      I just realised I may not have been clear in my short reply. What I meant was that I understand D&D is not all simulation, and that it is a game, but it has always held a level of believability, regardless of whether the topic was magic or fantasy. The mechanics are all designed to in some way mimic or emulate life in some way (or a specific concept of life), but whenever abstraction is used, it is always done to turn something that is purely a game mechanic into something we should...

      I think each class having the maneuver mechanic should have a different die size equal to the size of his hit dice: example, the fighter should have 6 d10 expert dice at high levels, when the monk has 6 d8 and the rogue 6d6.
      Also, on the subject of weapon choices, every characters had time only to learn two (2) weapons in the list given to his class, except for the fighter, who his better trained with weapons, who learns how to use two groups of similar weapons. His damage with such a...

      To clarify, there is no difference between background and profession. More skills are needed, but profession is a category which helps define the character's skills. A woodcutter, for example, would be recommended to have the skills Climb, Drive, Gather Information, Plants Knowledge and Use Rope, while the ability of a woodcutter to fell trees would be described narratively, without specifying restrictive limits such as how long it takes or how much damage a falling tree would do. A character...

      Because the trope its generally trying to cater to is not a generic 'Protection' effect. Protection from Good/Evil/Neutrality was actually more of a Protection from the Supernatural effect. It generally didn't and never would affect non-magical beings, no matter what their alignment even in the 1e D&D game. Extraplanar creatures were effected, and they were classified by their alignments generally, because in 1e, among other things, there were distinct alignment planes of existence that...

      Okay, first of all, Adam never rode Cringer, so there's no reason to mention him on the list. Furthermore, it's rude and possibly a little sexist for you to mention Battle Cat and completely ignore She-Ra's Spirit/Swift Wind (and yes, Adora actually did ride Spirit, so it makes more sense to mention him than Cringer).
      Anyway, I vote for the Luggage from Discworld. Not the most reliable of mounts, but it did get its owner from place to place in a hurry every now and then.

      Personally, I think the fey eladrin should be renamed something like faeries or sidhe.

      Personally my biggest peeve with the treatment of faeries in 4e is the idea that faeries are necessarily wild. This is certainly true of some of them, but not all. Some faeries are rather civilized, albeit in a somewhat alien fashion.
      Personally I also think that trying to have each kind of fey be a specific category or kind is something of a mistake. Sure there are identifiable kinds of faerie, like satyrs or pixies or whatever. However, sometimes a faerie is just a faerie, with it's own...

      MORE FEYWILD!!!!
      i personally enjoy the Feywild as a "wild"plane. Although i think it needs more "wild". Tiny Fey are completely neccesary but not Wild enough.

      I am not sure I will go through with it; I was just brainstorming. I was going for a noirish type of set up.
      I like demons as primal spirits, because there is a surplus of bad guy elemental types (giants, efrets, archons), not enough primal spirit bad guys, and Balors aside, they don't look very elemental. Besides, the notion that nature is out of whack has some storytelling potential.

      I am Not a Fan of the Monk alignment requirement or alignment requirements for classes in general.
      Personally, I prefer giving players more options and do not like limiting an entire class to a specific alignment. I think alignment restrictions are fine for prestige classes which can be tied to a specific story or for classes in specific campaign settings where it is tied to story.
      Also just to be clear, I am not a rules purist and will have no problem allowing my players to play...
