    Armor Enchantments

    I allow that kind of thing to happen all the time. The trick is being able to find someone who has the ability to do it all. Baring the characters with the needed feats of course. BTW I rule that if you are going to add say the properties of a ring of protection to the armor in question. The...

    Should undead be allowed to speak?

    If the undead in question has an Intelligence above 3 then I grant them the ability to speak. So regular zombies can not speak, but a Greater Zombie (from 2nd edition) would be able to. As for the maigc item you made. Why not talk with the DM and see if they can change it to a symatic function...

    Tomb of Horrors

    I also have been reading the revised ToH (I also ran the original several times). In the new version there is nothing in there that a well balanced party of 9th level characters should have a major problem with. Just make sure the Rogue has a very good search and disable device. Though I do...

    The Problem With Spot and Listen

    I have always though that all perception based skills (spot, search, listen, scent, etc) should be based off a new stat. Then any skill points a character spends on a specific skill would generate a modifier. The only major problem with this, is that most people I have talked with about it. Say...

    I hate Christmas

    I grew-up in a household where underwear, coats, mittens, etc were the christmas gifts. Let me tell you now that I am an adult. Getting kids that kind of stuff (things that should be gotten all year long, just as food on the table and schooling) is worse on them, then being truthful and telling...

    I hate Christmas

    Getting a gift you don't want/will ever use vs getting nothing. I vote for getting nothing. I have to agree when a family does a list for christmas, then people should buy off the list. After growing up in a very poor household, you kinda expect christmass (heck most holidays) to be nothing...

    Becoming an overdeity

    The only way to become an Overdiety I can think of. Would be to create your own universe. Then accend all the other dieties.

    What does 'epic' mean to you?

    Epic is very dependent on the context it is used in. An epic adventure can be 1st level, if it is a world altering event. At the same time, epic is also done in reference to anyone who has gone above and beyond normal means (ie above level 20 in most campaigns).

    Balancing fast healing

    Personaly I treat each point of Fast Healing as a +1 LA, so if someone wanted to create a race with Fast Heal 5. A first level mage/sorceror with an 18 con would still only have 8 hp, but would have to join a party and fight CR 6 monsters. One average to good hit from the monsters and the...

    Help me reward magical equipment to a cleric PC

    You could also give her a custom item that gives her a +1 or +2 caster level bonus when casting Healing spells.

    Any good action/adventure cartoons?

    Since someone brought up Robotech, let us not forget Starblazers. Now there was an epic story line and ship. Was the first ship weapon I can remember that had the ability to destroy a planet in one shot.

    I also love Ruen Quest as both a setting and for the game mechanics. Nothing says watch-out quite like when your playing a Centaur and some smuck gets a good hit on one of your legs. Hence making your a three legged Centaur. hehehe

    Dannyalcatraz forgot to mention one major diffrence between a Heroic setting and a Super Heroic one. That is how "normal" equiptment is delt with. In a Heroic setting, you can go out and buy things, even magic items. While in a Super Heroic setting, you have to spend your points on everything...

    Yes they do, though I don't recall exactly how right now. As for what is their typical range. That depends on the setting. If you (or the setting) has the Disadvantacge of Nornal Human Maxium, then they range from 1-20. Though in a Super Hero setting and many Heroic settings. There is no real...

    Skill checks start at a base dificulity of 11+ (you roll 3d6 + your levels in the skill), which is them modified by the situation. A natural roll of 18 is always a success, while a natural 3 is always a failure. Combat runs the same, but you get to add your OCV (offensice combat value) while...

    Please explain Other Gaming Systems

    Lets start with a system that is very diffrent from D20, Hero System aka Champions. This is a point based system. Which means you spend your experiance points to do character improvements. You start off with a base amount of points (in a Heroic setting like most DnD games, you get 75, if you...
