    Simplifying d20 Modern (lite version of the classes)

    Actually I've since posted it up on my website. This was created under D20 3.0 rules, long before 3.5 came out. I'm actually in the process of revamping and updating the whole thing to bring it more in line with D&D 3.5, Star Wars, and Unearthed Arcana, but if you still want to see it, you can...

    Simplifying d20 Modern (lite version of the classes)

    Hmm, could be interesting. I'd like to see it. I myself have done what I call D20 Modern Heroic, which took the prestige classes from D20 Modern, and turned then in 20-level core classes, incorporating the Talent Trees and such into them. It also included some templates for use in a...

    Opinions wanted on Paladin Variant I'm working on

    Hmm I hadn't noticed the 3 level spread, only the 2 level spread. Oh well, there went that argument...

    Opinions wanted on Paladin Variant I'm working on

    I cannot argue about the Divine Grace boost, but I'm not talking from a Power Gamer/Number-Crunch POV. It seems to me that a Paladin would have a strong will to begin, just to BECOME a paladin. I can't envision a 1st level Paladin having a crappy Will Save. I have long felt that the "you can...

    Opinions wanted on Paladin Variant I'm working on

    I tend to go with the Start Small & Build approach. I personally never liked how frontloaded the Paladin is, nor the fac that a class with Wisdom and Charisma as recommended attributes has such a crappy Will Save, but the tweaks I would make would "unbalance" related to other classes. Of...

    Opinions wanted on Paladin Variant I'm working on

    Actually the Paladin Spell Level tends to span 2 levels of Cleric. For example, if you check the entire 4th level Spell list, some like Restoration are 4th level Cleric Spells and a couple like Dispel Evil/Chaos are 5th level Cleric spells. I saw nothing wrong with grabbing a couple of 6th...

    Opinions wanted on Paladin Variant I'm working on

    I'm creating a paladin variant for my Eberron campaign that removes the Special Mount in favor of a somewhat improved spellcasting ability. Basically it adds a 5th level of paladins spells and lets you use spellcasting as early as 2nd level instead of 4th if you have a high enough wisdom score...

    What Authors Have Most Inspired Your Campaign?

    My biggest sources of inspiration are Roger Zelazny and Joss Whedon. Roger for the quick crisp way in which he paces everything. Joss for the gut-wrenching drama and off-the-wall humor I like to lace the games with to keep the players personally involved in their characters.

    The Immortals Handbook

    You'd be right if I meant Star Trek Five. I meant Star Trek Voyager. :) My bad... I should have been clearer on my acronyms. Depends on which source you use. According to the movie, Ra was the only one, and he looked like a white, glowing Grey with teeth. The TV series butchered the...

    The Immortals Handbook

    Heya, chief. Our thoughts are one. *shakes head* Sorry shouldn't be watching ST:V - Dark Frontier as I type this. I see most of the rank and file Goa'uld as just carriers for the genetic memory, nothing special. The average system lord (Apophis, Heru-Ur, Cronos) as being Quasi-Deity. Ra...

    The Immortals Handbook

    This is probably premature, given the impending release of this long-awaited supplement (i've been lurking here for years; even posted way back when Noah still ran the place). I'm running a D20 Modern game leaning a bit more to DnD and I've hit upon a question and I'm curious to see how you'd...

    The Vampyr-with illustrations, age categories, a PrC, & a half-vampyr template!!!

    One additional point: you say you want an accurate Dracula-style vampire. Dracula can go out in the daytime. Its in the novel and the Copolla movie. In fact, many of the original lore from Romania surrounding their idea of the vampire bears this out as not being for just the Impaler himself...

    The Vampyr-with illustrations, age categories, a PrC, & a half-vampyr template!!!

    Sorry about the delayed reply. Damn my ISP... So far, what you've got looks good. I'm trying to decide if I should replace the Nosferatu with your bloodline, or introduce them as a separate one. I may just use your vampyrs as another bloodline. In a small nod to White Wolf, I'm using the...

    Sorcerer Fix - Continued from "D&D Rules" (PART 2)

    I've been lurking around this thread for quite a bit. I must say,this is the best Alt.Sorcerer class I've seen yet. If you can find it, check out the old alt.sorcerer.domain for a rather comprehensive list of bloodlines/heredity spell lists, that would give some ideas for other heredities...

    The Vampyr-with illustrations, age categories, a PrC, & a half-vampyr template!!!

    If you want a more powerful version of it, check out Denizens of Darkness for Ravenloft 3.5 Edition. I can't reprint it here since its not open material, but they are essentially how White Wolf/Sword & Sorcery wrote up Dracula-style vampires. I can't remember all the powers off the top of my...

    D20 Modern Heroic

    We played an entire campaign and a half under the D20 rules and even at high levels it just didn't work out well for us. Two players only took two base classes, and on prestige class, and the complaints were still universal. I'm not saying there was anything wrong with the system, it just...

    D20 Modern Heroic

    The 4th level entrance is only if you custom tailor it to hit that class quickly. In two campaigns under D20 Modern, the average number of classes a character had was 4, primarily because someone wanted a talent or two for a different class. However, since most classes start with a +0 in...

    D20 Modern Heroic

    The basic problem is that it ONLY works for playing high schoolers trying to save the world. If you wanted to play an adult, the campaign has to start off at about 10th level. This was an attempt to reset the scale. Most D20 worlds assume a 1st level character is about 18yo. D20 Modern...

    D20 Modern Heroic

    Clipped this from my opening. I honestly don't know whats D20 Open License-covered or not, so if anything violates, I apologize and will remove this if politely notified. I'm about to upgrade the rules for my next campaign and wouldn't mind some input. I do think its a tad over-powered...

    [Deities&Demigods] Characters and Divine Rank 0

    *flips back through Faiths and Pantheons* How the FRELL did I screw that up? Oops. Well St. Cuthbert does, but as he's the only one, I'll consider him the exception, not the rule. Cool. And yes, the movement rate does double. For Medium size creatures (30 ft) it becomes 60 ft. I should...
