    Alignment Detection

    Yep, the quick and dirty fix is to have the spells grants a bonus to Sense Motive checks.

    Abolish the search skill

    I wouldn't do away with it. However I would consider giving a player a bonus to his roll for describing in detail the methods used for searching.

    Great Names, Inspiration, and Equipment

    I will have to check these out. It might be easier than finding Caeser's Legion :) since the Library gave away my "reserved" copy and Borders and B. Dalton were plumb out of them. It must be a popular book. :D While we are naming books, some of the most inspiring books of my youth I still love...

    Action-less combat

    Interseting, Lost Soul. Last might I started thinking about something similar myself. In the older editions, you could move half your rate and still attack. With the decreased movement rate, maybe characters should still get a single attack, (TWF is considered a single attack for action...

    Piratecats old story hours?

    Piratecat, did you get the files I sent? The Eversink Chronicles have been sent to P'Kitty. RPGHOST axed all the free websites, including mine, for financial reasons. :( I am at a lost for a server, but am getting pretty busy lately anyway with other things.

    Action-less combat

    One thing to add. I tried this out a few times today. If the character is performing a second or third action that doesn't requrire a check, you can always roll for a concentration check to do the task, with the proper penalty. For example: While walking across the temple floor (first action...

    A different way of handling equipment

    I like this. Just like I like the "no need to keep track of the ammo" rule in d20 SW and when a 1 is rolled you are out and need to re-load . :)

    Action-less combat

    Under my system I might break it down like this: The climbing character's, we will call the Dread Pirate Roberts ;) turn has come up in initiative. Climbing up the wall: Roberts decides that it is more importantant to concentrate on getting that stinkin' badger off his back than trying to...

    Action-less combat

    Lost Soul. I wrote this in another thread, called Streamlining action types. A couple of things I did not point out is that this works at low levels without any adjustments, cause few get *TRUE* multiple attacks. A TWF attack is considerd one attack for the purpose of extra action penalties...

    Where is the thread with all those alternative campaign ideas?

    Piratekitty was kind enough to copy it into the Archive forum also.

    Asking myself "Why?" about gaming lately...

    I yes, thanks Yuan Ti for reminding me of a question I was going to ask Eric. Eric, what sorts of signs are you seeing that might lead you to see "the day?" I am just curious. I am having a lot of mixed feelings myself, lately. When RPGHost killed all the free websites, my was gone. I wasn't...

    Anyone near Napa, CA?

    Well, HA. I can certainly see where you are coming from. I have a three year subscription to both Dragon and Dungeon magazines. I read through them when I get them, and end up putting them in a box. I would like to get a scanner to copy the pages I want, then I would probably ebay the mags. I...

    Asking myself "Why?" about gaming lately...

    I don't think it is because Eric said he is getting older, (like many would point out, there are gamers well into their sixties) but I think what Eric means, and he can correct me if I am wrong, is the external stimuli that comes with getting older. Remember the summers during grade school...

    Against the Shadows VII - A Faded Glory Story Hour (Re-Updated - 5/17)

    If you are willing to give up your rights to the setting for $120,000, (I darn tootin' I would :D) then go for it. Honestly, if you entered, I would be VERY disapointed if it didn't make it into the top 3, (even though I think you can take the title from Greenwood! :) ) Funny I made that...

    Anyone near Napa, CA?

    I have a friend who is from Petaluma. He was the best DM I ever had. A Great player too, as I have had some of the best games with him over the years. Unfortunitly, he is currently TDY to Alaska with the USCG. So, I doubt he will be able to hook up. BTW, HA, are you looking to get out of...
