    Input on a New Spell System

    Okay, it seems that people are mis-understanding the system I'm proposing. I admit I didn't do a very good job explaining it. Instead of selecting a new palette of spells every day, you have the same palette each day. So you can cast magic missle multiple times per day if you put it on your...

    Input on a New Spell System

    I want to get rid of spell preparation. But for various reasons, I don't want to go to all spontaneous casters. I want to keep the "feel" of the prepared spell casters such as the wizard. And for me that "feel" is that they have many different spells available and mix it up encounter to...

    What have you done about Blasphemy, etc.

    We changed blasphemy from dazed to nauseated so you could at least crawl away. And we capped the spell at caster level 20 like other such spells. Still, next campaign I'm considering a Will save.

    Spell Mastery Variants That Do Not Suck

    I would go with Variant 1B SPELL MASTERY [SPECIAL] Prerequisite: Wizard level 1st. Benefit: Each time you take this feat, choose a number of spells equal to your Intelligence modifier that you already know. From that point on, you can prepare these spells without referring to a spellbook. In...

    Help Me Build a Wilder

    Hey, thanks for all the help. I finally got Complete Psionic, and found a prestige class that I like: Anarchic Initiate. But the class requires 8 ranks in Knowledge (the Planes) which is not a class skill for Wilders, so even though the class requires a Wilder Class ability (wild surge), you...

    How would you fix the bodak/save-or-die

    Two other options: Gaze attack causes negative levels, or gaze attack causes negative energy damage (like inflict critical wounds).

    The Great EN World News Poll: Part 2 (d20 News/PDFs)

    This is a confusing poll: I almost hit the wrong response. Answer Yes if you do not like PDF news, and No if you do. I'm not sure how valid the responses are going to be.

    4th ed -- yeah, but are you actually ready to leave behind the 3rd?

    I avoid 4E threads, but if it were to come out, I would most likely pick it up and use it for my next campaign.

    [D&D Design Discussion] Preserving the "Sweet Spot"

    Excellent idea. That (level+3) cap thing has always bothered me as ineligant. I thought the reason was so at first level those with a class skill maxed get +4 and those with with the crossclass skill maxed get +2. That is pretty eligant, but I'm williing to sacrifice it for a flat -2 if you...

    [D&D Design Discussion] Preserving the "Sweet Spot"

    Sorry I got cut off yesterday, I was typing a post and had to go, so I just hit send. I disagree. I think the fact that at 10th level you are healing for 4d8+10 and at 11th level you are healing for 110 is a big, unnecessary jump. You can look at it either at the 10th level number is too...

    [D&D Design Discussion] Preserving the "Sweet Spot"

    The granularity of the spell system has always bothered me. Without getting into the "low magic/high magic" discussion, look at the cure line of spells and the transporation line of spells by the best spell a caster of each level can cast: 1st - Cure Light Wounds (d8+1) 2nd - Cure Light Wounds...

    Old Dungeon/Dragon Magazines

    I have compiled quite a heap of Dungeon/Dragon magazines dating back to the 1980s. I'm also moving and realized I can't move them again. Are they worth anything? Should I try to ebay/craigslist them? I'm kind of pressed for time, so getting rid of them in bulk works better for me than...

    Total Freeform Character Generation

    Has anyone tried freeform character generation where the player assigns the stats he thinks are appropriate for his character? How about freeform character generation where the player can pick her level as well? How about total freeform character gen where the player can just write down...

    Large creatures and jumping.

    I can see the DM's reasoning here. How would it work if you and the horse had to teleport through a 20' thick wall. Would you say that was 20' or 25'?

    Myers-Briggs and Gamers

    iNTj that used to be iNTp on the test. The j/p axis was quite weak. My understanding is that for certain types, some axes are very strong and some weak. In my case, the NT is very strong, this is true for most NT types. and thus written as iNTj or iNTp.

    Merry Christmas, one and all!

    I survived part one of my three part Christmas that dovetails nicely into the eight part Chanukah. In any case, Merry Christmas and Happy Chanukah, Kwansa, Festivus, Solstice, Winterval, and New Year as well.
