I figured Cop would be a base class.

If the PCs deal with other groups in any sort of friendly way, I see them carrying around lots of trade goods. Then they'll barter, and the game will see lots of barter role play. Either that or you'll have to cut out other friendly groups or establish some sort of trading standard (which brings...

Either that or I hope Sense Motive is a class skill for cops.

Could be a kidnapped Elan after a helm of opposite alignment, a Prestidigitation to grow the goatee, and maybe a suggestion or two from the succubus.

I switched to 3.5 from 2E. i started playing D&D again in 3.0 but a friend told me not to buy the books because new ones were coming out in six months, so I waited. I still use some 3.0 book however such as Savage Species.

Even if something else is going on, it's still a witch hunt, the only difference is that there are actually some witches. I can think of no reason for the mage guild to go along with the church making demands of them. Cyric and dopplegangers are the least of the issues when divine casters are...

Depends on the DM. For most and most games, I'd say that it really doesn't matter. Are we in Greyhawk, the Dales, or some homebrew? Usually, I'd say that it won't affect the game or dungeon one bit. For those DMs that it does, they've usually spent enough time to make different and bring...

The first non-core book I bought was Tome of Horrors, because I wanted many of the old 1E monsters that were in it but not the MM. I just can't imagine D&D without piercers, lurker aboves, rot grubs, green slime, and the like. Best enhancement to the game otherwise would be PHB II, IMHO. If...

IMC, dragons are the first intelligent race, dating all the way back to the time of dinosaurs. Like many intelligent races, they were created by the mating of animistic forces (mountains and fire in the case of red dragns for example) in the spiritual world which created the first dragons whcih...

Impersonater mindflayers. After eating a persons mind and otherwise learning their secrets with psionics, they use magic to impersonate that person. That impersonator then uses his place to help the rest of his group take the place of other people in power. They pose as other people, perhaps...

To make things interesting, you could have some of the guild members also be members of the town watch. Makes sence to get some of the town watch on the payroll. If the party kills them, then they may be chased down for killing watch members unless they can sufficiently show such guards deserved...

Cure is a cure is a cure. Damage healed is the same. The simple matter of the fact (IMC) that in a heroic fantasy setting the heroes (higher level characters) can take more damage than the low levels. The peasant will die if you shove a spear through their gut, where Crags the barbarian will...

Casters and archers will lose out. If threatened, they'll have to cast and suffer AoO, move away and suffer AoO then cast, or withdraw and lose any other action. I suspect that withdraw will be the chosen action as they all run behind the fighters. If they can't move behind other characters...

I require training for new feats, including class features, skill points, and spells (but not slots). Training is normally a week per feat or skill point spent (as per 3.5 DMG), but instead of the normal 50 Gp per week as listed, it requires hireing somebody that already has that feat or skill...

Keep on the Borderlands To learn D&D 3.5 just after I bought it, I ran an "all night of hack-n-slash D&D and eating pizza". All I did was use KotB and once they ran across monsters just pulled out the also new Monster Manual for stats. Had 8 1st level characters and everything ran smoothly...

Unfortunatly, rudeness is a social function and not a game function. Cheating could be considered a game function and not a social function. In general, depending on how it was done, offering optimization suggestions is not rude, but insisting they follow them or gettign upset because their...

At first I thought so, but later changed my mind. Right now K:D is used for aberations. Somehow, I don't think all aberations are only found underground. While many are, there are plenty that are found in marshes, hills, and forests. An aberation is mentioned in the SRD as "An aberration has a...

If you really want to experience 1E rules as they were played back in the day, read them, think about how you would rather see it doen instead, and then come up with your own house rules. These house rules would come and go and get modified with each game as the DM and the players decided if...

I agree with you that it is a small mistake.

Well, if you want to get into what I think should be done. I'd just as soon get rid of it. Spleunking falls under survival. Oozes under nature. Caverns under geography. Aberations under Arcana. There's no real reason it should exist at all except to sound cool. After the list of all the other...
