[QUOTE="Stone Dog, post: 2184477, member: 16705"] As long is this thread is here, no point in starting a new one. How well/easy would it be to 'port in other setting's into True20 rules? I'm not just talking about critters here, but also side rules. Here is what I am talking about. I love Eberron. Crave it. The main problem I have is that it is D&D. The sheer amount of love I have for the setting throws how much of the rules (mostly just magic) and mindset (loot=victory etc) I increasingly loathe. I do have no small admiration for the d20 system though. It works, it is customizable and I can pretty much make it dance for me. However, since I have not seen True20 on the dance floor, I figure I can run this idea past the people who HAVE. these questions are a bit on the vague side I know, but I haven't even SEEN a compy (of course not, they are extinct) COPY of Blue Rose yet. Kind of hard to have good questions when you are fumbling about in the dark like this. Clerical magic bugs the living hell out of me. What I want out of clerics is turning/rebuking undead, bardic music (inspiring/motivating parables, preaching.. that sort of thing) and some faith based bonuses. The Priest class from Dark Legacies blended a bit with the Piety rules from testament seems just about perfect for what I want, but I just can't seem to track down a copy of the former. How easy would it be to simulate this sort of thing in True20? Arcane magic is halfway done for me (Black Company magic is the way I want to go for wizards) and I hope that soon enough the other half will click into place (Iron Lore's arcanist sounds about right for a sorcerer). The thing is that True20 seems to be set up with its own magic system in mind and I don't know how well another feat and skill system would mesh with such a thing. I have bards all set thanks. Carry on. It seems that Druids can be nicely simulated with plant and animal arcana. No problem there, but I really don't want to lose out on their shape shifting abilities either. Anything in Blue Rose that might help with this? Artificers are the main problem, but I think leaving them mostly the way they are already and making a set of "artifice" arcana would do fine. I just don't have any idea how such a thing would work as I don't yet have Blue Rose. This is all pretty much theoretical kitbashing right now anyway. My Eberron game is going just fine at the moment, but slowly building up your houserules can't possibly hurt. Much. ;) [/QUOTE]
