Message: <blockquote data-quote="Dannyalcatraz" data-source="post: 6339488" data-attributes="member: 19675">I'm not much of a modifier.  If something doesn't work for me as-is, I simply don't buy it, make do or replace it completely.For instance, I AM an avid guitarist.  One thing many guitarists of is tweak their electric guitars with new pickups.  Others will upgrade tuners, the nut, the bridge.  Bolt-ons sometimes get their entire necks replaced.Well, I own 16 electrics, and to date, only one has had its pickups replaced: it was a luthier's #1, and the pickups simply died.  They were defective.  No other guitar I own has any other part replaced, save one which had to have a knob replaced (its threads were worn smooth, and it just fell off), and the replacement knob was identical to the original.I also prefer buying Mac products, go figure.Don't get me wrong, I DO fiddle around with RPG systems.  But I don't reinvent the wheel.  I adapt the tools the systems give me to new purposes.  So, in D&D, I might reskin a race, or change the elemental keyword of a spell.  I have even done Incarnum versions of many of the OA & PHB Classes.  I am working on re-doing the undead/magical "Energy Drain" system to something cleaner.  But I'm doing that by my usual method of repurposing another system within the game, <a href="http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?335683-Brainstorming-Revising-Energy-Drain-for-3-X" target="_blank"> namely fatigue coonditions</a>.  (The chore involved is in finding all instances of Energy Drain type abilities, and establishing the rate at which conditions accrue.)What I don't do is make a modular catch-all character class for D&D because HERO does that so much better.  Ditto point-buy magic systems and many of the other mods I've seen people discuss here, almost all based on stuff from other games.</blockquote>
