So thisis going to sound like the noob quesiton of the century.... How much does it cost the caster to create a 1st lvl sleep scorll? 25GP or 12.5 GP?

I am running my brand new group of players through Goodman games Idylli of the Rat King next weekend. 5 players all old time 2e players that have been away from the table for 10+ years, plus 1 player who is also a GM and is very seasoned on 3.X. I have read through the module and it seems...

I wanted to create a magic item for a primary recurring NPC in my campaign. He is the Captain Marshall of the main city in the campaign and he will be a recurring (ally) of the PCs. His name is Rhect the Ax because of his trademark belt (Baldric) that allows him to magically summon throwing...

I am incorporating the Class Def Bonus from Unearther Arcana into my game. It does not specify in the brief description whether or not you lose def bonus if you lose dex (i.e. flatfooted). It would stand to reason but does anyone know for sure??

Anyone ever seen a good write up of the Elfquest elves? In particular how you treat the bond animals?

I allow players in my game to use either the 4d6 methodolgy or a point buy system to generate stats, their choice. I have seen some folks suggest that they will allow a player to take a +1ECL (or higher I suppose) race as a +0 race but they have fewer points to generate ability scores...

I like how Monte Cook does item creation rules in the Arcana Unearthed and I want to adopt it for my E10 game. Can anyone point me in the direction of some discussion or modified house rules for Monte's take on the process?

I use a spell point system for my spell casters in my homebrew. One of the things I am contemplating changing is giving Wizards a "swap" out spell similar to the Cleric's ability to prepared spells for healing or a Druid's ability to spontaneously cast summon Nature's Ally. I was thinking of...
