Ow, my brain is full of fuck. Why oh why did I read and answer a post by that crazy Grogtard? Probably because the Gaming Den is a place where people angrily disagree with each other in the hopes of making theirselves and each other less ignorant. It's hard to curb that reflex for specific lost cau...

Monster and race fluff can be very handy for getting a rough understanding of the basic psychology of such creatures, and some idea of their role in their native habitat. I would like the fluff a lot more if it explained the actual consequences of the feat/item/spell/monster/whatever's existence in ...

Here's another one for you: Mana System by Virgil . Lower level spells are at-will until you start nova-ing. I think someone else made a system where some spells cost 1 while others cost all your mana (independent of how much you have), but I can't remember the magic words necessary to get Google to...

No, a bow is a twig tosser. It is not rifled. Your dragon rifles are squirtguns: they squirt little gobs or streams of acid or fire long distances. I grudgingly acknowledge that rogues and such would actually have to consider the pros and cons of dragon rifles versus flasks, especially in campaigns ...

Prak Anima's version lets you kill basically anyone for 150 gp, provided you have a henchman stupid enough. All Parthenon has is a squirtgun of death which does damage that you then stack with Sneak Attack or Death Attack dice. Oh, and you keep some Red Rifles in your pocket for when you need to bur...

sigma999: The spell points system you're thinking of reminds me of the Mana-Based Spellcasting variant rule that I can't link you to because the wiki is down. I believe the pattern was something like: You get a number of mana points per day equal to an ability score + half your level. Your highest-l...

For the DM fiat rules you desire, don't you want to simply change the random item charts to mostly contain tiger transformation items and artifact swords, and make sure that any real opponent comes with minion(s) that love to grind away at fighters? Animate Dead helps a bit with the latter: most of ...

The DCs stuff is just a more granular version of craft slots, with rolling; the FMA class converts DCs to Strain. You don't have the option to make up spells in combat if you play a Word Wizard. It may resemble an attempt to adapt the Epic rules for spell seeds to lower level casters, and I definite...

It doesn't slow down combats as much as you might think, since generally players pick a few favorite spells and tweak them to fit the situation.

If the party goes to study with the elves, you can choose to have them teach you Tracking, Archery, or Attuning Magic with Nature. If you want to learn Axe-Swinging or Pyromancy instead, the elves will be very upset with you. You could certainly make a game where you had a massive selection of items...

Yeah... it's probably way too expensive and way too ineffective to equip every one of your 1st/2nd level Warriors with a magic item, unless there's enough loot lying around to do so without wishing for it. Scrolls of sending would probably be your most cost-efficient military item, especially if you...

Some people seem to be opposed to this theory because it makes being a dirt farmer not horrible enough. To that, I present you: What people need and what makes them happy don't have to coincide. You know what's great about labor-saving devices? They don't necessarily mean that the people using them ...
