[QUOTE="James McMurray, post: 1501175, member: 743"] My group has fallen in love with the versatility availble tot he classes in the XPH and wants to try it out, so I'm about to start a campaign with th players only using the XPH as character creation. We'll start at level two, which means any race except the Thri-kreen can be played. I'll likely introduce a couple of new feats to allow players to partially mimic not having a roue or leric. I was thinking of the following: [b]Rogue Training[/b] Prerequisite: Int 13+, Dex 13+ Benefit: You gain the trapfinding ability and Serah becomes a class skill for you. Thus you may find traps whose DC is higher than 20. [b]Born Healer[/b] Prerequisite: Wisdom 13+ Benefit: When you use Empathic Transfer to heal another, you only take half of the damage you heal. Alternatively for that second one I might introduce a 1st level power that heals 1d6 damage to another. Augmentation would be +1d6 per two power points. Any ideas? Things I can use to help make the game run smoother or more entertaining? Flames for such an idiotic idea? Note that the world will not be psionic only, but the area the party starts in will defnitely be more psionic than magical. The region will have no organized religion, with empaths and herbalists acting as the primary source for healing. Depending on their skills, the characters may not even know that gods and wizards exist until they stumble upon their works. I've picked out an old classic adventure to run, but don't want to mention it because I don't know if my players read here or not. Suffice it to say that its almost as old and as classic as you can get. :) [/QUOTE]
