    D&D stats for Shrek

    There were tabaxi, in Fiend Folio. Of course, that's if you picture Puss as being Tigra from the Avengers. :\

    Where (In what) do you store your dice?

    I use two dice bags. One is a velvet bag from a bottle of Crown Royal. The other is made from a kangaroo's, er, well... anyway, it's for Deadlands, and it seemed appropriate.

    Thoughts about d20 Past

    A whole 21 pounds? What were they, a brain in a jar? ;) And just to demosntrate how goofy Imperial measurements are, 1 1/2 stone is nearly a tod, but only if you're made of wool. But not on Tuesdays. Then its a double fizbin.

    What are the wierdest things you've learned gaming?

    Yep --- cadavers donated for scientific purposes sometimes get put through their paces. I have friends who have studied decomposition time by burying bodies in different conditions. Frequently pigs are used as a substitute. The other other white meat.

    d20 backlash??

    Ditto here. That being said, when we play BRP (Elric, CoC) we expect high character mortality and in a sense we delight in it. Very different from D20 play which is designed around character balance and high survivorship. For that reason, we prefer BRP as the Cthulhu vehicle of choice ---...

    What inspired the D&D magic rules and do you like it?

    Anybody had a chance to use the magic system from Black Company yet?

    What inspired the D&D magic rules and do you like it?

    I'm personally a fan of the magic system from Ars Magica --- it can cause fatigue and injury, but you can cast it all day long if you're skilled or lucky. The down side of it is that you have very few defined spells, and the rest is whipped up on the fly. That requires a bit of sober judgement...

    Describe your homebrew in one sentence.

    The Chain: The characters are the last survivors of countless worlds (including our own), pressed into a chain-gang by intelligent worms that destroy worlds in the process of gaining slave labour, forced to 'tunnel' through a possibly-endless void. Sounds weird, but it has psionic worms...

    Cleric nerf feedback.

    In response to IndyPendant's original post... I have no real problem with the first two suggestions (re: armour proficiency & domain access). I'd leave the definition of spellcaster level as it is, mostly because PrCs often include some degree of spell progression. In our campaigns, the cleric...

    Cleric nerf feedback.

    Dark Sun did things like that. Druids & Templars had broader spell-lists but were harder to qualify for (i.e., required minimum ability scores). A bit harder to do in 3.5, but possible. Construct a 'universal' domain that all clerics gain access to. The cleric gains 1 of their god's domains at...

    Anyone else find it annoying to figure out skills for NPCs?

    I just determine their max ranks in Spot/Listen/Sense Motive and top 'em up. Most NPCs just exist to notice the PCs doing something illicit or embarassing anyway... ;)
