I've decided to remove the bard's spellcasting ability for my next low-magic campaign. He retains bardic music and knowledge. Note that the campaign also features these house rules: - Characters begin the game with a number of hit points equal to their Constitution score. - They gain a...

I'm considering including gunpowder in my campaign and I was wondering if there were rules for such technology somewhere on the web. The rules in the DMG are far too basic and simple, not to mention that no one in my group would even consider taking an exotic weapon proficiency for those...

Charge and Impale [General] You can charge your foes with immense force and impale them on your horns. Prerequisite: Minotaur. Benefit: Instead of a normal charge attack, you can charge and impale your enemy. Charge and Impale is a charge that provokes attacks of opportunity from every...

I have made the minotaur a new race for players to choose and play. It is not important for me that the minotaur be an exact copy of the one in the Monster's Manual. Also, I won't post the fluff, only the crunch. Is it balanced? The Minotaur * +6 Strength, -2 Dexterity, -2 Wisdom, -2...

A class feature of the Incantrix is called "School Specialization" and reads: "Upon becoming an incantrix, the character chooses to focus her studies on protective and metamagic, forsaking other types of spells. In effect, the incantrix is a specialist in the school of Abjuration (gaining all...

Rirru Rirru is worshiped by corrupted druids and evil woodland creatures. Its titles are the Twisted Owl and the Sylvan Fiend. Rirru is portrayed as a three foot tall owl with overly long, gaunt and grotesque children-like arms. Its feathers are brown and its eyes are yellow with black...

My DM is considering starting a Temple of Elemental Evil (ToEE) campaign with only three player characters. As the adventure recommends (and seems balanced) for four PC's, what do you think the DM should do to compensate? We've thought about letting the PC's start out at a higher level, maybe...

Where can I find a complete list (or at least, a list of MANY) prestige classes for d20 and 3rd edition? I know there was one on the Wizards page, but I can't seem to find it.

Note: This prestige class was partially inspired by the Knight of the Chalice from Defenders of the Faith. There will be more flavour text later. The organization the exalted hunter of Amon-Kea is a member of, the Exalted, will also receive more detail later. Here is a very, very brief outline...

I'm having some problems coming up with original and cool abilities for the dwarves in my campaign setting. This is what I've got so far (I'll add more flavour-text later): Known as desert people and sand stalkers, dwarves roam the rock - and sand deserts of Mardukia. A nomadic people, they...

Damugathi The Writhing Dragon, Lord of the Lightless Cave. Demigod Symbol: A mutilated black dragon. Home Plane: The Lightless Cave. Alignment: Chaotic Evil. Portfolio: Darkness, caverns, self-mutilation. Worshipers: Society of the Mutilated Dragon. Cleric Alignments: CE, CN, NE. Domains...

Say the wizard is scorched by a powerful fireball, what happens to his spellbook? I ask because in reading Magic of Faerun I came across the section on spellbooks, protecting it, trapping it etc. Then I suddenly realized that in our campaign we treat a spellbook as though it is either: 1)...

After the Divine Silence, a withering spiritual emptiness marred the minds of the Khanesian people. The elves were convinced that some fault of their own drove the gods to silence and were thus driven nearly insane by grief and guilt. Few elves had strength to carry on after the cataclysm, most...

Aerlond (Large City, 13,984): Once known as Armoth-Tur, it became Aerlond (meaning freedom in ancient hafling) when the haflings rebelled against their masters during the collapse of the Mardukian empire. Haflings from across Mardukia joined their kin in proclaiming Aerlond on the ruins of old...

The Forest of White Shadows, located north of Ecliptea, is one of the most dangerous forests in the Broken Lands. Ever since the War of Fiends, the forest has been a sanctuary for devils and demons alike. The fiends have brought the eternal conflict between their respective races with them to...

http://www.marsdenarchive.com/select.html Suddenly I found the inspiration to start a Ravenloft campaign.

Anyone got Silver Marches yet? What did you think of it? It surprises me that the FR supplements receive so little attention. I can imagine why with the Silver Marches, as it is very campaign specific with little crunchy stuff. But Magic of Faerun was an excellent supplement, far superior IMHO...

How did Palpatine (Darth Sidious, the Emperor etc) get his powers? He appears to be both extremely powerful and intelligent. As one of the most potent force-using creatures in the SW universe, I'd really like to know how he became a sith lord. I know this is not covered in the movies, so I...

I find myself growing bored with D&D, and I'm looking for something different. With that in mind, I saw some reviews of Ars Magica. The game seems very, very cool. Would anyone recommend it?

The following are rough drafts of the character creation for my campaign. I've yet to add flavour and texture to the process, these are just the rules. Suggestions and constructive criticism would be appreciated. Notes: The Grim'N'Gritty rules are used in my campaign, but adapted for a...
