When I used 'different', it opened up some sticky situations, but overall was nice for flavor. It happened to align itself quite well with a division that existed in that campaign, which served my purposes nicely. I am removing the sorcerer from my campaign and the psion fits that roll nicely...

SylverFlame: Cool, thank you! :D Psionics is similar to standard magic, although dispel/counter/etc efforts suffer a –4 to roll. I went w/ system is different in a prior campaign, so I’m trying out a different style this time. The biggest difference, besides counter/dispel/identify effects...

More of the 'rules'. After this, I'll post the alternate casting rules for spells (spells require a roll to cast, with chance of damage for some casters) MAGICS NATURE AND USE What the source of magic is: Stellar lines on force pierce the mortal realm, but just as radio waves are not noticed...

ciaran00: THE LOW COURT: also called the commons, has 104 seats determined by district and filled by vote every 4-6 years (determined by district). This is flavor text - no more or less compelling then telling the players expresso and imported tea are all the rage in X city. The info is...

Good points. Hmmm. Well, I could box in the bonus skill range, but even better would be to replace it with specific abilities (+5-10% chance to stabalize, 1 'ghost point' of CON - so the 1st point of CON drained a day has no effect...). As to the skill bonuses being nailed down, I tried to...

SylverFlame: Ah - I see what you mean. 1) That should have been removed from the text (not a good fantasy flavor referencing a modern facet or view). 2) I didn't mean 'racial' French or European, but rather some of its social and structural mores; a strong art movement, tall buildings in narrow...

Uh - as far as I knew, I made up these folks! Did I use a name that matches a culture or subgroup in the real world, or is it the description of a group? Any overlap is not intended (Firk-Ding-Blast it!! Doh! S&%t - I want my lawyer/my mother/help/guardian angel/guardian demon/yikes) and I'll...

Well, this is the tentative list & mods, not counting the feats each will have (1-2 feats for each sign). Seem ok, too similar, boring, too (descriptive)? Shove it in my face (I rarely bite) and would love the feedback! :D SNAKE.......adaptable, greedy, jealous TORTOISE..friendly, grounded...

Well, currently I'm just disgorging data on this posting, so I'll continue (its cathartic! ;) !) This is the write up for the main culture I'm starting with, though it still needs a lot of work - ASTORIA[CENTER] ASTORIAN CULTURE: At the edge of a renaissance, old traditions still cling and...

Elf pudding Hrmm. Women are needed to 're-grow' the race, not men. Women may lose the right to chose their profession (no job that risks life) - becoming a totalitarian society. Males (the 'excess') could be sent to the lands of man to breed 1/2 elves - not true elves, not as long lived, but...

1st There is no astral plane – the closest equivalent would be to send yourself through the stellar lens, the same way a dead persons spiritual remains travel. You could just send a projection (spirit) – not really you, sort of an imprint of you. Its actions would gain you nothing – and you...

Uh - Damn!! :eek: The stars in my game are points of focus, the paths of energy. The moons are diffractions of the stellar lens and gate openings into limb/purgatory - the sorting warehouse for incoming souls. I'd love to see your spreadsheet - how many planets do you track? Do you track the...

Hello Frank! Long time no read :) 1st off - yep, I should increase it to +2 vs opposite sex 2nd - re-rolled save is pretty good, perhaps a +1 or +2 save? Hmmm 3rd - the skill option definatly works, but I was afraid it would be too bland. I've also been toying with mild penalties for signs...

I am hoping to abuse the local users and mine their brains for ideas for me (bwahaha..ha..oh, am I using my outside voice again?). :p My new game is going to include astrological signs for everyone born on the mortal world, with 14 astrological signs used in my game. What I need (besides...

However, what is to keep demons and angels from taking over chunks of the mortal's plane and using it as kingdoms and battle fields? Are they trapped at home and need someone to invite them in? Or do they fear retribution from higher up in the bureaucracy? Trapped between Elysium and...

Cool!! :D Here's a bit of the flavor text for the campaign - THE NATURE OF THE WORLD The world is young, covered in water and dotted with islands pulled from the depths. The people have wandered the world for 600 years, the first created days after the sun first rode across the sky...

I'm just checking with all you DM's out there to see if I'm going overboard in world design, or if most do this much or more for their homebrew worlds. astrological signs & effects on people born at that time defining nature of soul, spirit, mind, and body - and the effects of absense of any...

Uh, I think you pointed out why he believes its balanced (if you try to 'trick the system' by buying both options, the total effect is nil). Gain 1 feat in exchange for 1 hp less per level. Done. You could do the same with class creation (make a variant fighter, lower the hd to add a 'few...

I like this much more - though it looks like 1st & 2nd do the same dmg and have the same duration until you reach 11th level - is the 2nd lv 1 r/lv instead of 1/2 lv?
