Your version is fairly similar to what I have done - HD=d6 Skill Points = 4+int (add UMD) No Familiar (must us a feat to obtain one) May take a priest domain - spells on domain are added to spells known. All that, and Wizard is IMO STILL a better all around choice dut to versitility. Yes...

How do you like deities that were once mortals? IMC (homebrew), ALL the gods are ascended mortals. Works fine for me. =) Which is fairly close to how I've been doing it, but outside of a cosmic level world event, I think only 2 have fallen due to PC actions in over 25 years of gaming.

I can remember for a number of years, parties pooling their left over starting cash to add a hireling or two and the infamous War Dog to theiar groups. Pre-printed adventures frequently included npc who could become henchmen or hirelings. Heck, IIRC, the darn 2+2 HD War Dogs had an attack matrix...

Changing things up is the way I like to do it. Try one of these -Spend some game days playing board or card games instead - ones that let you, or force you to make numbers based decisions. A game like Starfleet Battles really changes the mind set. After a few games of that, you'll want that...

Good board games that should fit your requirements- New(ish): Pompeii Hey that's my Fish! Pillars of the Earth Mesopotamia Notre Dame Vikings (heck Rio Grande has a stack of good games out that I played demos of at Origins) Older: Tigris & Euphrates Acquire Domaine Emerald Puerto Rico <---I...

No, not all all. I do not advocate a suprise nature to the feat, the caster would still be aware that casting defensively would not function against the possessor of the feat, just that other people/monsters/whatever who also threaten the caster would not get any direct benefit.

Really the problem is not just the absolute nature of the feat, the problem is that it creates an effect upon the caster. It would be better to keep the feat more or less as is with the exception that the feat allows the possessor to do something, as opposed to forbiding the target from doing...

Well, I have a half-ogre Fighter that was created in the summer of '85 that occasionally gets hauled out even in these days (he's gone from 1st to 21st now) but its not that common, other players are as afraid of bringing him on adventures as they are of the bad guys. Well, my home brew world...

I was there - one thing is that they spread things out a bit better than in previous years - the fading of the CCG crowd allowed more room for board games and minis. The exhibit hall seemed very busy - it was difficult to get into both the Mayfair and Rio Grande demo areas.

A few of my favorites from my collection of old RPGs- M.I.S.S.I.O.N. and KABAL (same rules, Modern and Fantasy respectively) Jorune (still have it in its pre-release box) Stormbringer (which our group switched to playing for almost a year during the D&D = Satan worship craze of the late 80s -...

Lotta years of playing games. Weeding out the derivitave and silly names, using only D&D (by any name you choose) and only using my PC names, I come up with this list off the top of my head. I know there are others whose names just arn't comming to me at the momemt, so this list will have to...

I've played a fair amount - 15-30 hands of it or so. Its an OK lightweight game, plays and scales fairly well. I'm also looking forward to using the Character Generation rules using Three Dragon Ante from Dragon some months ago in a campaign sometime soon.

You cannot expect a copy shop clerk, or even manager to interpret copyright law, period. You can expect a company who publishes a .pdf to correctly indicate how someone can use the material in the Copyright Notice. Only the courts can determine Fair Use.

And those rules would include written permission from the copyright holders to make reproductions of their material.

That is correct - they were made at the request of, and with masters provided by, professors.

Not only that, but for a business, some extra things come in to play. Things which may fall well within the limitations of "Fair Use" for an individual become something else entirely when produced by a company who makes money in the reproduction business.

They are selling a printed work which they have made. You are charged a sales tax on the copies.
