Microlite20 - Minor Rules Expansions and Variants (73) Microlite20 Vampire: ? Undead, Undead Critter: ?

The Microlite Campaign (65) Microlite20 Wight: ? Zombie, Walking Dead: ?

Anything where magic/psychic abilities are in born and magic users are feared. Wheel of time comes to mind. There is the Tower which teaches skill but the power is just in certain people and not others to start. The White Cloaks hunt down those with the power. So some versions of Merlin are he...

The last time I used charm person as a good PC I used it to interrogate bad guys instead of intimidation. I was really sick of threats of torture coming from other (not good) PCs. I remember using it on a guard and taking him out to lunch/buy drinks at a bar off duty to get him to chat and...

The drawback of temporarily licensed titles. I always wanted the old DC Magic, Watchmen, and Whos Who sourcebooks. I would like to get PDFs of old Doctor Who, MERP, The Willow Sourcebook, Thieves World, and others as well.

My order of the physical 2024 D&D Monster Manual arrived. The only physical book I ordered all year.

I think it is going to vary a lot based on the actual cosmology, the specific magics available, the specific gods involved, and the history of the world and its cultures. D&D afterlife varies - in 4e the gods of knowledge and death do not know what happens to souls after they leave their period...

I've done the reverse. :) I played a (pathfinder 1e) sorcerer with the stars (mythos) bloodline where his noble family generations earlier had engineered a mythos encounter/event thing in their ancestral hall to develop a sorcerous bloodline among them.

I answered in the original thread straight, answering the title question, giving reasons to play 1e.

It doesn't give you magical knowledge, it gives you magical power. Anybody can make a pact, it does not require any study or learning or work the way wizardry does. Anybody can make a pact, not everybody is born with magical power. You could narratively say a pact was how you gained sorcerous...

Harry Potter Wizards are D&D sorcerers like Jedi are, they just have a school. Just like the X-Men of born mutants have a school.

The big thing to me is the story elements. Sorcerers are inborn natural magicians doing a few things but doing them with power and some natural bending to make those things go different ways. This works also conceptually as the same concept as monsters with inborn magic like dragons. The...

Gygax did provide a sort of example 1e shop that sells curing potions in the Temple of Elemental Evil. In the ne'er do well town of Nulb there is Mother Screng's Herb shop which has three jars of Keoghtum's ointment she will explicitly sell to good parties after they prove themselves going into...

Microlite Monster Building (63) Microlite20 Undead: ?

According to the 2024 SRD kobolds are now base neutral and not evil. Hobgoblins are base LE. Goblins are base CN. Bugbears are CE. Drow, Gith, and Tieflings are not in the 24 MM (just some conversion notes for the drow), and the 24 PH entries does not say a lot about the drow and tieflings.

I would not say 1e assumes humans are LG at base. The 1e MM puts them all over the alignment map for different professions like merchants being neutral, pilgrims covering all five alignments (it was written post Holmes Basic five alignments but before the development of the PH nine alignments)...

Microlite20 Purest Essence (9) Microlite20 Undead: ? Ghoul: ? Shadow: ? Skeleton Warrior, Undead Skeleton: Animate Dead spell. Vampire: ? Wight: ? Wraith: ? Zombie, Undead Zombie: Animate Dead spell. 4th-Level Arcane Spells Animate Dead: Creates level X2 HD of undead skeletons or zombies.

Page 125 in the 2014 PH So for a mixed background go with a mix of appropriate skills and maybe a tool proficiencies. Your soldier farmer concept could, 2014 rules, start with a soldier background and swap knowledge nature for intimidation and maybe farming tools for the gaming set.
