    Ooh, I like that last one, Klaus. :)

    Half-Fey Races Revisited

    Ooh, I like it. :) But I think the half-nymph needs more Charisma--maybe trade away the Wild Empathy and cut Dazzling Gaze down to 1/day in exchange for another +2?

    Different flavor genasi w/o level adjustment

    I suggest using the PHB races as a base, and working off of that. Since the Elf is the least quirky of them that has an amalgam of little modificiations, I think it's the best choice for this purpose. Along the lines of... AIR GENASI • +2 Dexterity, -2 Strength • Medium-Size • Base Speed 30' •...

    Coming Back to D&D, thinking about a New Campaign (long)

    It's more of a "you are reincarnated as an angel" than "you gain the powers of an angel, as well as the ones you already have." Or it is according to the popular church, anyway: some would argue that the memories of noble souls simply pass onto an existing Virtue when the mortal dies, or each...

    Coming Back to D&D, thinking about a New Campaign (long)

    While we're on the topic of Religion in the game... The Celestial Host The Celestial Host of Baalel is vast and powerful, but certain Angels are more favored than others. Such angels have not pulled themselves to a higher rank, but instead are simply created as superior: the purpose of an...

    [Epic Spells] Could I have fries with that?

    I'd like to order up an Epic spell, specifically, one which I have very little idea about how to create. What do I want? I want it to do 1 die of damage to everything on some plane of existance. I really am not sure how to create it. Frankly, my biggest problem is getting the damage DOWN from...

    Coming Back to D&D, thinking about a New Campaign (long)

    Sorry, nope. :) I'm not sure about that. The two gods and then the Way are intentionally quite broad, which leaves room for vastly different interpretations of what they are. A cleric of Baalel with the Strength and War domains will have quite a different world view than one with the Healing...

    Coming Back to D&D, thinking about a New Campaign (long)

    I view Haste as a feature, not a drawback--it's not so unballancing if the characters have it active all the time, since their enemies will, too (if they have the means and an ounce of brains, that is). And, unlike harm, it's effects aren't so sudden. Usually. Anyway, I was balancing the...

    Coming Back to D&D, thinking about a New Campaign (long)

    Well, I've been on a break from D&D for a while, mostly designing my game Pagoda (pluggidy plug plug) and dabbling in GNS theory. Consequently, I realized my Gamist motives are quite strong: I Need Strategy. D&D is the best game I know of for this, with huge numbers of options, and I'm not just...

    Should the whole idea of class skills be done away with?

    There already are a few of those. One, Cosmoplitan, gives you a bonus class skill and a +2 bonus on checks with that skill. The other, whose name I can not remember for the life of me, gives you two bonus class skills.

    Should the whole idea of class skills be done away with?

    I suggest that, instead of nixing class skills altogether, you do something more along the lines of d20 Modern's professions or the 'floating class skills' used by Ryan and co in Savannah Knights: Just give every character one or two bonus, permanent class skills. If they pick a skill that is...

    NC GAME DAY II (Aug 23): Man, was that fun or what?!

    I just got off the phone with Corlon, and he said that one of the other players in our group (sometimes posts around here as Ivanhoe) might show up and fill in a role somewhere. I don't have any more specifics, just wanted to give a heads-up. See you all tomorrow morning! Jeff

    NC GAME DAY II (Aug 23): Man, was that fun or what?!

    Right! No one's signed up to play Briwars (and I won't have time to stat units up is someone signs up now), so there will be a slight change of plans: In the morning slot, I will run a game for walk-ins (and anyone who might like to sign up now) using a very simple system based upon Risus and...

    Dirty old gnome. :D Moe, I think you mentioned somewhere that your birthday was Dec 31? Can you confirm or deny this? I started highschool a week ago; today was my 6th day. I think I've got a new group together, too! 'S been fun so far. How're you holding up? :)

    Is this our very own DM Magic?

    I (heart) the writing style. Way to make a dray subject interesting! (well, dray for me at any rate.) :)
