    AD&D 2E Kits Versus Subclasses?

    Looking back at a lot of kits, especially Wizard kits, it seems like a lot of them should have been full classes, not kits. The Complete Sha'ir's Handbook (Al-Qadim) has numerous extremely complicated and powerful kits that radically change the way Wizards are played. To me, they always looked...

    D&D 3.x Plague and Pox

    Does anyone have rules for things like hygiene and the effect of sewer systems on contagion?

    AD&D 2E New kit?

    They need to have access to Necromancy and Abjuration. They should have to suffer some type of cost for healing others, because they are not sourcing divine energy. Maybe they must lose a point of Con temporarily when they cast a spell or age faster than normal. Something thematic to show they...

    D&D 3.x Plague and Pox

    Do you use diseases in your campaigns? Are there good non-magical cures and treatments? Do you deal with all of the consequences of pandemics? Is there proper sanitation and hygiene in your campaign setting?

    D&D General Lamest D&D classes all time

    So many moons ago, back in the bad old days of 3E, I contributed to this e-book, UNORTHODOX Rogues - The Le Games | DriveThruRPG.com I don't think any of the five core classes I created really qualify as "lame", but the Layabout might. This class was a rogue variant that specialized in mooching...

    D&D General Lamest D&D classes all time

    Bards in 1E were really what would today be called a Prestige Class that required levels in Fighter, Thief, and Druid. It was a really powerful build.

    D&D 5E (2014) Assuming Dark Sun is on the horizon, what are your worries?

    "Medium" Half-Giants. Excuse me? Yes, I know Large characters cause problems in the game. Suck it up! THIS IS ATHAS!

    D&D 5E (2014) Mythological Figures: Captain Nemo

    I don't know enough about the current rules, and my vision of the character is being affected by The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, so I am just thinking he should be a good fencer and tougher than a nerd in a lab tinkering with machines.

    D&D 5E (2014) Mythological Figures: Captain Nemo

    Was he JUST an artificer? He should have levels in a combat oriented class, too, no?

    Sick, Twisted Villains?

    My work is definitely not for little kids. I want to see college kids and older adults digging into it, not children. I am not even sure just what would be considered "sick" for a PG or G audience. What is the worst thing a villain in children's literature has done?

    D&D General Doomsday Weapons?

    I did have Spaceballs in mind, but I was thinking how to redo it in a more horror/fantasy style. Thinking about the vacuum that sucked away a planet's air made me think of the Plane of Vacuum as described in the Planescape setting and its planar portals. So the question is, how big would a...

    D&D General Doomsday Weapons?

    This would be a great way to become rich and destroy your enemies at the same time. An enemy from another world could launch at your planet then watch the mayhem as people at first fight over the gold, then realize their error as their world is slowly converted into gleaming, yellow metal one...

    D&D General Doomsday Weapons?

    An idea hit me as I was trying to go to sleep last night, the "Black Door", a portal to the Plane of Vacuum so big it sucks a world's atmosphere away, destroying all life on the planet. Have you thought of a spell or device that could wreck a planet? What are your Armageddon devices?

    Real World/Historical Figures that would make great PCs

    Gillem de Gellone, king of Septimania, descended from King David, brother of the head rabbi of France, ancestor of every modern royal in Europe, and despite being of Jewish descent, a canonized saint. At the coronation of Charlemagne, it was Gillem who actually placed the imperial crown on the...
