Unearthed Arcana Variant Rules - Previews and Questions

[Gundark]

I'm one of them... You may post your questions and I'll try to answer some in about 9 hours from now (because I need some sleep first). Good Night!

What are the variant hit point systems, also what are the defense bonus (like sw d20?)

 

[Trainz]

I have a few questions for the playtesters...

1- Are there new ability scores generation methods ?

2- What are the Paladin variant specs ?

3- I really like how that Players roll all the dice thing sound. Can you give us an idea how this works ?

4- What are Level independant XP awards ?

Thanks in advance for the feedback !


*drool*


edit: point 2

Argh. It doesn't look like they're bringing back the alternate abilities generation system of the original Unearthed Arcana, an Unearthed Arcana sacred cow if there ever was one...

Yeah yeah I know... munchkin and all that. Sue me.

No true munchkin would use an ability score generation system from any official source.

2- Is there a non-prestige class Paladin variant with no spells ?

That's in Complete Warrior.

 

[Trainz]

That's in Complete Warrior.

I know, but the one in complete warrior really blows. It's just more of a little footnote really than a complete alternative.

I changed my question number 2 for a better generic question...

*shrugs* I don't mind it. Its a non-spellcasting Paladin, a good Holy Warrior. It didn't need a whole table of abilities.

But since its already done in CW, I wouldn't expect to see that in UA...

EDIT: You can see the Paladin PrC over on the WotC site. Its definatly interesting.

I don't like it. Not my stuff.

In the Unearthed Arcana checklist, there's this:

-Paladin variants

An somewhere else on that checklist

-Prestige Paladin

So yes, there's at least a Paladin variant base class, maybe more. I want to know about those.

Please ?

I'm betting it's paladins of other alignments. At least, I hope it is.

Not that it really matters, but I think it's awesome. I'll almost certainly use it in my next game.

Well, you're a BoVD fangirl so...

Seriously, I'm glad the CW version suits your needs. Maybe UA has something even closer to your needs.

I hope so for my sake (Paladin fanboy...)
