[QUOTE="AFGNCAAP, post: 1381341, member: 871"] I like a lot of the stuff I've seen in this book. However, I'll propbably use more options in 1 setting that I will in another. For example, in 1 campaign, I'll probably use these: [list] [*]Races from different terrains (aquatic races, desert races, etc.). [*]Variant paladins: the CG paladin will be an "Avenger," the LE paladin will be a "Blackguard" (I'll drop the PrC), & the CE paladin will be a "Ravager." [*]May use domain wizards (possibly instead of specialists) [*]Character traits & character flaws [*]Item Familiars [*]Incantations [*]Contacts [*]Reputation (possibly) [/list] In addition, I'll probably use: the "playing LA-adjusted characters" rule from the WotC website (I want to allow githzerai as a PC race for new/1st-level PCs); the 3.5 update for OA in April's [I]Dragon[/I]; and the new/upadted/expanded/revised psionics rules. However, for a Lankhmar-based game, I'll use these variants: [list] [*]Generic classes [*]Incantations [*]Contacts [*]Reputation [*]Action Points [*]Character traits & character flaws [*]VP/WP [*]Defense Bonus (though more like the d20 Modern version rather than the 1 in UA) [*]Taint (for the corruption that some Lankhmar wizards face using evil magic) [/list] And, for a possible game based on a story setting I've been working on: [list] [*]Generic classes [*]Contacts [*]Reputation [*]Action points [*]Character traits & character flaws [*]Incantations [*]Item Familiars [*]Domain wizards (or rather, Domain Spellcasters) [*]Spell points (maybe) [*]Defense Bonus (more like d20 Modern than UA) (maybe) [/list] Plus, there'll be a few other options/changes that I'll throw in: high spellcasting ability modifier adds to # of spells known (& not just spells/day); different character races; knowledge/use of spells outside of the # of spells known via a combo of spellbook, components, & incantations; variant item materials; etc. This book totally rocks! (IMHO :) :D ) [/QUOTE]
