    Weather and other Random Generations

    Have you seen the Excel that generates a full calendar for the Greyhawk Weather Generator? Yeah... That's pretty much using the same backbone as this generator and most of the same charts... Which are most of the ones in the Weather Generator system ;). Slainte, -Loonook.

    Rules for Torture/Brainwashing?

    As I said, I would probably create either a specialized Torturer set of SLA to represent it, or have a specific torturer who has learned the arts. In a magic setting I think you can actually torture in far more intriguing ways. I think back to the Dresden Files... A major player discusses...

    Roleplaying Power

    Since it is Fhar... It looks like this. Covered in diamonds. And a holy 'hobo wandering' soundtrack playing whenever you make a move action. Slainte, -Loonook.

    Rules for Torture/Brainwashing?

    Weeks? Months? Years? I mean, to change someone's outlook look at boot camp/military training. You push someone through sleep deprivation, sensory deprivation, chemical attack, combat, assaults on the body and mind to temper the person into a more effective combatant. It doesn't always work...

    Roleplaying Power

    It is what I do :). I do like your idea with the Wizard and a bad pact... As a Wandering Deity whose followers become Crossroads Ghosts it wouldn't be a stretch that there may be Crossroads Demons running about offering deals to those who are about... And Fhar also always had a feeling of...

    Harry Potter Game

    If you want to keep to d20... Have you looked into Elements of Magic or Elements of Magic: Mythic Earth? If you utilize EoM:ME (using the D20 Modern system with spells that are skill-based) you can actually create schools of spellcraft. Anyone who attends a Magic Academy could have something...

    What would people with these Intelligence scores act like?

    And something we cannot currently create (an autonomous mechanized suit) cannot be quantified by how many additional skill ranks an individual gets. Intelligence of a creature doesn't auto-equate to the ability to produce plastics, nanopolymers, and a hundred things we do not know about to make...

    What would people with these Intelligence scores act like?

    Interdependence (Ex): The Hollow Golem requires a controller. The controller must be a size category smaller than the Hollow Golem. The operator gains bonus HP equal (1+Size over Large)*100, and the operator gains the ability to use the Hollow Golem's current suite of powers. Item Slots...

    Rules for Torture/Brainwashing?

    Crimson Contracts (which I believe you can find in the ENWorld store) has some pretty good rules on Torture. It's a PDF and I remember testing the rules out a bit and finding them pretty representative. Torture doesn't really allow you to just reprogram your target. For that I would probably...

    Roleplaying Power

    The Local Stage: You are The Man of the Church. You are the mirror that reflects what goes on in the Church and there will be those who wish to brighten, or darken, or shatter the view of the Church. Your first month is establishing a staff, cleaning out anything you may find, learning of the...

    What would people with these Intelligence scores act like?

    ... They do look a lot different when you put them beside each other. Iron Golems are hollow, based on math... Of course clay golems are not, but the weight of an iron golem makes them hollow. The space within a large golem could quite easily contain a humanoid. And a Shield Guardian-style...

    What would people with these Intelligence scores act like?

    An Intelligence check doesn't really do a mecha build justice. Just figure out how much a similar Golem would cost, and then Craft it using a Craft (Tech) check of some sort with information based on plans you have drafted. Of course the plans will be their own making... And its going to take...

    Big Bad Evil Melee Guy

    Alright, I'll take it from the point where an individual would gain Disintegrate... Since we're discussing Pathfinder rather than D&D I'll go with available Pathfinder classes, and recreate one of my favorites from an older 3.x game set in a fairy tale style world: The Knight of Mirrors. The...

    Weather and other Random Generations

    Denizens... So I actually was really intrigued by a recent article on Gnome Stew about generating a Year of Random Weather.. And so I tracked down the Dragon Article (Old Archives CDs ftw!) it is based on (Dragon 137, p. 34-42)... And have come to the realization why AD&D numbers always feel...

    Value of a copper piece

    So I got a lot of calculations done today using Magic Medieval Society discussions of taxation, and brought all the numbers for calculation and valuation of the D&D Gold Piece versus a USD. Here's the numbers below: Calculation of GP Value based on Net Income of Peasant Farming Family (2...

    Economy and D&D

    So I've been thinking due to a few threads about the actual intrinsic value of life for a humanoid in D&D versus a human being in our current time. From the age of adulthood (15 per 3.x PHB Table 6-4) to the maximum age range (110) a human unskilled laborer who never adventurers and just...

    Urban Kingmaker

    I'm kind of confused by the fact that your agricultural freemen are not going to be able to utilize surrounding farmland? Also, if it is an abandoned city you could easily convert old park space into farm land with a few plows. The group is going to need food. Former slaves who are provided...

    Value of a copper piece

    There is actually a spell in the old Book of Erotic Fantasy... Yes, I know. And yes, about that too. The book is horrible in its description of sexuality. It is, however, a pretty decent guide to gestation... And I believe there is actually a 'repress bloodline' spell within that was around...

    Would You Use A (Villainous) Race Like This?

    Yes, but Nagaji have +2 Strong Physical, +2 Weak Mental, -2 Strong Mental... And the Wayung have +2 Strong Physical, +2 Strong Mental, -2 Strong Mental. The Wayang gain Gnome-like spell abilities with shadow magic, and the Nagaji gain Natural Armor +1, which is again quite a nice ability, but...

    Would You Use A (Villainous) Race Like This?

    You've made a race of Strong Elves with a color palette swap and actually gave them a better penalty stat. The creatures don't seem very 'unique', and they have two useful stats but weaken themselves as druids (animal empathy, etc.) by taking Charisma as the penalty. No other race in...
