Re: d20 Rebirth
Hey Fax are you still continuing with the D20 rebirth series? Do you mind if I use what you currently have to play a game here on the Oots forum, or maybe the mythweavers forum? Also I'd like to commend you for your wondrous effort and ingenious concepts to reform the game

Re: d20 Rebirth
According to Fax's Twitter, he just needs to get himself motivated again. I imagine there's a lot of brainstorming/background work going on as well.

Well, hopefully he pops back to the forums, at the very least.

Re: d20 Rebirth
Dude can take as long as he wants! I don't really like most of his work, but the dedication he has to it is amazing. Most people can't bring themselves to focus on a project like this, but Fax can. Gogo Fax!
All that I say applies only to myself. You author your own actions and choices. I cannot and will not be responsible for you, nor are you for me, regardless of situation or circumstance.

Re: d20 Rebirth
I fully agree with you. The guy can take off for as long as he wants. I'm also not a fan of everything in the Rebirth, but this is the most ambitious, and well thought-out, item I've ever seen here. And I've already "lifted" the Skills and Skill Sets section and the Investing Feats section from here for the d20 Middle Earth Homebrew that I'm working on (although I'm also looking at what "Iron Heroes" did with in their "investing feats" too for some ideas).
Keep it up, Fax.Last edited by Al-Ashrad; 2009-05-02 at 12:22 PM. Reason: I'm a grammar moron

Re: d20 Rebirth
He already has. Check out the Ameena.
Personally, if nothing else, I think everyone should take a note of how Fax handled the races, my absolute favorite part of the project so far. The streamlined (but not purged, like in 4e) skill systems and the investing/racial feats are also tremendously amazing.

Re: d20 Rebirth
I remembered some discussion about Favored Class on the Dwarf racial thread. While browsing the Faxapedia, I was looking at Serpents and Sewers. Satyr had the interesting idea of granting either 1 bonus hit point or skill point to a race that takes levels in their favored class. This also works for humans and their knack for always having oodles of skills.

Re: d20 Rebirth
That's an idea that is actually cannibalized from the Pathfinder roleplaying game made by Paizo, or the Beta version thereof, at least. Not that it isn't a much better idea than multiclassing penalties.

Re: d20 Rebirth
Hey... it [i]is[//I] a better idea as a gratification works better as a motivator than a punishment. This is basic didactics.
And in Serpents and Sewers, characters have actually at least 3 favorite classes (2 per species, and one class which is favorised by everyone) and can get more through an individual background which is determined at the character creation, up to 5 in total (or six, if the character has a template).
Favorite classes are an interesting tool to form an interconnection between the social and cultural background of a character and his or her later career, as people are formed by the societies they derive from. This works in Serpents and Sewers, as the cultural background is not limited to the character's species, but has an additional (admitedly shallow) level for the cultural background.

Re: d20 Rebirth
Just to clarify, you are agreeing with me. I used the double negative on purpose to indicate that I felt that the change was one for the better.

Re: d20 Rebirth
Sorry for incurring your righteous wrath, Satyr, but I thought it was a pretty darn cool idea
As far as I know, Fax hasn't figured out a plan for Favored Classes or multiclassing.
Speaking of which, in about a month or so, my group and I are going to do some playtesting of d20r, starting at level 4. The races/classes to be used are as follows:
- Half-Giant Dreadnaught
- Soulstitched Medium (using those stats I sent you, Fax)
- Drow Fencer (Replacing unfinished Brave Fencer feat with a Fighter Bonus Feat)
- Human Monk (or possibly Paladin)
- Elf Cartomancer

I think it's quite clearly time to summon Fax back.

I'll grab the virgins, ceremonial pie totem, mustard vat, and the Feathered Bracer of Epicosity. You guys draw the polyhedral summoning circle and go ahead and glue together the Toothbrushes of Despair while I'm getting the components.

Re: d20 Rebirth
I'll go buy a turkey. It should increase our chances of success, since Fax likes turkey.
Well, who doesn't?

Actually, if you remember your Giantitology, the Feathered Bracer of Epicosity is made from turkey feathers, among others. But, sure, a few dozen turkeys couldn't hurt.

Re: d20 Rebirth
The polyhedral circle should be drawn in Mountain Dew, just to make sure.

Re: d20 Rebirth
Fax actually hasn't posted anything in over a month. It might be traveling, it might be internet being cut, it might be any number of things, but for all we know he's not going to show up anymore.
I would really like to see a game made by Obryn, Kurald Galain, and Knaight from these forums.

Re: d20 Rebirth
Well, throw the basics of your idea into a post and we can probably give you some inspiration or motivation there. I haven't been posting on this thread (that I remember, at least), but I've been following here and on the Faxapedia. I really like what you've been doing so far; don't let the wizard (or lack of one) get you down!

Question for Fax: Is Ledgermain a Trained or Untrained skill? Is it Intelligence-based?

Re: d20 Rebirth
For my Middle Earth d20, I totally lifted Fax' skill sets. I noticed that while some of the skills that absorbed other skills had absorbed skills that were on the same trained/untrained and attribute modifier axis, "Legerdemain" didn't seem to be, since Forgery is an untrained INT-based skill, and Sleight of Hand is a trained DEX-based skill.
So I went with this...
Legerdemain
Trained skill
(INT modifier + DEX modifier)/2.
It seemed like a reasonable enough compromise.Last edited by Al-Ashrad; 2009-05-19 at 11:22 PM.
