Disclaimer

that nothing is this document is written in stone, and maybe changed before the game starts. There may also be situations that call for a rule to be discarded or added along the way. Gaming is a constant experience in growth through observation.

The following is a document of House Rules that out of necessity and joy I have created. In this document are alternatives to the normal Dungeons & Dragons v3.5 D20 rules for situations that have either had little or no clear explanation. You will still need the 3.5 "Players Hand Book", "Monstrous Manual", and "Dungeon Masters Guide" to make full sense of this document.

I must warn any who read this though; there are many misspellings, bad punctuation, and the occasional bad sentence structure. Please be forgiving, I am dyslexic, and do not have the resources for an editor. I am sure that those who read this are intelligent enough to get the meaning, and that is all that counts.

Observations

OGL can be found here: http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=d20/article/20040 121a

My games are an attempt to pull people into a world, and experience like they have rarely or never had. Through manipulation of lighting (through colored lights & dimming), background music (movie scores), smells (incense), descriptive story telling, and even temperature in the room (air-conditioning, or heater). This experience is however a mutual act between the players of the game, and I. I like to get to know my players with a few test games, to size up the way they approach things.

Are they Power Gamers, Meta Gamers, are they meek, and un-reactive, or strong willed and dominating, are they in it for the rush of the dice, or the rush of the experience. I look for players that are not afraid to express their emotions when they experience something, the best players are the ones that are willing to emotionally invest them selves into the story and character (without losing them selves, or taking the strong emotions out on others). I prefer the weave a complex story, and plot A “Cerebral Game” and try and avoiding as much as possible "Hack and Slash" or heavy "Dungeon Crawl" games. Not to say that those elements are not in my games. I try and bleed them seamlessly into the plot and game experience as a whole.

Introduction House rules, why? I have been running and then playing in Role Playing Games for almost 20 years, in that time I have studied and used many rules systems Palladium (TMNT, & Rifts), White Wolf (Werewolf the apocalypse, Vampire, Changeling, both dice & paper, and Live Action Role Play), TSR (Dungeon and Dragons v2.0, & v1.0), Wizards of the Coast (Dungeon and Dragons v3.0, & v3.5, D20 Modern & Future), Sanguine ltd. (Iron Claw, & Jade Claw), Albedo, Steve Jackson Games (Cyberpunk, & GURPS), Starchild publishing (Justifiers), FASA (Shadowrun), and more. All of this systems have had great idea, and terrible short comings, there is a never will be a perfect system. Currently (over the past 6 years), I have been running and playing in a lot of D20 (by Wizards of the Coast) games, like all other game systems while this one has made great strides to make a solid system, there are many short coming. There are things that I liked in other game systems, or rules that I feel would be better served another way that for my games at least I have either changed, or introduced.

I also strongly try NOT to lead or limit the players’ choices and/or actions. I try more to include them in the story, and allow them and their actions effect the story as much as the plot would affect them. This can be incredibility taxing at times, in preparation time, paper, and in my own flexibility. As a story teller that uses others reactions and choices you MUST stay fluid, and prepared to change course at a moments notice, but above all have fun.

Etiquette for Players’

These are not law, or me trying to usurp Wizards in any way, these are for my games, and anyone else’s games that agree with some of my calls. Feel free to add these or any other alternative rules to your games, it took me many years of playing to come to understand that as a game master in my games I make the rules. I am only limited by my flexibility and imagination. Though this realization, and my experiences I hope you find something useful in this document. If you are reading this because you are a player in one of my games, learn from it. There is much in this that can and will help you along the way. It should also be stated

#1.

Be polite and considerate… Being an ass will result in you NOT getting invited back to a game. No one likes rude, disrespectful, hostile, mean, bullying, or overly impolite people. So, take into consideration others around you, they maybe trying to enjoy the game. DM's do not like being your parents, or treating you like a child. So, do everyone a favor and don't act like one.

#2.

a small town. During the adventure the town is burned to the ground and its people slain. His goals should change. To something like, rebuilding the town, or hunting down and avenging the deaths of the villagers, etc. Holding onto a single goal can limit character growth, and attaining a simple goal like opening that pub may take the PC out of the game with running the business. A game after all is 99% the journey and 1% achieving success.

Be Prepared… Have you character sheet, books, pencil, paper, calculator, snacks, and whatever else you need, and leave your real world baggage at the door. By turning off your cell phone, and/or leaving your personal problems at home. Delaying a game because you weren't prepared or distracted can get very annoying for other players and especially a DM (who maybe running on limited time).

#3.

Etiquette for GMs’

Save your disagreements… If you don't agree with a rules call, or have a disagreement with the DM. DO NOT have an out burst (THAT'S NOT FAIR!), or start arguing with the DM, this embarrasses everyone, makes you look inconsiderate, and disrupts the flow of the game. Save it for an intermission, or the end of the game. Present it privately and calmly to the DM, explain why you disagreed, and how it made you feel. Also, stay open to the DM’s explanation, there may have been extenuating circumstances, or it could be an honest mistake on the DM’s part (no one is perfect)...

#4.

#1.

There are times when NO is ok, like Tom wants a Laser Gun. This is a medieval fantasy setting his character is in; which there are (most likely), no Laser Guns in that setting. No is ok in this situation, because of physics of the world there are no Laser Guns, and his character has no idea what one is (So, even if he has a ring of 3 wishes. It would not be something he could wish for).

Personal Investment… Don't be afraid to get involved with the story or plots, if you try to act as your character, and attain, believe in, and seek the goals of the character the experience will be allot more believable and enjoyable for you and everyone else. Interact with the NPCs, the PCs, and the story, if the DM describes a beautiful person who is trying to seduce you, then ask your self "Would I (as the character) be seduced and fall in love with them?".

Another way to approach this is give him the Laser Gun, and when he flaunt his new found power, there will be many more powerful beings who will want to take it from him for themselves; making Tom's life very short or worse. Or, then again this is how Campaigns are born, and an entire adventure could blossom out of a low level character having a power everyone wants, or wants to destroy.

Out of character you may suspect a plot, or betrayal but that is out of character, do what your character would do. Give in to the story, become apart of it, do what is natural. Trying to out smart the DM and the Players at every turn only alienates you from the game, and leaves you out of the joy of being apart of the plot.

#5.

Never Say “NO”… As a story teller you are the lord of Consequences, if at all possible remember to let your players do whatever they want. Then show them the result of their actions. Example: Tom wants to walk up and punch that Ogre in the gut. Let him, and if Tom is not high enough level, the Ogre will have little problem killing Tom, for his efforts.

#2.

The Golden rule: You are the Game Master you can change the rules. If there is a rule you don’t agree with change or discard it. In my opinion the story and plot always comes before rules…

Character Goals… Before you start the game make sure your DM has given you a clear explanation of what the games feel is, create a character that will work well with the setting and feel. Example: An Evil Cleric in a party of Good Paladins and Fighters or vice versa is not s really good idea. Once you have your character, write down what his early goals are and explain them to the DM, and work with him to shape them to best fit the story ahead. Also, be flexible; situations change, people change, and possibilities come and go, your early goals may never be reached, because the story or the characters reaction to events change the course of the PC's life. Example: Tom wants to own a pub in

If your storyline, or something plausible you player(s) want to do come into direct conflict with the rule system (because either there are no rules for that, or they say you can't do that), you are the DM... You decide if you want to rules to run your story, and plots, or do you. Rules provide structure, and support, but should NOT limit your games potential, or even your players’ imagination. So, if you don't like a rule, change it.

#3.

You are there for the players, not the other way around…

A self serving attitude will get you nothing but frustrated players, wasted man hours, and unfinished campaigns. If you run your games to abuse your players, or just to force warm bodies through the beginning and the end of a campaign, with or with out your players action, or choices. Then you need to find another hobby, because you’re going to regret the hard feelings, and loss of respect that your players will have for you.

#5.

When you make a rules call try your hardest to stick with it, don't change that rule later for your favorite NPC or monster. Also, when you are running your favorite monster or NPC don't play favoritism with it. Changing the rules for it to win, or succeed or whatever this is another form of Favoritism (See Above). Hypocrisy will create mistrust between you and your players, and your players may withdraw (become in active in the plots) or rebel (by quitting or trying to bring your game down).

You should run your games for the satisfaction of surprising, inspiring or moving your players’ emotions and interest. When players’ express good feelings and thanks for the game session or even the campaign that is more fulfilling for me then anything else; I get a high off my players’ emotional highs, and from seeing the story and world unfold before, because of my players, and not because of me. It makes the experience even more real for us all...

#6.

Set the manners of the game early… A game requires a leader that is the DM, before the campaign starts get all your players together, and make clear what is expected of the “Players” and the characters. Tell them arguing over a rules call should be reserved for after the game (as a rules call can ruin the story tempo, and mood), respect each player, the DM, and the game. Keep the disturbances to a minimum (cut off cell phones, no radios, no running to the store for sodas. Do that before the game. etc.).

Something to remember: You cannot have a game with out your players.

#4.

Hypocrisy makes player unhappy…

Favoritism is the joy killer… All players NO matter who they are; are EQUAL... If you are giving to much time, attention, or bonuses to anyone player over the others that is Favoritism; and your players will see it, and come to resent the player, the game, and you. No one likes to feel left out, left behind, or ignored, and favoritism is the quickest way to lose players for good. If you like a person so much that you feel that you have to shower them with gifts of attention, you will quickly find that is only person you have in your games...

#7.

Stop Unruliness… If a player (Out of Character) is being any of the following: rude, disrespectful, hostile, mean, bullying, or overly impolite; take them aside find out why, try to solve the problem before it gets out of control, and ruins the game for everyone. If the situation continues, or gets worse then politely eject the player form the game (the worst punishment for a player). It is your game, and the majority of players are depending on you to give them a good time, if that means removing an unruly player then so be it...

I have seen this in a dozen games, and 99% of the time it has been a GM showering his girl friend or his wife with attention, and unfair advantages, and equipment. I understand this, I have been in it. If you make your dearest love feel like he or she is getting left out, or not getting more attention then everyone else then they get up set usually saying things like, “You don’t love me.” Or “Why did you have the Ogre hit me with that club that nearly killed me, are you trying to say some thing.” Or even better, “I really wanted that staff of power, why did you give it to someone else (Dirty look of you don’t love me).”

Suggested Resources The 5 Books I have a saying, “I can run any story idea, or Dungeons & Dragons game with 5 books.”… Those five books are:

There is no easy answer to this solution, mine is you should keep your love life out of your games. Don’t invite you girlfriends, boy friends, husbands, or wives to a game, unless you know for sure they are not going to use the games as a tool or weapon against you and your friends.

Every 3 levels the highest level PC is above the highest Challenge Rating (CR) opponent the total XP for defeating that opponent is halved. Every 6 levels higher it is halved again, and again at 9 levels higher, etc.. Example: A 9th Level Fighter defeats a CR 6 Monster by the chart he should get 900 XP, but he is 3 levels higher then the CR he only gets 450 XP for it. If the fighter defeated a 3 CR creature, then he would only get 225 XP for it. If it was a 1/2 CR he would only get 112 XP. Every 3 CR opponent above the highest level PC the total XP for defeating that opponent is multiplied 1.5. Every 6 levels higher it is Doubled, and is 2.5 at 9 levels higher, etc..

