Okay, looking for intelligent contribution here... A minor annoyance I've always had with every edition - I know the 3-18 spread is historical to D&D, but I would like a change in an ability score to mean an immediate and proportional bonus and/or penalty. For example, I'd like a -2 change...

Attacks of Opportunity/Opportunity Attacks need to go, for two simple reasons: 1) They are complex in such a way that they deter new players. Hell, they even deter old players. I GM'd a campaign with experienced players last summer, and it was shocking how many didn't get the concept. There is...

Ladies and Gentlemen, Wondering if anyone out there has attempted using a mass combat system for Pathfinder, which allows for heroic, LotR-style battles, with the PCs as full participants/commanders. This last piece is always difficult to achieve - you need to be prepared to break PCs down...

Experienced DMs, I want my 3.5 to go faster and I want to move from a tactical miniatures game to something faster and more narrative. I DM'd this way early on when Ifirst bought 3.0 because I couldn't be bothered to understand the AoO and 5' step rules. But now the players all know the...
