    Permanent Increases in Intelligence Question

    Taking your points one at a time. So If I, a mage, gain a point of str permanently (that is what we are talking about permanent changes, quit trying to confuse the issue with temporary). and it increases my attack and damage bonus, I do not get to apply it because I am not a melee combatant...

    Permanent Increases in Intelligence Question

    The increased Intelligence allows you to more fully understand what you have already learned, you can add skill points only to those skills that are not maxed out yet (Spot and Listen come to mind). This is not the modifier, which shows up as increased utility of the skills, the same roll will...

    How many age categories should dragons have?

    I have a category of dragons called "Elder Dragons." Not an age category, more a power-level category. The method of gaining this category requires great age and something special. Different for each dragon. From my campaign, Jonical: "An elder dragon is a type of wyrm that predates written...

    Eric, I apologize for not getting back to you sooner. It seems I hit a snag; but I took the initiative and dealt with it. The next person on our list was Duke Pierson, a most disagreeable person. I showed up at his estate backed by a group of sheriffs and politely asked for entrance to speak...

    Permanent Increases in Intelligence Question

    Why not every 3 levels, wouldn't that allow the fighter to keep ? Or even every 2? I remember in 1e AD&D that fighters got 1 attack/level but only against less than 1 HD creatures (goblins and kobolds mostly it seemed, though there were many others). No playtesting?

    Permanent Increases in Intelligence Question

    What version of feeblemind are you using that lists intelligence equal to a lizard. What I have is a decidedly different wording, that deals with game rules and removes the ability to make int and chr checks for victims of the spell. It says nothing about not being able to make Int or Chr checks...

    Permanent Increases in Intelligence Question

    Upon thinking about it for a bit; you seem to be working on a false assumption. An Intelligence of 1 does not take out someone. Quote from the SRD: An animal has an Intelligence score of 1 or 2. A creature of humanlike intelligence has a score of at least 3. ... While any loss is debilitating...

    Permanent Increases in Intelligence Question

    NO rule survives the table unchallenged. Coming up with a rule that does is strictly impossible. There are ALWAYS corner cases. The players are not computers and they will think of many things you did not prepare for in every situation and with every rule. That is why there is a DM required at...

    Caution: DetourI have also seen somewhere on enworld a thread where someone (forget who, real full of info today) worked out a system for learning languages including different levels of proficiency (basic, advanced, native, or something like that). Everyone's racial language is native, or...

    Permanent Increases in Intelligence Question

    Take this real world example. Astronauts must extensively train for outer space. They train in low gravity environments (under water) and in zero gravity. Going from normal gravity to zero gravity is similar to gaining Strength. Your strength does not change but the weight you have to move...

    Permanent Increases in Intelligence Question

    The rationalizations for why it is done are all metagame: it is not realistic, I follow the rules, etc. But they are just that, rationalizations. As far as skills set upon finding the item; Stealth, Bluff, Hide, etc. would be a strange one for a wizard to construct, unless your rogues regularly...

    Permanent Increases in Intelligence Question

    I like this idea. But it does seem to force the chosen skill on the player (unless I misunderstood what you posted), so I would just let them choose the skill(s) when first put on (err, after the 24 hour period), and then they would be stuck with that choice. Even taking off the headband and...

    Permanent Increases in Intelligence Question

    I asked the question and I listened because I could not think of a good answer. Neither could anyone else. All the answers seem to boil down to: it has always been done this way, don't rock the boat. People who do not want to try it claim it requires more work, without trying it to see for...