Experience

Example: A 9th Level Fighter defeats a CR 12 Monster by the chart he should get 1800 XP, but he is 3 levels lower then the CR he gets 2700 XP for it. If the fighter defeated a 15 CR creature, then he would get 4500 XP for it. If it was a 18 CR he would get 6750 XP.

Getting XP Ways to get more XP with out always killing stuff. During each game session you as a player should make a note of the following achievements (on Table 6-1) that you preformed.

If there are more then one of the same type of creature attacking, the first creature is counted a full CR, for each additional creature of the same type their CR is added to the first creature in the value of +1. Example: A horde of 11 CR 3 creatures attack, and are defeated, then the CR value would be 3+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1= a CR of 13. The hordes CR would be counted as one creature for determining XP value. So, the Horde would be one creature with a CR of 13. All other rules above apply. If the highest person in the party was Level 16, then the whole party gets half the value of the total CR 13. If the parties Highest had been 13th level then the party would have gotten the full 1,950 XP. Like wise, if the Parties Highest was 10th they would have gotten 2,875. In addition, to all this the total XP for defeating an opponent is then divided among the party numbers. Simple, yes?...

Notes on Level Growth No PC can pop two levels during a game session, one level at a time. But you don't lose the extra XP if you have enough to do so. You apply XP to your levels leaving up to one point shy of the next second level, or as little as 1 point above your level gained. The rest of the left over XP goes into your "Experience Pool". This XP can be used at future dates to increase your level if you are shy from popping a single level during a game session. Or you may save up to purchase things not normally able to be purchased. Like a single rank in an untrained skill, or another point to add to your base will save, etc. See Table 6-2 for what you can do with extra XP. All of this is possible through the assumption of "In the Field Experience," hands-on training if you will.

Flexible XP

XP can be used to purchase Skill Ranks, Spell Points, Feats and more not normally accessible to you or your class. It is expensive and you still need to pay training cost in both gold, and time, but if you have the XP and you want to spend the XP then see Table 2-3 for the cost. You still must meet all normal requirements of class, and level, and you cannot exceed normal level limits (i.e. have more ranks in a skill then your level allows). Also, one can not buy more then one additional feat, abil;ity point, base attack, or saving throw point per level. What you can spend extra XP on: One point In-Class Untrained Skill Rank. One point Cross-Class Untrained Skill Rank One point In-Class Trained Skill Rank (As long as you have observed that skill). One point Cross-Class Trained Skill Rank. One point of Base Save (Fort, Reflex, or Will) One point of Spell Point One point Ability Attribute (Str, Dex, Con, Int, Wis, Cha,) One Additional Feat. One point of base attack.

How fast to level? The best way to figure out roughly how fast a PC or NPC should level is to use the chart below. This is an estimate, and should not reflect the facts. It is possible for some one who is truly extraordinary (or lucky) to make it from 1st to 10th in a manner of five years. This Cart is mainly for humans, if calculating an Elf, Gnome, or Dwarf, simply double the amount of time it takes to get to the next level.

Shifting Attributes Some times a Player needs to change the way their PCs live. Maybe change class, or just add a little more power to something that has become a mainstay. A PC may shift up to 5 Total Attribute points to another Attribute, as long as the points do not increase ones stats over 20. There are costs, Intelligence Comes from Strength, and Vise Versa, Dexterity Comes from Charisma, and Vise Versa, and finally Constitution from Wisdom, and Vise Versa. You can never move more then one point per Game Session, or you can NEVER move more then 5 Attribute points, or move any points at Character Creation. These changes need not be permanent and can be reverted back (One game at a time). It should be noted that the point to be moved can only be done so at the end of the game session. If and attribute falls below any requirements (such as feats) then that character loses the ability to perform that function, until his attribute is returned to the proper total and again meets any requirements. See Table 6-3 for more info.

Bad First Impression [Flaw]:

True Faith [General]

There is something about you that just rubs people wrong, no matter what you say, or how you look most people have a hard time liking you at first. Usually if people will spend the time to get to know you they find they were wrong about you, then again maybe not. Effect: Everyone you meet starts off one attitude lower towards you (Helpful, Friendly, Indifferent, Unfriendly, Hostile.), and all check DCs to change their attitude is 10 higher. Note: Information and charts on Attitudes is found on page 72 of the players hand book.

Prerequisite: True Belief Feat. Benefit: With this feat comes the ability to halt undead, and stop them from touching you as if you were a cleric (but not turn or damage undead). Once per day you can concentrate on your faith (with a holy symbol), during which can take no action other then move half your base speed, or fight defensively. Any undead that attempt to approach you, attack you, or touch you must make a Will save (DC your total hit dice + charisma modifier + 3). Those that fail can not come with in five feet of you as they are in awe, and if touched or grappled already the undead, it will let you go and back away (to 5 feet, or chose another target). Those that succeed may approach you, attack you, or touch normally with out penalty. This effect has all the same penalties as casting a spell does. It provokes attacks of opportunity; if you take damage you must make a concentration check (DC 20) or lose the effect, etc. Note: If you are a cleric and take this feat adds +3 to your turning checks.

Bounty [Flaw]: You are a criminal (or at least accused of being one), your face is on every wanted poster in the known world. Usually murder, kidnapping, or theft from someone powerful; or you just know too much about something you’re not supposed to. Effect: You have a bounty of at least 10,000gp on your head, dead or alive. You may have 1 or several bounty hunters looking for you. They may arrest you or try and kill you. In addition everyone you meet gets a d20 roll, if they ever roll a natural 20 they recognize you from wanted posters (19-20 for law-enforcement & soldiers). Even if you have changed your appearance, if you use disguise and a stranger sees through it, they get that d20 roll.

Flaws In the Unearthed Arcana Page 91 are a list of Flaws (and rules for them), you may if you so desire take up to 2 Flaws. For each flaw you take you start with an additional Feat! Choose wise because flaws are difficult to get rid of (They cost a feat slot (or 250XP x level), and the effort and sometimes gold).

Energy Vulnerability [Flaw]: You are more susceptible to the negative effects of a an energy type. Effect: You take double damage form one of the four common energy effects (Acid, Cold, Electricity, or Fire), both magical and non-magical. Any time you would take damage from an energy you are vulnerable to you take double the normal damage.

Additional Flaws from the Unearthed Arcana not listed here:

Albino You are a true albino of your race; you have white hair, red eyes, and pink skin. As a result you are highly distinctive, (and in most culture) hard to look upon, and feared to be marked by unnatural powers. Prerequisite: Must be taken at 1st level. Effect: You suffer a permanent -3 to Diplomacy, Disguise, and Gather Information checks. This flaw can never be bought off once taken.

Excoriate [Flaw]: You have been expelled from some cultural institution. Effect: You have been expelled from some cultural institution. You and the DM must decide on what this institution is. For instance; you have been excommunicated from the dominate faith of the land, or a powerful guild house that hold influence over many services. Any member of the institution that has essentially thrown you out, that knows your status (Most will) will have an attitude of unfriendly toward you. You will be refused any and all services or assistance by any member of your old institution. In addition if you present your self as member of the institution (Guild Member, Clergy, Patron, Heir, or

Amnesia [Flaw]: You have lost the memory or subconsciously blocked out some part of your life. It is often a time of great trauma or stress, like war, or the violent death of friends or family. Something you saw or did that the rest of you can not come to terms with. Sometimes it’s just a terrible head injury that takes away you’re past.

16

whatever), you could be arrested and prosecuted for fraud, or sin. The Institution must have some major effect on the characters life. For instance, the PC need healing but can not gat any from the major temple because he is an Excoriate.

Lunar Effect [Flaw]: You are tied to the moon and its phases, and it has a negative effect on you. Effect: For whatever reason you are affected by the cycles of the moon (or a moon), every New Moon at the setting of the sun you lose all your racial abilities, and bonuses. This includes bonuses to attributes bonuses (but NOT penalties), skill bonuses, racial abilities like Low-Light or Darkvision.

Lame [Flaw]: You have some sort of crippling disability or injury. You may be missing a leg, or an arm, or horribly scared all over your body. Effect: Missing a leg your base speed is reduced by 10, -4 to balance, climb, and jump. Missing an arm you take a -4 on all dex based checks involving the use of your hands, and two handed and two weapon fighting is out of the question. Horribly Scared you take a -4 to all Charisma based skills, and any you meet are automatically One level lower on the Attitude chart toward you (PHB pg 72).

At the rise of every full moon you find that you can not rest or sleep, and you must make a will save every hour DC 15, or when you take damage DC15 + the total amount of damage. If you fail you black out (becoming an NPC under the DMs control), and your alignment shifts to an opposing one, most likely Evil (Lawful Good to Chaotic Evil, Neutral to Neutral Evil, or Neutral Good, etc.). The DM may require the player to leave the room during the blackout. As a side effect of this if you are ever bitten by any type of were-creature you are at a -5 penalty to resist becoming infected. If a were creature has this flaw they are at a -5 penalty to all control shape attempts (except for voluntary change).

Learning Deficient [Flaw]: You were not educated well, and as a result do not have the necessary foundation to gain skill in anything easy. Effect: You start the game with -4 skill ranks, and every level you gain, your new skill ranks are -1. You are not stupid; you just aren’t capable of learning things easy. Special: If this skill is ever bought off you gain skills as normal, however all previous skills rank not gained because of this flaw remain gone.

Mark of the Beast [Flaw]: Some where in your past you failed your save on a polymorph spell, and you spent time in another shape. The experience altered you in some way that is noticeable to this day. Effect: This flaw is the result of baleful polymorph, where an individual spent a considerable amount of time as an animal before the effect was dispelled. Your hair may still be feathers, or people mistake you for a werebeast, you may have the eyes and voice of an ass. The physical marks on you are not the only changes. People can sense the beast about you, they find you uncomfortable to behold.

Light Sensitivity [Flaw]: Bright light hurts your eyes. Effect: You are permanently dazzled by bright light (Sun light, or any spell that has similar effects), suffering a -2 to all attack rolls, spot and search checks, and to all reflex saves while exposed to such conditions. These penalties stack with racial light sensitivity.

Anyone with an Intelligence of 4 or more, you meet starts off one attitude lower towards you (Helpful, Friendly, Indifferent, Unfriendly, Hostile.), and all check DCs to change their attitude is 10 higher. Note: Information and charts on Attitudes is found on page 72 of the players hand book.

Lower Cast [Flaw]: You are from a family or race that has little respect from the rest of the world, either because of cultural bias, your ancestors did something unforgivable, or simply for being poor; you are kept in poverty by society, and denied the ability to advance socially out of your position. Prerequisite: Must be taken at 1st level. Effect: You are marked from being the lowest class, try to hide the fact that you did not hail from the lower cast people see through your disguise, or here the tone in your Cockney accent and know what you are attempting to do. If a Noble, or Lawman catch you trying to move up or in possession of a weapon (more then a farm tool (lt hammer, crowbar, piton, pitchfork, sickle, scyth, hand axe, tree axe, sledge hammer)) they have the right beat, steal, or other wise publicly punish you. In more extreme lands, they may even have you executed. You will never be able to shake this flaw.

Mark of the Unnatural [Flaw]: Animals hate you and either wish to get away from you or attack you. Effect: All animals or any thing with an Intelligence of 3 or less, that sees you start with an attitude of “Unfriendly” toward you. If you make any move toward the animal then they become “Hostile”, a successful charisma check can change there attitude, but you suffer a -4 on all checks dealing with animals as well. This can make riding a horse most difficult.

