Going to average the 1e/2e at 4-6 years. But 3e is more like 13-18 months for me.

I've thought about it more and I'm mostly leaning towards Survival for getting it out, but the Survival roll can only be made after someone makes a successful Knowledge roll to determine what and if you can harvest. If you don't have the feat, it's an Int check, if you have the feat, it'll be...

For anything but the most basic stuff, they are going to have to have a special pouch for this. Think Hewards Handy Haversack with Gentle Repose built in. Also, randomly collected parts will be worthless. They'll have to be collected by someone with the right skill to collect and either have...

I am also iffy on the idea of adding more skills. I had considered allowing any wizard to try it as an untrained int based skill to know and then a regular survival skill roll to extract. Or, the wizard could spend a feat, to roll their Knowledge Arcana instead of an untrained skill roll...

Hehe, I planned on building the list as they found, killed and harvested stuff instead of sitting down with the MM and trying to come up with stuff. Pl: So, we killed this displacer beast, can we get anything from it... DM: I dunno, Roll. Knowledge: Occult Material PL: Natural 20! That gives...

I'd be open minded to that, it bugged me as well. How about... Craft: Necropsy (that's the animal version of an autopsy).

I treat all Spellbooks as a form of "Blessed Book" in terms of transferring spells into them at no cost. However, I still have an upgraded version of the Blessed Book, the difference is that you can transfer spells into the upgraded Blessed Book at the rate of 10 minutes/level of the spell (cost...

Hehe, I think the wizards in my games (as a GM and a Player) differ notably from the Wizards in your games. Mine tend towards more of a "kill them before they kill you" mentality. Also, for what it's worth, I was coming up with this for an upcoming Homebrew world I'm going to be working on...

Close to what I had in mind, I was thinking of something like a Knowledge: Occult Material to know about the components, and it's not just something you can spend skill points on, you have to find tomes or teachers to go beyond each rank divisible by 5, (5, 10, 15, 20, etc). Along with a...

Thanks :) As soon as I get something together that is "postable" I'll get it up for ideas and thoughts. Cedric

I started working on a new Homebrew setting last night. Usually I just create these in a vacuum. In other words, I work on it and no one sees any of the work until I'm done and I run the game. I usually do a mix of completely original stuff, items taken from other WoTC material and published...

Yes, critter bits was going to be a cornerstone of the system I had in mind. As to making caster's more powerful, I actually don't have a problem with that, I intend to make them more powerful. Just in a selective and difficult to control manner. Learning to identify and use the critter parts...

I'm with Mouse on this one. Oh, and we haven't seen hide nor feather of the familiar for awhile, I think it'll pop out of nowhere and ruin some plan of Nale's. He'll have a fit about not even knowing there was a familiar.

That's a great idea. A lot of people don't appreciate the plight of the small game publisher, creator, distributor, etc. But it's very hard for them to make a buck at what they do. More often than not, they extend their personal credit trying to make a "go" of it, and are very lucky to ever...

I said it works just fine, but that's largely based on the fact that I never see people rush out to get Bucklers and spend feats on their use. If it became the "it" ability melee characters go for, I might change my mind. Not the best reasoning, I know...but I use it for a lot of things.

Yes, after reading a bit of the background and checking some of it out today. What I had in mind is closer to the Greyhawk end of things than the Midnight end...and I wasn't going to change so much of the mechanics, just make certain resources a bit more scarce. Also, adventurers would be a...

This could fit into 1-2 of the other categories, but I think "The Chase" should be in there somewhere. You have something the bad guys want and a limited time to get somewhere with it, they are chasing you. Or, vice~versa.

Great stuff, thanks.
