Heroforge/Spellforge questions

NewJeffCT · 26th October 2009, 08:26 PM

I've found this to be an invaluable tool for my DMing, since many of my primary bad guys have been evil clerics, mages and warriors. However, I know it's not a complete list of 3.5 books, classes, templates and PrCs.

However, I have a few questions on them:
1) In Spellforge, is there a way I haven't figured out yet to put in metamagicked spells (i.e., a quickened Scorching Ray in a level 6 slot)?

2) In Heroforge, do they have the alternate paladins (Tyranny, Freedom, Slaughter)? If so, how do I access them?

3) In Monsterforge, do they have a way to list books outside the Monster Manual (i.e., the Complete Books?)

Thanks

I've never really messed with the other two, but I do know one answer for you ---

2) The main page in older versions used to spell out that all of the classes variants from Unearthed Arcana are not supported by the system. So no, the Paladin variants are not in there (which is annoying, since I like to build/play Cloistered Clerics, and have to make the modifications myself).

I have never tried those forge programs.

But regarding 3), once you found the name of a monster, you can go to the following page to find which WotC book has that monster.

Thanks - what I liked about monsterforge for the core books was that it allowed you to easily scale the monsters - so, if you wanted an 18 HD devil as a Greater Planar Ally, you can easily scale the horned devil from its standard HD of 15 up to 18, and change hit points per hit die from the standard 4.5 you get in the monster manual to anywhere from 1-8 per die. (you can also add in the extra skill points, feats, etc)

Unfortunately, a few interesting monster ideas I've gotten in recent weeks have been from outside the various Monster Manuals, Fiend Folio or Savage Species, so I'd have to do the work manually.