Phobia [Flaw]: Some call you a coward, but you have good reason to be afraid. Others just don’t understand.

17

Effect: Pick a common subject or phobia, when ever you see the subject of your fear you become shaken, and remain so till you are sure that subject is gone (Out of sight), if the subject of your fear approaches you or makes any contact with you (touch, crawl, etc), you become frightened, unless you make a will save DC 20, then you will remain shaken. If you roll a Natural 1, or if the subject damages you, or you are trapped, and forced to face the subject (stuck on a ledge with a fear of heights) then you become panicked unless you make a will save DC 30 then you will remain shaken.

or a wizards concentration.). DM may decide to what skill the penalty is applied during character creation.

Substance Intolerance [Flaw]: You are more susceptible to the negative effects of a substance or element. Effect: If you so much as touch an element, metal, chemical you take damage 1 point per-round, and anything that damages you made of that substance does an additional die of damage in addition to each round it touches you. For example: You are Iron Intolerant, and you are hit with a cold iron axe. You take 2d8 instead of the 1d8 normally, and if the axe remains stuck in your skull, you take an additional 1 pt of damage per round until its removed. Special: The player and DM agree on the substance of intolerance. DM has final say however.

If you made the initial will saves and the subject attempts to do any thing else but leave, or you get away from its presence you must again make the will saves. Examples of relevant phobias are: Spiders & Bugs, Goblins, Kobolds, Reptiles, Undead, All Bladed Weapons, Heights, Nobility, Darkness, Wizards, Orcs, Fire, just to name a few. The DM has final decision on the phobia, and may require you to pick another.

Targeted [Flaw]: You are always the one they attack, or blame first. You just stand out when the beat down come around. Effect: In combat you are more likely to be the target of ranged attacks. For what ever reason you stand out as a good target. You make a good target to by suffering a permanent -2 penalty to concealment, and your miss chance is halved, even miss chance provided by spell effects. Like wise if something happens, you are always on the suspect list, even if you have proof you did nothing. You are the target.

Poor [Flaw]: You and your family had no. or lost your fortune, now you must make ends by your wits. Prerequisite: Must be taken at 1st level. Effect: You are horribly poor. You start the game with ¼ of your allotted starting money, and all your equipment must be scrounged or improvised. Meaning all equipment is used, or made from piecemeal; it’s dull, weak, or rusted and does 1 less point of damage, and break on a natural 1. The exceptions to these rules are weapons that have no cost (clubs, quarter staffs, sling, and stones), and farming tools (lt hammer, crowbar, piton, pitchfork, sickle, scyth, hand axe, tree axe, sledge hammer). Armor adds 1 to all Armor check penalties, and has half its hit points. No exceptions for armor.

Traits On page 86 of the Unearthed Arcana are a list of traits which further shape your character, making him/her more real. You can not start with more then 2 traits.

Sick [Flaw]: You have a chronic illness, you have trouble breathing, or doing anything excessive. You periodically have violent fits of coughing. You are always feverish to the touch, and as pale as death. Effect: You have a -4 to your Constitution, and you become exhausted when ever something would normally make you fatigued, because you have another coughing fit, anything that makes you exhausted causes you to pass out. If you ever move faster then you base speed you have to make a Fortitude Save DC 15. Failure means you have another coughing fit, and cannot move again for 1 minute (10 rounds). Special: This can not be cured by any magical means all spells to cure this or its effects fail. Note: Rastelin of DragonLance suffered from this flaw.

Skill Inept [Flaw]: Some skills people have no talent in. Effect: -6 to any one skill, the skill must be in class, and pertinent to the character (example, rogues open locks skill,

Starting Occupation

Background

Select one of the following occupations for your 1st level character. This represents the training and experiences a character has had previous to the start of the campaign. These are generalities which it is suggested you elaborate on. This concept was presented in d20 modern on page 32-34, I like the idea, so I have modified it for my settings.

Below is a series of basic questions that should sum up your character, this is very useful for me as a DM. It tells me what you expect from the game, and possible allows me to better pull your character into the background. Some smart ass gamers think that if they don’t put any thing vulnerable down (like family connections, or past loves) they make them selves invulnerable to the DMs wrath. This attitude will only bring you isolation from the story, and I as the DM must remind you that I am not competition with you. Together we are trying to make a epic story, and if you are a hard unfeeling piece of empty paper then you are not the stuff of legend.

Academic Academics includes Librarians, Wizards, Sages, Scholars, Teachers, Scribes, Book Keepers, and any other educated (or at least self taught) profession. Prerequisite: The ability to read & write. Skills: Choose any three of the following skills as permanent class skills. If you select a skill that is already in class you receive a +1 competency bonus on that skill. Craft (Alchemy), Craft (Scribing), Decipher Script, Gather Information, Knowledge (Any taken individually), Spellcraft, Speak Language (Any taken individually). Bonus Feat: Select one of the following: Knowledgeable, or Skill Focus (Concentration, Craft (Alchemy), or Decipher Script).

In my past observation Bards have been played poorly, to help correct this trend here are some suggested concepts are: Lore Keeper, Historian, Adventurer, Treasure Hunter, Anthropologist, Story-teller, Snake-Oil Sales Man, Evangelist, Herald, Dragon-Kin, Singing Fighter, Con-Man, Collector, Gypsy, etc.

Spell Points: Bards do not get spell slots, but instead get spell points per level. See the chart below for the maximum spell level of the spells they can have per level. A bard’s wisdom bonus does not gain them extra spells, but instead extra spell points. The rules for uses and advantages of spell points are below in the “Spell Points” chapters of this supplement.

Something I like to do to build more realistic characters is start my players off in 1st level commoner classes found on Page 107-110 in the DMG, or from the class templates in the Darkness and Dread by Fantasy Flight Games DD47 on page 11-46, and require the PCs to attain a certain number of ranks in an appropriate class skill find a mentor or school, and come up with the gold to pay for it; before they can become the class they wish to be. Sort of a humble beginnings thing... See table below for class requirements. If this seems to much then I might suggest allowing your PCs to start with the 3 Free Skill Rule Below (under Optional Skill Rules). Class Barbarian Bard

Plus, the following skills depending on the school of specialization: Abjurer: Survival (Wis) Conjurer: Gather Information (Cha) Diviner: Spot (Wis) Enchanter: Diplomacy (Cha) Evoker: Intimidate (Cha) Illusionist: Bluff (Cha) Necromancer: Heal (Wis) Transmuter: Disguise (Cha)

Darkness & Dread by Fantasy Flight Games under the Legends & Lairs series has several new commoner classes, these classes are not the hero classes from the player’s hand book, but they are incredibly useful and enjoyable to both play, and watch be played. I usually require PCs to go up in one or more levels of these classes before they become adventuring heroes. The only thing I have to alter about these classes is that they are all 5 level classes. Even if the class states a 10 level growth chart, they all work as 5 level classes.

Devoted Specialist Devoted Specialists are practitioners of arcane arts who have dedicated their lives to entirely exploring and expanding the study of their chosen school. Unlike specialist, and Devoted Specialist is incapable of casting other schools of magic (Except Universal, and the spell Read Magic). However, the intense focus is allows them to completely master their chosen field of study. Many scoff at such a sacrifice for this path, until the Devoted Specialist begins to gain a greater understanding of their school and the over whelming power that comes with that understanding.

Skill Points at 1st Level: (2 + Int modifier) x 4. Skill Points at Each Additional Level: 2 + Int modifier.

Class Features All of the following are class features of the Devoted Specialist. Weapon and Armor Proficiency: Devoted Specialist s are proficient with the club, dagger, heavy crossbow, light crossbow, and quarterstaff, but not with any type of armor or shield. Armor of any type interferes with a wizard’s movements, which can cause her spells with somatic components to fail.

prohibited school or schools, if any; see School Specialization, below) plus four 1st-level spells of your choice. For each point of Intelligence bonus the Devoted Specialist has, the spellbook holds one additional 1st-level spell of your choice. At each new Devoted Specialist level, she gains three new spells of any spell level or levels that she can cast (based on her new Devoted Specialist level) for her spellbook. At any time, a Devoted Specialist can also add spells found in other Devoted Specialists’, or wizards’ spellbooks to her own.

Spells: A Devoted Specialist casts arcane spells which are drawn from the sorcerer/ wizard spell list. A Devoted Specialist must choose and prepare her spells ahead of time (see below). To learn, prepare, or cast a spell, the Devoted Specialist must have an Intelligence score equal to at least 10 + the spell level. The Difficulty Class for a saving throw against a Devoted Specialist’s spell is 10 + the spell level + the Devoted Specialist’s Intelligence modifier. Like other spellcasters, a Devoted Specialist can cast only a certain number of spells of each spell level per day. Her base daily spell allotment is given on Table: The Devoted Specialist. In addition, she receives bonus spells per day if she has a high Intelligence score.

Devotion: Devoted Specialist may only learn, prepare, and cast spells from their selected school, and the Universal Schools (The exception is the spell Read Magic, the Devoted Specialist gets automatically and can prepare with out a spell book as a wizard can). Other schools of magic are entirely forbidden to the Devoted Specialist except through the Open School feat (see below). Devoted Specialist receive a +4 bonus to spellcraft checks to learn new spells of their selected school.

Unlike a bard or sorcerer, a Devoted Specialist may know any number of spells. She must choose and prepare her spells ahead of time by getting a good night’s sleep and spending 1 hour studying her spellbook. While studying, the Devoted Specialist decides which spells to prepare.

School Mastery: On page of the Unearthed Arcana is a list of arcane domains, the Devoted Specialist gains the domain related to his specialty school, as he gains levels not only does he gain an extra spell from his school but at the appropriate spell level, he automatically gets the spell from that list added to his spell book, at any time he so choose you may sacrifice a prepared spell for that day of equal level to spontaneously cast one of the domains spells.

Bonus Languages: A Devoted Specialist may substitute Draconic for one of the bonus languages available to the character because of her race. Spellbooks: A Devoted Specialist must study her spellbook each day to prepare her spells. She cannot prepare any spell not recorded in her spellbook, except for read magic, which all Devoted Specialist s can prepare from memory. A Devoted Specialist begins play with a spellbook containing all 0-level wizard spells (except those from her

Scribe Scroll: At 1st level, a Devoted Specialist gains Scribe Scroll as a bonus feat (See page 99 of the PHB). Augment Specialty School: At 2nd level a Devoted Specialist begins to become more powerful in his chosen school, gaining the knowledge to cast augmented spells from that school with greater ease. This allows her to ignore one level of metamagic cost when preparing augmented spells. So, a Devoted Conjurer could prepare an extended Summon Monster I spell as a 1st level spell instead of a second level spell. The Devoted Specialist can use this to decrease the metamagic level penalty if she does have enough to completely ignore it. At 4th level and every other level there after a Devoted Specialist may ignore one additional level of metamagic cost when preparing spells. Specialty School Focus: At 3rd level, Devoted Specialist receives a +1 bonus to all caster level checks (1d20 + Caster level) to beat a creature’s spell resistance when casting spells of her chosen school. In addition, the DCs of all spells casts from the Devoted Specialist chosen school are increased by 1. These benefits stack with bonuses provided by the Spell Focus, and Spell Penetration feats. These bonuses increase by 1 each at 7th, 11th, 15th, and 19th levels. Improved Counter Spell: A Devoted Specialist when counterspelling a spell from her chosen school may use any spell of that school that is one or more spell levels higher than the target spell. Bonus Feat: At 5th, 10th, 15th, and 20th level, a Devoted Specialist gains a bonus feat. At each such opportunity, she can choose a Metamagic feat, a Item Creation feat, Eschew Material Components, Greater Spell Focus, Greater Spell Penetration, Knowledgeable, Magical Aptitude, Spell Book Mastery, Spell Focus, Spell Mastery, or Spell Penetration. The Devoted Specialist must still meet all prerequisites for a bonus feat, including caster level minimums.

