Has anyone noticed the rules for building a stronghold seem off? Specifically, the rules state that for every day you take off, 3 days are added to the total building time, apparently to represent the idea that work progresses much slower when the player isn't present. However, if one examines...

Sorry if this has been said already, I haven't caught the whole thread yet. I think for the most part, only psion is iconic enough to be it's own class. 5e so far seems less inclined to multiply classes, and psionic warrior can probably be a subclass of fighter. Soulknife can probably be a...

The Stronghold builder's Guide is 3.0, but requires very little to convert to 3.5. Player's Handbook II has rules for organizations, though I can't really say I think they are playable (the actions that organizations can take are not well balanced and are extremely arbitrary. You can be a...

Hi all, Does anyone remember the old ultimate dungeon delve modules from Gen Con? I really enjoyed playing those and I'd really love to have my home group build a team of characters and play through them. Does anyone know if there's any way to get a copy of them?

It seems like the creators tried to stop the various tool proficiencies from overlapping with skills, but one area where a redundancy does exist is with instrument proficiencies and the perform skill. The perform skill seems to make you proficient with all instruments and thus eliminates the...

One of the most memorable uses of a purple worm was in my 4e campaign as part of Lolth's grand epic-tier army. There was a group of elite drow archers mounted on a purple worm (with a howdah made from xorn-skin so that the riders could burrow through the earth along with the worm). The worm ate...

Not sure if this is old news by now or not, but I was at the release announcement at Gen Con, and I asked the staff whether Dark Sun will have arcane and divine classes in it. The response, paraphrased, was: "Arcane power users will continue to have a unique spin to them. Divine characters will...

I posted this back on the wizard's boards, but they seem to be largely dead. This is what I am using for minions in my 3.5 game. Hit Points: Minions have a number of hitpoints equal to their HD+con modifier. So a 4HD ogre minion with a 15 con would have 6 hit points. Minions automatically die...

Earthdawn was my first RPG experience ever. I was considering returning to try a modified house ruled version in an attempt to balance things a little bit, but I'm not sure if that would ruin it. Earthdawn was all about being ridiculously unbalanced, it was half the fun. Even so, giving...

Strangely, the System Reference Document Version of Rust Monsters doesn't say how they affect metal creatures, but it does say it can destroy a 10ft. cube of metal instantly. Perhaps make its attack like a save vs. disintegration? Off the top of my head, it seems like the 3.0 rust monsters...

I have actually had the experience of having a player run an iron half-golem from low levels all the way to level 18 using a homebrewed monster class progression. It was quite the experience. I set the LA of the iron half-golem template at +8. My impression of the overall experience is that it...
