I've been toying around with dropping the wealth system into my fantasy campaign for awhile, but there's been one major stumbling block: no easy way to convert GP Costs to Purchase DCs. Has someone already done this? If not, would folk be interested in doing it here?

That's exactly what a lot of folk missed about Andromeda. They presumed they knew what happened, when they really didn't. Just like some folk get all wound up about the time-travel line in Enterprise, even though it's as crucial to the show as the wormwhole in DS9 or Voyager being on the other...

Ah, sorry. Do you mean the FRCS shade, or do you have a different reference? (The answer in FR is simple: "you don't want to be cooped up in the shadow world.") Line-of-effect? Even with not needing a dead body nearby, it's quite reasonable to rule that a phylactery needs to have...

1: Because you like who you are, and don't want to forget it. 2: 'cause having the choice between constructs and undead, you'd rather be able to heal. Not to mention the whole "I can go get another body" trick. 3: Because you don't want to have to muddle around with (or harm) lesser...

That's not stupidity, that's morality. It's also consistency of character. Methinks you just don't like heroic fantasy. Heroism is, in modern form, being shown two opposite choices and choosing a third. The Spider Man movie's "save the girl and the busload of kids" captures it perfectly.

You're thinking of the d20 Exchange Mike Cortez, one of my fellows in the FGA, tried getting the d20 Exchange up and running awhile back. He's currently looking to divest himself of the domain name to someone who would like it and isn't a click-generating scam. If someone has resources--time...

The answer Can psychics see the future? No. They MAY be able to predict the future, in a relatively uncontrolled and not terribly useful manner, but that's pretty much the limit of precognition. Unless, of course, you believe that every successful person is a psychic, or that there's some...

Refocus was tossed in 3.5. You can get the same effect just by delaying.

To bring some contrast--do you have an example of a fantasy author that writes BETTER females than Jordan? The classics of fantasy have them as, well, "rarer than dragons", the D&D classics have them as either totally inconsistent or illogical, and the modern fantasy books I've read portray...

I'd say, "yes" to using status to monitor the child's health, but only after the first month. During pregnancy, any crtical hit or reduction of more than 50% of the mother's HP would result in a chance for a miscarriage -- I'd say make it a DC 20 fortitude save, made by the mother. As for stat...

Or to put it another way: "it's not keeping to genre or especially in-character." IMC I've got a solution to this and i've never even had the problem come up. My current game is still too low-level to for the PCs to have used the solution, but I think it'll work very well. The short form...

4th edition -- assuming that they do make one before 2010 -- probably won't be a real drastic change. 3rd changed a lot, but no other version change has been nearly as dramatic. (For instance, I ran OD&D modules in AD&D 2nd without a hitch.) D&D 4th will be similar to Call of Cthulu, Wheel...

That's because the Drow is only CR 3 -- with poison. A human fighter 4 and a drow fighter 2 would, in the course of a typical adventure, do about as much. And if that drow got some other drow followers--well, an 8th level drow cleric leading ten 1st level drow fighters would destroy a 10th...

Since there's a small slew of "talent seeking job" posts lately, I might as well flag this one out. I have two-four Open Gaming projects that I need additional help with. Or to say it in another way, there are four cap-systems that need fleshing out, which can combine to between two and four...

Most mythological polytheistic deities aren't described as having "unlimited" power. Just power far beyond mere mortals. The concept of "all-powerful gods" is an odd modern cross-pollination of judeo-christianity with are non-believed mythology.

It's accurate according to one reading of the New Testament. This website goes into more detail than I will here. From a purely historic note, it's important to remember that the New Testament was formalized by Romans, and it may have been worded in such a way as to paint them in the most...

There is (at least in the previews) a major change to the basic resolution that moves it from dice-chucking to "role-playing game with minimal rules." Instead of a combat action taking three to four seperate rolls, they now only take one. It's possible to be "so good that you can't be touched"...

My list: WEG's new d6 system. Star Wars d6 is a family favorite, but 2e was a bomb and I'd like to see what they fixed and how well it runs. WW's "Storytelling" system -> the new one. They made some fundamental changes to Storyteller, and I'd love to see if it makes the game less...
