The gamers in my group and myself love the Shadowrun setting. We've only ever played SR3 and SR4 but unfortunately both are too rules heavy for our taste. More to the point perhaps, combat is too slow and kind of clunky (we don't mind complex character generation and complex rules are fine to...

I don't know if this discussion has been had before but I'm wondering which people think is a better support class between marshal and bard? Marshal's auras don't take time to activate like a bards music or spells so he can continue to take other actions. Bards get more skill points but have...

I can see why moving around would give you a benefit AC but I can't figure out why it'd increase your damage. Any opinions on why the Scout's skirmish ability pumps up damage?

"For a humanoid creature, the new incarnation is determined using the following table. For nonhumanoid creatures, a similar table of creatures of the same type should be created." What kind of creatures should be included on the table for a minotaur? Monstrous humanoids? Bovines? Human? Giants...

What kind of character concepts do you think this variant is appropriate for? I'm not interested in weather or not it's a balanced alternative to rage. I'm just interested in what character archetypes, character concepts etc this variant is meant for. Thanks for your opinions. PS: This...

If a tome/manual is read that is cursed with some kind of drawback how would the PC go about removing that curse? It seems unbalanced to simple allow them to cast remove curse and get rid of the curse and keep the benefit. I think the best solution would be allowing remove curse but it causes...

Multiattack says it's prerequsites are to have 3 natural weapons. One of my PCs is a werebear and he says he qualifies for the feat because he has 2 claws and a bite attack. I'm not entirely sure that those count as 3 natural attacks. Who is right? Thank ya.

In the session of my game there will be a monster with a special ability and wild magic effects that could randomly polymorph PC(s) (and anyone who happens to be around in the case of the latter). So what I want is a list of 100 creature that they could be transformed into. So I would...

One of my players wants to take the Divine Infusion epic feat presented on the wizards website, I'm concerned it could be overpowered. So you don't have to go there to reference I'll put it here: Divine Infusion [Divine] [Epic] You can channel divine energy into your body and mind to...

I'm thinking of making a paragon minotaur class (like the paragon classes in unearth arcana) for my campaign. And I'd like input on special abilities to give it and balancing the class. So far the only interesting ability I can think of giving the class is this: Improved Gore: Whenever the...

One of the PCs in a game I'm running wants to play an awakened skeleton. So I said sure why not. As we figured out what sort of modifications it would give his character (and how much the ECL would be) we realized he wouldn't be able to heal naturally like a living creature in D&D. So I told...

I've decided to run a d20 modern game using grim and gritty revised rules. A few days ago I looked them over decided I liked them and got group of people who are willing to start playing within the next week. After looking throgh them again I realized that the size of your hit dice doesn't...

In the final epic battle of my campaign a few days ago the sorcerer casted a repeating (tome and blood) wish (he took improved spell capacity 4 times), since he had a butt load of 'excess' xp I didn't worry about it at the time. But looking back on it I was wondering if he would have to pay 10k...

I making a conjurer for my friends new 3.5 game (reminiscient of my ould conjurer from AD&D). And I'm wondering what schools are the least damaging to give up? I'm definitley keeping abjuration and transmutation, they have just too many useful bread and butter type spells. And I'm proably...

Would it be balanced to allow hide in plain sight and death attack (DC 10+1/2 Rogue level+ int. mod.) as rogue special abilities. I thought of this idea 3 or 4 days ago and have toyed around with it and decided to see what you all think. I don't paticuarly like the assasin class or the shadow...

Anyone know if some one has done a 3e or 3.5 conversion of this module and where I could find it? Thanks.

If psionics are powers of the mind then how do strength, constitution and dexterity have anything to do with using them? I just want to know what the justification for it is because I really like how each discipline is linked to a different attribute but I just can't figure out a semi-logical...

I've decided to start running a d&d game taking place in the Eastern Mediterranean (with a little magic, but almost no magic items, and mythological creatures aboud). Anyone have any advice for trying to run such a setting? Anyone ever try to do so before? I'm not going for historical accuracy...

How would slow suffocation work? Such as crucifiction. Thanks.

I'm trying to create a type of spear to represent how a greek hoplite would have fought in combat. I was thinking it'd pretty much be long spear that could be used one handed. Would this be exotic or martial? If it's somewhere in between the two would also reducing the penalty when using a...
