Things I’ve worked on, or that I’m working on, intended for publication.
Now to show what the Polyhedral Pantheon might look like in practice. I have completed a worksheet and taken snapshots of it as I went. Overall the sheet took less than an hour to complete, including storing it at different stages and in multiple formats (the Publisher file I was …
The Revisited Polyhedral Pantheon Design technique still has a couple difficulties, though. First, if you use only the Revised System Reference Document (RSRD) you don’t have enough domains. The RSRD includes 22 domains — slightly more than needed if you don’t want the gods to have personal domains, but not …
Yesterday I Revisited Polyhedral Pantheon Design, a method of choosing domains (and indirectly portfolios) for gods in D&D 3.x. It is an update to Polyhedral Pantheon Design, something I wrote several years ago. I overlooked an important part — how clerics work. Overall they are pretty similar to the core …
A few years ago I wrote an article on Polyhedral Pantheon Design. I decided it was finally time to follow up on that post (especially since it predates this blog — it’s here on its original publication date to another location). I was recently looking through Pathfinder’s Advanced Player’s Guide …
I’ve been having conversations with a couple of Echelon d20 site members, held in the posts and pages they’re working on. It seems kind of strange to be chatting back and forth in comments embedded in the post content. I’ve set up a forum to hold discussions on design and …
I recently posted a description in a comment to a blog post of how I handle experience and level gains that I thought I should include on my own site. In considering how to write it, I realized it might be worth exploring a few other models of character development …
Now that GreyKnight’s working on Echelon as a contributor, I figured I’d post new Echelon-related materials to http://www.echelond20.org/ instead of here. I may or may not migrate the existing articles from here to there (probably not), but new material here will likely be more focused on what happens in my …
(Sorry about the title) This talent is still in development. I’m reasonably happy with the Basic, Expert, and Heroic tiers, Legendary looks okay now, but Master could use a bit of awesome and Champion doesn’t have anything yet. Two-Weapon Fighting You are trained to fight well with a melee weapon …
After my recent posts about Ability Pools and their use, including as a resource opponents can target, I thought I would do a bit of simple analysis to see if things are sane or not. So far, I think they are. In this article I am exploring only the effects …
I was thinking yesterday about how I might model in Echelon the Favored Enemy ability of RSRD rangers. I haven’t found a specific answer yet, so what I’ll do here is describe some of my thoughts on it. Writing this down might help clarify my thoughts and lead to a …
