You can also check out The Ironics from E. N. Publishing for a quick band of mercenaries or possibly PC's for a "one shot". Everyone Else is also a good resource, but I usually make up my own. Having some of my own npc classes (fanatic and hermit), sometimes it is necessary.

We had many over the years, but only two come to mind as memorable: The Bar Burners: From a tavern brawl that got out of hand. Motley Crew: everyone was half-something and no two alike.

Ambrose, It seems that Duke Pierson has again claimed aggrieved status with the king. He says that persons of the court have sabotaged his interests in the island nations by assassinating his main source of income, a merchant of some repute. Nevermind the fact that he has built a port on every...

Like the previous reply, this one deals with a castle built on a cloud (not upsidedown). The castle is ruled by a powerful evil fey (ice witch, Medium, 9 HD, casts as 12th sorcerer, immune to cold, cold-type abilities) that treats all visitors to the cloud as intruders that must be dealt with...

Sorry for the delay, working on chocolate mousse led me to the realization that I needed a whole slew of other recipes to make it. Whipped cream, chocolate, vanilla, custard, cream cheese, and others. I am working on it, but it will take a bit longer.

When the players call upon the god of luck in your campaign, do you give them 7 choices of luck gods? Or one whose backstory tells why he might show interest in certain things? Are your gods only so you can have clerics in your campaign or do they actually affect the campaign in ways small and...

Deities and Demigods 3.0 and Epic Level Handbook 3.0; There are conversions for 3.5. But is 3.5 similar enough to port them over without overhaul? Deities and Demigods had complete rules for creating your own deity, listing domains, salient divine abilities, portfolios, etc. as well as generic...

I recall earlier editions where great adventures were to be had involving the gods personally interacting with the players. Not novice characters, but seasoned adventurers after a long road to fame/infamy. I see Tiamat and want more. I want rules to make my own deities in 5e. Not just lists of...

Perhaps I should KISS and just make it a blanket -1 rank modifier per point of Intelligence modifier lost to all skills until removed. And as a bone to the players, synergies are not lost.

I was copying the level loss rules. Negative level until removed or converted to actual level loss (does level loss include loss of skill points? if so how do you handle this?). Most negative levels that I recall have a set duration of 24 hours, after which a new saving throw (DC set by effect...

Hmmm, and I just wanted a quick easy rule for Int gain. Which, other than re-writing the level loss rules en toto is what I have. So, drop the decrease part, because other than symmetry; why deal with all the messed up loss systems anyway. That is a rule for another problem. Increases in...

It would still work sometimes, sniff sniff, because there are skills it is useful to have at least one rank in: you can't try them if you don't have a rank in them (mostly what I classify as rogue-type skills, so the skill monkeys should take care of most of them, but a point in a little-used...

Ok, here's what I've got so far. Help, Comments? Intelligence affects your current total skill points as well as your modifier to Intelligence-based skills. When you gain a point of Intelligence that increases your number of skill points/level; you suddenly find that you understand the skills...

Your objections are getting tired. The same ones, that I have refuted repeatedly. You continually seem to discover things that I said previously in earlier posts as new information. Your perfect house rule that cannot be challenged, I challenged. I do not use it in my campaign thus it is not a...

Thank you Greenfield, for no help whatsoever. I will stop responding to you.

Eric, Kerrik has taken care of our merchant problem. He acquired 6 copies of the pages plus the original still in the merchant's safe (I did not ask how he got the safe open, he has no lock-picking skills). He also got a list of buyers of copies, but thinks it unwise to deal with so many so...

Thank you for noticing the troll part, I do want to continue this conversation, without all the heated argument. 1. So my explanation for Int loss is not good for you? Negative mods to the skills equal in value to Int lost until reversed? 2. Spreadsheet? Don't know how to use those. pffbb! I...

Eric, Here is a copy of the pages from the merchant that escaped to the island nations. My agents caught up with him and offered to buy the original. He said he had already sold it and several copies to other customers. He offered as many copies as we wanted, saying he could whip up a few more...

My only suggestion for creature type is make their own, either undead (thus charm not needed) or constructs (also charm not needed). I do not know of a specific creature that is immune to stun but susceptible to charm; but I am sure there are some. Edit: A horde of earth elementals (of various...

Quick Recap of this thread up to page 5. Herzog said that decreases should be retroactive too. I agreed and modified my rule such. Runestar claimed retroactive con is easier to figure than retroactive int, I disagree, my formula is just as easy as his. Voadam asked when you permanently lose...
