In my house rules I go into the detail on how to equip oneself with the different pieces of armor - greaves, pauldrons, helmet, etc, and how they are all treated different. It is even possible to have them of different materials. But now I am working on an equipment table to handle this and I'm...

OK, so after a couple of months what started as a few rule modifications has become a manifesto of custom rules. Here are my custom rules in their entirety, with a custom character sheet, for your review and crucification; House Rules Character Sheet

I am having the hardest time finding a resource that lists a bunch of medieval dishes. All I'm looking for is some variety for when the player's sit down to eat a meal at a tavern. I found the Kaiser's Bazaar series which has every last thing I'd need in a town - other than dishes! or an example...

Ok folks, The D&D Lifepath Tables are now at least complete, if not finalized. Let me know what you think and even better, try them out, flesh them out, and see what kinds of bafckgrounds you can come up with.

Before I get a deluge of links, let me say that I know there are plenty of dice rollers out there for download. What I'm looking for is one that doesn't have a GUI that looks like a calculator. Specifically, once that shows animated dice rolling when you press roll, and shows whatever random...

So trying to find the rules for a BAB that was split into Ranged and Melee AB, I came across this idea of making Attack bonus a skill. My first reaction was that this was a very broken idea - first level characters can have attack bonuses in the +5 or 6 range at first level with a decent ability...

I'm hoping the braintrust that is the ENWorld rule gurus can help me track this down. There are alternative rules in some d20 game (Game of Thrones maybe? d20 BESM? True d20?) somewhere that go over how to split BAB into Ranged BAB and Melee BAB. I have seen them but cannot remember where...

After some thought, the original house rule I presented here has seen some modification. Here is a quick run down on the original idea; It starts from the Game of Thrones rules (Grim n Gritty), in which armor doesn't add to armor class, it adds DR. The original rule was however much the roll to...

There is a standard set of house rules I use in my games presently or are planning on using, and although they seem to work ok, which is enough validation for me, I wanted to present them here to see what the populace thought of them. The first is Armor Piercing. This comes about because of...

While only those that have read Eragon will get this comment fully, I think the rest will get the jist of what I'm asking; So I wondered how to do magic in D&D akin to how it is wielded and used in Eragon. In the book it is much more kinetic, with it being wielded, countered, reinforced with...

Anyone out there know of a Character Sheet Maker? I tried doing a custom sheet to better serve Elements of Magic, but on Excel or Word it looks cheese-on-cheese. Any java or flash based or other some such programs out there to help a fella' make a half decent looking custom character sheet? :heh:

I was reading the post that discusses gay PCs and NPCs and couldn't help but note how often the issue of maturity kept coming up. In one of my previous posts ( Discourse on Gamers ) I was discussing the types of gaming I'd seen using High School to Doctorate to describe a progression. I made...

When will the taboo end?? On any given week you see commercials for the Kids Bop CD, for Get Rich Quick with Wireless Internet, for magical cleaning solutions that make clothes oh so white and all for $19.95, but somehow D&D, which in my opinion carries the age and following to be called a...

Hi all, I am working on a City Template that will hopefully allow me to populate my home made world with a wide array of cities. It also has spaces for relevant information that can help in building said city. What do you all think? How would you modify it? To give credit where credit is...

If you do, is there a wolfman creature in there. Again if this is yes, could you write out some of their basics - Medium or Large creature, HD, some stats and damage, and some flavor text as to what they are like.. This is related to another post of mine, but I needed to chase this rabbit down...

Alright you D20 monster gurus out there - I am looking for a race like the Wolfen from Palladium Fantasy, but in D20. For the 4 out of 5 of you out there that haven't played Palladium Fantasy, they are a wolf-human race that are about the size of minotaurs. They are not lycanthropic - they are...

OK, so I have this adventure I'm running tomorrow. Its great, up to the very last encounter and I wanted to get some thoughts on how to set this up. Here's a quicky on the set up - the party has travelled far into the wilderness, mostly by boat, to reach a remote wizard's lodge now long...

So what are your favorite online RPG stores? I try not to go Amazon if I can, although that 30% off with free shipping is sometimes too much to bear. But they have mostly mainstream stuff only. So, other than the titan that is Amazon, my favorite three are; 1.Sci-Fi Genre.com - local, if you...
