[QUOTE="Knightfall, post: 5187746, member: 2012"] The use of negative modifiers for ability scores is a sacred cow that I just can't let go of. I wouldn't use XP modifiers, however. I haven't used my homebrewed system yet. At this point, I'm just tinkering. I'm not a huge 4e fan, so I'm not as devoted to the idea of playing the game as say v.3.5 or Pathfinder. Cheers! Knightfall [HR][/HR] [B][U][SIZE=5]TANTUS[/SIZE][/U][/B] Tantus is the name I've given to a city that will be central to human civilization on Tarras. It will be the largest human city and will be to Tarras what Waterdeep is to the Realms or Greyhawk City is to Greyhawk. I haven't really given much thought to what Tantus will be about, but it will be a city full of decadence and strife hidden behind a veil of civility. There will be "haves" and "have nots," and the "have nots" will out number the "haves" by a wide margin.
