Gingerbread people:
• Large size. -1 penalty to Armor Class, -1 penalty on attack rolls, -4 penalty on hide checks, +4 bonus on grapple, lifting and carrying limits double those of Medium characters.
• Speed- 25 ft: Gingerbread people are fast for there size
• Str+4, Con+2, Int-2, Dex-2
• Gingercunning: This ability grants a Gingerbread Person a +2 racial bonus on search checks to notice unusual gingerwork, such as sliding walls, gingerwork traps, new construction (even when built to match the old), unsafe ginger surfaces, shaky ginger ceilings, and the like. Something that isn’t ginger but that is disguised as ginger also counts as unusual gingerwork. A Gingerbread Person who merely comes within 10 feet of unusual gingerwork can make a search check as if he were actively searching, and a Gingerbread Person can use the search skill to find ginger work traps as a rogue can. A Gingerbread Person can also intuit depth, sensing his approximate depth underground as naturally as a normal candy can sense which way is up.
• +2 racial bonus on appraise checks that are related to ginger or hard candy items.
• +2 racial bonus on craft checks that are related to ginger or hard candy.
• Soggy: If a Gingerbread person comes in contact of water, they become soggy and enemies get a +4 bonus damage, goes double for milk.

Umpas can be summoned with a summon monster IV spell.
Umpas usually have at least 15 ranks in craft chocolate, and craft sugar.

These are just some of the things in candy land, and i need people to help make it a reality!
I am making the Gingerbread People as we speak, please help me make this

Gingerbread People-Carrrion Humanoid

Did you see the Giant's Gingerbread Golem (http://www.giantitp.com/Func0018.html)?

[Carrion_Humanoid]

Yes i did indeed see it, lo i do not understand the whole open game content deal, and i do not wishesth the get sued. On the upside, gingerbread people are done!

I think M&Ms should be the equivilent of humans, anyone else think so? So m&m minis will be halflings?

[Jothki]

I'd dump all the brand names. Best to stick with generics, I would think.

[ReluctantDragon]

I'm sorry, I felt the need to respond. When I saw the title of this thread, I thought suddenly, gingerbread men, running around a specific area, all trying to get that huge lollipop artifact. Then it mixed in with Chutes and Ladders and they all had a tumbling skill and climb skill. Wow.

[Altair_the_Vexed]

An excelently disturbing melieu!!!

You won't get sued for Open Game stuff, that's the point. Use it!!!

BTW, for a tired old brit, what are "s'mores"?

[Carrion_Humanoid]

you take a marshmellow, roast it, when its golden shelled, shmoosh it between two gram crakers, and add chocolete. Viola! you made you'r first s'more!

[Seffbasilisk]

Add chocolate before squishin' 'tween 2 grahm crackers. The hot marshmallow melts it a little.

and when I read the title, I thought it said 'Candy Land D20, mines needed!' and I was thinking 'we're putting explosives in the peppermint forest?'

[Edmund]

Just a quick thing: Candy canes might be better off as swords, and lollipops should be axes. Oh! And maces should be that rock candy on a stick garbage. Blech.

Ah! A thought. There should be taffy bows. with candy-corn arrows.

[SpiderBrigade]

Seff, that's the Candyland D20 grim'n'gritty variant you're thinking of, with the mines. Which would admittedly be a lot of fun, too. Lots of deadly-serious gingerbread men fighting to the death over politics, or something.

Also, Altair: I think he means getting sued for using trademarks like M&Ms, etc. I'll have to check their labelling but I'm pretty sure they're not OGL compliant ;-)

[Seffbasilisk]

That would be so awesome. ;D

'One draws a peppermint rapier, one draws a lolly-pop axe. Squaring off they charge at each other screaming 'to the Death!''

[Carrion_Humanoid]

Yeah, true. Blunt axes!

[MrNexx]

Yeah, true. Blunt axes!

Dude, you ever just sucked on one for a while? They can get a bit of an edge on them...

[pincushionman]

M&M's and Nerds aren't exactly antrhopomorphic...But I can see Nerds as familiars (for some odd reason...).

Other candy ideas:

"Turtles" (carmel blob covered in chocolate, with pecans sticking out to mimic legs and a head)
Gum drops and spice drops
Fireballs (and Atomic Fireballs - C'Mon, it's just asking to be used!)
Pixie Stix
Good N' Plenty (sounds like high-quality rations to me!)
Wax Lips (...da** I hate wax...I must insist that these be monsters of some kind)

And I'll seccond the "licorice whips" idea...in fact, sometimes they are labeled as such.

I'll think more later.

[Carrion_Humanoid]

Pixie sticks and Candy canes= Trees

[Leperflesh]

Brittish people don't know what 'graham crackers' are.

