150 years of sapphire rushes and a monopoly on a luxury item... and the city is only 10,000 people? Why? That's wealth and time enough to attract a lot more residents.

Remove disease is a little lame as an ability anyway, particularly one that increases with level. From the healing touch of Kings and all that. You could just make it a once per day thing. You could also make Lay on Hands affect only the paladin himself. The ones who are 'laying' on others...

Good plan there, including BAB and such... I also added that the Brawling bonus is applied to damage as well as trip/disarm/grapple attempts. How does that look? Would increased dice be better?

I don't have the splatbooks in front of me. Quick n' Dirty idea... Brawler Whether dockside thugs, wrestlers, or martial arts experts, the brawler is a tough customer to face with or without a weapon. HD: d12 Requirements: Improved Trip, Improved Grapple, Improved Unarmed Strike Attack...

On the matter of the Lady, an otherworldly nature is just a tad cliched for a mysterious ruler figure. Better yet would be a sort of curse of the mind she can hold off, except in the months around the winter solistice. Leave it vague until an appropriate current or historical regional nemesis...

I suggest that 'Consuming a Meal' should be a little more elaborate. When I read famine, I pictured a figure immediately made gaunt- not skeletal, but suddenly lacking all excess flesh. I would imagine he could heal damage normally, but it would require triple normal food intake, and magic...

Anyone know if that bonus disc is going to be a regular sale item? Like the games, but never got a N64.

'Canon' for D&D rules seems to be those which everyone implicitly agrees are part of any rules discussion. More or less, this means the three core books, and to a lesser extent the splatbooks, and an even lesser extent all non-adventure, non-setting material books WotC produces.

Don't forget 5th level druids for plant growth.

I also prefer that the players not actually know there alignment- they make up a background, roleplay there characters, and the alignment dependent affects will come as they come. Playing in Star Wars, without alignment, gave me the idea. My character was pretty obviously LN, but by not...

I generally don't like spells that try to balance themselves with internal penalties. Basically, you are granting a variant Barbarian Rage and Improved Unarmed Strike with elemental damage for 2 rounds per level. Trade-off is Xtreme Fatigue & uncontrollable actions. Given what this is, I...

Remember that 1d6 damage is enough to kill white elf children/adolescents in an hour or two. Personally, I suggest making that 1d6 subdual damage, at least. You generally don't die from sunburn in two hours... and a penalty to saves can take care of death by dehydration. I agree with Guilt...

I think its important to separate magic and technology into two. This could be as simple as saying Early Pre-industrial Tech + Early Pre-industrial magic = Middle Pre-Industrial Era. Without considering the difference, there is no way to model a nation with more magical power than tech. Not...

The main point of my post was not defining a rich nation, but thinking about some of the things that go into make a country rich & able to reduce the number of people producing food. From a world-building standpoint, those are important things to remember. I don't know if its important, but...

Define 'Richest Society' -Fertile land, mellow & predictable weather. -Strong Economy for Food Importation -Druidy Miracle Grow Magics -Comparatively advanced agricultural practices Just how Rich this is depends on both Tech-Era and Blatant High Magic Rating. For a standard D&D...

I don't know, I'm having a conspiracy theory of Sikozu as half-Scarran. When did it say Bioloid's have heat powers? Also, I'm confused by wondering what Scorpius is all about. At this point, it seems very clear to me that he is very focused on saving the Sebatians- the half of his blood that...

I prefer the 'adventurer' concept to only be in the beginning of a campaign, when the motivations for being heroic are unclear. Once a little momentum is built up the part shouldn't just be wandering troubleshooters, but people with long-term goals (be it survival, or otherwise) that they are...

I have been working on something similar in concept. In my campaign, I have no specialist wizards, instead, I have the Arcane Specialist PrC. In general, the current draft looks like this... HD: d4 Reqs: Spell Focus(chosen school or descriptor), Spellcraft 7 ranks Skill Points: 4 + Int Skill...

I suppose my point on Legendary Campaigner was that if you were, in fact, a legendary campaigner but you were a loremaster... you might still get that advantage. Anyone of legendary notoriety should gain a significant bonus when dealing with people aware and affected by their reputation. As...

Third tier- vary the skill points involved... Low: 4 & cross class High: 4 & class skill Middle: 3 & class skill Interesting idea. The problems will start to crop up when you start adding the next layer of detail...
