Unearthed Arcana Variants

Racial Paragon Classes
Racial paragon classes are available as written.

Craft Points
Crafts Points have already been implemented. These may also be used towards "crafting" more unusual projects, such as conducting spell research, for the same cost.

Summon Monster
Variants
Variants on the
summon monster and summon nature's ally spells are availably with the approval of both DMs.

Metamagic Components
After the magnetized iron debacle, I feel the need to make a statement regarding my position on metamagic components.

First, metamagic components are supposed to be a way for spellcasters without the appropriate feat to pull a metamagicked spell out of his arse when he really needs it--a situation in which the extra cost is well worth it. It is not designed primarily as a method of supplementary income via monster hunting.

Now, harvesting monster parts is not something that I have an inherent problem with. But rather, it is the treasure value of those parts that would tend to get a little out of hand. If, say, you kill two trolls and get the appropriate amount of treasure from that encounter, then allowing you to get an extra 6,000 gp for troll blood is tantamount to giving you free money. In time, this will unbalance the game, which I would very much like to avoid.

Note that the components in
Unearthed Arcana are all specially-prepared in some way. This shall be something that I enforce. Troll's blood is great, but in order to be useful it needs to be stirred with rare incense and oils, boiled on a mithril forge, sprinled with the rare acanthus flower... you get the idea.

So if you'd like to try getting extra money from harvesting metamagic components, that's fine. My baseline price is going to be 10% of the listed price. Unless, of course, you have specially-prepared it yourself, which costs 50% of the total value and requires ranks in the appropriate skill (Craft, Profession, Knowledge, etc.).

Lastly, I want to remind everyone that what's good for the goose is good for the gander. Since metamagic components are available for use by the Hand of Valor, they are similarly available for use by any and all enemies.

Item Familiars
Elros has already chosen this feat, so clearly we are using this variant. It may be selected by another PC with the DMs' permissions.

Reputation
We are using the reputation rules, although I am implementing them in a manner different from that presented in
Unearthed Arcana. Rather than their system of making a Recognition check, the DM simply decides whether Reputation comes into play, and whether it plays in the PC's favor or to his detriment.
