In my Dune-based campaign, the residuum is effectively the spice. Here're the rules regarding usage. Skip down to "Using Residuum as a drug" if you want to bypass the flavor text. Using Residuum [Note: These rules are intended for mature players seeking to simulate a very particular facet of...

Very basic math questions: 1. How do you, or do you, adjust the price of rituals for this house rule? 2. How 'bout residuum?

Great thread and well explained. With the prospect of having 7 players, fairly distributing treasure was a big concern to me. I might just go with your house rule. thanks!

That's a great setup, Firelance! As you mentioned, my current system has a variable element to it- due to the fact that without one it would be too easily turned into another element of the strategy of each combat. Knowing my players, unless something was going very, very wrong, they would...

Hello, looking for feedback on a house rule I'm in the early stages of revising. Right now, I've gotten mixed player feedback, so I'm looking for outside opinions. I've listed my objectives below. If you think the house rule fails to accomplish any of those, or have a recommendation about a...

Back in June I was grappling this notion of residuum as a basis for an setting's economy. See The Residuum Must Flow, a Dune concept setting, if you care to. The way 4E sets up spellbooks absolutely certainly makes for "intellectual property" and the use of residuum as a basis for the economy...

Not one to play thread necromancer, but it popped up in google. It's an interesting concept. If anything came of it, I'd be interested to hear.

Does this work? A character is immobilized. He readies an action to move when he is no longer immobilized. His turn ends, he saves and loses immobilized, then moves. A character is weakened. He readies an action to attack an adjacent target when he is no longer weakened. His turn ends, he...

"Languages: None" is more appropriate. Unless you prefer to follow the reasoning which suggests Necron simply choose to not speak. If so, please await contact from the Ordos Xenos. "How can these guys die?" It's a daily power. You just have to kill them twice... which is actually fairly...

It just seems like way too much neck sucking to me to have this be an encounter power... but I don't know about Racial Daily powers. Traditional vampires feed what... nightly? These 'freed spawn' who suffer none of their drawbacks might, on a heroic bender, chow down six or more times in the...

6/24 Update Time Periods Expansion After the discovery of the first lodestone, the wizards of the Kingdom of Solanthis developed a means by which they could detect and follow the leylines of the world. Some research on the matter already existed—the great cities of the eladrin were believed to...

Lots of points to cover! 1. My first post was simply a framework for applying a concept to the preexisting parts of DnD (portals, rituals, points of light, residuum). The work that I've done since then has been history work, and a little information on the non-human races that aren't...

Awesome- and welcome to the boards =D

Aww. What if I said the holdings are hundreds of leagues apart from each other? What if I said that villages were dozens of miles from the holdings, and that they're completely on their own in the wilderness? That a Noble House would not spare a military force to save a town if it meant...

Hm... I thought I had done so. "The Noble Houses The Noble Houses of the Empire are tasked with mining residuum and showing loyalty to the Emperor by offering a portion of their income to the Imperial Family each season. The Noble Houses compete with each other, typically indirectly, through...

Feel free- thanks for the positive feedback all =D

The Residuum Must Flow (A points of light setting) Concept So I was thinking of the points of light concept, and I realized that one of the most influential novels of my childhood, Dune, was a perfect example of a points of light setting. As seemingly boundless as the Empire in this novel may...

I don't get why the summoned marlin didn't flicker for a split second if time is dilating like that. Unless they actually called the marlin... but who would call a marlin? Or Perhaps the marlin came back, but not to it's exact spot on the hook... but that wouldn't be as heavenly as the debate...

Interesting... now is "base hd" defined as those in the original stat block, or as those in the advanced monster?

Alrighty, so I take a CR 5 aberration, advance it to CR 7 with extra hd, and then decide to give it non associated levels. I give it 14 of these levels. It is now CR 14; equal to a elf, human, etc who I could have given 14 class levels of any type. This... This confuses me. Unless I've...
