    +1 ability per level?

    The way we do it in my campaign, is that at every fourth level you get 1/2 your level in extra points for point buy. It ends up allowing for one score to slowly increase very high, or all of them to be come better over time. Allows for some overall high ability scores, but we play very low magic...

    Warcraft D20 campaign idea: Warcraft IV

    Interesting. In Episode 3 though, I cant imagine the Night Elves allying with rogue orcs/trolls/ogres. If anyone in the hoard, they would ally themselves with the Tauren who would undoubtably stay by Thralls side after the events in WC3. That would make a more "balanced" war I suppose...

    Longer feet, shorter feet

    Id have to vote against it. Fighting anything with intelligence that was that large would be almost impossible for any melee fighter. They take thier 10 foot step back, full attack. Fighter has to move up 10 feet, take an AOO, then only gets one attack. Repeat until slaughter. Their...

    CoC Purity?

    Our group got tired of the percieved power creep in 3.5 and we play CoC lots now, its the anti-power game heh. We enjoy the D20 version more in the long run because it does give you something to look foward to besides permenant insanity (which is still very possible in D20). My character...

    Handling XP when the PCs bypass the enemy rather than facing it.

    Give them the experience, they are already forfeiting the treasure and possible money they could gain. I suppose it depends on how you look at it though... did they run away or did they defeat the ambush.

    How do "Spread" spell effects ... spread?

    I tend to think of a spread more like water flowing. Its going to get around corners etc. Also, you can assume that spell has somewhere from 6-2 or 3 seconds to spread in, very reasnoble for only 30 feet.

    Stats On A Flamberge?

    In our game we made the Flamberge 2d6 (18-20x2) and exotic. Since it has a curvy blade its critical threat range should be higher by scimitar logic ;)

    Low Magic: Alternatives to "every other" spellcasting levels?

    As an extreme example, here is how it works in my Conan campaign... Wizard/Cleric are 10 level prestige classes, though not too hard to get into by level 5. Casting any spell causes sanity loss (we use sanity like CoC) but you can use your wisdom modifier as Sanity Hardness. Spell damage dice...

    New Incantatrix Questions

    I believe the only change in requirements is that you cannot have a restricted school of magic. Personally I like the class alot better now, it has a definate theme unifying it. Just be sure to pump up Spellcraft so that you can add metamagic feats to other peoples spells and spells in effect...

    Question about the Globes of Invulnerability.

    Improved Invisibility? Mirror Image? Blink? Stoneskin? or any combination thereof :) What level spell do you think the Globes should be if you made them mobile? 1 or 2 levels higher? That seems to be the one reason I never take those spells.

    When was the sword put out of use?

    Ok, here is my personal experience with firearms and military training... I generally dislike these personal accounts, because you dont know me, and there is no way to know if it is true... anyway In my training I was never taught how to use a knife. The only reason we were taught to use a...

    Hellboy Stats?

    I did some work on a conversion to D20 modern awhile ago, but nobody seemed too interested really. Not enough people read Hellboy in my opinion. I think (if I remember correctly) I made Hellboy a Tough/Wise Hero and then took that PRC that gives you regen and magic weapon... gosh I'm mind...

    When was the sword put out of use?

    I'd say it was put out of use about the time people invented bayonettes (though that is more like a spear I guess). I certainly cant imagine anyone in the US army using a knife or bayonette in combat, unless you ran out of all of your ammo, and then only if you had no way to run away. In modern...

    Hellboy Stats?

    After thinking about he shouldnt be power level 20, thats where Rasputin belongs :) The reason I think he should be above power level 10 is that he seems alot more powerful than any of the other people in the bureau. The closest person to Hellboy as far as that goes would be Roger.

    Hellboy Stats?

    I dont think I would let a player taking Hellboy choose the disturbing appearance trait. Though he looks like a demon, even strangers and peasants who see him are always unsuprised to see him and are never disturbed by his looks. Realisticly he would need to be around power level 15 or more...

    Dervish-style whirling frenzy barbarian for AU

    I would think +1 to +5 like a monk, but it stacks with light armor only, and only while in the whirling frenzy.

    Adventuring Party Needed!

    These guys sound kind of like Ring Wraiths riding Fell beasts... ;) Heres my take on one and his mount. Cloron Shattersoul (Undead; Augmented Humanoid) Male Orc Ghost Ftr 4/Clr 7; CR 13; HD: 11d12; HP (78); Init +3; Spd 30 ft. Fly 30ft (perfect); AC 22 (+7 breastplate, +2 dex, +3 deflection)...

    Conan: Coming of the Cimmerian

    I just got this book from Amazon, and it could be some of the best 10 dollars I spent on a book yet. Its almost 500 pages, with 15+ Conan stories in the original text as by Howard. No "posthumous collaborations" here. I have never read Conan before, and had only seen the movies, but I am...

    Prc Class for arcane casters (mayber others)

    It would be way too powerful for a one level dip. You get reduce metamagic by one, a bonus feat, and an increase in caster levels. You would want to spread out the abilities over a few levels to not front load it so much.

    PCs vs. 1-mile long living airship!

    The range is so short on Wall of Force you would have to be virtually standing on the beasts nose to put it in a lethal area so that it could plow into it. Otherwise it would just sort of deflect off of the wall.