Stand clear, everyone: I'm fluent in The Queen's English!

A 'graham cracker' is a square, brown sweet biscuit. It has a fine texture, and tastes a bit of honey. They're more crumbly than a digestive biscuit, but not as crumbly as hobnob.

-Lep

[Yuki Akuma]

I knew what graham crackers were...

Although I'll admit I didn't know they tasted like honey.

[Carrion_Humanoid]

Poisenious vegitables/fruits! other than that i'm thinking one thing, spells. Purify Food and drink will heal you, so a clerics called a. . . baker? i dont know. . .

[Guancyto]

Hmm.

I see Baker as being more an Artificer or Effigy Master. I could also see a lot of PrCs like Master of Canes (Master of Chains), Glucomancer (Geomancer), Acolyte of the Skein (For all the weavers in the setting), etc.

You might be able to have all Rouges in the setting be outsiders from the Plane of Makeup, and then have the Paraelemental Plane of Paper and Pencil be feared for its Dual Lists, and the Black Guards protect the palace of licorice or something.

[pincushionman]

I knew what graham crackers were...

Although I'll admit I didn't know they tasted like honey.
Honey grahams do. Other varieties might be flavored with, say, cinnamon.

They also taste very good with homemade frosting. Mmmm...

[fireinthedust]

Ah good, no one posted this before me!

Willy Wonka: Greater Power

Domains: Candy, Magic, trickery,
Favoured Weapon: ?
Location: Willy Wonka's Chocolate factory.


Spells: don't forget prismatic spray, and all the prismatic/rainbow colours! you draw a card and travel to that square on the board.

Gingerbread t Flesh, Flesh to Gingerbread: used most often by witches on little children, this spell turns fleh and blood creatures into non-animate gingerbread people.


Artifact: Deck of many colours: a powerful artifact of transportation used in the ancient days of Candyland, the deck of many colours allows the user to draw it and be ransported to the next nearest tile of the appropriate colour. The cards disapear after each use and reappear at the bottom of the deck.

Major NPCs: the witch with the gingerbread house is a must. And the various candyland npcs.

As a Canadian, could we have the gingerbread men be termed gingerbread people, or persons of Gingerbreadness? I think we should recognize te distinctive character of each and every candy, and not discriminate based on gender/ingredients.

Also: at te local bakery we have the regular faces, but they also put faces in sugar: big bird, ernie and burt, barney, that sort fo thing. Should we have subraces, or should the extra sugar be magic items that grant powers of some sort (like magic masks)?

[Carrion_Humanoid]

As for the tile part, this is going to be a d20 game, much like D&D, exept well. . . candy. yes i do agree that The witch is a "good" npc, who turns candies into people and then cooks them.

As for gingerbread men and gingerbread people? I dont get it, are you saying gingerbread men should be inanimate?

Suger, just pure suger is there food, so glucomancer could, in fact, be a healer.

[fireinthedust]

nonono, but that the gingerization of the individual should not assume gender in language.

Gingerbread in this context is either animate (for people) or inanimate (for Gingercunning... which is easily the coolest ability ever to have; bless you, sir, bless you!). So Gingerbread-to-Flesh deals with the inanimate gingerwork kind.

In fact: would GingerCunning grant a gingerbread person the Heal Injury skill to determine the remaining hit points and health condition of the gingerperson/person of gingerliness they're looking at?

Maybe instead of Goblins and Orcs we could have characters made of teeth and enamil: they come out of the hills to crush and destroy houses, people, whatever, driven by their hunger to consume the people of the lands below?

Psi-Crystals should be made of Rock Candy sugar; maybe different colours grant different item creation powers, like the shards of Eberron setting.

Illithids could be exactly the same, but their de-braining should take a really-really-really long time (sucking on the head)

[Carrion_Humanoid]

Ah, i get it now! Ginger,the stone and the people people of this game(thankith for thy blessings). So yes, they would be able to get a +2 on healing and seeing health.

Yes yes, teeth monsters, along with candy monsters, can probily be a hard nemisis.

Sci-Candy idea, great! So about this ebberon special crystal thing?

Illithids? Yeah, well i dont realy thing candy HAVE brains. . . I mean, when was the last time you had a brain in candy? Well. . . mabye Crillithids(suck carmel out of you) So then blood is carmel, BRILLIANT!

As for races and monsters, we need people to do so! C'mon!

[Nero24200]

One of the evil-alinged gods
The DENTIST

[Carrion_Humanoid]

Dude, yeah and Suger-free god! and the national board of health!

[Carrion_Humanoid]

Wait, shouldent this be in the community world-building forum?(or whatever its called)

[MrSeth]

*headslam*


This topic... is undeniable proof that the spirit of Bob Herzog is alive, well, and possessing gamers the world over.

