Excellent idea, Crothian. Do so. Definitely. Now. ;) Seriously: I've nothing to add to what Whizbang posted earlier.

I let my players come up with their own motivations for "being where the action is" ;). Like Turanil's group, they will only discuss them in character and only insofar as that makes sense. Closemouthed characters may end up not having told their whole story until the campaign is over, while...

Other: Shemmy! You really should listen to the sample he posted in his SH :D.

I *think* there was something along these lines in "From Stone to Steel". It even had a charioteer PrC.

This is great, thanks :).

Must ... tweak ... more ...

It is one of the bases my new homebrew's gonna be built on - it's gonna be a post-cataclysmic era with the Scaled Ones being the Lords (and Ladies ;)) over man- and elvenkind. I'm really looking forward as to how this plays out.

My players advance at the speed of plot. That is, they gain set amounts of XP when they "accomplish" something, pertaining to an individual's goals or the group's as a whole, be it killing an enemy, opening a door, solving a riddle, surviving a visit to a particularly dangerous place, making...

Go and read the planewalker.com version of that particular incident - it's in chapter 6. It's much better in terms of respecting said settings than (insert curse here) DVD.

This is something I'm planning on doing for my next homebrew setting. The premise is, basically, that there was a terrible loss of magic and cultural achievements, both of which the people try to make up by inventing technological devices. Steamtech takes the place of magic, which is few and far...

Please. Don't use that word. It doesn't exist. Thanks. Move along :). Regarding the topic: I wouldn't say that there is a single feat which can be considered the most useful one for 1st lvl characters - it all depends on the "build", so to speak. There are regional feats in the FR sourcebooks...

Hey Li :), I should have stated it more clearly ;). There won't be +4 items either. To elaborate: I'm currently DM'ing a planescape campaign. PC stats were rolled, and rolled quite high - the characters are definitely stronger than they should be on average for their level. Adding in the fact...

The first three. There will never, ever be +5 items in any of my games. As for the method of acquiring said full plate: normal: can be bought in select armorer's shops mwk: commissioned work mithral: only as a quest reward or something similar.

You'd best take your players aside for a second and have a talk. Do you run a campaign that is deviating from the D&D norm in a way that - Monsters are weaker/stronger than standard - Challenges are meant to be greater and more difficult to overcome - it is a low-magic setting ? If yes: Do...

Well, hard to answer, that one. Magic would be tipping the scales in either side's favor: the one that has got more (and powerful) casters can make up many other deficits, i.e. less regular troops, terrain disadvantages, no cover ... If both sides were equally matched, I think it wouldn't...

If you're looking for a new T&B, that is "just a classbook, updated for 3.5", you'll be fine with CArc. If you're looking for new ideas and takes on magic ... better spend your money elsewhere :).

... of doom!

Other: The Yugoloths, plain and simple, because every single other organisation pales in comparison to their deviousness and the depths of their schemes. The Doomguard, BTW, should not be listed as a villainous organisation (because, per se, they aren't - even their goal, entropy, is just...

Seconded :).

Great work, that! *raises "What shilsen said" flag* I honestly don't know how my players would have reacted to that kind of situation ... hmm ... maybe, one day I should ... :D Somehow I seem to have missed installment #3 ... can't find it on the PW boards.
