turning undead in Complete Divine. Really puts the "fear of God" into those undead critters. Been using it ever since.

Thanks. That's what I was going for. Not better, just more efficient.

I didn't mention it, but I do intend to have some control over the process, as I would about any choices the players make (for one, no frenzied berzerkers IMC). For example, if a player is currently on a trek through some grasslands, I wouldn't let him swap some Climb ranks for some Swim ranks...

Oh. Quirky indeed. It's been errataed, right ? Right ?

I guess it'll be a while if we ever use it: it's not something you can expect to do often. But the fact that we now have such an option... comforting.

I don't understand. We've never used prayer beads IMC. What is so special about Karma ? +4 caster level for 10 minutes per day. Doesn't seem much. I am missing something obvious, right ?

Thanks for all the input guys, you've been very helpful. I presented this to 3 of my players tonight, who are also all DM's, one of which I play in his game. They were all excited byt this house rule and decided to adopt it for their own campaigns. After reviewing this thread together, we...

I do appreciate your input, even if negative. You took the time to read my thread and give feedback. Maybe it's just that the concept is very alien to your gaming style.

What part of the Psionics SRD illustrates that system ? Thanks for the feedback.
