    "Worst" non-core party?

    easy. 4 commoners. However it should be noted that I once built the most poor character ever. He had a 100% xp penalty due to multiclassing and no useful class features. IIRC it was an elf commoner 3, expert 1, aristocrat 1, warrior 1, wizard 1, sorcerer 1 with an int and charisma of 9 or...

    Do wands destroy the 3.x adventure paradigm?

    They would just be trading 1 resource for another. Daily spells are free, wands are not. They are still using resources either way.

    Ways to make an airship fly?

    Gravatite. Its a naturally occuring mineral in my CS, it has functionality similar to some of the other suggestions. The stone projects a natural directional gravatational field. If two pieces of the material are inverted so that the "down" side faces each other, a propulsive force is generated...

    Lists of non-magical treasures

    old books. I once gave an old book as treasure. It was half alchemical formulas and half journal of an avariel alchemest that demonstrated his descent into madness from his own perspective. The last page (blood stained) indicate that he was going to summon an alien god to protect him from the...

    Character Player 90% Storyteller 85% Weekend Warrior 60% Tactician 60% Power Gamer 35% Casual Gamer 30% Specialist 0% I was rather astonished. I typically view myself a highly tactical player and a decent powergamer, though I prefer to balance that with a great story...

    Re-balancing the 1/2 Orc for my own campaign (II)

    Bonus skills, because more than intimidate bonus or dropping charisma penalty, it makes them better rogues and rangers while not also making them better wizards. Though IMO dropping the charisma penalty would not be unbalanced either.

    Fantasy with d20 modern classes... help.

    The funny thing is, I have been considering updating my homebrew campain setting to d20 modern. It is definately high magic. What I was thinking is this: This is a magic system intended to bring high magic to a d20 modern based high fantasy setting. The core of the magic system is a series of...

    Some Unique House Rules / Varient in the making

    yes. It won't be easy. Skill focus:weapon is a much better feat than weapon focus currently is. Likewise proficiency negating the -4 penalty means that a fighter type will have an extra +3 or so to hit due to his starting 4 ranks in the chosen weapon. I've been toying around with the idea of...

    Re-balancing the 1/2 Orc for my own campaign

    Its not so much that strength is better. Its that for those who want a strength bonus, charisma is going to be a dump stat anyway. So +2 str -2 cha doesn't balance out well. Now, given the complete dirth of other racial features, that might balance out. But it still don't really like the idea of...

    Anyone else looking forward to the new WoTC modules?

    I prefer rulebooks personally. I am the kind of DM that likes to build his own adventures and campaign.

    Cost of a Magical Mithril Shirt

    Are we talking about the stereotypical greasy 35 year old virgin living in his mothers basement type of gamer? :) On a slightly less off topic tangent. I once had a player ask how much it would cost to get a mithril chain bikini for her dwarf with a bad attitude (admittedly she was described...

    Re-balancing the 1/2 Orc for my own campaign

    I would keep the int penalty, but give human bonus skill points. This gives them a definatively human racial trait where the standard just seems to be a watered down version of the orc. The skill bonus helps orcs with classes that use a lot of skills and offsets thier int penalty. This makes...

    Cost of a Magical Mithril Shirt

    I don't think that spiked mithril chain provides the kind of "protection" that applies to that situation. ;)

    a different kind of druid

    There is much more to nature than trees. There are predators and prey. What if your druid is the ultimate predator? The perfect hunter. You are wild and powerful, shaping your body to best defeat your prey and willing the elements to your command. I once played a seshayan (menace manual...

    Question for the math nerds re: 3d6

    keep them rolling. Get a sample space of a few hundred or thousands of rolls and you will see that nice sweet bell curve. That our you could simply plot every possible combination of dice that result in a specific number and that will give you the exact distribution.

    There is a product called d20 somalia, though I heard it isn't very good, and is more focused towards a modern military campain.
