my solution to this type of thing .... is what we do now. right now players find spells in some older material (or I find it) and would like to incorporate it, even if it hasn't been officially converted to D20. I just read it, and decide if it should be in the same level as prior, one...

wow... JoeGKushner ... You may have liked how I started of my players in our campaign about 2.5 years ago now... they were being inside a laboratory, naked, having their memories/dreams read via some sort of semi mechanical/psion/magical device with types of magical crystals embedded in...

ya I'm with Kamikaze midget... if monsters or spells don't exist as I would like them, or at all, I can use the older books to help me convert/rewrite a new version for my 4E game. PrC's can be created into paragon paths/epic destinies and the epic level handbook can give a guide (but scrap...

actually in a couple books, he does use spells...

What do people think, for those who want levels beyond, will be done? Just continue epic tier? or make a special type of epic tier for ultra planar type adventurers/servants of gods/angels/demons/devils? or something totally unique? Epic Destinies does sound kinda cool. What could they do at...

house rules I like the longer life span thing since we've changed how the aging works anyways... I wonder if I will bother house rule the resistance to sleep, etc... I think not having it kinda makes more sense anyways....same with the detect secret doors. Sanjay

as a DM.... I like alot of the options for players and the extra HP at 1st level... It's just some stuff for my cosmology preferences, monster preferences (dragons with spells, demons with lots of funky powers, etc) that I will have to house rule..but i do enuff house rules now that it...

ok.. Immunities is one of the first things I'm houseruling back in...I'm sorry, but if The Devil isn't immune to fire, I'd sigh *grin* A balor also, should be immune to fire IMHO, as are elementals....being magical fire, one could say the oxygen requirement is meaningless...however, I can see...

I can't believe I am saying this....but.... I like this change.... I thought I would be one of the 'haters' here about it, but I think it is a good idea. A shake up, sounds so far, if the rumours are right, that the realms will be very interesting. Also, it appears one of my favourite...

it's great We do this in our games and it's awesome. It leads to tons of unexpected events/scenarios, etc. We use a modified item/structure save system than core, and I will most likely move the same system to 4E. Due to this, I always check for damage to structures, or natural environment...

armour I like the 'realistic' nature of DR in armour. It does make it possible for some characters to not be able to harm certain enemies, but then, they have to think and find something else to do. Maybe you can trip them? or blind them? or maybe switch weapons? pick up something else...

Hey!!! I'm 30..started with 2e (then played some 1e and DND basic) and now I DM my own modified 3.5E.. I hate 1e and basic with a passion. Some very retarded dynamics in them... 2e improved on them a bit but not all. 3.5X I like a lot (other than a few things I house rule anyways) and I am...

I'm special :P As a person who voted "special snowflake" the reason is: As I will be converted the current campaign I run to 4E, and convert/recreate any rules that we use as custom now, and implement house rules in 4E as well, I reserve right to do the same for the races. I DM a planescape...

hmmm i read somehere, in one of the earlier deisgn dev posts, etc, that one ofthe staff guys at wizards, uses a minotaur character, and that in 4E core books, he will still be able to. But it was never meantioned if that was due to a detailed stat block in the MM or maybe, minotaurs are the...

We use a simplified facing. We assume people look around now and then, but if not otherwise stated, people do NOT walk forward and every 3 seconds turn around behind them UNLESS there is a reason to do so. Thus, forward arc is assumed visible to everyone. Rear is not unless told to me ahead of...

And let the list begin: These are house rules we use currently: 1) critical hits work differently (we use the spells & magic/Combat & tactics, detailed 'realistic' crit hits, so our method is a combination - we have a computer program a friend created that does it all for us, so upon a crit...

I didn't see this discussed in the past few weeks, unless I missed it so thought I would post. I just read the prelude in The Orc King (borrowed from friend to read) and it is actually discussing 100 years ahead of the timeline of the Drizzt & friends characters current timeline. * mild...

powers are the gods going to give unique powers to their worshippers? it be awesome if clerics, paladins got very unique sstuff from each god. but even other followers, mages, warriors, etc could even get some powers from them every few levels or constantly from the start. Sanjay

Jazerian I can't spell it right, but I was hoping Jazerian would make it into the Pantheon. The move of Asmodeus as a god is how I use him somewhat in my cosmology, since I do use Asmodeus, Lady of Pain, Jazerian, Mediator, a few others as those ancient beings that predate the gods. Essences...

minos!!! seeing how Minotaurs are a core race in Dragonlance since 2nd edition (early 90s), I would love to see them in 4E. It's certainly not copying WoW, since Dragonlance, an official D&D setting, did it before them :P Sanjay
