[QUOTE="Greg K, post: 9780344, member: 5038"] Prabe, First let me thank you for the response Cool. ok, I will try to look at other sources on Drivethrurpg and the Kobold Press website to see what is available. What I had in mind for variants: [LIST=1] [*]Lineages: a variant for using 2014 D&D racial ability modifiers (or, maybe, capping strength for smaller Lineages) [*]Heritages: an alternative ability for those that gain a spell after first level. [*]Classes [LIST=1] [*]variants that offer classes a choice at 1st level similar to [LIST=1] [*]TOV's Cleric's Manifestation of Faith; [*]3.5 D&D Unearthed Arcana class variants such as Barbarian Hunter, Divine and Savage (Primal) Bards, Urban Ranger, Wilderness Rogue that modify some class features and, if appropriate, the spell list used; [*]3.5 D&D Complete Champion's Spell-less Paladin (Holy Warrior variant) and Spell-less Ranger (Champion of the WIld variant) and Kobold Press's Spell-less Ranger class for Pathfinder 1e [/LIST] [*]a variant for 2014 class level subclass aquisition (or even having all classes getting subclasses at 1st level) and modifying a subclass's feature acquisition accordingly; [*]with regards to spell lists, I was referring to a variant/guidance for switching a class's spell list source or even bringing back individual class spell lists rather than TOVs spell list by source. [/LIST] [/LIST] These sound like they can be worth checking out. I really wish Kobold Press would do a 3e Unearthed Arcana checklist of all variant/optional rules. Yeah, I got the feeling that the GMG is less a core book than the 2014 DMG and is more useful for experienced GMs than the 2024 DMG. Thanks again! [/QUOTE]
