Okay, I see where you are coming from, but if that is what Avoraciopoctules meant I'm completely at a loss to explain how it answers the original question: how do you make both dragon and half-dragon appropriate power sources for a character without diluting the feeling of dragons. It feels weird i...

You can't copyright game mechanics. Like, at all. This is why retroclones have to be suffered to exist. Lamentations of the Flame Princess has the balls to be sold for actual money for "like someone else's commercial property but", so the Tomes probably could - though given Frank's prior b...

What's being proposed here is that you need to take X levels of a hypothetical base class called Dragon in order to play a dragon that should be a level X threat/contribution just from being a dragon. Maybe you are right, but I honestly have no idea how you are getting that from what Avoraciopoctul...

Cock Master 6 Cockfriend (Ex): At first level, the Cock Master develops such a profound love of cocks that any cock in his vicinity immediately rises to greet him. Any delicious, flightless avians in his presence have their attitude shifted to helpful. I'm surprised it didn't make it into this alre...

Or use a better solution than level adjustments? What do level adjustments have to do with it? A Wizard 12, Dragon 12 and Dragonspawn 6/Cock Master 6 should be able to go on adventures just fine. How is Give half-dragons a minimum starting level, and full dragons a higher minimum starting level? no...

That kind of falls apart if you have both a half-dragon and a dragon in the same party, because then the player playing the dragon just feels like a crappy dragon. Well, if that's your problem, then you need to play a game that specifically allows for characters of different power levels in the sam...

You aren't going to stick 14 classes into the PHB to replace the fighter, you want a fighter-y class for those people that doesn't force you to PrC out of it to be good. Beyond "that way lies a pit of horror and madness and a billion and one custom Elothar PrCs", is there a solid reason w...

He may be all like "Wouldn't it be way more awesome if like, you dislodged a rock and woke up a bear instead!? This dont make sense, sorry Whip. Thats not how the moves mechanics work. Again, the GM have a definite (and somewhat narrow) focus for improvising, which is informed by the character...

Now, shared ability lists. It is in fact possible to share ability lists without sharing resource management systems; you just have to have some method for adjusting the price depending on what resource management system you're using, whether that's a separate cost for each class, or tags which the...