Class Features

Draconic Sorcerer

All of the following are class features of the sorcerer.

The sorcerer class can be found on page 51 of the player hand book, and expanded on page 60 players hand book II.

Weapon and Armor Proficiency: Sorcerers are proficient with all simple weapons. They are not proficient with any type of armor or shield. Armor of any type interferes with a sorcerer’s gestures, which can cause his spells with somatic components to fail.

The Following is for a draconic heritage sorcerer, though it can be easily adjusted to a Fiendish or Celestial sorcerer.

GAME RULE INFORMATION

Spells: A sorcerer casts arcane spells which are drawn primarily from the sorcerer/wizard spell list, he can cast any spell he knows without preparing it ahead of time, the way a wizard or a cleric must (see below).

Sorcerers have the following game statistics. Abilities: Charisma determines how powerful a spell a sorcerer can cast, how many spells the sorcerer can cast per day, and how hard those spells are to resist. To cast a spell, a sorcerer must have a Charisma score of 10 + the spell’s level. A sorcerer gets bonus spells based on Charisma. The Difficulty Class of a saving throw against a sorcerer’s spell is 10 + the spell’s level + the sorcerer’s Charisma modifier. Like a wizard, a sorcerer benefits from high Dexterity and Constitution scores.

To learn or cast a spell, a sorcerer must have a Charisma score equal to at least 10 + the spell level. The Difficulty Class for a saving throw against a sorcerer’s spell is 10 + the spell level + the sorcerer’s Charisma modifier. Unlike other spellcasters, a sorcerer uses spell points to cast spells per day. His base daily spell point allotment is given on the Table: The Sorcerer. In addition, he receives bonus spells points per day if he has a high Charisma score. A sorcerer’s selection of spells is extremely limited. A sorcerer begins play knowing any 6 0-level or 1st-level spells of his choice. At each new sorcerer level, he gains one or more new spells, as indicated on Table: Sorcerer. (Unlike spells per day, the number of spells a sorcerer knows is not affected by his Charisma score; the numbers on Table: Sorcerer is fixed.) These new spells can be common spells chosen from the sorcerer/wizard spell list, or they can be unusual spells that the sorcerer has gained some understanding of by study. The sorcerer can’t use this method of spell acquisition to learn spells at a faster rate, however.

Alignment: Any. Hit Die: d6.

Class Skills The sorcerer’s class skills (and the key ability for each skill) are Bluff (Cha), Concentration (Con), Craft (Int), Diplomacy (Cha), Intimidate (Cha), Knowledge (arcana) (Int), Knowledge (Local) (Int), Knowledge (Nobility) (Int), Profession (Wis), and Spellcraft (Int).

When ever a Sorcerer casts a spell with that energy descriptor, the DC to resist that spell is increased by 2.

Upon reaching 4th level, and at every even-numbered sorcerer level after that (6th, 8th, and so on), a sorcerer can choose to learn a new spell in place of one he already knows. In effect, the sorcerer “loses” the old spell in exchange for the new one. The new spell’s level must be the same as that of the spell being exchanged, and it must be at least two levels lower than the highest-level sorcerer spell the sorcerer can cast. A sorcerer may swap only a single spell at any given level, and must choose whether or not to swap the spell at the same time that he gains new spells known for the level.

Dragon Heritage Black Blue Green Red White Brass Bronze Copper Silver Gold Amethyst Crystal Emerald Sapphire Topaz

Unlike a wizard or a cleric, a sorcerer need not prepare his spells in advance. He can cast any spell he knows at any time, assuming he has not yet used up his spell points per day for that spell level. He does not have to decide ahead of time which spells he’ll cast. Also, using spell points are far more flexible then spell slots, for every additional 2 spell points a sorcerer spends he may increase one asspect of the spell by one full level for determining all level dependent, and variable effects (Damage, Durations, Range, etc.).

Draconic Skin (Su): Starting at 3rd level a Sorcerer can grant himself scaly skin that protects him against weapons as well as the energy type of his draconic heritage. A Sorcerer gains a +3 natural armor bonus and fire resistance 5 while his drake skin is in effect. This is a supernatural ability that he can use once per day at 3rd level, with a duration of 10 minutes per level. As a Sorcerer advances in level, his drake skin ability improves, as shown on the table below.

Familiar: A sorcerer can obtain a familiar. Doing so takes 24 hours and uses up magical materials that cost 100 gp. A familiar is a magical beast that resembles a small animal and is unusually tough and intelligent, or if the Sorcerer so decides may summon a Dragonet as his familiar (An option only a Sorcerer gets at 1st level, and is listed below. Others must have a minimum level of 3rd to have a Dragonet Familiar). The creature serves as a companion and servant. The sorcerer chooses the kind of familiar he gets. As the sorcerer advances in level, his familiar also increases in power.

If the familiar dies or is dismissed by the sorcerer, the sorcerer must attempt a DC 15 Fortitude saving throw. Failure means he loses 200 experience points per sorcerer level; success reduces the loss to one-half that amount. However, a sorcerer’s experience point total can never go below 0 as the result of a familiar’s demise or dismissal. A slain or dismissed familiar cannot be replaced for a year and day. A slain familiar can be raised from the dead just as a character can be, and it does not lose a level or a Constitution point when this happy event occurs.

A character with more than one class that grants a familiar may have only one familiar at a time. Energy Focus (Su): The elemental nature of the dragons burns in the sorcerer’s blood. At first level the draconic heritage of the Sorcerer is awakened, he must pick a draconic type that he is descended from. From that point on the Sorcerer is able to access the draconic heritage, and draconic feats (See Races of Dragon, and Dragon Magic). In addition the dragon heritage that the Sorcerer picks reflect and energy type, this will affect the type of resistance, breath weapon, and color of other class abilities at higher levels.

He can see four times as well in low-light conditions and twice as well in normal light, and she gains darkvision 60 feet.

A dragonet is a small, winged, lizardlike creature related to Dragons or PseudoDragons. It is about 3 feet long from its horned nose to the tip of its sinuous tail, and has a wingspan the same size. Its scales are brightly colored, predominantly green but with patches or bands of yellow, black, blue and/or fiery red. A feathery crest runs from the top of its head down its spine, ending in a soft tuft at the creature's tail. Its eyes are large and yellow, and its teeth are needlesharp. It has a range of vocal expression (though it does not speak) from low rumbling growls to high-pitched keening. Dragonets are fishers and hunters in the wild, flying in packs over forests, or lakes and diving for their prey. Their needlelike teeth are well adapted for grabbing and holding slippery fish, or small mammals, and they use their sharp claws to hold their prey while they eat. Sometimes still on the wing. Dragonets nest in colonies in places where they have a high vantage point (such as cliffs, high trees, etc.). Dragonets are often encountered as the familiars of Sorcerers. A dragonet familiar is the same alignment as its master.

Noble

Bonus Feat: At 3rd and 7th level the Noble gains a bonus feat from its class, the noble must met all perquisites to take any feat.

Nobles are usually educated, wealthy individuals often born of high position. Noble’s are of royal blood, and command great presence. They are given freedom to train in fields of their choice (for the most part), and often travel widely. With access to the best goods and opportunities Nobles can quickly become formidable individuals, though their greatest gift is that of influence, command, and communication. The presence of nobility is mightier then any sword. Being a Noble however, isn’t so much a choice as a position you’re born into. A Noble cannot multiclass unless his or her first level is in Noble class.

Noble Presence (Ex): Once per-day per charisma modifier a Noble can by using their force of will, or noble presence to lead others to success. By spending one full round speaking or yelling to or giving orders to his allies, and succeeding on a Diplomacy check DC 15 + the number of allies influenced the Noble grants his allies a +2 moral bonus on all saves, +1 moral bonus on any skill checks, and +1 moral bonus on all attacks to his all his allies with in 60ft. This effect last for a number of rounds equal to the Nobles level, or if the Noble falls, succumbs to any fear effects, or retreats the effect ends immediately.

By making an opposed Diplomacy check against the highest Will save among the crowd of which the majority of the crowd have 6 or fewer HD, and at least be of the indifferent attitude (which the Noble can now use Social Grace to improve), if the group fails its save then the Noble got the Groups attention. The Noble can now control the crowd’s general actions, inciting it to attack a subject, dictating its movements, causing it to break up, or keeping it calm. The Noble can influence only those with in 100ft of him and can hear, understand, and see him. The crowd does not take suicidal actions, nor does it blindly follow the Nobles urgings. Instead, treat the crowd as if it sees the Noble’s council in the best possible light as if he were a close friend or ally. The crowd also gains the benefits of the Noble’s Noble Presence ability, though the effect does not count as one of the Noble Presence abilities use for that day.

Special Social Graces Noble Presence Noble Bearing

Class Skills The Noble’s class skills (and the key ability for each skill) are Appraise (Int), Bluff (Cha), Climb (Str), Diplomacy (Cha), Disguise (Cha), Forgery (Int), Gather Information (Cha), Handle Animal (Cha), Intimadate (Cha), Knowledge (all skills, taken individually) (Int), Listen (Wis), Perform (Cha), Profession (Wis), Ride (Dex), Sense Motive (Wis), Speak Language (n/a), Spot (Wis), Swim (Str), and Survival (Wis).

Social Graces (Ex): Through compassionate dealings, or social maneuvering the Noble can change someone’s attitude with greater ease then most. By speaking for one full round (and taking no other actions) to the individual or creature to be influenced you reduce the DC to change a targets attitude toward you by 5+your Noble level. The target must be able to hear, understand, and see you, be no more the 30ft away, or have more hit dice then your level. In addition the Noble gains a permanent +2 competency bonus to Diplomacy, Gather Information, Intimidate, and Sense Motive checks.

Prestige Classes

Class Features All of the following are features of the Blue Conjurer prestige class.

Blue Conjurer

Weapon and Armor Proficiency: Blue Conjurers gain no proficiency with any weapon or armor.

The Blue Conjurers is a lose order of master conjurers, known for their powerful summoned creatures, and intricate knowledge of conjuration. No one knows from where the order came, rumors say that the order was founded on another plane. They often pick up planar languages, the art of diplomacy, and interactions as to better understand and encourage their summoned allies.

Spells per Day: When a new Blue Conjurer level is gained, the character gains new spells per day as if he had also gained a level in whatever spellcasting class he belonged to before he added the prestige class; except for 1st level, he gains no benefit form his previous spell casting class. He does not, however, gain any other benefit a character of that class would have gained. This essentially means that he adds the level of Blue Conjurer to the level of whatever other spellcasting class the character has, then determines spells per day and caster level accordingly.

