    Friends only test. If you can see this thread, tell me.

    Well, let's test this stuff. Cats > dogs. Discuss - or not, whatever. Either way, posts without funny pictures may - or may not - be made fun of. Hm. Curiously, the Friends Only checkbox doesn't seem to survive a click on the Preview Post button.

    Good recent nWoD / Exalted books?

    I'm looking to buy some books, but am a little out of the loop. So please recommend some good books that were released within the last year or so, for any of the following games: :) World of Darkness (Inferno and Slashers sound interesting.) Vampire: The Requiem (I suspect there won't be much...

    D&D 4E Possible 4e forum issues (tiny ones)

    I've noticed two differences the 4e forum has compared to General Discussion and other forums: 1) It allows people to rate threads. Since we've disabled that (almost?) everywhere else, I thought I'd mention it. 2) Apparently people can vote in polls in the 4e forum without being logged in.

    Planar HB errata? (RE: Vicacious creature)

    This doesn't seem to be in the Planar HB errata yet... A vicacious creature takes 1 point of Strength damage per minute it suppresses its positive energy aura. Except that it's incorporeal and has no Strength score. :p I wonder what should be done instead...?

    Awaken and animals with HD: 1/2d8

    Among other effects, awaken adds 2 HD to a target animal. What happens if the animal in question normally has only 1/2 HD? A cat, for example. I think it wouldn't end up with 2 1/2 HD - that'd be weird (but not impossible, I suppose). Would it have just 2 HD, or...?

    My cat has died and it hurts very much

    :( He was a beautiful gray Persian. The most gentle cat I've ever met. So peaceful and loving. He brought joy to my life for the 9 short years of his in a way not even the cats I grew up with could. He was so sweet. I can't begin to express how much losing him hurts me. My mother, too, is...

    Excel question

    Is the following possible in Excel and if so, how? Assume cell E5 contains the text: Piratecat Let's say I want Excel to count the number of 'a's in the text in the cell (or several cells, e.g., E5:E12 or whatever, though that's secondary) and tell me this number (i.e., 2 in this case). Bonus...

    CL for paladin's detect evil?

    I assume the caster level for a paladin's detect evil is equal to her paladin class level, right? (It doesn't say in the PHB but I think it's very, very likely.) The reason I'm wondering is that one of my players has a paladin whose detect evil might have to beat a nondetection spell soon. :]...

    Online sources for character names?

    I'm looking for fantasy names, so even the excellent Onomastikon is only of limited help. So... Do you know any good sites about this? :)

    PC 4 or more levels below the highest-level PC in the same party?

    Do you have one? What are the respective levels? Does he fill a niche nobody else in the party does? How does he do? (Since 3.0/3.5/d20 only - things worked differently in earlier editions.)

    Turning some Frenzied Berserker abilities into feats

    Right, in search for more feats for high-level fighters, I'm stripping the Frenzied Berserker for parts. :) That is: Supreme Cleave, Improved Power Attack, Supreme Power Attack. What I want to know is what prerequisites are appropriate. Basic assumptions: I've given all of these feats a BAB...

    What can gray slaads do with their item creation feat?

    Gray slaads typically take "any one item creation feat." However, they can't cast spells (they only have spell-like abilities) so what can they do with it? They can't fulfill item creation prereqs with Sp abilities, can they?

    What do you think of my Duelist build?

    The PCs he fights will probably be a few levels below him. They will have action points and likely also higher stats than him, though. He's kinda optimized for single combat and, if he can, will likely only face one PC at a time while his guards deal with the rest. At least initially. human...

    Is there a rule...

    1) Is there a rule that says you have to use your full Strength (or StrMod) on an attack? 'cause I need a creature to deal minimal damage so one of its special attacks kicks in, but don't want it to cause much damage. And nonlethal damage might not do the trick (see next question). (Of course...

    I tried to search for something in the rules board but it immediately crashed and ended in a blank page. I tried again a few times, with the same result.

    Increasing the save DC of a death attack

    Things I can think of:More Int (via spell, item, etc.)Assassin's dagger (adds +1)Ability Focus feat (adds +2)There's also an epic feat, but that's out of reach for most assassins. :p So... How do I increase the save DC without taking more levels in assassin, similar classes or bloodlines (UA)...

    Magic weapon that pierces DR/cold iron AND DR/silver?

    Right, I'm working on a weapon that's effective against both tanar'ri (cold iron and good) and baatezu (silver and good). The more powerful ones, that is; the lesser ones only have DR/good, which blessed (BoED) takes care of. So... Are there any weapons in 3.5 that can count as either material...

    Are you still Piratecat?

    It's possible that EN World's mind control got damaged in the latest software upgrade. To be know sure either way, we'll have to find out what percentage of EN World users are still Piratecat. So... I know I am still Piratecat - but are you?
