@Zadmar Thank you for clearing that up. The dice rules make a lot more sense now.

Hi all! I'm old-new here (been a member for a long time, but only posted a couple of times about unrelated games). I regularly play Pathfinder with my group for 5 years, as a player, not a DM. With my kids, I've tried to play Pathfinder, and previously DnD 3.5, that all ended in them being...

I am a ranger with a dire boar animal companion. She comes complete with 3 piglets. I gave one of the piglets to a new halfling in the group, and he made it his companion. I still have 2 piglets that I would like to grow to adulthood and make companions to enhance our group's strength. I saw...

I'm sure they're out there.Rather than playing the normal D&D medieval game characters and adventures, what are my options for playing in futuristic settings? I'm talking about adventures, races, classes, gear, etc. set in the future. Could be technological, nuclear wasteland, etc.Are there...

I guess I should clarify ... The Rug was just an example. Say I found a creature that exists in 1e, 2e, or 5e that doesn't exist in 3.5e. If I wanted to convert that creature to 3.5, how might I go about it? I suppose I could like for stats on a similar 3.5 creature. But is there any...

Ah. Reading back to my original question, I see it was vague. What I was really asking was how would I go about converting a monster from one edition to another, keeping it from being too strong or weak?

I played with a group on 5e a few months back. They had a monster called the Rug of Smothering. Now, I'm DMing a 3.5 game. I know balance can be an issue between editions, so how would I go about adding that monster to my game, fairly?

Wow! I appreciate the input, and it appears the major consensus is to leave them on the shelf!

I have the opportunity to pick up good copies of both Book of Vile Darkness and Exalted Deeds. One of the people I play with has a lot of experience playing, and says both of these books are broken. I'd like verification that this is the case? Is it worth it to pick the books up?

Point made, amusingly. :) Cool how people can just pull spells from their head so easily. I have a lot to learn. Status looks like a good one, especially if you find a character that has a tendency to run off.

I saw a variant of critical misses, where the confirmation had to be >= character's AC. I think that would increase the likelihood of confirmation for lower level characters, while decreasing for higher level characters. I also saw where someone thought that a high level character who could...

I've been playing as a PC with some friends for about 3 months now, and it's been great fun! I'm now working on DMing some games with my family, all of which are new. 1. With my family, books are open all the time, searching for the "what to do's" for different situations (them, and myself)...

Yeah, that's what I'd heard, and was planning. But I was really asking if there was a newer version than 2.2 on the horizon. It would be my luck that I'd buy a book, only to find 2.3 released within a month.

I do indeed own all 3 books, else this thread would not even exist. ------ This is good information to know. As it is, I'm able to enjoy reading the OSRIC at work (freely downloadable), whereas it's a bit less efficient to drag my core books to work, and have them open on my desk. I think...

I'm considering purchasing the OSRIC and MoM manuals. Based on the copyright dates on the 2.2 manual (2008), and MoM (2006) I downloaded from Lulu, the current versions are a few years old. Before I go purchasing the books, I'd like to know if there are any newer versions due to be released...
