    Is it time to put the "A" back before D&D?

    If we're going to go down that dark path, let's also consider doing what WotC did with its Magic cards. They come in three levels: Basic, Intermediate, and Expert (or something like that). The three are fully compatible, but the Basic/Starter sets don't have the complicated rules that appear...

    Can't find a feat

    Yep, I think that just about covers it. Improved Sneak Attack from Traps & Treachery: roll d8s instead of d6s. Sacred Strike from the Book of Exalted Deeds: roll d8s instead of d6s against evil creatures. Deadly Precision from the Expanded Psionics Handbook: reroll 1s. Champions of Ruin feat...

    Flesh Golem Templates!!!! Post your own mad creations!!!!

    This is my favorite piece of your work, dante. I have to admit, though, I was suprised to see a CR based on the original creature's CR when so much of it is lost. I guess it should only be applied to bruisers, then. The adjustment also seems high, but that's for playtesting tp determine, I...

    10 Absolute Truths about the World of D&D

    If charlatans were common in the real world, why wouldn't they be in D&D?

    Using the standard D&D multiplication, it should add a factor of 9. If a god had Leadership (1), has ruled 1 layer for 40,000 years, and has Legendary Commander (x10), it would have a a total Leadership multiplier of 40,010. It's pretty weak if you're using the Divine Age multiplier.

    Same here. I almost answered Walker and Texas, since Google cut off the name in one of its snippets. :p

    10 Absolute Truths about the World of D&D

    1.) Concrete Alignment Since we're already comparing the real world to the D&D world, there's no reason to assume a priori that we don't have concrete alignment in the real world, just that we don't have magic to detect it. 2.) Magic is just a carrier I'm not sure what your point is here...

    Dos anyone here want to nominate Eternity Publishing on the 2006 ENnie Awards Fans' Choice Nominations Thread? 1. Two 'votes' are needed to be on the ballot, a nomination and second. 2. Eternity Publishing won't win, but it would be fun to see it on the list. This is, of course, seperate from...

    Ah, I see what you're getting at now. You thought there weren't enough followers with the Leadership rules, so you multiply appropriately. It's interesting that this will probably cause a dearth of middle-level people in the retinue: there will be many low-level followers, tapering off around...

    :confused: Does older mean more followers/subcohorts? Regardless of what "power level" of retinue you have for a particular deity, the rules for determining their levels still needs to be determined.

    A brief complaint about hypocrites

    You really shouldn't have posted this. Now you won't get to respond to my comments on your epic monsters thread.

    Ranger - likes and dislikes?

    Like: d8 HD (should be slightly less tough than fighters) Wide skill selection New 3.5 special abilities Dislike: Having 'only' two paths -- three to five would be better, especially if some had one special ability in place of a feat Favored enemy, though I'm not sure what to replace it with...

    Do you use Npc classes for your Npcs?

    Commoners are everywhere, but no one pays much attention to them. Experts are very common for PCs to deal with; just all of the PCs who have taken Leadership have bothered to stat up one or more expert followers, because they come into play. Examples include agents (to buy and sell for the...

    An Alternative to Prestige Classes

    I don't understand how this is fundamentally different from prestige classes -- how would this example be different from a PrC requiring X levels in fighter (along with whatever else it requires)?
