I like the three levels of complexity mentioned by Nellisir, and I'll chime in to say my favorite number of subraces is on the low-end of the scale. Let's see: Dwarf - Hill/Gold/Duergar Elves - Gold/Moon/Sylvan/Drow Half-elves - Half-elves/Half-drow * might make these separate races* Humans -...

Tales of Maj'Eyal? On the topic of arcane/divine/psionic: we have a class Supernatural -creates supernatural effects under that we have subclasses: Arcane - powers used by wizards/sorcerers Divine - powers used by priests Psionics - powers used by psions Am I parsing the OP's ideas right...

Are you excited for BG2EE?

I agree that feats are scarce and while we can cut down on the number of skills, converting them into feats isn't the way to go. However, all the points about skill use are valid. I would add that we have a top limit on skill values and modifiers to avoid situations described in the blog...

That's a very good question.

What's "real positioning"? And IMHO d20 boils down to both d20 + mod vs. DC and incremental advancement of some sort (your call of how big/small the increments are). I think the main reason it's so popular it's that the same core mechanic is used for very diverse characters/archetypes/whatever.

Why wasn't it moved? Also, I have an idea - what about making it a Magitech setting? the Technology part would help explain some stuff...

A friend suggested I move the Denton's birth. Here's my reply: A. Jensen was 25 in 2018, when Paul was born. Moving Paul's birth to after HR (=2029) would mean Adam was 35 when Paul was born. Also, it would cause JC's birth to be moved further ten years (=2039) and Alex's birth would...

How do I fold the sblocked text under a neat button? Or was this functionality removed for some reason?

World Timeline The campaign can take place at any time starting from 2013 onwards. Locations Battery Park In 2052, the NSF use Battery Park as a small base of operations for naval transport. By the time the player arrives, the NSF have barricaded themselves within Castle Clinton. While the...

Equipment Starting equipment and ammo does not count against inventory size. An item’s inventory size is 1x1 unless noted otherwise. Lockpicks, medkits, multitools and the like stack. So do explosives and knives and throwing knives. The max size of such a stack is 20. The total inventory size...

Character Creation The Player notes down the character’s first name, last name, gender, codename (if applicable) and profession. The character has 5000 EXP at game start. It can be spread in any way the Player wishes. Every character starts with Trained in Pistol. If it is downgraded, the...

Rules General Rules A single turn equals 5 seconds. K% dice are used for tests. To succeed, you need to have a result lower or equal to the DC. If not specifically mentioned, modifiers do not stack. A character walks with the speed of 9 m a turn; if crouched, the speed is halved. Running...

Notes A/N: I am aware of one unfinished attempt in English and one unfinished attempt in Polish. Four posts below are reserved. They will be filled as I finish each of the subsections. *** · Removed all mentions of UFO since the Greys were counter-climactic, both in power and appearance ·...

I've started a conversion of Queen of the Spiders some time ago, but did not get much done.

My fav edition is 3.x. 1) I want the supplement frenzy gone. And the feats/classes completely invalidated by later supplements. 2) I want the CR gone. 3) I want the multitude of options gone. There were simply TOO many of these, and many much worse than others.

So what do the Basic, Standard and Advanced mean? 'Cause I'm not seeing anything definite...

Stormonu's list is nice, but in practice it might lead to severe MAD or characters who are completely average across the board. I'd prefer 4e's method.

I fixed the point buy table and stressed the added dice for Skill tests. Also, AC now uses Reflex and various environment checks use Endurance. I think since I added additional attributes, d20-derived saving throws are no longer necessary. Also, I think there should be more than 32 points...
