    Needless Variation

    So what sorts of situations has this lead to? It sounds like it could be fun, BTW.

    Needless Variation

    Re: Re: Needless Variation Understood. I am not saying that the Force System needs to be ported over to d20 Modern, nor am I saying that Fantasy-specific elements need to crop into other genre or setting books... So explain to my how this observation applies to the recovery rules, for example.

    Needless Variation

    Agreed on the Fort Save. But see below. And here is my problem with the Threshold rule... How difficult would it have been to simply have the Threashold rule written consistantly such that the deadliness of any given campaign can be set like a dial on a piece of machinery? Seems like the sort of...

    It should come as no surprise that I disagree. :) The problem is degree of shift. Suppose I take the example you are speaking of in shifting from a d20-based game and (say...) GURPS. When I shift to GURPS, I have _no_ assumptions that the game will work like Spycraft, or Dungeons and Dragons or...

    how much weight can a flying creature lift?

    The Way I Handle This: On page 162 of the 3.5 PHB, we have the Carrying Capacity chart. This chart shows that for a ST 10 creature, light load us up to 33 pounds, and Heavy Load is up to 100 pounds (a shift of about x3). This chart goes on to show that all Strength levels have this same ratio...

    (cross posting to the Rules Forum, d20 Modern forum and House Rules forum) Something that has been bothering me: the d20 system is supposed to be a rules set that can be tailored to various genres in such a way that it can server as a solid foundation, thus keeping you from having to learn a...

    Pros and cons of PDFs

    Pros: low overhead cost to generate and distribute (from a publisher's point of view). Con: desire to print makes initial cost point illusionary. By the way, what do you mean by a lack of seriousness?

    which realm is your game set in?

    Other: Umbragia (of course), as well as some (other?) homebrews.

    Unified Magic System -- help?

    My, aren't you the cheerful one. Perhaps you should cut back on the amount of sugar you take in each morning... :rolleyes:

    [Medical Update] Im Here, Im Queer ... Aw Forget It, Im Tired To Finish It!

    Re: Out of place Nothing. When it is the personal medical status a dear and beloved member of this community, yes it does. When the modest sexual banter is a light-hearted attempt to help a dear and beloved member of this community cope with said medical status, yes it does. Then I suggest you...

    ENnies 2004 - looking ahead

    Not to honk my own horn too much, but I really think that UMBRAGIA: Volume IV -- Liber Sacerdotti has a shot next year. It is shaping up to be the largest, and best looking and best written supplement we have put out; we are making sure it will be fully 3.5 compliant. What we have learned...

    Part 6 Class Changes (optional) Spell Casters (must have) Druids from the phb may not gain a Wolf as a familiar. Or a Familiar that does more than 1d2dmg and/or has more than HD 1. This is due to the fact that druids are already spell casters and possess other special abilities. The same...
