You might find a pharmaceutical sales representative and ask for one of those calendars that show the effects of gangrene in infected wounds. It really does make an excellent graphic to use and also serves as a very unusual conversational piece in the reception room. :p

An assassin.

I pick wild mint from the garden and add it to my pine needle tea. Does this count? :p

I've ruled that for falling you have to roll the distance fallen or higher on percentage dice or die. If they voluntarily jump I give them a +20% to the roll. If the roll is made and an additional saving throw at -1 for every 10 feet is made, they can walk away with damage equal to their HP...

You could always house rule in the AD&D rule where evil clerics can turn paladins and send them fleeing. :D

Google maps. Find a market town that you like and fill it in with what ever you desire.

For a difference you might consider having druids following a place spirit, such as the River Woman, Man of the Woods, etc.... Clerics could then following an emotional spirit, the Spirit of Love, Spirit of Hate, etc....

You could say that gods can do anything they want to, for, they are gods after all. However, the "domains" that they prefer are merely their chosen method of testing their faithful. It is simply part of their personality. Though who can truly understand the nature and motivations of the gods?

I trap/obstacle three main areas Places where very few people go: Why does the Viscountess keep the old tower locked? Old ruinous places: A burned out castle where the floor may or may not collapse. Things people should not touch/play with: You have the baron's lock box, what did you expect...

If there is to be a warlord I would like to see one that actually gains soldiers each level so that the player can go war about something or other. Perhaps gaining men at arms in a similar manner to the AD&D cavalier class. In addition upon reaching a certain number of troops the warlord would...

We use the paths from Talislanta as backgrounds and Talislanta's skill list. We have expanded the experience point level to slow progression and award one improvement point per thousand experience points that can be used to purchase new skills or improve existing skills and attributes. Similar...

The Elven paladin Elenestil. She was a tomboy who did all the things she felt her older studious mage brothers never or could not do. As the only daughter she was doted on and spoiled. She used her gifts and abilities to protect her country from a necromancer cambion warlord to the best of her...

Minimally as a house rule you could compare which slots were used and reduce each spell accordingly. A slot 3 sleet storm versus a slot 5 fireball results in the sleet storm being "cancelled out" and a slot 2 fireball.
