What you are talking about sounds like you should have a look at the old X1 module Isle of Dread. It would fit what you seem to want with a bit of tweaking/modifying, but the basic structure would be there for you. D

I would go with the marshall as a commander type character but I would also look at heroes of battle and perhaps combine it with some cleric levels and the medic class. So you would be commanding the group from behind the front lines while ensuring they're all healthy. But I must agree that...

I posted something like this a long time ago on a news list somewhere ... my system was quite simplistic ... You took all the abilities gained in a level for a character and divided the required experience by that number. So you could buy whichever feature you wished as you go the experience...

In my homebrew world it would depend on the "age" players are in. However for the general fantasy/D&D time period, powder weapons are the best technology they have (flint lock pistols etc - Renaissance type). Steam power is limited to small experimental projects at this time. Of course there...

Your idea is a great one if it makes your campaign move along and your players involved. However the concerns discussed about the chances for getting too powerful are valid. Personally I would perhaps adjust this so that the box can only be opened ONCE per month at the apex of the full moon or...

1) Yes we use them. In my homebrew Psionics are available except that I use Psionics/Magic are different. The reasons for this are part of the world's history/secrets. In addition, psionic characters (NPCs and PCs) are few and far between - they tend not to reveal their capabilities if they...

One thing that no one has mentioned is that you could raise the capital by selling shares in your business. Say you needed 100,000 gp to get it started. And that you thought you might make 100 gp a month. Then you sell each share of as 1,000 gp for 1% of the business. That way you can have...

This kind of world will not flop per se unless you have to really mangle what has been done to fit something new. An old 2ed DM of mine did the same thing but with Dungeon Adventures, his own adventures, and the few modules he owned. Strangely enough, remembering that campaign world, it was...

You could go the psionic route as well. There is a power that let you see/hear using another sense. This would also explain how extremely loud noise hampers the blind swordsman. D

How's that look so far? Since I'm biased it looks perfect :) D

The template should be LA+0 but be restricted to Human only. It would require a feat to be taken before become an Elan (any level at all it shouldn't matter) - this would "eat up" the bonus human feat. At that point you simply have to account for the bonus 1 skill point (4 at first level) they...

DreamChaser has raised a very good point. Listen and Spot are not just senses, they involved discernment of what those senses tell you. Spot for example: there is a wind blowing through the clearing, however the bush over there is moving in a manner not appropriate for the wind. There is...

It would depend on how many levels of the class you want. Normally they're 3 levels ... so I would personally follow the format of the other Paragon classes ... Non-Psionic ------------- 1. Improvement of basic abilities (weapon focus tentacle or bonus grappling feat or reach) 2. Improve main...

It depends on how you term successfully ... In my old Greyhawk campaign (2nd edition), the Tarassque actually lived on Greyhawk and slept under a large mesa in the Grand Canyon (well the big chasm that is like the Grand Canyon). The party encountered it during its hibernation (they had to...

Actually if you look at some of the monsters with fast healing (Mephit for example), Fast Healing only seems to garner a +1 LA / point. My reasoning follows, please correct if I'm wrong or have been misguided. Mephit has +3 LA, along with 3 HD it is a +6 creature (if I'm correct on the...

Its the whole recording a macro thing. Different versions of Excel record macros differently depending on environment etc. I've written a spreadsheet that sorts initiative etc just as you have, but since I know VBA I manually programmed it. It seems to work on any OS, the only requirement is...

Unfortunately your spreadsheet does not work on Excel for Mac. I had a quick look at your code to try and figure out what you did ... Question: did you basically do a Record Macro and use that code? D

Personally I would give everyone the same number of points for their abilities and charged them the same as Psionic powers. So a first level spell costs the same as a first level power etc. This way you don't have to make any changes to the Psionic classes. They get overchannelling and power...

I've thought of doing something along the lines of using all of the abilities ... however firstly comments on your idea. You will definately make saving throws harder ... for some classes. Assume most characters max out their prime attribute and dump a 10 or 12 into others. For a Rogue...
