comment Is it common to wear costumes when (tabletop) roleplaying?
@JonathanHobbs I've condensed the answer & made it less "chatty." Still included to allow OP to see alternatives to his costume. (As opening line said, the main answer of "NO" has already been well sent, so this is a related answer)

comment How To Divide Up Loot?
+1 for letting the last paragraph about getting the players to address the encounter disparity instead of the GM.

comment How can I mechanistically empower a prophecy or fortune without railroading the plot?
It can be argued that Oedipus could have avoided his fate. He slept with his mom right after meeting her if I remember correctly. But even that aside, had he or his father turned him into a eunuch the prophecy would have been defeated. So it IS possible, it just might require a greater sacrifice

comment What CR adjustment should I make for Divine Rank 0
It seems 20HD + divine rank 0 equaling Challenge Rating 0 would be woefully inadequate. I was hoping someone would be able to find something that was more helpful, but sadly that may not exist

comment What CR adjustment should I make for Divine Rank 0
+1 & Thanks for the correction. "Most deities" have 20 outsider HD, but for an ascended deity (hero-deity was another name for quasi) they may not have that many..so I'm having a regular 20HD (non-outsider) based on class levels achieve this status

Yes I am using that book & have found nothing of assigning CRs in this manner..though other "encounter" suggestions are mentioned.

comment Why do D&D Paladins Have to Be Lawful Good?
+1, this is especially befuddling when we are talking about a CG deity like Kord. This means a Paladin of Kord cant also be his Cleric..although not sure y he would want a LG Paladin serving him anyway

comment How can I add spellcasting ability to a preexisting Fighter class character?
Cross-classing into an arcane caster would severely limit her class abilities (armor) But a cleric would be a great way to get spells and keep her abilities...since most people agree going passed Fighter 2 is a waste it would be nice if the DM would let her retrain those two lvls as cleric & she can continue cleric progression from there

comment How does resurrecting destroyed undead affect their level progression?
I'm inclined to agree for the exact same reason. (going from lvl 10 to 4 would just plain suck!) I was just curious if there was anything written that answers it definitively.

comment What are the key considerations to creating compelling environments?
+1 but I would mention to add some lore/legends/rumors etc. These can add so much more especially to a non-standard/unique environment

comment Traps specifically for Smart characters
I love the chess option! If you want the trap to not be so easily circumvented make the door harder both to pick & break. Oh, and the moment one of the characters attempt to break a chess piece (not the monster) they will have a board full of monsters to deal with!..there'd have to be a warning or it would basically be a tpk.

comment Is there a working adaptation of Skyrim's Dragon Shouts to DnD3.x?
Also, what do you think of having the wall a one-time use (sort of like a scroll) so that once one person reads it, the wall becomes blank...6 months after their death (if they stay dead) the text on the wall will reappear. This will prevent the entire party from having this ability (and whoever else finds them) keeping their uniqueness. Of course the lore or some other "directions" nearby would need to indicate this.

Just curious what level do you think this is appropriate for? I like your ideas on how to gather and..well everything. Just wondering when would be appropriate to award.
