Sorry, I wasn't very clear. My suggestion is: a) Keep vanilla components. b) Make scrolls free/cheap. c) Add a new reqiurement to each ritual, that is specific to that ritual. For example, for Detect Secret Doors this could be the eye of a basilisk (or whatever). That eye would cost 125gp (what...

Can I suggest that a compromise would be to essentially replace scrolls with the rare components you need. Scrolls of rituals are readily available and cheap, but it is the components (scrolls) or foci (books) that must be collected or purchased. That way, characters can simply note: Wyrm...

If I remember correctly, DoD is a 4E set, meaning the Iron Defender is Medium in 4E.

1. Peasants (farmers, serfs, children, rioting mobs, etc.). 2. Militias (armed farmers, militiamen). 3. City guards. 4. Soldiers. 5. Noblemen and women. 6. Outlaws. 7. Elite soldiers. 8. Bounty hunters. 9. Border guards. 10. A couple of each class - thieves, mages, priests, knights, hunters...

What if a paladin has strong beliefs about something other than Good or Evil?

Although I voted "No", I have contemplated doing this myself. I was thinking keeping the PH away from the players would encourage them to see their characters as archetypes/professions not classes - so the scout and ranger both thought of themselves as rangers, for example. But I discarded the...

I'm planning to have all attacks (bar crits) do average damage. I want faster rounds, where what matters is whether or not the attack hits. My players are slow to make decisions, find dice, roll dice, add dice, tell me the result - if I can cut a few steps out I hope to speed the game up...

No one's going to stop you from handing out RP XP if you want to. I don't see how this would snuff out anything.

Another one: Dungeoneering, Intimidate, History, Insight. Thievery, Nature. Heal. Growing on a dungeon wall is a tumorous growth, pulsating steadily and oozing a thin yellow fluid. A tear in the tumour grows slowly but unstoppably, and a tentacle from some foul being pokes through the gap...

Please tell me what you think: Arcana, Diplomacy, Insight, History Heal, Bluff Thievery A stern, ten-eyed sphinx stands watch over a book that is wrapped up in chains and locked tightly shut. The characters have been tasked with capturing the book and possibly destroying it, if they can...

Healing Lore is already incorporated into Erais's Healing Word.

The baseline seems to have changed regarding alignments. The DDXP characters were mainly unaligned, with one exceptional character as 'Good'. These characters are mainly Good, with two exceptional characters as 'Lawful Good'.

I really like this. It seems very elegant. Then, perhaps, for their Utility 2 power wizards could get a much more devastating defile that lets them use their daily power again.

What do mavens look like? Is it the mages or the mavens that "transform into living rifts"?

One character that is always mentioned when multiclassing is discussed is Conan the Barbarian. I've never read the books, but I'm curious to know if people think that these multiclassing rules are robust enough to create Conan. (It seems King Conan is a barbarian 15/soldier 2/thief 1/pirate 2...

Reading through Wikipedia on King Arthur, I noticed the following text. While it refers to three different approaches to King Arthur, when combined they actually read a lot like a 4E character in the three tiers. Sounds a lot like a character in the heroic tier. A wilderness campaign...

Back on topic, there will be elements of 3e that I will miss. I started role-playing with 3.0 and I loved its internal consistency. No effort was spared on my part to make everything compatible - if WotC changed their prestige class format, all the homebrew prestige classes I wrote would be...

It upsets me a little when I read through Pathfinder or read about the Book of Experimental Might because six months ago I would have loved those books. I would have pre-ordered Pathfinder, I would have duked it out on the Paizo forums with other fans, read every thread on montecook.com about...

Is it just me, or did he fail to answer the single most pressing question - that of the poison pill? (Maybe this interview was written before the big kerfuffle so they didn't realise it'd be an issue).
