Well, the rumor is that at this year's GenCon there will be a Firefly game out. That might have what you want. Sorry I can't help more than that... -Tatsu

If you want a divine caster / Barbarian, try the PrC "Champion of Gwynharwyf" from the BOED. It's really more like a paladin / barbarian, but if you just bump wisdom more than other stats, it makes a pretty good secondary caster. If you want more powerful magic, you've got to go rage mage...

OK, I'll pimp my own (possibly crappy) ideas. Check out my game intro, maybe there's something in there that you like / can use... (see sig) -Tatsu

I just have a little chart for the +% and -% based on roll. Merchants always take ten, and have enough ranks and equipment to ID any item correctly (Hand wave, but you can easily build an NPC merchant with a huge appraise modifier). The PCs almost always take 10 and I just quickly look at the...

Re: Vampires sleeping, maybe they do it out of pure boredom. You can only concentrate on something so long in a day (in DnD it’s 8 hours) then you just have to relax. Maybe laying in the coffin is flavor text, but any PC needs some down time. Re: Paladins. I am sick to death of people playing...

OK, I have bee pondering this for a while now, and I have come up with another possible idea… The adept casts MI and a whole bunch of ‘adepts’ appear. (I am still unsure if they should be in the same square) If a mage casts MM at the group, targeting each ‘adept’ with one missile, the spell...

Do you mean "Both a reach weapon and a double weapon" or do you mean "A weapon that gives you even more reach than a reach weapon" ?? Actually, it's moot, I don't know of either one. But I would be willing to allow the second one in my game if a player wanted to use it, maybe bring back the Awl...

OK, so the MM is cast and then ... a) Each missile hits a copy of the bad guy, destroying any that are images and damaging the real adept if they hit him. Result: Hurt adept, fewer images b) Each missile fizzles out if it is sent at an image or hits if its sent at the adept. Result: Hurt...

Should I go out on a limb and guess that the other player is playing the fighter and you are playing a spellcaster or something? In my experience, some classes aren't really affected by different wealth levels (monk, sorcerer, cleric, druid) and some absolutely depend on it (fighter, barbarian...

Well, as I have kept mulling this system over, I've decided I like it. As for not everyone being equal, of course the DM can add or subtract based on such things if they are known. If you make an NPC that is known to be a lazy-good-for-nothing, maybe he only gets 100Exp per year. If you have a...

Hi all, I have been rebuilding a homebrew world, and I have been pondering NPC levels. To me, an experience point is defined as how much you learn from doing your job for one normal day. If you figure a normal commoner works most days, you can estimate about 300Exp per year of work for a...

Well if you think about what an attack of oppurtunity is you might allow it. At least to me, an AtoOp is your oponant letting his guard down a little for some reason (drinking a potion, casting a spell, running away). If a player says "I back off while keeping my guard fully up", that"s a...

Even having founded a powerful religion can't help you vs. the OGL lawyers at WotC ! -Tatsu

My guy has an everburning torch. He just puts it in his belt (or sometimes, sticks it into the top of his backpack so it sticks out over his head). It's heatless, so no problem. Before he got it, he had the wizard cast light on his shield a lot. -Tatsu

In my homebrew, one Exp is "The amount you learn by going to work for one normal day". On top of that, some exciting / difficult things happen in every life. I just handwave it as 500 Exp / Year of life (starting at 15) Of course, in my world if you want to find a really high level NPC, you...

What if you don't want classes in the next PHB? Can there be a "None, make them feats / point buy" kind of answer? -Tatsu

Well if you want to capture this feel for a game without adding a lot of rules, just have all the PC's be a 1 HD monster class with no LA. Maybe Goblin? Everyone starts out as the standard Goblin (but probably with better stats and differently allocated skill points) and goes from there. If...

I see the problem now. You forgot to include the surprise round in "regular combat". In the first case above, combat began when the bugbears took their surprise round (to arm themselves Etc.). They have now acted, so they are not flat footed when the PCs join the battle. Same in the second, if...

Huh? What's stopping you from using a buckler and a rod in the same hand? Nothing I'm aware of. There is something to be said of a sorc with a lot of rods and a Handy Haversack. -Tatsu

Try the feat in BOED that lets you think clearly while raging. I think it's called "Righteous Wrath". That might let you cast (or go all 'Scanners' or whatever psions do) while raging... -Tatsu
