Good luck, Its cathartic to make good central clear organizing principles. The devil is in the details however in how you cling to those principles and create something your players like. :)

Longspear http://www.d20srd.org/srd/equipment/weapons.htm A longspear has reach. You can strike opponents 10 feet away with it, but you can’t use it against an adjacent foe. If you use a ready action to set a longspear against a charge, you deal double damage on a successful hit against a...

Readied weapons: You have 3 choices: 1) All weapons can be readied against a charge, in which case I don't know why players would ever not ready things against charge(s). Right down to carried treasure, when leaving the dungeon with that oak chest I make sure to ready it against possible...

Well if we have Roger's Blessing I'm glad you found the thread. Thanks Roger! How about this then as the first level spell: Evocation [Electricity] Level: Sor/Wiz 1 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels) Effect: Ray Duration: Instantaneous...

You are a sneaky man! But I like it. The reason I want to keep it 1st level is for wands :)

SRD 2nd level psion for reference http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/SRD:Energy_Stun This is 2nd level. Psychokinesis [see text] Level: Psion/Wilder 2 Display: Auditory Manifesting Time: 1 standard action Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels) Area: 5-ft.-radius burst Duration: Instantaneous...

I really appreciate all the consideration you guys have given it. How is this? I moved the original damage into the critical affect. Evocation [Electricity] Level: Sor/Wiz 1 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels) Effect: Ray Duration...

My DM increased the stun when he moved it to 2nd level. What about making it 1d4 + 1/2 the difference between caster\target levels? So a 5th level wizard strikes a 1st level mook it's 1d4 +2. A 1st level wizard strikes a 5th level mook its 1d4 -2. Perhaps a minimum of 1 rnd stun on a failed...

On thoughts and consideration with my DM it became a 2nd level spell. He added 1/2 caster level to the stun duration. General agreement? Sigurd

I really like the nonlethal damage option. The spell is not going to be a bad ass killer. I'm thinking it would be very affective in a low to almost non combat situation. Sort of like a taser for capturing rather than killing. If you're chasing someone you want to question its really bad form...

Presumably as a ray spell its only one target. Maybe I'm assuming to much though. You'd have a HD limit even with one target? A "Mind affecting" tag would lump it with spells creatures have immunities to but would that be right if its really 'nervous system' affecting. Its an evocation not an...

This spell is from an ezine called "current events" at http://roger.carbol.com/rpg/K_CE/K_CE.htm the spell was marked as Open Game Content. My question is it too powerful for 1st Level. Ray of Incapacitation OGC Current Events #8 Evocation [Electricity] Level: Sor/Wiz 1 Components: V, S, M...

/rant :) I really like harnmanor - Good Job!

Gold to silver ratios With due respect, I think all these ratios are bollocks. Most every trade throughout the middle ages was done in _Trade_ not coin. Depending on taxes, conquest, minting and mining, silver and gold changed in value tremendously. Taxes or trade might be assessed as 5 pennies...

Its likely they've had trouble with or disabled their storefront at that address. My understanding is that they are the primary backers for "https://www.yourgamesnow.com" so I don't think they've really gone anywhere. Sigurd

You can't fix D&D economics. The world has arbitrary "big rock candy mountain" magic with no real costs to world resources and no way of reasoning supply and demand. The best solution is to be just as arbitrary: The DM says we make %20 on our investment if he thinks we were smart and we roll...

Thanks Three_Haligonians, I like that a lot! You understand the problem. She's pretty formidable but she shouldn't have great stats to get great magic spells and she's not destined to leave the relative safety of her swamp. She's a medium fish in a small pond. Your solution fits perfectly. If...

She's an NPC so I could hand wave something, demon pact or whatever, but I'd like to find something RAW so that I can set her on a goal the PC's will understand. Ideally they may be able to compete with her or learn about the rules from it. Some sort of divine thing might be possible. She...

I have an NPC that looks like a giant rat with hands. The biggest threat to her peace of mind is age - her expected lifespan is 40yrs and she's half way through it. What would be the smart way for her to get extra years ruling her swamp. She doesn't have the time or ability to reach lichdom in...

Its also entirely possible that in a brothel he learned about more than sex. Cooking, business, medicine, drinking.... He might have learned anything at the knee of an ancient vampire.... The vampire madame likely received briefings about powerful patrons on a regular basis. If he's resourceful...
