Count me in.

Me, my cats and my dog are all rooting for Moxie.

Gotta ask again since it looks like the original question was buried between other discussions: can you tell us something more about this? It sounds very intriguing.

Ok, I'll bite: can you tell us something more about this? It sounds very intriguing.

From the SRD

So far I've used the Death and Dying rules as presented on WotC's site and saving throws for PCs choose between the best of 2 ability scores to determine their bonus -Str/Con for Fort, Dex/Int for Ref and Wis/Cha for Will-. I've also been using Monte Cook's rules for HP and Breathers -which work...

Actually, the rules do say you can't:

Passive skills: Not just perception, but also Knowledge and Survival. It makes it easier to give info to the players without needing them to ask for it. Besides, this helps me create better encounters -since now I have to think about what each PC knows in each encounter/area- Saving throws: the...

3.5 Core books, one 3 ring-binder with campaign and session notes, 4 or 5 dice sets, a measuring tape and 2 small cases of 1 inch poker chips. I might also pack some other book at the request of a player who doesn't own it and wants to check it out, but that's it.

DMG 3.5, page 110. It's right under the "Handcrafted NPC" entry.

Personally, I'd prefer to base them more along the lines of the 4th edition roles; but I think that both options are possible. However, I would tie HD, skill points and saving throws to the monster role and not its type/subtype. Something more like: Brute:HD 12, BAB Good, Skill points per...

Any ideas on how these combat roles for 3.x might look like?

It's something I've also been thinking for a while. Given that I already have to rewrite statblocks for my modified 3.5 game, it wouldn't bother me THAT much.

Uhm... no. Quoting from the SRD: "Unlike with attack rolls and saving throws, a natural roll of 20 on the d20 is not an automatic success, and a natural roll of 1 is not an automatic failure." Actually, I hate that too. In my actual campaign, cross-class skills cost 1 skill point per rank...

Nice recap and explanation, Achan. However, I'm still not sure about the bonuses to AC and saving throws -particularly the +5 bonus to for a solo monster-. I really like the idea of a monster that can keep fighting for a long time, but can be hurt by the PCs. I'll definitely try to use your...

I've been thinking about using elite and solo monsters for 3rd. Edition, but haven't actually tried them. Care to tell us how your implementation has been working, Achan?

I tried to do that in the past, but really never paid off. Now, with my new gaming group, I tried something different -Ryan Stoughton's idea on this thread- and it has worked like a charm. Basically, during the first session after character creation I asked the players to create 3 drives for...

Found out about your Obsidian system, Stalker, 2 days ago and I really liked it. My players for today's session loved it -and we don't even play 4th edition yet-. Congrats on a great addition to the game!

Dragon Compendium, Volume 1. It had some "Bloodline" feats for sorcerers which work kinda like domains for clerics (choose an ancestry, gain a fixed extra spell known per spell level you can cast, and you are prohibited from learning some other spells: ie: Anarchic bloodline means you lose...

There's a shadowborne template in the Book of Templates
