Any uses?

[doliest]

Ok, really, I have a question for people out there, have you ever designed things like settings & Campaigns for no real reason? I mean, Ill design sci-fi settings using Star trek planet rules for no reason other than I'm bored, some times filled them with species and designs, knowing I'd never use them. Just wondering does anyone else do this kind of thing?

[Lord_Gareth]

Yes, yes I do. Most of the stuff in my sig? Made from boredom. Some of it has become serious projects, but all started as the product of my possession of Far Too Much Free Time.

[Machete]

Doing so right now.

Name and aestetical changes as well as some tweaks will be put in place before the final edit as well as extensive fluff.

[Magnor Criol]

For just about every game that has one, I'll spend more time in the map / scenario / etc. editor than I will in the game itself.

For example, Neverwinter Nights - even right now I'm tinkering around with a module, and going to great time-consuming lengths to be thorough about simple things. Even though no one but myself will ever play this module - assuming even I play it, which assumes I finish it, which isn't guaranteed - because NWN is now outdated by NWN2.

So, yes. I create things for the sake of creating and no other reason all the time...it's probably my #1 time sinkhole.

[The Neoclassic]

People make settings for a reason?!? Well, some of my stuff I hope to eventually use (maybe even publish, as if thousands of other people don't have the same goal...), but really, it's for fun.

[JackMage666]

Y'know, Machete, all but the first one were +1 LA, right?

Also, the greatest example of this is - the d30.

Eh, the Rabbit Folk are fine for LA 0, but the rest should be +1. Maybe even Silicon, because of the 10ft reach.

Rabbitfolk are too perfect as Rogue's, Scouts, and other Stealth/Quick base races and such. They're really good as Sorcerersand Wizards as well. They're not so good with Divine, but that's the only place they faulter.

I didn't even notive to 10 ft reach - They're all +1 LA.

[Machete]

Nope, they are all supposed to be LA 0. I like to compare them to the Dwarf, Human, and Gnome to see if they are overpowered.

Like I said, works in progress.

[JackMage666]

Rock Folk

20 ft. speed

Stonecling 10 ft. Speed as per Spiderclimb on dry, clean stone surfaces but not gem, metal, crystal, dirt, mud, ore, sand, earth, or lava.

Natural Armor +3

Hide in Plain Sight- Only functions in an area (all of their occupied square(s) and all bordering squares) completely made of stone, crystal, dirt, mud, ore, sand, and earth.

Darkvision 40 ft.

Stone Heritage: Affected by spells and items that do damage to Earth Elementals as if they were Earth Elementals.

eat wood and coal and combustibles

Natural Armor, Damage Reduction (though weak), and most importantly Hide in Plane Sight, warrants at least +1 LA. The overal -2 ability score doesn't displace it enough.

I could do the others and send them to you in a PM, if you'd like, but they are all overpowered compared to base races.

[Machete]

Please see edits, still works in progress.

Fluff has to be written up, and then the crunch rewrote to meet the fluff.
