[QUOTE="Darrell, post: 4008986, member: 680"] It's been mine for a while now. :) Welcome t' the club. :D My experience, as well. We find m20's speed and free-form style suit us much better than rules-heavy games. [SNIP] I can see that. I rather like it. :) [SNIP] I can see this to an extent, but I can also see a use for spell resistant critters, and things like werewolves only being hurt by silver weapons are kind of ultra-traditional. I think it'd be better to drop such things to a bare minimum, but keep 'em around for special occasions. I like this, too, but have some reservations. Maybe some monsters should have an additional power or two; say, breath weapon and dragonfear for dragons, or something like that. For myself, I'm thinking about ritual magic lately. Instead of having magic item creation and high-level magic (raising the dead, communing with a deity, etc.) as 'spells,' make them ritual magic. In order to accomplish the effect, you'd need several things: - must gain access to the correct ritual formula (from a church or a high-level wizard) - must purchase or obtain any necessary items or assistance (possibly including a certain number of other spellcasters, at the DM's option) - must complete a number of successful ability checks in order to be successful in the rite (the number being determined by the DM) For example: Enchanting a sword to a +1 bonus might require the enchantment ritual (obtained from a fellow mage), a masterwork sword, the assistance of at least one other mage, and two successful Knowledge + MIND checks. What do you all think? Regards, Darrell [/QUOTE]
