I never realy bother with NPC classes because they have zero survivability when it comes to combat against PCs. Anyone the PCs are going to bother dealing with are going to have PC levles themselves.

Top notch series, though the follow up series kinda fell through. Thinking back I do realize that they never give him a specific name, it seems to fit well with his backstory as an outsider/rogue agent.

I'd actualy hoped that this was a joke, but it appears otherwise. If I had the time I'd enter a long rant... instead those of you who are interested can go to http://www.nuklearpower.com/ and read his rant, it pretty much matches my own feelings on this matter.

about 3 hours a week of classical Japanese Martial Arts makes up most of my exercise.

Still playing WoW, level 41 dwarf priest baby... I'm desperatly trying to save up enough cash for my mount (72g and i only have 10g after paying for the traning, hopefully after I finish with Uldaman my rep with IF will go up and the cost will go down).

Dragons IMC are power encarnate, ancient beings from an ancient time before the creaters of man and elf ever crawled from the sea. They are, by any mortal definition, gods. They know their strenghts and weaknesses, and when stirred to action, be it by the shifting of the stars, vast wars among...

XP spread is to be expected with people coming and going from a group (my own group has this problem to a lesser degree). What I've done is just auto level up the lowest level people to bring them to the group average (I assume that their characters are dooing Something when their players are...

The typoes are not that bad, the book is easily understandable (even with Spellb.ook) so you dont realy need to get the new edition. That goes double if you are just looking for setting info as the essay describing the Hyborian world is straight from REH and doesnt have any of the errors.

maybe not all casters, but divine casters do have an advantage (knowing ALL the spells for a given level makes them incredibly flexable, even if you dont give them access to all the divine spells in a new book). Making Divine casters learn their spells like a wizard goes a long way to balancing...

I tinker endlessly with the system, changing things here and there all the time. Currently my campaings are closer to core Conan d20 then core D&D (I love the defense progression, armor as DR and the High Living rule). My current project is tinkering with the magic system, right now its just...

There are a few reasons I've gone throught the trouble of creating my own campaing world... 1) Like most others have said I love creating, just the act of dreaming up lands, creatures, and histories is something I've always enjoyed dooing. 2) I've never found a setting that was perfect for me...

by my count the number of typed pages I have is 146, that doesnt enclude the hand written pages and maps that i've made, which would probably push the total to 160+ quite a bit of work considering I started consolidating my notes onto the computer less then a year ago.

Fighter, Rogue, Wizard, and Cleric I consider base classes that exist everywhere (people always need to fight and steal). Other classes come in based on the setting... though barbarian is invarably a part of my campaings. Paladins, Druids, and Bards are restricted to European style games while...

My current campaing, an orental / sworda & sorcery style game: "In a land where ancient empires rot amid timeless jungles, where daemons in mortal guise whisper in the ears of kings, a few bold individuals learn that you risk more then your life when you want to be the best."

I dont use Save-or-Die effects (they are just to annoying), as such I have no problem letting the dice fall where they may (unless its the third time in three consecutive games that a guys character has been killed). I dont have Res spells IMC (at least not readily available ones) so its not...

Lets see: 1) Dodge provides a flat +1 bonus to AC instead of a targeted one 2) Level based AC progression, armor acts as DR 3) Weapons Finesse is a rule not a feat, any character can make a finesse attack with a finessable weapon. 4) Clerics lose access to medium and heavy armor, and instead...

There are quite a few regions IMC, and all have several languages. For each continent I've made a "trade language" which the PC's get for free. The trade languages are Imperial, Arabic, and Cathayian. Other languages enclude Castillian, Normandish, Reiksprecht, Norscan, Rusich, Nihonese...

Random? maybe to the players some encounters seem random... but I've never been one to throw a random encounter with a creature powerful enought to challenge the party. I do occasionaly use "random ninja" type encounters to liven up a RP heavy session.

I allow core, with some restrictions, as well as bits and pieces from other books (WotC and non-WotC). Players are not allowed to use anything not in the core or my notebook unless I aprove it before hand (which usualy means no). My current campaing uses: my DM's notebook, Orental Adventures...

I was going to say six, but then I did the math and it came out as 8... gods has it realy been so long since my freshman semester in college?
