    Did Tolkien create the D&D Ranger?

    My note were lost when my laptop was stolen, but once I created a set of variant classes that included a huntsman class that was essentially a non-magic, non-Tolkienian ranger. He had survival and tracking abilities and specialized in ranged combat, wore medium or light armour, and had no shield...

    Did Tolkien create the D&D Ranger?

    Another influence on Tolkien was the Merovingians and the legends of their lost heirs in hiding from the Carolingians. They were often referred to as "sorcerer-kings" and thought to have both divine and occult powers. After their fall some were said to be in hiding, watching over their...

    New Spell Component Types?

    So I know a lot of players skip over components instead of tracking their inventories all the time and the issue only comes up if the caster it bound or gagged, but how many people really like using them?

    Should the original creators of classes and monsters get credit?

    Who would even know at this point who all the contributors were? If any of you have all of the early issues of Dragon maybe you can start there, but are their other documents that show what was done by who?

    Lost in Translation

    So I was looking at the rules from Ravenloft for fear, horror, and dark power checks as well as wild magic surges. I am thinking of having a chance for each of these effects as well as a chance of some positive effects such as free slots for metamagic.

This is yet another attempt to turn blogging into a...
