I think this explains why we will never be able to get some real immigration reform, even though we all know it is the right thing to do.
I find it kind of silly that people are complaining about too much choice... The answer to what to do if you don`t like a class seems too obvious to merit typing. I`ll probably never allow gunpowder in my campaign - "probably" being the operative, here. In my humble opinion, if GMs stopped complaining about complexity etc. and instead took the new classes on as a challenge to incorporate into your storyline, it could actually enrich the gaming experience for everyone. You don`t have to do all the classes at once - but challenging yourself to write an adventure that stars , say, an Alchemist one week, and maybe a Summoner the next may force you out of your comfort zone and actually inspire you to come up with a plot that goes beyond killing orcs and buying magic items...
Wow, you guys gave me plenty to think about! For starters I am going to base my Gnolls on Mike Welham`s Cackle of the Gnolls (see his link, above). I`m going to use his base stats for barbarians and rangers, and the alternate Savant stats for the Druids and Clerics. In the meantime, I am working on a Gnoll specific "Hyena/ Hyaendon Shaman" Druid Alternate, as well as Hyena Domain for Druids opting to go that route. Also, I plan on factoring some sort of ride bonus racial trait for whenever a Gnoll`s mount is a hyaendon. (There is a major plot-line planned for the gnoll/hyena/ nature relationship in my upcoming world). If any of you have seen any of the above, Alternates/ Domains laying around anywhere please direct me to them. If not I will probably post what I come up with here, and invite comments. Thanks in advance!
I think those that believe "appraise" is a "worthless skill", have failed their checks. |