Viewed with suspicion by most, Blue Conjurers simply desire knowledge for knowledge sake. Becoming focused masters of conjuration. Some seek to better the world, others seek to leave the world, and then there are the few tempted by the promises of power from the things better left unsummoned. Blue Conjurers can often be found wherever there is knowledge to be gained, and magic to be discovered.

If a character had more than one arcane class before he became a Blue Conjurer, he must decide to which class he adds each level of Blue Conjurer for the purpose of determining spells per day.

Hit Die: d6.

At 10th level all summoned creatures gain an additional +2 to strength and constitution, and an additional +2 to the DC of any caster level check to dispel the Blue Conjurer summoned creatures. These bonuses stack with those provided by the feat Augment Summoning. Quickened Conjuration (Ex): A number of times per day equal to half of a Blue Conjurers prestige level, a Blue Conjurer can quicken some of his conjuration spells. Casting a quickened conjuration spell is a free action. A Blue Conjurer can perform another action, even casting another spell, in the same round that he cast a quickened spell. He may cast only one quickened spell per round. A spell whose casting time is more than 1 full round action cannot be quickened. The spells must be prepared a head of time, and are not penalized for being prepared in this manner. Contingent Conjuration (Ex): A 9th level a Blue Conjurer can prepare a conjuration spell ahead of time to be triggered by some other event. This functions as described for the contingency spell, including having the Blue Conjurer cast the conjuration spell beforehand. The spell is cast instantly when the trigger event occurs. The conditions needed to bring the spell into effect must be clear, although they can be general. If complicated or convoluted condition as are prescribed, the contingent conjuration may fail when triggered. The conjuration spell occurs based solely on the stated conditions, regardless of whether the Blue Conjurer wants it to, although most conjurations can be dismissed normally. A Blue Conjurer can have only a number of contingency spells equal to half of a Blue Conjurers prestige level active at one time.

Sacred Huntsman

Nature’s Ally (Su): Spirits of the Land recognize the Sacred Huntsman’s dedication to nature and awards her. The earth defender can add summon nature’s ally spells to her divine spell list. Also, she can use prepared spells to spontaneously cast summon nature’s ally spells the way a druid does.

Sacred Huntsmen are holy defenders of the land concerned with protecting the environment at all costs. Sacred Huntsmen range from benevolent wilderness hermits, to enraged fanatics seeking the death and destruction of those that threaten the nature world. Sacred Huntsmen are clerics of the Nature Gods that make their way by living in harmony with the land, and hunting down those that threaten, defile, hunt for sport, or anything else that could harm their ward. Sacred Huntsmen can draw power from Spirits of the Land to smite their foes and get help from nature’s creatures. Sacred Huntsmen who defend a type of creature often range across long distances, protecting members of endangered species wherever they journey. Sacred Huntsmen, who defend an environment, tend to guard a specific area.

Smite Threat (Su): Once per day the Sacred Huntsman can add her Wis modifier to her melee attack roll, and her Sacred Huntsman class level and her divine class level to the damage. This ability can be used with any normal melee attack, a melee touch attack, or not a ranged attack. At 4th level she can use this ability 2/day. Swift Tracker (Ex): The Sacred Huntsman can move at his normal speed while following tracks without taking the normal -5 penalty. He takes only a -10 penalty (instead of the normal -20) when moving at up to twice normal speed while tracking.

Hit Die: d8

Earth Maw (Su): Once per day the Sacred Huntsman can call upon nature to have an enemy swallowed by the land. The Sacred Huntsman can target a large size or smaller creature within 100 feet, a rift is torn beneath the target, who is swallowed by the earth, and then the rift closes. The victim must make a DC 20 + the Sacred Huntsman wisdom modifier reflex save to avoid being swallowed by the earth maw. Success means he escapes unharmed. Failure means he is trapped 10 feet beneath the ground and suffers 8d6 damage every round from the crushing strength of the earth. Also, the victim is considered to be drowning if he fails a DC 10 Constitution check, which must be rolled every round. The DC increases by 1 every round the character is trapped beneath the earth. The creature cannot cast spells, escape on its own (unless it has some natural ability to move through earth), however spells cast by others such as dig, move earth, transmute rock to mud and passwall can all clear a path to the creature. If exposed to air the creature seizes suffocating.

Requirements To qualify to become an Sacred Huntsman, a character must fulfill all the following criteria. Skills: Survival 2 ranks. Feats: Track. Spells: Able to cast 3rd level divine spells. Special: Must be a cleric of a nature god and have one of the following domains Animal, Earth, or Plant.

Class Skills The Sacred Huntsman’s class skills (and key ability for each skill) are Concentration (Con), Craft (Int), Handle animal (Cha), Hide (Dex), Knowledge (arcana) (Int), Knowledge (nature) (Int), Knowledge (religion) (Int), Move Silently (Dex), Profession (Wis), Sense Motive (Wis), Spellcraft (Int) and Survival (Wis). Skill Points at Each Level: 4 + Int modifier.

Class features Weapon and Armor Proficiencies: Sacred Huntsmen gain proficiency with all Bows. Ward (Ex): Sacred Huntsmen select an environment (Arctic, Aquatic, Desert, Forest, Mountain, Swamp, Underground, Urban, etc), or a favored type to protect (Animal, Dragon, Elemental, Fey, Magical Beast, Plant, or Vermin). While defending her chosen ward, the Sacred Huntsmen receive a +1 morale bonus to all saving throws, attack rolls and skill checks.

Totem Mage

Weapon and Armor Proficiency: Familiar magus gains no proficiency with any weapon or armor.

This tradition of Wizards, Sorcerers, and Druids is small and obscure many a mage desires power but seek it among tomes and research. Few look to the beast and animals of the world. But there is great power in the there is great power in these creatures, one that is either over looked or unknown to those who would seek it, except for small orders of this tradition hidden usually through out the land. Believed to have been started by druid-wizards living and mingling with Wood Elves, or other tribal races, it has found fellow wizards among some Gnomish, and Human communities. The totem mage seeks to enhance the bond between him and the totem spirit of an animal he admires, and in so doing become a disciple, or emissary of that animal, and in exchange tap into the beast’s potential for him self. Gaining powers, and understanding about the totem’s kind, offers never before realized abilities, and power. Any Sorcerer, Wizard, or Druid of any race can follow this tradition, however it has a predominantly large following by Conjurers, and Transmuters, and most of those take on a totem of the same type as there familiar or companion.

Spells per Day: When a new totem mage level is gained, the character gains new spells per day as if he had also gained a level in whatever spell casting class he belonged to before he added the prestige class, accept at 1st, 4th, 7th, and 10th. He does not, however, gain any other benefit a character of that class would have gained. This essentially means that he adds the level of totem mage to the level of whatever other spell casting class the character has, then determines spells per day and caster level accordingly. If a character had more than one arcane or divine class before he became a totem mage, he must decide to which class he adds each level of totem mage for the purpose of determining spells per day. Totemic Bond (Ex): Through this ritual an arcane bond between the wizard and a symbolic natural animal of the wizards choosing becomes more powerful, creating an almost symbiotic relationship with this “Totem”. The power of this bond between the wizard and the “Totem” now begins to affect the wizard, as he starts developing traits of his totem, and takes on slight appearance qualities. At 1st level the totem mage gains a +2 enhancement bonus to Strength, Dexterity, or Constitution (which ever is higher for the animal chosen. Ex: a bear totem would be Strength, a cat Dexterity), he also gains one of his familiar’s senses (blind sense, darkvision, low-light vision, or scent as long as the animal he chooses has the same ability), and he gains a +2 empathy on all charisma rolls when interacting with an animal of the same type. The animal he chooses to create a bond with, and the resulting enhancement is permanent.

Hit Die: d6.

Requirements To qualify to become a totem mage, a character must fulfill all the following criteria. Skills: Knowledge (Arcane) 8 Ranks, Knowledge (Nature) 8 Ranks. Spells: Ability to cast summon monster III, or summon natures ally III.

Class Skills The totem mage class skills (and the key ability for each skill) are Concentration (Con), Craft (Int), Decipher Script (Int), Knowledge (all skills, taken individually) (Int), Listen (Wis), Profession (Wis), Spellcraft (Int), Spot (Wis), and Survival (Wis).

Totem’s Shape (Sp): At 1st level the totem mage may transform into the shape of his Familiar. This ability is functions like the druid’s ability wild shape, except as noted here: The totem mage is limited to the shape of the totem he picked at 1st level, example: if a totem mage has a raven totem, then he may take the form of a raven. Changing form (to animal or back) is a standard action and doesn’t provoke an attack of opportunity. The effect lasts for 1hour per level, or until he changes back. The totem mage may use this ability once per day at first level, 2 times a day at 4th level, and 3 time per day at 7th level.

Skill Points at Each Level: 2 + Int modifier.

his totem’s kind. This ability functions much like shapechange (page 277, PHB), except as noted here. This ability enables the totem mage to assume only a lycanthrope form based on his totem’s kind. He gains all extraordinary and supernatural abilities (both attacks and qualities) of the assumed form, and any of the abilities granted by the totem mage’s class levels. The totem mage also gains the type of the new form in place of his own, which is Monstrous Humanoid. The new form does not disorient him. Changing form (to animal or back) is a standard action and doesn’t provoke an attack of opportunity. The change takes place either immediately before his regular action or immediately after it, but not during the action. The ability lasts for 10 minutes per level, and can use this ability no more then a number of times per day that he can perform the totem shape ability (3 at 5th level).

The totem mage due to the magical nature (not natural ability) retains the ability to speak, and cast spells, and can speak with other animal’s of his species. While this ability mimics wild shape it is not wild shape, and there for a different ability. Summon Totem (Sp): At 2nd level the totem mage learns to call upon the species of his totem for help and assistance as if it were second nature. The totem mage can expend a number of prepared spells level up to his current totem mage level to as a spell-like ability summon animals of his totem’s species. The animals appear on his turn and in a number equal to the number of spells level expended. 0 level spells can not be expended to use this ability. Other wise this ability functions like the summon nature’s ally spell. Example: A totem mage with raven totem, has fireball prepared (a 3rd level spell). He expends the fireball for summon totem, and summons 3 ravens to his aid.

The Hybrid Lycanthrope shape of the totem’s type does not have the ability to infect others (see page 175 of the Monstrous Manual for rules on creating a lycanthrope), and has NO damage reduction. This ability also allows for mild alterations in the shape’s colors, and appearance, but does not allow any further deviation from the list above.

Summon Dire Totem (Sp): At 5th level the totem mage learns can now call upon the Dire version of his totem for help and assistance. The totem mage can expend a 2 prepared spell levels up to his current totem mage level to as a spell-like ability summon dire animals of his totem’s species. The animals appear on his turn and in a number equal to the number of spells expended. 0 level spells can not be expended to use this ability. Other wise this ability functions like the summon nature’s ally spell. Example: A totem mage with raven totem, has stone shape prepared (a 4th level spell). He expends the stone shape for a summon dire totem, and summons 2 dire ravens to his aid. If he were to use a 3rd level spell then the odd level would summon a normal totem. So, in the case above he would call a Dire Raven, and a normal Raven. Note: See the Dire animal template in the New Spells section under the spell Dire Metamorphosis for converting any animal into a dire version. Summon Elemental totem (Sp): At 8th level the totem mage ability to call upon the species of his familiar for help and assistance grows even more powerful. This ability works the same as Summon Totem and Summon Dire Totem, however for every 3 prepared spells expended equal to his current totem mage level to as a spell-like ability summon one dire elemental (air, earth, fire, or water) version of his totem type. 0 level spells can not be expended to use this ability. Other wise this ability functions like the summon nature’s ally spell. Note: See the Dire animal template below for converting any animal into a dire version. Elemental templates can be found in the “Manual of the Planes” page 191. Shapechange (Sp): At 10th level the totem mage may use his totem shape ability to take on a lycanthrope form based on

Game Mechanics

Weapons the Point Blank rule applies to: All Crossbows, All Fire Arms, etc.

