For excellent if somewhat pricey maps I'd suggest looking at some of the Harnworld maps. While they wouldn't be great for high fantasy they are excellent for low fantasy games.

Large and In Charge is an extremely useful feat for some types of monsters to utilize but I also wonder how common it's going to be in the standard course of play. The most common creatures that are going to have it are some of the brute force monsters like Giants and Dragon types. Most of the...

Unless you play in predominantly outdoor settings (not the norm for many campaigns) the size and the inherent problems of a centaur moving up stairs and ladders, etc are pretty extreme. Considering all but the largest staircases are going to be 5' wide at maximum and might not be able to be...

Some fighter tactics that are useful against parties 1) Gernade weapons with splash effects and sustained damage are nice for forcing those pesky spellcasters to at least have to make a concentration check. Acids and alchemist fire are the most easily available items that accomplish this feat...

While many of the outsiders as written are woefully off in terms of CR I think that if you adjust some of them slightly perhaps giving the ones with Teleport without Error the Quickened Spell Like ability feat the weak ones become far tougher. Beware of letting too many sonic effect spells and...

What most of the powergamers fail to realize is that against some types of foes the 2 shortsword tactic is actually better. Yes in situations where full attack is almost always an option a greatsword does incredible damage but against highly skilled opponents a greatsword can be a liability...

To use gate as a summon monster spell IMC I would probably only allow it to work if the caster had the true name of an outsider to be summoned or the caster says I want to gate in a Solar etc in which case it would be up to the Solar to come through the gate. Either that or I would make Gate...

Amen Fuzion especially with atomik fuzion add-ons completely roxxors D20 modern and that's just in relation to combat which is sooo fubared in d20 modern as to be laughable.

I concur as to acertaining spells that you could state, "Teleport me out if a Strong (7th level +) abjuration effect is cast within a certain radius"

I would suggest that your interpretation makes no sense as even a quickened M's Disjunction requires a free action to accomplish and a character with a readied action could in theory cancel that spell with an attack or a counterspell, that a spell whose description uses the word instanteous...

I would suggest that you need to be the appropriate caster level rather than total character level or else you could have PCs getting a few levels of spellcaster plus a scroll or two and being able to assemble some of the more potent miscellaneous items. (can you imagine a fighter 17/ wizard 3...

I would seriously doubt it as the contingency spell itself doesn't really have any innate intelligence. IMC I would allow contingency, chain contingency and E's Evasion to react to obvious environmental changes. For instance I would suggest that someone casting Time Stop is in effect gathering...

How about a D20 Modern that doesn't completely suck, which is definitely possible because SW D20 revised completely ownz d20 modern...

IMC Cohorts are in fact independent NPCs that just happen to serve the PC in some fashion, that means they have lives and motivations of thier own. In my mind that pretty much requires them to be under DM control. As to your Polymorphed creatures keeping supernatural abilities the SRD says thus...

Contingency has an instantaneous effect, which even a quickened spell is slower than IMHO as a quickened spell can still be counterspelled. If you want to use WotC's own terminology a quickened spell would be an instant while the contingency is an interrupt ;)

I don't have books here but are legendary animals valid polymorph choices? Grimlock offers some benefits as well as blindsight equipped monks are terrors in deeper darkness. Ettercap could also be useful in many ways assuming the web effect is natural. Other than that interesting...

I think when people bring up realistic they generally mean "adheres to the accepted reality of the genre". For example it is generally accepted in the action genre that having the heroes run out of ammo except in dramatically appropriate instances is poor. However it is also considered poor...

Dear god didn't telekinesis get errata'ed yet? Anyway it seems obvious that to have even a remote chance, and I'm talking remote chance that the sorceror/wizard would have to metagame like crazy too, which really kinda defeats the purpose. Beyond that this has pretty much descended into a...

It's actually called Engel and it's based on a german game of the same name, without going into details it does present a very interesting sci-fi + religious mindset.

Actually with a contingency the Dragon can use a greater dispelling geared against the time stop caster or just use the contingency-teleport chain.
