Very similar: Caster makes spell attack roll - Roll d20 and add your modifier plus 1/2 your level vrs the target's MD (magical defense wich is 11 + the F, R or W modifier. Everyone prefers it because now the casters feel that the spell is more in their control rather than that of the target.

So many opinions (and repeat opinions) so little time. I admit I stopped reading about 2/3 the way through page one. Here is an option for you that allows some control but some randomness as well: Each character starts with the following stats: 15, 14, 13, 12, 10, and 8. They each then have 3...

Interesting situation. As DM you can run it any way you like. Personally I have paladins sort of "ritual" their way into a level that confers a new ability. I would either: say the ritual/level gain points out his affliction and you can run a small side adventure for a cure/attonement (depending...

I would always recommend that you try them, you can always go back I suppose. I understand your thoughts on the elemental forms. I prefered it the way is was when a spell was required to take those forms. You probably do not, however, have to tweak the rules so much to get your desired results...

Let me start with an apology because this probably is not the feedback you are looking for. So...sorry. That having been said, my group has played with a bunch of different options to alter/change the Turn Undead ability, and are still trying different ideas. In MHO your first class' changes...

Too many to mention really, but there was one that I did enjoy playing: a fighter named Langdon Winghelm. I was in a group that talked constantly; they would never shut up, so I created a character that would not (or could not from their perspective) talk. During the sessions I would never say a...

I agree that this could be possible, just like the comment here could be a perfect example of a player with the same problem (i.e. arrogance, low self-esteem, he MUST be out to get me paranoia, etc.).

If you saw my earlier post we use the negative Con as the death threshold, but not the negative Con mod as the disabled point; we actually use one-half the Con attribute, so with a Con of 14 you are disabled until -7 where you start dying and dead at -14.

Saw this thread from the beginning, but wasn't sure I wanted to say anything. 1.) Used to be the baby sitter for the drummer of Offspring (he was just Ronny then). 2.) Stuffed 13 people in my T-Bird (I was handcuffed to one) and we all went to the movies. I was dating two females at the same...

Character's starting hit points equal their Constitution stat (i.e. Con 14, HP 14) and death is at negative Constitution (i.e. Con 14, death at -14). In conjuction with that, their Constitution score is their percentage change to stabilize instead of a flat 10% (i.e. Con 14, 14% chance to...

If this was already covered I apologize, but after reading the first 15 or so messages I got very bored. Anyway, regardless of the title, has anyone bothered to check out the contents? There has not been a lot of info about it, but from my understanding it is an alternate PHB which believes...

This string is a great tool. I like it and have even posted here. I would like to make one humble request: that you just post the items (and cost updates to show the cost of items previously shown without them when necessary) and not comments. It takes longer to scroll through the thread with...

Agreed. My campaign world is virtually the same: goblins are like a plague, hobgoblins are well-organized and disciplined, and bugbears are the barbarian hordes. We have ogres, but have not made them related, and no "high goblins." Orcs/orks/orcks are over-done and worn out.

There are a few things I can think of off the top of my head. 1.) Keep in mind that the natural armor effects do not stack. 2.) Relatively low casters can increase the size and/or strength of the giants you mentioned and I recommend that one or more of them grapple the dragon while another one...

Here is an item that belonged to a reoccuring vampire villain that plagues a group of adventurers that I am DMing for: Lightbane Bloodstone This fist sized bloodstone has an indentation that when pressed to the lips allows the possessor to drink its contents. The stone holds the magically...

There is a Feat in Arcana Unearthed that allows you to have your natural weapons (i.e. fists, feet, claws, bite, etc.) made magical just like weapons. The effect can be turned off or on at will as I recall.

Agreed JM. You are wise among role-players. :>

Did you just say "quite"? See, that is the beauty of it. I am always ahead. My opinion is always better than yours. Everyone feels the same (although the "touchie-feelie" people will say "I never said my opinion was better"). The only important rule ever made for this game is (not an exact...

As I said. See my first paragraph.

First off I can guarantee this will not, and cannot be resolved here. Everyone will have an opinion, of course, and everyone else will just say "well that is your opinion." Makes you wonder why we bother. I believe everyone feels the need to sway everyone else to their way of thinking. As for...
