Factotum Class
FACTOTUM CLASS DUNGEONS & DRAGONS, D&D, Wizards of the Coast, Forgotten Realms, the dragon ampersand, and all other Wizards of the Coast product names, and their respective logos are trademarks of Wizards of the Coast in the USA and other countries. This work contains material that is copyright Wizards of the Coast and/or other authors. Such material is used with permission under the Community Content Agreement for Dungeon Masters Guild. All other original material in this work is copyright 2016 by Jeremy Wadsworth of Bear Incorporated Sample file and published under the Community Content Agreement for Dungeon Masters Guild. Forward This is my Homebrewed conversion of the Factotum class from the D&D 3.5 Book Dungeonscape: An Essential Guide to Dungeon Adventuring (2007) by Jason Bulmahn and Rich Burlew. In the spirit of this wonderful class and D&D 5e, I have also combined it with two Prestige classes that go with this class very well as Archetypes. These “Archetypes” are the Chameleon and Master of Masks Prestige Classes. The Chameleon Prestige Class is from the D&D 3.5 Book Races of Destiny (2004) by David Noonan, Eric Cagle, and Aaron Rosenberg. The Master of Masks Prestige Class is from the D&D 3.5 Book Complete Scoundrel: A Player’s Guide to Trickery and Ingenuity (2007) by Mike McArtor and F. Wesley Schneider. I would recommend these books to anybody, and hope that every D&D Player has the privilege of reading these fine books. I am sorry if anything I do is in anyway problematic with Copyright issues, but it seems fine according to what the DM Guild information page at www.dmsguild.com/whatisdmsguild.php says under the section “What Can I Publish?”, which says “you can convert magic items, monsters, character classes, spells, etc. -

Date: 8/25/95 4:14:00 PM From: Anodaewyn1 Posted on: America Online Now, maybe I'm missing something... but, the only book that I have for the Mystara setting is the Dragonlord series. Just the two. Are there others? ~~J Subj: Re:Mystara books? Date: 8/25/95 4:40:24 PM From: TSR Bruce Posted on: America Online There should only be three (Dragonlords, Dragonkings, and Knights of Mystara coming out in November).

This has to do with adapting a campaign setting to firearms and swashbucklers. In general this Page 1 of 170 MYSTARA MESSAGE BOARD (AOL) Folder 2 - 25th Aug 1995 to 12th March 1996 affects the use of firearms vs. armor, and secret fencing passes favoring skilled swordsmen with rapiers and main gauche.

TO START, CONTINUE, AND CONCLUDE: FOREGROUNDING NARRATIVE PRODUCTION IN SERIAL FICTION PUBLISHING BY GABRIEL E. ROMAGUERA A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULLFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN ENGLISH UNIVERSITY OF RHODE ISLAND 2017 DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY DISSERTATION OF Gabriel E. Romaguera APPROVED: Dissertation Committee: Major Professor Valerie Karno Carolyn Betensky Ian Reyes Nasser H. Zawia DEAN OF THE GRADUATE SCHOOL UNIVERSITY OF RHODE ISLAND 2017 Abstract This dissertation explores the author-text-reader relationship throughout the publication of works of serial fiction in different media. Following Pierre Bourdieu’s notion of authorial autonomy within the fields of cultural production, I trace the outside influence that nonauthorial agents infuse into the narrative production of the serialized. To further delve into the economic factors and media standards that encompass serial publishing, I incorporate David Hesmondhalgh’s study of market forces, originally used to supplement Bourdieu’s analysis of fields. -

Collectors Checklist by Richard © 2001, Version 2.7
Dungeons&Dragons Collectors Checklist by Richard © 2001, version 2.7 Well met and welcome to the Collectors Checklist! I made this checklist for myself to keep track of what TSR products I own. Many times was I in the position to photocopy (“Xerox”) a module or booklet that the owner didn’t wish to sell. So gradually my collection expanded with not only genuine products but also with photocopies. Since the coming of the officially digitized classic products (PDF) it is even harder to keep track of what product you own in what format. With the Collectors Checklist you will be able to sort your whole Dungeons&Dragons collection, no matter what the format is! For those out there who haven’t got a clue, here’s how to use the Collectors Checklist: TSR-Code : The product’s publishing code Sub-Code : When a product belongs to a specific group of products it carries this code Title : The product’s title (dah!) Hardcopy : Check this if you have the original item Copy : Check this if you have a copy (Xeroxcopy for instance) of the original product PDF : Check this if you have a digital copy(.pdf/.doc/etc.) of the original product HINT: you can even write down the number when you own more than one copy of a product ; ) If you think any items are missing, please mail me at [email protected] . Feel free to copy/share/print this list. Please visit these websites for the best Dungeons&Dragons archives on the Internet : http://www.acaeum.com http://home.flash.net/~brenfrow/index.htm . -