Natural 20's

Weapons the Point Blank rule does NOT apply to: Slings, Sling Shots, Javelins, Spears, Staffs, Bows, Thrown Knives, Thrown Axes, Shurikins, etc.

Rolling a Natural 20 is always an utter success in combat. When attacking and you roll a Natural 20 you automatically do a weapon’s critical damage, if it doesn't have one then it is considered to be x2 damage. Also, if you roll a weapon’s critical threat range you roll a second time (on a d20), and if you get another Natural 20 (and only a Natural 20) then the target is instantly killed by a lucky shot (No need to roll damage). The Natural 20 on Initiatives means you go first, if there is a tie then the attacker with the highest Dexterity goes first. On saves, a natural 20 is an unbeatable success. On skills, a natural 20 is also an unbeatable success.

Ground Zero If caught with in 5ft or holding an explosive device (Not a Spell, or Splash Weapon), such as a grenade, stick of dynamite, or other chemical explosive all damage from that explosion is doubled.

Massive Damage If a target or PC takes One point more then 50% of its total Hit Points it must make a Fort Save DC 5 or die from massive damage shock. If the target or PC fails its Fort Save it drops to 0 Hit Points, and falls unconscious, unless it has feats such as "Die Hard". All other rules apply when a Target falls to 0.

Natural 1's The bane of all in my games, a One is a critical botch, and is up to the DM to decide how bad it is for the PC. Things like weapon breaks, trips and falling prone, a free attack of opportunity by the attacker, or receiving full damage from the previous blow, or the reason for the roll in the first place are all things that can happen (It is up to the DM to decide). The Natural 1 on Initiatives means you dead last in the round, as you were confused, distracted, tripped, or your weapon stuck in it sheath just to name a few, but you do get to take an action. On saves, a natural 1 is an unbeatable Failure. On skills, a natural 1 is also an unbeatable Failure. A 1 should rarely result by it self in death, however if damage is full and the PC loses sufficient Hit Points they may die all from the 1. Or if a Massive damage save is required, and a 1 is rolled then the PC most likely is struck dead. All of which is up to the DM to decide the effect. No bonuses, or defenses can save a PC for the effects of a One.

Negative Damage When some one falls to 0 they have a Negative 10 Points +1 for each of their total levels before they are dead, a 4th level PC has -14 pts before they are completely dead, and 20th level has -30 pts. All PCs regardless of amount of Negative Damage they have fall unconscious, and suffer all Normal Negative effects at 0 hit points.

Sneak Attacks Sneak attacks are only allowable when a target is Surprised, Blinded, Pinned, Grappled or flanked by the attacker making the sneak attack. If the attacker succeeds on a grapple check the attacker gets a free and automatic hit on a sneak attack from behind. The Grapple has to be done on a target completely from behind, or flanked. Example: A thief makes a grapple check with his left hand to cover and silence a targets mouth, if he succeeds the target if muffled, and held steady while the thief plunges his knife into the kidney of the poor guard.

Called Shots (Version 1) When making an attack you may allocate an attack as a "Called Shot" attempting to hit a small area on the target, which if successful automatically does damage rolled x2 for that weapon, then you add your strength or what ever other modifiers or special damage you have (Sneak Attack, etc.). A Called Shot is a FULL ROUND ACTION, and only one attack maybe made in the same round as a called shot (unless you have quick marksman, or quick accurate blade feats; See below). A called shot takes a -4 penalty to the roll (unless you have the marksman, or accurate blade feats; see below).

Parrying an Attack A defender can attempt to parry most melee attacks. This is done by blocking an attacker’s blow and with a weapon, shield, bracer, gauntlet, or hand (unarmed parries against weapons result in injury, unless you have the feat unarmed strike). Characters with a base attack of +1 or carrying a shield can make a single parry with out losing an action. Ranged attacks can not be parried, nor can flanking attacks or attacks that are considered flanking.

Point Blank Range When firing some ranged weapons at a target with in 5ft it is called “Point Blank Range”, firing any ranged weapon that close to a target provokes an attack of opportunity. However, if you are successful in hitting the target your damage is doubled. This rule only applies to ranged weapon that gain no strength modifier for damage.

To Parry, you must roll a d20 add your total Base Attack, and Dexterity modifier, and Shield Bonus (If you have a shield):

42

D20 +Base Attack Bonus + Dexterity Modifier + Shield Bonus = Parry

If combat is about to begin everyone gets a spot or listen check against an opponents hide, or move silently checks. The winner, and his party is considered to have a +1 initiative against the Highest loser of the opposing party. If both opponents are attacking each other with out any attempts to surprise then roll initiative as normal.

Dodge A character may attempt to dodge an attack, this is done by moving out of the way of an attack. A dodge ALWAYS takes a move action, or a full round action if you base attack is less then +1. To dodge you must roll better then the attacker’s strike. If you fight defensively (i.e. do nothing but move or dodge) you get an additional +2 to you dodge roll.

Surprise Attack

D20+(AC - Base 10 ( +2 if you are fighting defensively).

Attackers if successful at their hide, and/or move silently checks or are invisible get a Surprise Attack Round. In this round the attackers gets only a Single Attack Action. The defenders are caught Flat Footed, and allowed NO Action, except those with weapons readied, or the ability to parry without weapons gets a defensive parry attempt. Those with out weapons readied may attempt a Dodge however.

Initiative

Full Hit Die

To Dodge, you must roll a d20 add your Armor Class, and Subtract 10:

Every round each individual combatant rolls initiative at the beginning of each round. Natural 20's goes first, then Highest numbers next, and finally lowest last, with Natural 1's going last that round (but do not lose their attack round).

Something I do is give at every level that a character increases; they automatically get full Hit Die (No Rolls) plus your Constitution Modifier. So A Wizard gets 4 Hit Points (HP) every Level, A rogue 6 HP, Fighter 10 HP, etc. plus, Con bonus of course. However, that means that Monsters also get max hit points per Hit Die.

Weapon Speed Weapons are heavy, some are down right unwieldy, all but the smallest and lightest will penalize your initiative. The charts in the PHB do not mention or offer weapons speed, however the penalty a weapon causes is relative to its weight. To calculate a weapons speed and there by its bonus or negative to your initiative see the weapons weight, and divide it by 2 (for odd numbers round down), this is the penalty to your initiative when attacking with that weapon in the round.

Evasion At 2nd level, a rogue gains evasion. If exposed to any effect that normally allows a character to attempt a Reflex saving throw for half damage (such as a fireball), she takes half of half the damage with a successful saving throw (Ex: a rogue gets hit with a fireball for 24 pts, she make her reflex save, were others would take 12 pts, she only takes 6. Evasion can only be used if the rogue is wearing light armor or no armor. It is an extraordinary ability.

Example 1: A longsword weighs 4 lbs. 4 divided by 2 = 2. So, if you are using a long sword then you take a -2 penalty to you initiative rolls (so does every one else using a longsword).

Drawing your weapon Drawing a weapon takes a move action, unless you have the feat Quick Draw

Example 2: A short spear weighs 3 lbs. 3 divided by 2 = 1.5, round down to 1. If you are using a short spear then you take a -2 penalty to you initiative rolls.

Armor gets Damage Reduction Armor not only makes it harder to hit you, but when you do get hit it absorbs some of the damage for you. When it does it takes that damage onto it self, weakening it. Each class of armor grants a different amount of damage reduction, and has a set of its own hit points. When you are hit, the DM reduces the number of hit point you takes (based on the armors DR), and subjects that from the armors hit points. When a set of Armor reaches 0 hit points it no longer grants you an armor bonus, and is destroyed beyond repair. The spell Mending, or the skill Craft (Armor smith) can restore armor that has at least 1 hp left. Make Whole can restore destroyed armor.

Example 3: A dagger weighs 1 lb. 1 divided by 2 = 0.5, round down to 0. Using a dagger give a -1 penalty to you Weapons that do not penalize you are all ranged weapons, weapons with range increment (only when thrown), weapon with less then 1 lb. of weight, and all natural attacks (Claws, Bite, etc). An explanation is due; firing a crossbow is a pulling of the trigger lever quick and simple, you are not penalized for reloading the weapon, same goes for Bows. Throwing a weapon is a simple flick of the wrist, and takes little effort is the weapon is designed for such a use; however weapons that aren’t design to be thrown remain unwieldy.

movement), and have adequate shelter (Staying out of the cold, water, and/or moist air). A Heal DC 15 will cure the infection by surgically remove the infected area (amputation of the limb infected, or if in the surgically remove the area, a Heal DC 25 to surgically remove the infected area or Heal DC 15 to amputate a limb. Such prolonged infections will result a -1d2 permanent Constitution loss.

Disease due to Exposure

Magical enhancements on armor do nothing to Armors DR, except for Invulnerability enhancement which replaces an armors DR with the enhancement of DR 5/-. Armor does nothing to protect against energy effects from other sources like fire, or acid. Armor will help absorb damage from any spell that requires a ranged or melee attack of any kind.

If a PC suffers damage form exposure they must make a Fort save with a -1 to their Fort Save (DC 20) for every point of damage they took from the exposure. If they fail just one save they set up "pneumonia", "the flu", or "severe respiratory infection". When a PC gets such infections they gain a fever with in 1d3 days, suffer Fatigue (from hacking coughs and nausea), and begin making Fort Saves DC 20, until 3 successful Heal checks are made (one a day, DC 15) and 1d4 days are spent resting out of the elements. For each fort save the PCs fails they fall to Exhaustion (from high fever), and lose 1d4 temporary Con every day until they reach zero, at which time they die. A Heal DC 10 will notice, and identify the infection, and a Heal DC 20 every time a PC makes a fort save, to use your check roll or his Fort Save which ever is higher to resist Con loss. Unless an herbal or magical potion (Cure Disease) is administered, recovery however will still take 1 day for each point of Con lost, the infected person must stay in bed (no movement), and have adequate shelter (Staying out of the cold, water, and/or moist air).

Injury Taking damage hurts and ultimately weakens the combatant. When taking damage the character takes no penalty till they have lost 75% of their hit points. At which time they injured character suffers a -4 to strength & dexterity which is stacked with any other penalties such as fatigue, or exhaustion, and a -4 to all saves and skill checks, they must make a concentration check (DC 20) to cast any spells. This penalty remains till they are either healed, or reach 0 hit points and become incapacitated, or die.

Healing With out Healing If you have no Cleric, but a Healing Skill, a DC of 15 will stabilize a dieing PC, and heal 1d3 points of Damage. If injuries are left totally untreated there is a -1 to their Fort Save (DC 20) for every injury they took in battle, plus another -1 for each day the wound is untreated toward getting a disease. See page 146 of the players handbook for healing rules. Note: Instead of gaining 1 hit point per character levels they or any other gain 1 hit point per Hit Dice.

