Will's Roleplaying Game Stuff
Most of the material below is for 3rd Edition Dungeons & Dragons. I am also a big fan of Fading Suns.
D&D Classes Ascetic: A holy warrior who takes a vow of poverty. Artificer: A prestige class for spellcasters that revolves around magic-item creation. Boken Master: Warrior who focusses ki energy through a wooden training sword. Concealed Weapons Master: A prestige class for rogue-types specializing in, you guessed it, concealed weapons. Dragoon: Yes, a Final Fantasy rip-off. Elite: A light fighter (one who focusses on speed rather than brute strength). Ensorcelled Beast: An odd class for those who get polymorphed and like it. Guardian: A core class fighter/mage, like a paladin. Mage: A variant spellcaster with a broader spell list. Like a sorcerer. Mutant: A weird class created for my Three Worlds homebrew, the mutant gradually transforms into a monster. Noble: A combo fighter/wizard, akin to the paladin or ranger. Pikeman: A master of polearms. Shadow Ninja: Everybody needs a ninja prestige class. Siren: Not the lame class from Savage Species. Soulfist: A combo psychic warrior/monk. I think using the psi feats and powers to represent anime-style monk abilities works well. SpellSword: As my favorite published prestige class, I continually tweak the Spellsword. I think the version presented in Tome & Blood is rather weak. Superhero: Uses spell-like abilities to simulate powers. Survivor: Not the lame class from Savage Species. Wandslinger: Weilds a mean spell-stick. Weaponshifter: A weird prestige class inspired by someone on the WotC web boards and the Peri pride from Immortal, the Weaponshifter can turn into a weapon. Yeoman: A "non-adventuring" class designed to take the place of the commoner and expert, yet still be worth class levels for players who want to play a master blacksmith, for example. (I disagree with the notion that NPC Classes should be weaker than PC classes.) Zoner: Focus-based warrior.	Rules Variants Called Shots: Called shots are generally a bad idea in D&D; they throw combat balance all out of whack. This is my attempt to create called-shot rules that let the characters do what they want without really giving them much benefit. Craft: I've re-written the craft rules to make them more intersting and usable. Fudge: A set of meta-game rules for influencing die rolls. Jump: I've re-written the Jump rules in an attempt to simplify. Karma: A more complex version of the Fudge rules, above. Permanency: I revised the rules of the spell permanency to make it more useful and more generally applicable. Weight and Throwing: I'm not happy with the Sage's rules for throwing. I also created a quick-and-dirty method for estimating an object's weight. Setting Search Submissions The Three Worlds of Aarch: My most developed D&D homebrew, the Three Worlds is a bizarre, alien place in which humans are legend. The World of Genesis: A world which has just been created; the PCs take on the role of the very first people. The World Reborn: Takes place on Earth during the time of the Three Worlds. The Heartstone Renaissance: A strange Renaissance-style world where mythical beasts are harvested for magic.
