    Turn undead could be "fixed" by adding it as a first level cleric spell.

    Healing reserve feat?

    but in that case, you are still waiting an hour for natural healing to remove the subdual. It isn't bad because even if you converted every wound to subdual, a second fight before that hour is up would "knock down" a character just as easilly as if they had no wound-subdual conversion, the...

    How do you show flight elevation in combat when using mini's?

    actually that won't work all the way up, more specifically it leaves very large gaps at the upper range. 6*6 = 180 6*5 = 150 Thats a 30ft difference. Why not use sum(J=1...K)of(D*(X^J))? Where K is the the number of dice rolled = logX(N), X is the range of the die, D is the value of the Kth...

    Microlite20 : the smallest thing in gaming

    not if you increase the hp it takes to cast higher level spells. But then again, that adds complexity to a simple rule system.

    Magic Missiles vs Mirror Image

    would it not be much faster and easier in this case if you rolled 1d5, saying the first 3 are the targeted images, and the result is the real character? Same probability distribution, fewer rolls.

    Healing reserve feat?

    yes, If you go with this, I could definately see this feat working with 2nd level spell slot requirement. Plus you only have to rest 1 hour for the subdual to go away.

    Healing reserve feat?

    The biggest issue with free healing is that it breaks the assumptions of balance in a campain that features multiple combats between rest because you can make shure that everyone is fully healed at the start of every combat without any cost in GP or spell slots. A wand of CLW while it can mimic...

    Healing reserve feat?

    If free instant healing seems out of balance, you might consider the following option. instead of actually healing, it converts damage to subdual damage (effectively requiring the wounded to rest for some time before recovering fully).

    Cost of Adding Spells to Spellbook too high?

    There were a few spells in second edition that helped in this regard IIRC, though I can't seem to remember them (and my old books are in storage).

    Healing reserve feat?

    I would raise the spell level requirement to 5th, otherwise every good cleric can get 4hp/round free healing without "wasting" a spell slot due to spontanious cure casting. Even then, its debatable if it would be balanced. That or as Cheiromancer suggested it would need some other balancing limit.

    Is gaming without map and minis really bad?

    wow "Killer of Real Gaming Everywhere" tell that to someone who cant understand why thier fireball has to hit an ally when the target is being flanked by 2 said allies. I've played with people like that. It isn't that they lack imagination, or that they are stupid (well, not most of them) but...

    I really never liked those systems where everyone has the exact same skills. While I can see combining some skills, doing away with player choice in the selection of ranks is IMO a bad design decision. If I do get it, it will be the first thing I houserule. But I must say, I like the idea of...

    Is gaming without map and minis really bad?

    There is nothing wrong with not using a map and figures if everyone in your group has basic spatial reasoning. I have had quite a few people that just don't grok the ideas of distance, position, space or movement if they can not see it first hand.

    Iconic Monster Use - The Displacer Beast

    I love the Coeurl, great stuff. It just annoys me to no end that WotC claims to own the concept while there is a clear pattern of prior art dating back to the 1930's with A.E. Van Vogt's "Black Destroyer" and his later novelization "Voyage of the space beagle".

    eh... No skill points? don't like it. really don't. Personally I do like W/VP so I am sceptical if they can replace it with something better. Everything else seems good though.

    Microlite20 : the smallest thing in gaming

    because the DM lets the rogue get away with a lot of stuff using that skill that might not seem obvious? Its one of the reasons I suggested adding class features to the fighter and especially the rogue.
