The fan site policy since the SRD explicitly does not apply to websites. We're not going to publish conversions until we know if we're breaking the law or nor. I think you are overeacting. People are doing it everywhere in the forums. There are some explanations here: http://www.enworld.org/ "...

So, a smart fighter is a "broken" one? A fighter that uses Tome of Battle is not broken, but half-4th edition already. Tome of Battle was their test of 4e mechanics. Lances are there for a reason. Do you prefer the "oops. No mounted combat" of 4th edition? There is mounted comba...

This means that someone in hide possessing a decent dex bonus actually has the same AC as someone in chainmail. Yes, but if you take into account the masterwork versions and how they scale etc, you can see that "decent bonus" in this case has to mean that dexterity or intelligence is the ...

I was planning on adding a Half-Vistani feat taken at character creation called something like Scion of the Blood that would give them access to one Full-blooded power of A through E, perhaps with a minor drawback (like Static Burn -light ). I simply haven't worked out these Full-Blooded abilities ...

Yeah, I have no problem with warforged. I'd make each one unique and toss in a little Alphonse Elic from FMA. :D I have yet to play in a game where, after a fight with a lycanthrope, the GM has not rolled his eyes and said "no, you're not infected." It either derails the campaign, derails...

Yam, that's a nice constructive discussion you have here, and I like how Dragonborn turn out. But on another view, we could use Dragonborn statistics for calibans also! I would add that we would probably need some serious rules about lycanthropy, a way to contact it etc. Of course something for horr...

Mournland/Cyre is a good bet, as well as Aerenal. :) Also, let's not forget that Ravenloft's Ancient Dead are not too different from the new creature type Unliving (which originated from Eberron): they both channel positive energy, for one. In fact, I saw somewhere in this board around two or three...

Interestingly, it's even been suggested that Xoriat could potentially result in a cross-cosmological connection between the EBERRON cosmology and the core D&D Great Wheel. The theory outlines that possibility that Xoriat is a "section" of the Great Wheel's Far Realm making an incursio...

Information Systems in my case, which is more like Informatics with a good dose of Management (my MSc is actually on Management).

Hmmm... It'll be interesting to see what you come up with for this. The world of Eberron is not directly connected to the core D&D cosmology [as Keith Baker has said]. Thus, the Great Wheel is an entirely different cosmological framework to that which was presented in the Eberron Campaign Setti...

That is one wild and crazy ride, tec-goblin! Question; I caught the Texhnolyze reference, of course, but are Gretta, Erica, etc., inspired by Gunslinger Girl ? (And if so, why are all the anime references that I'm catching from series I haven't actually watched?) Heheh, the answer to your first que...

Expedition to Castle Ravenloft - A walkthrough :P

Ok, it was requested (I think by Joël?) in another thread that I finally write down what happened in our d20 Modern campaign that involved Expedition to Castle Ravenloft. I've never posted such a detailed write up, I think this time it turned out (at least in writing) a much better story that I was ...

The Pickled Punk wrote:Just dump the scry requirement, or replace it with ranks in Knowledge (arcana). The scry spell no longer requires a skill, instead the victim of scry gets a saving throw, with modifiers based on how far awy, etc.
It could require also some divinations spells of level 3 for example.

That's a good idea. Lament for the Fallen should require 5 levels of bard and 1 level of dirgist. Graveyard Sonata should require 5 levels of bard and 4 levels of dirgist. Crescendo of Blood should require 5 levels of bard and 7 levels of dirgist. Requiem should require 5 levels of bard and 10 leve...
