You can try taking a look at the Skullclan Hunter from Libris Mortis. It allows sneak attack vs undead as well as a few other slaying abilities as well.

I just pass out XP based on sessions. A regular session is anything up to four hours, a long session is about four to six and a marathon session is six and up. The equation is something like XP=[(base*party level)/(number of characters)]. Usually I give out kudos of some sort. Action Dice...

I imagine that one could get a lot of milage for this out of the Ravenloft Campaign Setting produced by S&S. But then, I say that just about whenever the Mournlands are brought up. Maybe mutation rules out of Gamma World would go well also...

The Wikipedia article is pretty complete and good to push people towards. At least in my opinion.

I like the ideas of combining skills and toning down the skill lists. Normally I wouldn't shove jump, climb and swim all into athletics but since this is D&D an adventurer probably SHOULD be able to confidently traverse all manner of obstacles. One thing that I would NOT do is put search in...

Oh hell. Now I have to go look for that since I am curious.

Where is the Skullclan Hunter again? I'm having a hard time locating it to review.

The problem with that, at least from what I have always read from Keith Baker, is that the cults are far far too diverse to really pin down all that much. They seem to worship any combination of Khyber, abberations, Lords of Dust, fiends, Daelkyr and/or raw madness itself. The only unifying...

Does it REALLY hurt the game that much to just ignore the racial hit dice? I can't imagine it breaking the game to allow four levels of fighter, one LA for gnoll and just ignore the Racial HD completely.

I would never use the ELH for anything, personally. EVER. 21st level easily has better options out there than that book. MoI for me, please.

My players tend to REALLY be into it. Especially since they know they can't die in a flashback. ;)

Exactly. Simply using a magical item can be like using a computer. "Oh look! I put these shoes on and I can run like the wind! Amazing!" or "This box lets me do my taxes at home! Whoo hoo!" Actually WIELDING magic is like PROGRAMMING. Hard dedicated work that takes serious intelligence...

A Magewright is pretty slick for that sort of thing. The arcane answer to the Adept. But it is STILL like asking why doesn't everybody learn auto repair or computer programming or plumbing since it is so usefull. People have different priorities and interests in life.

There is a thread I am about to post from RPGnet that is a rather hilarious telling of why exalted is awesome. You may find it interesting! http://forum.rpg.net/showthread.php?t=282530 Too drunk for HTML. Cope. ;)

I am 100% in favor such a thing. I have never had a problem justifying Notice as my sensory skill. If an eagle rolls Notice then the eagle sees something. If a bat rolls notice then the bat more likely hears something. Sure alot of gamers want to have keen eyes as opposed to keen ears, but...

So long as these are legal attacks of oppurtunity, then yes.

If not actual Oerth Greyhawk, at least an Expidition to Castle Greyhawk is likely. They already confirmed Expiditions to Castle Ravenloft and the Demonweb pits after all!

"Hecubus, have you seen 'Presumed Innocent'"? "Yes, Master. And his WIFE killed her!" "I haven't seen that yet! EVIL EVIL EVIL!!!"

Could be worse. They could have no idea what you were talking about. I had a cult dedicated to Pazuzu in one game, but nobody knew who Pazuzu was and snickered when the cult leader invoked his name. They were good and freaked out right up until the name came up. And these are well read long...

One of them was the Skorne invasion, I think.
