That is true! A creator-friendly world-hack in that sense. :)

Re: Art Requests
 

I was doing some reading yesterday and think that adding the Half-Orc might be doable, as in adding it to the editor even. :) The classes and other rules will be a pain in the butt, though I am not afraid to wade into the code.
I have a relatively light class load this upcoming quarter and plan on working on programming outside of the classroom. I'm just going to work on C++ instead of VB. :D

Re: Art Requests
 

Too bad we can't do my idea (from forever ago) about rulesets, where you can select the rules to use and then make the mod :D

ST
ps, I'll prolly have to make my own "worldhack" if I want it, due to what exactly I want....

Re: Art Requests
 

Rulesets for 1e through3.5e I can understand how they could work (if only I had the programming skills...), but 4e, while I'm sure would be possible, I can't even imagine how. It's pretty different from the other editions. With all kinds of powers and "paragon paths" and such. Not to mention that gnomes are no longer a player character race...

Re: Art Requests
 

What?! They killed the gnomes?! Geez...

Re: Art Requests
 

Gnomes are in the Monster Manual...what a demotion. :(

So, the classes have "Paragon Paths" which are essentially kits for each of the classes, and they do the same thing with a lot of monsters - there are now several types of griffons for example. Oh, and hobgoblins are now just a type of goblin and titans are just a "class" of giants, e.g. you can have a titan fire giant who is bigger and stronger than regular fire giants...
Plus, they made dryads into bad-ass looking monster things - humanoid might not even fit.

Re: Art Requests
 

Er... dryads are supposed to be, you know, hot (and mostly unclothed). :D

I think that "Paragon Path" just sounds stupid and corny. Sigh... WHAT are they THINKING?!

So, I guess that so-called "D&D" has gone even further from its roots...

New does not necessarily mean better...

Re: Art Requests
 

The art is more of the 3.5 stuff. it's cool in a fantasy kind of way, but doesn't fit with what I think of as AD&D.

Another change are that there are several dinosaurs (this will make Dinonykos happy), a stegosaurus and ankylosaurus that are now some type of beast whose name I can not remember.

Re: Art Requests
 

AD&D always had lots of dinosaurs! :D I hope they did not make a progression so that a stegosaurus can level up into a ankylosaurus or something like that, though...

Re: Art Requests
 

No, it's not like that, or like that for the other monsters, which I may have given the impression it could be.

It's more like a 6 hit die beast is this kind of dinosaur and a 9 hit die beast is this different kind of dinosaur. Same thing for the giants. Though, I suppose a titan fire giant isn't so when it's a baby....:D Now I'm starting to confuse myself. ;)
