I totally don't want to take away from any class, any more than I want to make a class uber. I think that giving the rogues the largest choice of class skills reflects this benefit that they have with skills enough. Fighters and mages have class skills relevant to what they do. So even if all...

Yup, I've been thinking about that. I never did understand why there was a discrepancy in skill points per class. If Rob the Human becomes a wizard, or a rogue, or a fighter, why would he have less skill points? It would only be what skills he learns, rather than skill learning potential, that...

I think there is enough support thrown at the wizards where I won't go into how they would defend said castle. Really, merely summoning a few monsters that require at least a +1 magical weapon to injure would be enough to rout the larger army. But I digress.. As the Commander of the 10,000 I...

So trying to find the rules for a BAB that was split into Ranged and Melee AB, I came across this idea of making Attack bonus a skill. My first reaction was that this was a very broken idea - first level characters can have attack bonuses in the +5 or 6 range at first level with a decent ability...

Well, if Iron Heroes has rules for the split BAB I may have to pick it up. But it can't be where I've seen it because I don't have *any* Iron Heroes materials. Mind you, I have right near everything else...

I'm hoping the braintrust that is the ENWorld rule gurus can help me track this down. There are alternative rules in some d20 game (Game of Thrones maybe? d20 BESM? True d20?) somewhere that go over how to split BAB into Ranged BAB and Melee BAB. I have seen them but cannot remember where...

After some thought, the original house rule I presented here has seen some modification. Here is a quick run down on the original idea; It starts from the Game of Thrones rules (Grim n Gritty), in which armor doesn't add to armor class, it adds DR. The original rule was however much the roll to...

This echos my own experience. My little girl is turning two in May, and the boy is almost 4 months old now. She was very quiet as a baby, and I gamed frequently when it was just her. The boy forgets how to sleep, and takes between 1 to 3 feedings at night - we *hope* that he becomes a bit more...

On AP: Well, I was going to do a table and reference it, maybe keep it simple to keep a track of. Skill Based Damage: For ranged weapon, since Dex adds to the To Hit roll, then it would translate to damage as every point beyond what you need to hit translates into extra damage. If you are high...

Here is another thought, as I am looking at Outcast's fine work - I don't think we should provide PCs any tangible benefits from this table. In another words, no extra gold, or bonus skill points, or magic weapon, etc. Otherwise the Lifepath becomes subject to being abused. I think we should...

Well, sure, under the obvious place. You're so tricky... ;) Okay, my first set of comments is for the Birth Location table. 1) Change the farming hamlet to simply hamlet 2) Make 9 into 10, 10 into 11, and roll 11 and 12 into 12 - Born on outer plane, plane and simple. Then make 9 into...

Good job Nifft! How did you get the nifty table in there? I don't know if I like that there is a 30% chance the PC will have a weird background - be it raised in another plane or by racially different beings. At the same time, I'm not sure I dislike it. Thoughts, anyone else? I took out the...

Ask, and yee shall receive Disclaimer 1: NEVER have I made a Wiki entry so excuse the inability to make it look good. I hope that you all can make it look better. Disclaimer 2: I just got it started. Lots of work to be done there. Hopefully there is enough in the general outline to get things...

I'm telling ya LO, its gonna be up to the community to come up with it. Search as I might, I cannot find one anywhere. Maybe someone will speak up with a resource. If not, I'm in for ideas on developing one here in the community. I have both the original Cyberpunk 2020 book and the Mekton book...

Slight Modifications: 1.Dress and Personal Style (this section is nearly impossible. Depending on what era you play your medieval - Dark Ages, Renaissance, the in between periods.., and what campaign world and what flavor (barbaric, oriental, arabia) this could range VERY widely, so I came up...

That's pretty much out of the book verbatim. As you can see, for a DM running a game, simply havin the characters roll through their lifepaths could produce games and even campaigns. Ex-lovers, murderers, artifacts...hmmm...methinks I'm getting inspired. What do y'all think? Work on a D&D...

The Cyberpunk book had a great lifepath generator. Depending on your age, you rolled for every year above a certain cut off. If also had parts in there for your look, your style, etc. It was all optional, but if you wanted to it could define to a large degree your character's past as well as his...

Thank you both for comments :) The game is indeed made more lethal by these rules, both for the PCs and their quarry. With this system high level PCs can wade through waves of orcs thanks to the extra damage. In my game world there are no Cure or Inflict spells, so *most* of the time you have...

I didn't meant to ignore the ongoing discussion with my earlier thread. On the topic of morale - I trust in my players to RPG their characters accordingly on this. I don't have it in me to make a rule that might force them to flee. Most of the time they have the sense. If a hill giant is...

Gracious, out for a day and the thread just goes wild. At any rate, it seems much ado was done over the example I gave for my house rule to add damage based on a fighter's skill, but not a thing was said in criticism or comment of the rule itself. So, once again, this time without examples -...
