I would say even the house slaves in Drow society will be forced to adapt or perish (their masters not being the forgiving kind – only being held back from killing them for a mistake by the fact that they'd need to find a replacement), therefore generally having a higher level (in whatever...

I would imagine it's the same reason that in the Dune universe the general "wild" Fremen commoner is far more deadly than the city dwelling Fremen (and I would say even those are more deadly than some soft, water world, commoners). Similarly, from the same universe, there are the Imperial...

And what if they're on a desolate wasteland being harried by the local overgrown wildlife with no henchmen in sight, just to name an example off the top of my head? The people I've played with throughout the years have never had henchmen – the only NPC's to tag along were always fully under the...

While this might work for some play styles, I don't think that I would enjoy this newly made character automagically appearing at the end of combat and being best life-long buddies with the rest of the party for no reason. The player had an idea they wanted to play out with the character, and...

What GX.Sigma said, yeah. You pick one form and you stick with it. Though I suppose having a larger selection through feats might be a nice idea. ^^

Yeah, I realize that. What I would like is to have a choice besides "Hound" for the level 1 wildshape form, with different stats/abilities, from which you have to pick one that you use. This would give some more variation. Hm, yeah, I suppose that could be how it is. The imagery available...

They're not as small as the arms of a t.rex, but to call them large and strong is a bit of an overstatement, I believe.

Hm, not sure how I stand on this packet. Some weird things I recall noticing while going through it: The Allosaurus has a claw attack - Which claws is it using? The ones on its feeble arms? Are these stats meant for a different dinosaur? Is it using its feet? The katana is a two-handed sword...

I'd prefer this as well. Paladin should be the 'Good' version. Knight is a title in a similar vein as being a baron or a count (as in, something granted to you by your lord), not so sure it would fit as a class name (and if anything, it should be more like the Warlord if it is).

delericho: I actually thought it was an interesting idea to give dinosaurs such names (maybe not call each and every one of them "something" behemoth, but still). I'd say it's much more likely that people would call it a "Macetail Behemoth" rather than "Ankylosaurus". I'd agree that both names...

Hm, from what I remembered other people saying: • Silver standard • Units based around yards/meters (you know, for the rest of the world which uses the metric system) • No "Always X alignment". Unless something simply can't grasp morality or ethics (like a mindless skeleton), it always has a...

Besides whether the Warlord heals wound, prevents damage, or whatever people want it to be able to do, it should NOT be designed to require a certain background and/or specialty. Since both backgrounds and specialties are supposed to be optional, I don't think you should be required to take them...

I'd like this to be the way they would do it. I know many people look down on the idea of point buy D&D, but this is exactly what my friends and I want to play (and no, we don't want to play GURPS or whatever, we want to play D&D).

I had the same feeling, to be honest.. Some of them look like they might be shaven dwarves, as well. That being said, I'm not sure if that's really a problem (depends on how you explain the races and their connections to each other). All in all, I like the current direction a lot more than the...

Can't exp you, but I'd say that looks pretty good!

I always cringe a little when people use (a variation of) this arguement. There are also things besides how D&D handles Classes that defines D&D, or how GURPS handles point buy character creation that defines GURPS. Me and my group are apparently one of few that actually liked the way 2e...

While I like the concept of weapon specialization, I also don't like being forced to throw all your things into one basket just to stay on top of your game. Instead, I would like specialization to give something other than numeric increases. Let it give more options, maneuvers, tricks...

If there's an issue with which name the sword should have, why not just call it "curved sword" (or "curved longsword" if you want to leave space for the wakizashi)?

I voted for everything except the one where players would never be able to create magical items. I believe it should be completely optional. I would also like to see several different ways of handling the magical item creation (3e, 4e, quest, some other ways, combinations of these, etc).

I play D&D with friends. I've had friends that tried to get into it, bought the PHB and all, but with their job taking up so much time, they only have time for it when we play the game. After a while, the group fizzled because the new players lost interest because they couldn't get into the game...
