Hello. :) I am currently developping some exotic cultures for a campaign of mine and I'm at a lost. I want those cultures to have interesting customs, mainly with two effects in mind : 1) To underscore the fact that these are alien cultures (as in "weird and exotic", not in the "space alien"...

This is what happens when you create rpg rules and use the average healthy, active human as the bottom of your hit points ladder. :D

I don't see why it is so important that all deaths be final. I mean, sure, it is in real life, but why does that mean that it has to be in a fantasy campaign with teleportation, people flying around and so on ? If raise dead really offends someone's narrative sensibilities, would it not be...

Also, levels (and thus, hit points) and magical equipment will make any adventurer walk among mortals as a demigod anyway.

Personally, I would have just assumed that immobile ambushing adventurers wouldn't make a sound and just gone with spot checks instead. *shrug* Or possibly a listen check vs a high static DC. The move silently skill should be only used when moving, IMO. Also, some DMs make it way too hard for...

I wouldn't use the x2 multiplier for an ioun stone because while they are slotless, they are easier to destroy. Yes, I know that a +2 strength ioun stone costs twice as much as a pair of gauntlets of ogre power. Since magical items are often priced using the square of their rating, a scalable...

That works. Actually, it's great for maximizing your item slots usage.

You also have to carry a bag of holding in your hands. A haversack is so much more... handy. I've always kept the mea rule about these. My rationale is this : The sack doesn't accelerate the movement of your hand, it just makes what you are looking for be at the top of the bag. It takes a...

Nah, it doesn't use sunder rules.

Re: Re: Re: Re: re Obviously, rolling a 20 means you have given it your best shot. It's exactly what the dice roll is there for. Or, another way to look at it is that you have a better chance of finding something if you search for 2 minutes than if you search for 6 seconds. However, I don't...

At 13th level (5 PCs party), we managed to go toe to toe with a colossal scorpion just fine. Actually, it was a giant crawfish that the DM used the colossal scorpion stats for, minus the stinger. So, that made the encounter easier but we were all immune to poison (as every party should be...

I did this once. Of course, my deity was Red Knight, a newly ascended demigoddess worshipped in one region of one world (Forgotten Realms). She probably had something like 3-5 clerics capable of plane travel max. It was part of my character's atoning for a serious misdeed and becoming a...

I know that, technically, the armor spikes won't damage the wearer of the suit, but personally, I would make one of the two resistances fire resistance. :)

But does it say how you can "magically treat" materials ? I hate it when games do that.

But Dark Conspiracy definitely uses the Twilight 2000 2nd edition rules, though. The 1st edition boxed-set rules have % skills while the 2nd edition has 1-10 skills and attributes. Also, I think the 2nd edition could come in a deluxe collector boxed set, which complicates matters. I hated 2nd...

Re: 9th level! Right, as far as I can tell, the absolute earliest a pure sorcerer could take the class would be after sor9. Or you could do it after sor6/bard1, if you wanted to. This would let you up your diplomacy quickly AND provide the whip proficiency for free. BTW, the dude who...

Well, it does require three pretty subpar feats for a sorcerer : Exotic weapon : Whip, Dodge and Mobility. Also, it requires 6 ranks in a cross-class skill, so you couldn't take it until 9th level. That makes it far from overpowered, IMO.

Not necessarily because then it's only a better version of scribe scroll : 1) A wand with 1 charge costs less than a corresponding scroll. 2) Spell trigger items are cooler than spell completion items. Easier to use, for one.

We can at least agree about that.

Actually, 18k gp is 20% of a 12th level character's wealth so it is far from negligible. Also, 50 arrows is far from enough to last a whole day's adventuring considering high rate of fire. This archer would probably go through 2-3 GMW's worth of arrows each day.
