Is there a better (by which I mean has less connotations of being correct and morally good) word for 'rights' which gets across the idea that in some situations people have the legal and socially acceptable option to have sex with 8 year olds and there is nothing stopping them? Because at the moment...

I was just reading a game article and it was saying that: Even though traditional houses like Electronic Arts bought into the Zynga-led ecosystem, the Facebook bubble has clearly since burst, validating a lot of those early concerns about the integrity and viability of that kind of game design. Now ...

How would the idea of heavy armour being a buff work? So putting on heavy plate armour is a huge hassle, stops you doing anything else useful, but makes you incredibly tough in battle. So, most of the time you have light or medium armour for general adventuring around a dungeon, but you buff for an ...

to call people out as being incompetent shitbags But why not just call them incompetent shitbags, or say that they should be ashamed to be alive, and that they're a worthless waste of resources and a terrible burden on the rest of humanity? Or call them gay or something. Yeah, that's a really good ...

Take Harm is AW most controvertial rule for me, because it breaks the logic behind player dice rolling. In my group we dont use it, and simply apply the different outcomes depending on the situation.

Any way of doing the perform check as an attack roll is bullshit. It both ignores bonuses (situational, item, etc) as well as penalties (shaken, morale, etc). Using just the skill ranks is both too good at lower levels when it is much higher than otherwise possible, and too shit at higher levels whe...

Why is Dancing Lights so important? If you really, really want Dancing Lights as a FD option, then you have two options: Give the FD level 0 spells which include Dancing Lights. Give the FD Dancing Lights as a spell-like ability at will or a number of times a day. Otherwise you are insulting the pla...

You know what- I actually liked the idea of making it a charisma based monk- it fits into the perform skill and is possibly more thematic than wisdom. There are two feats that swap all the Monk Wisdom based bonuses to Intelligence based bonuses. If you made up a feat that did the same thing but for ...

Are you deliberately trying to make this shitty? Because if so you've succeeded beyond any shadow of a doubt. First of all, the requirements: you are chucking away a skill and forcing them to take Endurance, Lightning Reflexes and Iron Will. You've already taken every single feat so far meaning they...

At the end of this story arc, Abeir and Toril will be separate again, and many of the things that happened when they crashed together will go back to the way they were before. So magic will be much like it was before the Spell Plague. Markings that marked spell-plagued people and animals will fade ...

Well then. If your power source is just fluff and in-game description then problem solved. Get rid of the Wizard, Psion and Cleric. All such casters are one of the Beguiler, Necromancer, Healer, Warder, Warmage, Enchanter, Transmuter etc. They also choose whether they are Arcane, Divine or Psionic w...

One of the magitech classes needs to be an altered Gadgeteer . One thing to remember about the Dragonmark Sorceror is that it would need to have stuff from the existing Arcane, Divine and Psionic ability lists. Because at the very least the Healing Mark needs to give you the Divine healing spells. T...

I'm still interested in how Eberron can be fixed. But to some extent it needs rearranging to make more sense. The fluff needs changing so that socially it makes sense why the dragonmarks lead to monopolies. The fluff needs changing so that either halfling barbarians are an actual danger or they are ...

So the fluff cannot change in any way, only the rules? There has to be a guild of bodyguards and a guild of detectives? You aren't taking the basic themes of Eberron and making them awesome, you are rejiggling the rules until it makes more sense, but at the same time relegating all melee characters ...

How attached are you to the current 13 Dragonmarks and Houses? Can we get rid of some and make them better defined? And thinking about it, what range of power will there be in the setting? Are you assuming a 20 level range which has the same power levels as 3.5 or are you going to try and sanify it ...

That's something I'm struggling with. On one hand...melee is shit. Eberron is a post-WW1 setting, pretty much, so wands (or guns) are the big kahuna. At the same time, dudes hitting each other with swords are cool, so...I'm not sure. Honestly, using a wand is seriously preferable to using a sword -...
