You might want to check out pages 171-189 of Chapter 10, "The DM's Toolbox," in the Dungeon Master's Guide. The topics covered in those pages are: Customizing Monsters, Creating Monsters, Creating NPCs, Creating House Rules.
Cheers,

Thanks Chistopher! I completely missed pages 184-185! For the monsters part I'm safe!
Aside from my mistake I still think the 4ed a "Demo version"... |

| The consensus from the WotC board is that creating items will be under the Adventurer's Vault sourcebook coming out. |
I actually DO know everything. I just have a very poor index of my knowledge.

It looks like I'm in agreement here... and I think Markustay said it best. It's a lot easier to reverse-engineer the few new things worth keeping than to try to undo the Spellplague and keep $E, largely because $E *is* the Spellplague... Wizards in $E are shackled and straitjacketed, because to do otherwise would make the game computer-unfriendly. I like a lot of the non-Spellplague story elements in 4E, particularly the crushing of the Zhentarim citadels by Netheril, but it makes no sense that the Harpers would just disband; yes, it creates a void for new adventurers to fill, but that's not a reason that's justified from the Harpers' point of view. "Hrm, all of these new adventurers need something to do; let's pack it in." That's like... well, I can't think of a real-world example that isn't mind-blowingly ludicrous.
Any other thoughts? |
Playing in the Realms since the Old Grey Box (1987)... and *still* having fun with material published before 2008, despite the NDA'd lore.
If it's comparable in power with non-magical abilities, it's not magic. |

Like cops saying, 'Hey, there's all these kids with guns! Let's let them patrol.'? |

A proposal... about the new realms and the 3.5ed