[Tilian]

Seff, that's the Candyland D20 grim'n'gritty variant you're thinking of, with the mines. Which would admittedly be a lot of fun, too. Lots of deadly-serious gingerbread men fighting to the death over politics, or something.

[Freeman333]

Possibly the most delicious D20 mod ever. Anyone familiar with Kinder Surprise? A German-made treat, vaguely represented by WonderBalls here in the 'States. A chocolate shell with a toy inside--tasty and entertaining, perhaps the perfect food.

For our purposes here, this could be the equivalent of a bag of tricks or other randomly-determined magic item; a character cracks open (or eats, though that may be considered cannabilism in this world) the shell and rolls d% to determine what useful item is found inside.

[Renloth]

Kinder is making its way into stores in the US.

I know what you mean though, absolutely wonderful stuff. My extended family in Germany always sends us tons of Kinder chocolate around Christmas time.

[Ing]

flesh to stone= chocolate to hard candy. heheh

instead of poison pellets to make water toxic, pop rocks and soda.

OH OH OH I GOT IT, instead of regular elves have Kebler Elves. like the guys who live in the trees and make snacks.

[Carrion_Humanoid]

The guys who make the cookies?

[Murky_Pool]

Anyone ever play Transport Tycoon on the PC

That had Candy Land settings with things like cola mines (oil wells), candy stick forests (I think) and other silly things.

If you can hadle the occasional detour from sweets you could use the Clangers soup mines, just watch out for the Soup Dragon (no, not the band)

[Ing]

think of the elemental planes.
Elemental Plane of FRYER: inhabited by such things as Leftover Chicken Golems, Pultrygysts, ExtraCrispsy beasts, Mcnugget hordlings. and ruled by Colonol Sanders god of FRY

[Carrion_Humanoid]

Yeah and umm. . . Plane of flesh(Hell for the Players)

[lost_my_NHL]

Alignments: Sweet v Bitter, Sour v Salty

Sour Sweet: like sour patch kids

Sour Bitter: something tart, like unsweetened superconcentrated cranberry juice

Salty Sweet: lots of foreign candies are salty and sweet. so is licorice

Salty Bitter: Something purely dislikeable. I shudder to venture into this realm. Just thinking of the combinations of those two tastes... (shudder)

Sizes-------

medium would be like a small gingerbread character, 2-2.5 inches high. This would mean that a mini candycane would be like a greatsword or a quarterstaff, or a toothpick would be like a spear. a toothpick with a gumdrop would be a waraxe. A single strand of a twizzler twists would be a whip/ spiked chain.
Turtles would be medium [long] creatures.
Peeps woudl be medium creatures
Wax lips would be medium [long] creatures


Then small would be 1.25 inches high, like a sour patch kid, a hershey's kiss, or a swedish fish, and if it held a toothpick, it would be a longspear.
Animal Crackers would be small [long or tall] creatures

tiny would be about half-an-inch, like an M&M or a gummy bear.

diminutive would be the size of a nerd (maybe caltrops or sling bullet?)

fine would be an individual grain of salt or smaller

this would mean Large would be about 4 inches high, so a full-size gingerbread man could use a toothpick as a rapier, or a toothpick with a gumdrop on the end as a mace.

Huge would be about 8 inches high, e.g. some chocolate santas and bunnies, so a full size candy cane would be a greatsword for them, or a spherical lollipop would be a mace

Gargantuan would be about 16 inches tall, like those giant chocolate bunnies. They might even weild rolling pins like a greatclub.

And Collasal would then be about a yard tall. Those giant translucent tubes of candy you see in stores, filled with hershey kisses? They come in gargantuan and colossol sizes. I'm thinking either a quarterstaff or a greatclub. Also, giant pixie sticks are like a... whip/ spiked chain?


These figures are for a bipedal creature.

I would suggest having chocolate Santas and Bunnies be like monstrous spiders or tojandas: have a stat block for sizes tiny to Collossol.

[Carrion_Humanoid]

Awsome, were keeping that!

[Carrion_Humanoid]

Oh we still need people to make the races!

[Phasm]

You need Peeps! As an animal/monster, methinks, not as a PC race. They're too squishy for much combat ;D Maybe as wild game, or a replacement for domestic animals?

"Tonight, we feast on roast Peep!"
"YAAAAAY!"
"My favorite!"
"Can I have the head, Daddy? Can I? Pleasepleaseplease?"

[Carrion_Humanoid]

K i added it to the list

[Furanku_S]

Peeps should be mounts! Everyone who's ever Peep jousted can attest to this ;D

[Carrion_Humanoid]

Peep jousted?? what did you take prezles and stick them in each other and then ram them into each other so they die??