Cost of Death If a PC dies, it sucks… They are dead and gone, unless they can be brought back some how. If the PC manages to be resurrected, reincarnated, or wished back from the dead they take a permanent -1 to their Constitution, and are marked super naturally (It shows up on true seeing, see aura, and other forms of divination spells), not to mention the PC may act a little different. Strange some how (This can only be role-played and is up to the player). The DM may give the PC some sort of psychosis, or phobia that the PCs has no control over, or animals may have to make a Will Save when ever the PC comes close or bark, react, or run away. Also, they lose any experience for anything the party did after they died, and before they were brought back.

Disease Infections due to injuries While PCs in a RPG are heartier then most they can still get infections from injuries, and even poisons. If a PC suffers damage form exposure they must make a Fort save with a -1 to their Fort Save (DC 20) for every Injury they took in battle. If they fail just one save they set up "Sepsis", "Tetness", or "Gang-Green". When a PC gets such infections they gain a fever with in 1d3 days, suffer Fatigue, and begin making Fort Saves DC 20, until 3 successful Heal checks are made (one a day, DC 15) and 1d4 days are spent resting out of the elements. For each fort save the PCs fails they fall to Exhaustion (from high fever), and lose 1d4 temporary Con every day until they reach zero, at which time they die. A Heal DC 10 will notice, and identify the infection, and a Heal DC 20 every time a PC makes a fort save, to use your check roll or his Fort Save which ever is higher to resist Con loss. Unless an herbal or magical potion (Cure Disease) is administered, recovery however will still take 1 day for each point of Con lost, the infected person must stay in bed (no

Cost of Alignment Shift Alignment Shifting is a mildly distracting and annoying ordeal. If your character has been one alignment all his life, with all the out looks, and personality of that alignment, and they go through some sort of life changing view (Players wish, in character trauma, or a change of class, etc.) the PC is left slightly unsure of how to go about dealing morally with situations they were sure about as the former alignment. As a result, the PC take a one time only 10% XP hit at the end of that game. If their Class was

Anything from the book of Vile Darkness is considered Forbidden lore, and simply possessing it is the 1d3+level/rank corruption, using it is 1d3+level/rank depravity (in addition to what ever cost it requires).

Alignment Dependent, then the following effects happen: •

That First Game Session -1 level to all Special Abilities (Feats), and Spell Casting Powers. But NOT to Hit Points, Saves, or Skills.

•

The Second game session, another -1 level to all Special Abilities (Feats), and Spell Casting Powers. But NOT to Hit Points, Saves, or Skills.

•

The Third and final Game Session, a final -2 levels to all Special Abilities (Feats), and Spell Casting Powers. But NOT to Hit Points, Saves, or Skills. After this any powers, spell casting abilities, or feats that may remain the PC may use in their new Alignment as long as they use them to further that alignments ends.

It remains the DM decision what type of taint something gives off. The effects of taint are recorded on page 62-68 of the book Heroes of Horror, with the following differences. Every character has 1 point of corruption and depravity at start, when they reach 26 points of either they are considered Mildly Tainted and may pick any feat from any book for free, even if they don’t met the prerequisites. BUT… They must take a mild taint flaw. When the PC reaches 51 points of either they are considered Moderately Tainted and may pick another feat from any book for free, even if they don’t met the prerequisites. BUT… They must take a moderate taint flaw. When the PC reaches 76 points of either they are considered Severely Tainted and may pick yet another feat from any book for free, even if they don’t met the prerequisites. BUT… They must take a severe taint flaw.

Taint Taint is recorded on page 62-68 of the book Heroes of Horror and further rules can be found there.

When the PC reaches 100 points of either they are considered unredeemable and dead insane, they effectively become NPCs at that point and are lost to the darkness.

Some Places, Beings, Items, and Spells are so evil that it warps and corrupts all creatures and things that come into contact with them. Think of it a kind of a dark radiation, any exposed to it for to long become sick and twisted. Taint replaces alignment; there is no good version of Taint. You either are or are not tainted. Detect Evil Spells detect the level and location of a taint in a target, and Detect Good detects anyone with 25 or less taint points. Taint comes from the company you keep, the items possess, the locations you stay in, and from the most extreme choices you make. It is relatively hard to gain taint, but it is even harder to rid your self of it. There are two types of taint; Corruption (which afflicts all things physical), and Depravity (which afflicts all things mental). Corruption is attained through physical acts of evil, or physically coming into contact with evil, or its spell like effects (casting or hit by). Undead always grant corruption. Every time a PC gains corruption more then their Constitution modifier they must make a Fort Save DC 15 + Corruption or be nauseated for 1d4 rounds, if successful they are just sickened for 1d4 rounds. Depravity is attained through witnessing, or seeing acts of evil and their results, or seeing or communicating with creatures of pure evil, like evil outsiders whom always grant depravity. Every time a PC gains depravity more then their Wisdom modifier they must make a Will Save DC 15 + Depravity or be stunned for 1d4 rounds, if successful they are just dazed for 1d4 rounds.

Energy Effects Note on multiple energy effects: If a PC takes more then one extreme energy effect before he can recover form the last, the PC suffers the worst of the two penalties, and an additional -2 is added to all his current penalties, an additional 1d6 for each roll on the chart to the amount of time he is stunned and due to extreme pain, and

must make a Fort Save DC 10 -2 for each roll on the chart to make any attempt to walk, climb, crawl, swim, etc. If a PC receives more then 2 + his total hit die he will die with in 1d3 hours from trauma, regardless of his hit points.

Force Effect Any Force, Explosive, or Concussive effects, like Magic Missile, Fire Ball, Lightening Bolt, Chain Lightening, etc. have the potential to knock targets down with the force. All targets hit, or in the area of effect (Even those who made their saves) must make an additional Reflex Save vs. the spells DC. Those that fail are thrown 1d8 feet to the ground, at which time they are classed as Prone, and suffer all penalties of (See Pg. 151 PHB). If the spell has no save (like Magic Missiles) then the Reflex DC is against the caster, as if the spell had a save DC.

Acid

When hit with acid, acid doesn't just go away. Acid is often a viscous liquid that loses it vitality as it oxidizes (which causes the side effect of eating everything it touches). In the first round acid deals its full damage (as rolled by the dice), the second round it deals half the damage rolled, and on the third and final round it deals ¼th the damage rolled (Round Up). When hit with more then 75% of targets Hit Points of damage at once roll on the chart below. If 100% of a target’s Hit Points is taken then roll twice: A Successful Alchemy DC 15, and a full round of dedication to neutralizing the acid, and a base on hand can stop the Acids continuing effects, but does provoke an attack of opportunity.

Spell Points & Magic

49

Spell Points

Metamagic and spell points Metamagic feats now have no prerequisites and can be taken at any level, and spells no longer need to be prepared with a metamagic feat, and may be cast on the fly. In this system you don’t have to prepare a spell for a Metamagic feat, just add the extra cost at casting. To use spell points with metamagic feat is simple; each feat requires that a spell be cast a number of slots higher then normal. Take that number of spell slots higher a spell must be cast at (lets say Maximize Spell, has to be cast 3 slots higher; so “3”), that number is how many extra spell points you have to spend to apply the metamagic effects (so a magic missile cost 1 spell point, maximized adds 3 spell points to the cost which equals 4 spell points to cast).

Using spell points opens up versatility and greater power for spell casters. Below is the chart of how much a spell normally costs.

Spell Point Cost for Spells: Spell Level 0 1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th 6th 7th 8th 9th

Spell Casting Cost 0* 1 3 5 7 9 11 13 15 17

Heighten Spell is the only exception to this rule, a heightened spell cost what ever level it is cast at (a 1st level heightened spell cast as a 5th level costs 9 spell points instead of the usual 1).

* 0 Level Spells cost NO spell points to cast. If a spell caster is capable of casting 0 level spells, he can cast a number of 0 level spells per day equal to 3 + the number of spell points granted at 1st level for that class.

Spell Augmentation With spell points you can augment the level of a spell for the cost of 1 spell points per level. You may lengthen the duration, add a few feet to the range, and increase the number of dice of damage (but not the DC). For each level you want to increase a spell you add 1 to the spell point cost. Example: Monster Summoning I, you wish the duration to be 3 rounds longer. That requires the duration to be 3 level higher, that will cost 3 extra spell points (3 levels higher x 1 = 3). So, the total cost for casting a monster summoning I that last 3 rounds longer is 4 spell points (3 levels higher x 1 = 3 + 1 = 4).

Bonus Spell Points The spell point system does not allow for extra spells to be granted for high ability scores, instead the spell caster gains additional spell points per level. The chart below shows additional spell points attained for exceptional ability scores. The numbers shown on the chart are totals, and not additions. Example: Some one with a 14-15 has a total of 1 extra spell point at first level, and a total of 4 extra spell points at 3rd level (when they gain 2nd level spells).

moves at half speed and takes a –6 penalty to Strength and Dexterity. After 1 hour of complete rest, an exhausted character becomes fatigued. A fatigued character becomes exhausted by doing something else that would normally cause fatigue.)

Another example: a 1st level magic missile cost 1 spell point to cast; you want to increase the level by 2 (going from a 1d4+1 to a 2d4+2). This would cost 2 extra spell points (1 spell point for each level required, 2 in this case, 1 + 2 = 3), add that to the base cost of 1 and the total is 3 spell points to cast a 2d4+2 magic missiles.

% of Spells Left Condition of Spell Caster.

There is a limit to this, you can’t increase the level of a spell above your current spellcasting class level of damage, or raise the damage of a spell above its maximum.

So why have metamagic feats? Technically, the spell point system grants metamagic abilities to all spell casters, however metamagic feats on the whole reduces the cost, and increases the affect of the spells. Example: Extend Spell cost 1 extra spell point to double the duration of any spell it is added to. Spell Augmenting cost 1 spell points per level of increase (Just for one level).

Magical Mishaps When ever a magic item, scroll, or spell is misused, cast by someone who does not know what they are doing, suffers a spell failure, or is damaged during casting roll on the table below. If a Natural 1 is rolled, roll on the table twice.

Spell Weakening

Magical Mishap Table:

With spell points you can also choose to spend less spell points to cast a weaker version of a higher spell. For example: fireball, lets say your party is getting mauled by a pack of kobolds. A fireball normally cost 5 spell points to cast at 3rd level and does 3d6 points of damage. If you subtract 2 spell points from the cost you can reduce the damage by a d6. So, if you subtract 4 spell points from you 5th level fireball you cast it as a 1st level fireball doing only 1d6 points of damage. Your party can handle that, but the kobolds can’t. Of course weakening a spell is not possible on a 0 or 1st level spell. You can voluntarily reduce a 0 or 1st level spell, but the cost would remain the same.

D% 01-10

The Draining effect of Spellcasting

51-60

Spellcasters can potentially cast a great number of spells in a day, but every spell cast is a potential burden on the caster's health and vitality. Reaching for and directing magical energy is a dangerous and taxing exercise, at least as difficult as heavy labor or prolonged exertion. This does not change the way a character prepares spells, casts spells, or any of the other rules from that system. When a spellcaster uses 75% of his total spells points in a day (round down) or more, he becomes fatigued. When he has used all his spell points for the day, he becomes exhausted.

