Now that is an original idea. I thought I'd seen all the explanations, that's the first one in a while that's been completely different. :)

Specialization is a great role-playing tool. It makes your wizard stand out from the crowd and gives his spells a theme. It's also powerful game-wise for giveing you the extra spell per level per day. I think it fits even better to sorcerors than wizards. If your spells are inborn, it seems only nat...

The SRD, for all your "I don't have my books" needs: http://srd.pbemnexus.com/ :) Yeah, it's 6th level when a Sorc gets 3rd level spells. Until then, it's Magic Missile and Scorching Ray. I think the skill points aren't a bad idea. Or maybe have bonus spells for high charisma affect spells...

Personally, the only change I'd make for the sorcerer would be to somehow give them the possibility to change their spells repertoire at some point. That's exactly what they did in 3.5, by the way. It's not much, but it's something. (I think one spell switch every 4 levels, or so.) I've never actua...

I have in the past played Rifts and Toon and VtM. I've got DC Heroes and Ghostbusters RPG stuff that I've never played. Other than that, D&D is my first love and I pretty much have seen no reason to change. Other than RPG's, of course, I play LOTS of stuff. I'm a board/card game nut, and try to ...

I've done it. not a pretty picture. I think it was around 11 or 12 PC's and me DMing, going through NotwD. They didn't even make it to town. Bad Idea. With an assistant, maybe. (I was in high school, and some of my friends asked me to DM, so I agreed, but then word got around and friends of friends ...

Re: Van Richten and The Time Of Unparalleled Darkness

do you think this scenario will ever come to fruition? look, i've been waiting for seven years now and there STILL no inkling of when this scenario will be released. you've got a bit more waiting to do. Current RL time is 758BC. The TOUD isn't coming until 775. (25 yrs after VR's disappearance).

We of the Ravenloft catalogue have been trying to find Stu for a while now. (Daisu in particular has been looking for him even longer.) He seems to have pulled a Van Richten. Hope he's OK.

And yes, it gets under my skin when people say you can't do such and such in your own RL campaign. It may break with tradition, it may never resemble canon in the slightest, and I personally may gag at the concept, but for people to say that you can't do it is not only immature, it's downright fals...

I'm not sure what you mean about slow advancement. I like the point buy system for its flexibility and fairness. If a player has a great idea for a character, I don't want him not to be able to play it because he rolled poorly.

I think even in a moderate-magic setting as the World of Greyhawk, villagers would run away screaming for their lives if a half-dragon approaches them... But he told me that he looks exactly like a normal human. Who has claws. And razor sharp teeth. And breaths fire. From the SRD: "Half-dragon...

3.I don't know about the serial killer thing (is it in Gaz IV?). Yes, IMO, this is the only indication of continuing evil from her part, but this is sooo human and common. And I think that in the last 5 years she has restricted herself to the double-game (the wolfwere and the rebel). In fact, the G...
