That perhaps is one of the reasons I'm somewhat dreading UA. It has the strong potential of coming off as the Player's Options books in 2e. Being much more accepted means that others have to deal with it being more likly assumed that said rules will be accepted :(.

The ectoplasm references may be construed as a 'goth' type aspect, although that's more of a 19th century thing. Ah I see, the Psychic Warrior being more akin to the early 20th century style? Hmm, new use of goth to me (personally, may just be me goofy). Anyway topicality. I was excited about...

Hard to say, it seems like at a glance, that instead of being Wizard clones with MAD spell selection, Psions will be cleric clones with Domain like disciplines... A core set of discplines may be good, but at the same may be creating a troubling situation (ie, cleric templates) and a genericism...

And ECL was a big departure from that belief (Character Level ~= CR, CR != ECL). For Monster PCs, they get '21st' sooner than Monsters that aren't PCs. ECL isn't really a good point to consider, since ECL is defined rather than extrapolated, and becomes troublesome if you advance creatures by...

The old segment (Monsters as Epic Characters) is specifically in reference to Monsterous PCs... Read it as if you're using a monsterous pc (Say, a Drow), they can qualify for epic feats when they're a 19th level somethign or other (ECL 21), instead of having to wait for 21st level something or...

Actually that's part of it, the sorcerer will never be able to use epic seeds (the Epic Spellcasting feat) in my game, the wizard may be able at a later point. This is actually it. And it isn't quite frozen for all classes. Wizards still gain 2 free spells per level. Fighters gain their...

Well right now, my campaign is approaching epic levels, and I'm contemplating an issue one of my players brought up. Namely, sorcerer spell access being kinda weak post 20. I've already decided that sorcerers will not be able to learn/make use of Spell Seeds. Party comp is Fighter, Sorcerer...

Only Golems typically had (Ex) Damage Reduction. That problem would appear to only really turn up with Colossus (Epic Golems) if the conversion changed their DR to epic instead of adamantine. [ Edit : Typo fix to appease Hypersmurf :P ]

Well, part of the problem there is that usually the magical help comes in the form of (Su) abilities (and not equipment or spell-likes). And a strong argument can be made that the (Su) is just part of their natural statistics. Then there's also that a number of monsters have feats that they...

Of course, said Kraken uses Great Cleave too... But I'm not that evil (the 'Bucket of Slugs' / 'Ocean of Fish' cheese), unless my players start doing that. ;) My situation is 3e, but for the most part, the rules used in 3.5 apply equally as well. I was just being redundant in case my...

Human-esque characters are necessary. Whether they are named human, terran, tau'ri, trade guildsmen, whatever, they need to be around.

Okie, I asked this (along with some plot brooding ideas) on general and didn't get much of an answer to it specifically, so I thought to ask here :). Semi-apologies for the multipost. Anycase, I have a coming situation that more or less sums up to an advanced Kraken having Whirlwind Attack...

Random encounters during their 'rest' period messes with that. Run a vengenance session, where the party is unable to sleep due to a semi-constant rate of attack. After say 4 to 8 days out of town, have one of the enemies cast a mass curse water on their water stock or other spells to...

Far Realm Megamodule. :P Return to Undermountain? Sigh, I can hope on fun megamodules I'd like can't I? Even if Andy doesn't do modules :P. New printing/revision of the 3.5 PHB? :) [silly joke :P]

Well, those analogies don't work so well. Because in this instance, it's more akin to a local calling the sheriff with help with a mugging and being told that the sheriff is 'busy' at the moment. Or calling your teacher/mentor/professor for help with your homework. And as has already been...

Not to my knowledge. Luckily I'm using the 3.0 ruleset, but I will most likly just trade the feats out when I go 3.5 with this campaign. I'm leaning towards the Spherical Whirlwind really, but will be nice and not allow the ultra cheesy Great Cleave with the ambient wildlife in the vacinty...

Wheel of Time may be what you're looking for, but hard to say. The magic system is a bit ... prevalent, but the classes aren't dependant on magical assistance to perform. It's also quite easy to run without magic at all.

More or less you said it yourself. They're in charge of the respective areas and the temple/monastery. For the same reason that a manager doesn't do all the work himself, or if you need a 'happier' metaphor, it's better to know how to fish, than to have fish given to you. Part of those NPCs...

Hmm, somewhat curious then, if you should allow players to take feats that they only qualify for because of magical items they have. Oddly enough, I had thought that this was addressed in the FAQ (3.0), but seems to have poofed (either due to edit or my memory failure), although it may have...

Hmm, outside the ELH and the other handfuls, you'll be hard pressed for non-unique critters to face against. One suggestion though, is use the Unique critters as non-unique critters (After all not too much difference from Zaphkiel and a special spiffy solar or whatnot). The more 'generic'...
