As a suggestion, convert all the D&D prices to gold, multiply by 10 and use the Modern d20 pricing chart. This will allow the characters to purchase a lot of low cost items (35gp- = $350-), but high cost items (50gp+ = $500+) will start to take a toll on the PC's wealth. Even with this price...

I haven't implemented any house rules for spells yet. However, I was thinking about making all the cure/inflict spells ranged touch spells with no level change.

I thought of one more: Having the GM (or game company for that matter) tell you that "You're in my (our) world now!"

Having to ask 101 divination questions before we can do anything. Having to ask 101 divination questions because there are no other sources of information available (ever). I guess all those social skills were really worth it :mad: NPCs or PCs that you just can't kill no matter how hard you...

Instead of creating new feats for the generic classes, you might want to consider talent trees (a.k.a d20 Modern). Using talent trees, you could recreate many of the other classes without having to create a slew of new feats. To recreate a Barbarian, you would have talent trees for Rage...

In all the D&D games I have played/run, I have never used spell components other than expensive/rare items. IMO, spell components seem to be what an apprentice would use. Namely, someone that doesn't fully understand the proper way to cast spells. The components serve as a helping hand for...

I think I would drop the initial Fort save. However, I would decrease the effect to 1d3 levels. Also, I would use the established rules for negative energy drains (24 hours and Fort save or permanent loss). This should be scary enough. I wonder what happens if/when the players get a hold of...

Hello, I guess that the shapechange spell allows outside types, but I wish that the description were more specific. It would have been nice if the description for shapechange simply said "You may change into any non-unique type of creature from fine to colossal in size that you are familiar...

I've used the Toughness variant with no game breaking results. I especially like it for villians because they have more staying power ;)

There is no reason that you can't use both. Perhaps CON provides a character's begining mana points, but CHA represents the refined use of the character's life force. Basically, CON provides a few begining mana points, but CHA adds mana per level.

Principled: A principled weapon is lawfully aligned and enhanced by the power of law. It always deals the maximum damage on its base damage die/dice (not elemental, alignment, or special attack damage). It bestows one negative level on any chaotic creature attempting to wield it. The negative...

I have a elemental rune system that I'm playing with. This is how I decided to attach each rune to an attribute. Element Attribute Notes Air Intelligence Dream/Thought Death Wisdom Completion/Foresight Earth Strength Might Fire Charisma...

Your DM won't allow your sorcerer to take the Arcane Preparation feat so that your character can qualify for the Mage of the Arcane Order prestige class?

I use option #1, but I also give the combatants a defense score equal to 13 + BAB + DEX mod. Why a base 13? I like combats to last longer :) Also, I use a step chart for weapon damage ("d2" for each +1) and weapon damage is open ended. An example: 3rd Level Fighter with STR 14 and DEX 12...

If you have Star Wars d20, you might look at the Noble class for ideas. Also, I tend to view aristocrats as resource rich. You might want to give the character control over some area with associated perks and flaws. Maybe as the character advances in the aristocrat class, the character gains...

I've never played a Spellfire wielder, but I see the biggest problem being the ability to retain charges. A possible modification would be to loose charges over time say one per minute or round. This avoids the charge up before bed phenomena (much to the disappointment of certain spellcasters...

I feel that the mage class is just fine as is. A 20th level mage should have a lot of power, but this mage only knows about 20% of the possible number of spell lists. EoM is designed to be a flexible magic system, but it also requires a mage to focus. A 20th level mage might have full control...

If you're looking for GMs, I'll take a step forward. I'm currently running two DnD campaigns, but I can certainly fit in a couple of one shots ;) Please give me some advance notice of when and where.

As a GM, I personally don’t like the Highlander mentality of handing out experience for foes slain/defeated. “As the hideous monster falls to the ground, the party sucks up some of the dying monster’s life force gaining strength and power.” :p My preferred method is to handout experience for...

I'm definitely interested in playing. So, set a date, time, and place and I'll make myself available.