61-70

For example, at 1st level Markus the Wizard Has 10 spell points a day. Over the day Markus uses 75% of his total spells points (7.5 spell points, round down. So, 7). He become Fatigued (A fatigued character can neither run nor charge and takes a –2 penalty to Strength and Dexterity. Doing anything that would normally cause fatigue causes the fatigued character to become exhausted. After 8 hours of complete rest, fatigued characters are no longer fatigued.). Then, he uses his last three spell points for the day. Markus is now Exhausted, due to the amount of energy he has expended through out the day. (An exhausted character

Nothing happens, no effect, item not even used, charge lost, or scroll read. Spell takes effect on some random location or target in the area of effect (every one save, lowest suffers effect). Spell affects the items user, instead of target. Spell effect is contrary to normal effect (Example: Baleful to squirrel, target gains ability bonuses of a squirrel). The item caster suffers some minor bizarre effect. (Example: Baleful to squirrel, caster grows permanent buck teeth) Target is affected differently then desired. (Baleful to squirrel, target becomes something else, like an Skunk) Some innocuous item appears in spell area. (Baleful to squirrel, area rains nuts for # of rounds = to Spell Level.) Spell has delayed effect, sometime with in the next 1d12 hours activates. Spell targets the nearest individual in the direction of the original target. If no one but the caster is around then it targets him. Nothing happens, no effect, spell used, charge is lost, or scroll is read.

Permanency: The Permanency spell listed on page 259 of the players hand book, gives limited list of what the spell can do. However, I say that any spell can be made permanent. The minimal caster level is the minimal caster level of the spell to be made permanent, or the permanency spell which ever is higher (The minimal level is 9th) for all spells, and there is an XP and

material component cost (In adamantium dust) however. See the equation below:

he will be marked with moderate features, and if he stays in the new form 12 full moons he will have major features. Another side affect is the character may continue to feel some sort of mental, emotional, or even spiritual connection to the animal species he spent so much time as, but this is entirely up to the player.

XP Cost: Spell Level X 100XP + Caster Level (9th or higher) x 100XP = XP Cost Material Cost (Adamantium Dust): Spell Level X 250gp + Caster Level (9th or higher) x 250gp = Material Component Cost NOTE: A note on Power Words, Runes, Symbols, & Glyphs: Power Word, Rune, Symbol, & Glyph spells regardless of effect or listed school are considered apart of the Universal school.

What happens if the character fails a save against another Baleful Polymorph? Well, nothing until he spends one full moon longer in the new animal shape then the first animals shape. Then the new animal’s features will mark the character. This however is a completely optional rule however, especially if the character has taken the below feat, or flaw.

Polymorphs lasting effects:

Mark of the Beast [Flaw]: Some where in your past you failed your save on a polymorph spell, and you spent time in another shape. The experience altered you in some way that is noticeable to this day.

The longer you spend in the shape of another, especially when the form was forced on to you has the possibility of leaving a lasting mark on you when dispelled. Spending a few minute, hours, or even days is not enough to mark you in this manner. But each passing month (especially if you failed the secondary saving throw) as you grow accustomed to the form it has greater chance of leaving a lasting physical effect on you.

Effect: This flaw is the result of baleful polymorph, where an individual spent a considerable amount of time as an animal before the effect was dispelled. Your hair may still be feathers, or people mistake you for a werebeast, you may have the eyes and voice of an ass. The physical marks on you are not the only changes. People can sense the beast about you, they find you uncomfortable to behold.

When you are freed from the affects of this spell (if ever) you may keep some appearance of the animal you were. If you were changed into a white rabbit your hair might stay stark white. If you were turned into a raven you hair may be iridescent black. These are minor features.

Anyone with an Intelligence of 4 or more, you meet starts off one attitude lower towards you (Helpful, Friendly, Indifferent, Unfriendly, Hostile.), and all check DCs to change their attitude is 10 higher.

A more prolonged stay as a beast might leave you with more prominent features. If you were changed into a white rabbit your hair might stay stark white, and you may be covered in soft white fuzz, and have buck teeth. If you were turned into a raven you hair may be iridescent black feathers, and your finger and toe nails are permanently black. These are moderate features.

Note: Information and charts on Attitudes is found on page 72 of the players hand book.

Touch of the Beast [Spelltouched]

Yet still a longer prolonged stay as a beast might leave you with more unnerving prominent characteristics. If you were changed into a white rabbit your hair might stay stark white, and you may be covered in soft white fuzz, have buck teeth, your ear maybe noticeably longer (much like an elfs), your eye may remain like that of a rabbits, and you maybe shorter and your face a little longer. If you were turned into a raven you hair may be iridescent black feathers, your finger and toe nails are permanently black and elongated, your nose maybe longer and more pointy, your eyes maybe the same in appearance as a ravens. These are major features (In short you may look like a shifter; see Eberron Campaign setting). None of these lasting effects give any bonuses or penalties to your character, unless you take the spell touched feat Touch of the beast, or the flaw Mark of the beast.

Prerequisite: Must have failed or relented a saving throw against Baleful Polymorph, or Greater Baleful Polymorph. Benefits: The affect character has lasting features from the affect of a baleful polymorph spell leaving him with traits of the animal he spent time as. He gains a +2 enhancement bonus to Strength, Dexterity, or Constitution (which ever is higher for the animal he was. Ex: a mule would be Constitution, a cat Dexterity), and he gains a +2 empathy on all charisma rolls when interacting with an animal of the same type. This feat also allows the character to pick racial abilities (as feats), and feats previously unavailable to him, from the list below if the animal form he had, had such ability: Alertness, Endurance, Low-Light Vision, Natural Attack (Grants a claw and bite attack doing 1d3 for medium creatures), Run, Scent, Skill Enhancement (Take 10 when threatened on the animals prime skill), Track, Weapon Finesse.

A good rule of thumb is that if a character is hit with baleful polymorph or grater baleful polymorph and stays in the form of an animal until the next full moon he will be left with minor features, if he stays in the new form 6 full moons

Old Spells

Monstrous Manual, or book of familiars), and apply the appropriate template to it (Celestial for Good or Neutral Clerics and Wizards, Fiendish for Evil or Neutral Clerics, and Wizards, and Arcane for Wizards only), when you summon you summon only that creature, and you can NOT change that choice each time you cast the spell (This cuts down on confusion and time during the game). The player is responsible for the creature summoned, and should have a stat sheet for it. This selection will grow with higher level Monster Summoning Spells. A summoned monster cannot summon or otherwise conjure another creature, nor can it use any teleportation or planar travel abilities.

A Note: on Power Words, Runes, Symbols, & Glyphs: Power Word, Rune, Symbol, & Glyph spells regardless of effect or listed school are considered apart of the Universal school.

Odd colored fur, or flesh, blank glowing eyes, with a glowing rune on its fore head.

(See Pg. 237) Additionally, the grease is flammable and, if lit by fire, inflicts damage similar to that of alchemist's fire. The fire burns for 1d3 rounds and deals ld6 points of damage each round to any creature that is within the area or attempts to pass through it. Finally, the spell's slippery properties may be neutralized with the application of alcohol, or casting the spell Glue (Relics & Rituals by Sword & Sorcery Studios).

Size and Type: Animals or vermin with this template become magical beasts, but otherwise the creature type is unchanged. Size is unchanged. Arcane creatures encountered on the Material Plane have the extraplanar subtype. Special Attacks: An arcane creature retains all the special attacks of the base creature and also gains the following attack. True Strike (Su): Once per day an arcane creature gains a +20 insight bonus on a single attack. Additionally, it is not affected by the miss chance that applies when attacking a concealed target.

Dire Animal Template Creator’s Note: This template will not create the dire animals found in the Monster Manual. Most dire animals created from this template will be stronger than their MM counterparts, though some will be slightly weaker. This is intended to steer away from the favoritism shown the dire wolf, and to increase the distinction between certain normal animals and their dire versions (such as the poor dire ape, which gets a mere +1 to Strength). Dire animals are larger, tougher, meaner versions of normal animals. They tend to have a feral, prehistoric look. Dire animals are often created by malicious wizards or dark clerics in twisted experiments. They serve as powerful guardians, often just as wild predators in the terrain around the creator’s home.

Creating A Dire Animal “Dire animal” is a template that can be added to any animal that is not already a dire animal (referred to hereafter as the “base creature”). The creature’s type remains “animal.” Dire animals are usually only created from predatory animals. Size: Increase size by one level. Hit Dice: Same as base creature plus 4 hit dice. If base creature has a fraction of a hit die, the dire animal then has 4 hit dice. Speed: Same as base creature. AC: Natural armor improves by +2. Attacks: Same as base creature.

Damage: Increase all damage ratings by one die type, to a maximum of d12. Special Attacks: Same as base creature. Choose one of the following special attacks/abilities for the dire animal (if prerequisite is met): Ability Bonus: The dire animal gains a +4 to its Strength, Dexterity, Constitution, or Charisma score. Blood Drain (Ex): (Prerequisite: A dire animal must have the Attach ability to have this ability.) The dire animal drains blood for 2d4 points of temporary Constitution damage each round it remains attached. Disease (Ex): (Prerequisite: A dire animal must have a bite attack to have this ability.) Filth fever—bite, Fortitude save (DC 12), incubation period 1d3 days; damage 1d3 temporary Dexterity and 1d3 temporary Constitution (see Disease, page 74 in the Dungeon Master’s Guide). Natural Armor: The dire animal gains a +2 natural bonus to AC (in additional to all other natural bonuses). Fast Movement (Ex): Any one of the creature’s modes of movement are increased by 10ft. Improved Natural Attack (Ex): Choose one of the creature’s natural attack forms. The damage for this natural weapon increases by one step, as if the creature’s size had increased by one category: 1d2, 1d3, 1d4, 1d6, 1d8, 2d6, 3d6, 4d6, 6d6, 8d6, 12d6. Rend (Ex): (Prerequisite: A dire animal must have 2 claw attacks to have this ability.) If the dire animal hits with both claw attacks, it latches onto the opponent’s body and tears the flesh. This automatically deals double the animal’s claw damage again. If the claw damage is 1d2 or 1d3, the damage dealt is 1d4+1 or 1d6+1 (respectively), plus the animal’s Strength bonus.

68

Swallow Whole (Ex): (Prerequisite: A dire animal must be of Huge size or larger to have this ability.) The dire animal can try to swallow a grabbed opponent of Medium-size or smaller size by making a successful grapple check. Once inside, the opponent takes 2d6+6 points of crushing damage plus 1d8+4 points of acid damage per round from the dire animal’s digestive juices. A swallowed creature can cut its way out using claws or a light-slashing weapon by dealing 25 points of damage to the dire animal’s digestive tract (AC 20). Once the creature exits, muscular action closes the hole; another swallowed opponent must cut its own way out. The dire animal’s gullet can hold two Medium-size, four Small, eight Tiny, sixteen Diminutive, or thirty-two Fine or smaller opponents. Tracking (Ex): (Prerequisite: A Guardian Familiar must have the track feat to have this ability.)The creature gains a +4 bonus on survival checks made to follow tracks.

Abilities: Increase from base creature as follows: Str +10, Dex +2, Con +2, Int +0, Wis +0, Cha +2 Skills: Same as base creature. Feats: Same as base creature. Animals with Weapon Finesse (natural weapon) lose this feat if their Strength is higher than their Dexterity. Climate/Terrain: Same as base creature. Organization: Same as base creature.
