I think a better fix would be you only get what you've encountered so far.

This is a house rule, but you might want to consider just replacing the level adjustment with humanoid levels. Humanoid levels are pretty far below class levels in what they give a pc, but they'll provide a decent amount of hps to add to survivability. Sure, your deep gnome wiz will have more...

I'd like to see specialist arcane classes for the remaining schools of magic. Other than that, I'd like to see classes with a cultural predisposition stripped of that. Wu Jen, Spirit Shaman, Shugenja, Monk, Ninja, Samurai, some of the disciplines in Bo9S. Also, I'd like to see there NEVER be...

Even psionics would require some modification. The best fit I can see would be using hit points for powers instead of power points, and the players either don't know their hit point totals, the power costs, or both.

I played in two evil campaigns. The first was short lived, because we got frustrated with the GM. We had big megalomaniac plans. He had this twist he wanted to use where we would die, get resurrected and be indebted to someone. So we died in stupid ways. For example, I was playing a tiefling...

You're probably right, and I'm probably just being overly cautious. Regardless, I've gotten all I need to from this thread, so I won't be checking it anymore. Thanks, Enworld!

-Army of Flyers Harpoons for big nasties. Arrows for one-hit mooks. -Army of Burrowers Double layer metal floors with layer of explosives in between? Undead-infested catacombs underneath the city? -Army of Giants Army of gnomes. Archers with giantbane arrows Giant slingshots to catapult thrown...

Duskblade does it better. Otherwise, the eldritch knight is caster with a bit of melee, spellsword is melee with a bit of caster. Eldritch knight is better with a dip into spellsword.

Genesis.

Um... I care what the players think about it, and before I expose the idea to them, I want to make sure it doesn't fall flat. I wanted the creatures to have arisen from natural causes, or some cataclysm that wiped out normal humans. In any case, they need to be able to be self perpetuating...

It's something you can't forget, no matter how hard you try. :uhoh: I think I will remove that last bit about interspecies mating, as it is basically the same thing as bestiality, and it is easily justifiable as something socially unacceptable. I am considering at some point having there be a...

I intend to use the setting partly as a medium to explore what it means to be human and what the difference between being an animal and being a human is.

Every time I've had the misfortune of happening upon furry artwork, it's been a fox, wolf, horse, or cat.

I was thinking that I would make only the most human-like ones playable races. And on second thought, Island of Dr. Moreau is more the feel of these beastmen that I am trying to go for. Also, I thought I might avoid some problem by restricting the setting to African animals as that cuts out...

This sounds like a good idea. It may have sounded like I was straying into that, but it was really more because I've been thinking about genetics in general lately. I think I won't even bring it up, and just give a stony glare if someone else does. Other than that, aren't shifters basically...

Cool idea, but doesn't that slow their fly speeds? Also... problematic because it's limited to 15HD, and within one size category. Without even checking, I know that the red is in trouble... no Gargantuan dragons at 15HD.

Lets take a look at the abilities each of those dragons gets... red gets discern location and find the path. Looks like a prime candidate for missions involving retrieving artifacts. black gets plant growth, corrupt water, and charm reptiles. The black could be responsible for making trade...

Well... I suppose there are different degrees of railroading. The worst is when the module/DM tells the PCs what they are doing. i.e. you walk through the archway and find yourself in the abyss. Problem: first PC walks through the archway and disappears. What do the other PC's do? Just keep...

To be honest, I've never liked the cliched dwarves and elves. In a homebrew campaign that I'm working up, which I think I'll call "Skyland," the humanoid races are all going to be somewhere in between human and various African animals. The most human-like will be called Priman, and they will...

I had a dream about Pun-Pun a few nights ago. He was this weird little garden-gnome sized guy with a huge nose that was removeable. As long as he hung around, anything that could go wrong would. The only way you could get him to stop screwing things up was to drown him. If you took his nose...
