What surprises me is that people are more offended by the language than the blatant use of graphic violence. I mean using the f-word is worse and more shocking than supposed heroes hacking of peoples arms, repeatedly stabbing people with 10 inch blades or dissolving their boyfriends? Personally...

Perhaps a little overwhelming, but this thread on wotc's boards gives a pretty thorough breakdown of the pactbinder. It has a good list reviewing vestige abilities, grouping them by level or by type of abilities. It also discusses feats (and pretty much everything else pertaining to binders)...

This could actually be a very cool rpg. A planar-hopping WFRP/ravenloft. Not a bad idea imo. But now i think about it it sounds more or less exactly as normal ravenloft...

I'd think about doing a small generic setting (maps, short description of major nations, a timeline and a brief history) and stick it in the srd. Simple and vanilla, but large enough to potentially have a place for everything d20 related. The maps could also be made to only cover a smaller part...

or just check out the d20 npc wiki. CR things from 0-641+ okay, to be fair, most npc's are statted at the 0-20 range. As a wiki, statblocks are probably not perfect and vary in quality, but alot is as good as any published stuff tends to be. I haven't used it myself, only browsed it a little...

The powergap between highly optimized characters (ala CO board builds) and, well, non-optimized characters make pricing of magic items an artform and kinda subjective. A 3000 gp touchattack item, to one character may be a bargain, a steal or possibly beyound omg broken, while the same item to...

This is probably taking it to far, making it a near musthave multiclass one level dipper class. a fighter would nearly always take this as his level 1 class. a rogue might. a cleric, maybe. a wizard, maybe not, except the bonus to saves, 8 extra hp and a ton of skillpoints would be tempting. As...

The Midnight campaign setting sounds as if it could be what you're after. It is a little dystopic and bleak in theme (think middle earth if sauron had won), but has an inquisition type setup where magic is banned and wizards/sorcerors are prosecuted. Midnight is very cool, but also very dark...

I´m curious to hear from the people that voted for oozes, vermin and animals. Personally i think i would find it a little anoying if the bbeg of the otherwise serious campaign, turned out to be a rabid badger with a grudge agaisnt humanity or an ochre jelly frenzied berserker. IMO a succesful...

I think i'll have to disagree slightly on this one:) Well depends on your definition of perfection i guess. I like d20 (dnd3.x and all its spinnoffs such as mutants and masterminds, d20 modern etc.), but have no illusions about it being close to perfect. Or why the heck do we see discussions...

My main gripe w. prestige classes is that the often hefty requirements to qualify for them, necesitates planning 5-10 levels ahead, choosing a mix of classes, feats, skills etc. While i can see that prc are meant to be tighter in focus than base classes, an unfortunate effect is the...

This also has some likeness to the plot in HG wells "the timemachine" (i think?). wo a timemachine ofcourse... What are you going to do w. the humans and the outsiders?

I think this scheme is slightly different for spellcasters or fightertypes. I'd say the 1-5, 6-10, 11-15 and 16+ fits rather well for fighters (types with full bab progression), but spellcasters usually get a major powerup a level earlier. perhaps for casters, it should look more like this 1-4...

I think i saw an add somewhere for some voice software that translated text to an angelic chorus. Has anyone heard of such a thing? I know. very corny, but could be fun messing around with...

A cool concept, but not really dnd anymore then (then again... what is?). One base class: At each level up, choose or buy "class" features, such as HD, BAB, feats, spellcasting progression, skillpoints etc. Prestige class features are just more restrictive in their requirements than other...

Schrödingers halfling.

Would it disrupt anything if the cost for identifying was removed? IMX it is just an anoyance, and waste of time tracking down someone selling 100 gp pearls.

"hong kong action movie theatre" (i think it´s called), is supposed to emulate the action from HK films (john woo etc), in a simple and cinematic way. Add a dash of pulp, a pinch of mysticism, a handfull of drama, and a british accent. and voila. youve got a good tombraideresque game going.

Is this turning into an argument about the realism in being attacked by 20 foot, multiple thousand pound crocodiles? Well, it's not terribly realistic, but i guess i've seen worse offences in rpg's:)

i've only read drow war: part 1. It ends kinda abruptly, but satisfying enough i guess and suitably epic. Actually i think the ending could be expanded alot if the dm is willing to do the work. There isn't really a need to continue the campaign after lvl.10, but there are ofcourse some...
