Without having taken the time to really look this over, it nevertheless looks very good. I was thinking of something similar, but instead I was thinking about making each school its own class, and going through all the mandatory tweaking to make it work, and then having an "arcanist," something...

There's a druid that was turned into a vampire in my campaign, does he count? ;) Seriously, the idea of a necromantic druid is quite nasty. I'm thinking that the NE variety would be quite a troublesome opponent. I'm imagining some marshy area in a campaign that's sort of perpetually under...

Players will play paladins in a way that gets them rewards. If the DM is handing out XP for a paladin who helps old ladies across the street, then that's what players will do with their paladins... Dave

Instead of getting rid of it, why not just increase the DC? How about DC = 20 + (Spell Level x 3)? 1st level caster with max ranks, 16 Int and a 12 Con has a +8 on his Concentration check, a first level spell's DC would be 23, so he needs a 15 on his roll--difficult, and often not worth...

In my own campaign, I use a somewhat Platonic soul; it is a three-part, immaterial "substance." One part represents the person's desires, one part represents the person's willfulness, the other part represents the person's reason. The person himself might not recognize himself as having these...

I am going to have to explore this some. It's got potential. Thanks. Dave

Whenever I think about a new system for PCs, I try it out with a min/max character at 1st, 4th, 7th, 10th, 13th, 16th and 19th level. If the character is not balanced somewhere, I seek a fix. So, you could try out your plan at several different levels, assuming that the player takes the...

I've been running a home-brew campaign for about 5 years now, and the characters are isolated from most of the rest of the world. They don't have too much access to magic, or extra spells, or any of the usual stuff. I gave everyone a bonus feat at 7th and 13th level, and used a 40-point-buy...

These are great--thanks for sharing. Dave

It should be able to prevent itself from taking many attacks. And if the party doesn't have magic weapons, they're really in trouble. If the party can get the thing grounded, they've got a shot. But, if it really tries, it should be able to target and eliminate the pesky non-fighter-types at...

For tremendous ease, you can also go this route. Good skill = character's level (yes, character level, not class level) Fair skill = 2/3 character's level Poor skill = 1/3 character's level No skill = 0 If anything comes up in the game, just ask, "Would so and so be good, fair or poor at this...

The odds depend entirely upon whether the person rolling the 29 rolls is lucky or unlucky, as all seasoned D&D players know. Dave

Everyone, The promised full-size maps for the adventure in issue 7 are now available for download. They're a bit on the hefty size (together they're around 55 meg), but they're worth it. You can find them here on the right side of the page, beneath the thumbnail of the issue. Dave

Thanks for letting me know--I'll pass it on to the web dude. Edit: According to the publisher, the problem has been fixed. Dave

Yes it is. http://wizo.wizards.com/ka/archives.php Dave

I'm itching to see these in person, now that the pre-release is over and so many people already have theirs. Dave

I thought about editing the title to "Free Sex" to get more attention, but then it would probably just get locked. ;) Dave

I'm glad you liked it. :) Dave

If you would, please take a look at the RPG content, especially. The magazine is free, and we'd like it to get better and better, but we need community feedback. Take a look at the Creature Feature--every issue we offer up a monster, and Skip Williams himself is a development contributor to...

I agree with those who've said there's no reason to provide stats for deities. Descriptions are plenty. Dave
