I'm not sure you've covered everyone with these niches. Where do you put the smart character who uses his wits in small-scale combat to outsmart his opponents?

I would be interested in setting up a Living world, as well. I'll keep my eye on this to see what's developing. :)

Ouch. 3d6 in order is tough on characters when the campaign gets to higher levels. Might I suggest you point out this link to your DM? Sorry I wasn't able to suggest this earlier. My router kinda died on me on Tuesday. :(

I voted for the last option because it's the closest you have to "Other". I have rules that make the issue irrelevant after a few character levels, and from playtesting starting with 3d6 in order, they're very functional and quite popular.

Maybe it was just an email with the same topic, then. Hrmm.

There are only three sizes. "Wee", "not so wee", and "frickin' huge!". :p

:) I knew another one would eventually join in on putting this thread in their sig!

I think I prefer Return to the Orc and the Pastry and Revenge of the Orc and the Pastry.

Welcome aboard. To both. :]

LightPhoenix is right. Hell, look at me! I went to college for one semester and tried to be a loner, and I made a lot of new friends! I can't wait until I can afford to go again. :D

I stuck with 3.0, but took what I liked out of 3.5. That's where 3.2157 comes from. :) Seeing as many of the changes are either ones my group had already made or ones I would never make, fully converting was nonsensical.

Quoted for troof! Haha, it looks like my bloodletting is finally affecting you, Artificer!

I'm still in 3.2157 and I'm not raising that number any further until 4E comes out (I'll consider upgrading then, but not likely)! For most gamers I'd recommend a 3.34 blend.

There's a feat in Elements of Magic - Revised called Reactive Counterspell, which allows the character to cast a counterspell as a swift action, but they lose a (standard?) action in the next round. I'm building a Dispel specialist, so we'll see how it works out. I think the problem is that...

Other. I use Classically Modern and the character's starting Occupation may list illiteracy.

I run a lot of d20 Modern, so healing magic isn't often something that is even possible to obtain. First aid kits and medical kits are more commonly seen, and the PCs carry plenty of extra supplies in case they have to hole up somewhere to recover from a fight. On the rare occasion that I...

#OpenGaming is the channel. #dnd3e has pretty much the same people, though.

The listed Str bonus is only for uses of the spell that pertain to bull rush, trip, grapple, etc. attacks at range. The other function of the spell is separate, so the numbers do not have to correlate in any fashion.

What about ones that encourage players to create fun characters and worry less about optimization, or ones that make ability scores more fair among the party members, without sacrificing random rolls? :)

Emphasis mine. There's your easiest solution to the problem of homesickness. :D
