I was trying out the demo of Hero Labs with the 5e rules. I tried making a Human Variant. It lets me select attributes to add +1 to and a skill proficiency. But when I try to select feats, the only option is Grappler. It's not an issue of pre-requisites, since under that system I don't have any...

Just to be clear... it appears that your ability score increases are tied to your class levels, not your character level. "At certain levels, your class gives you the Ability Score Improvement feature." So, if you're a Barbarian 3, and you choose to switch to Cleric at 4th level, you don't get...

I've been working on a new d20 chargen, and using Pathfinder Alpha as my first specific ruleset. Note that this spreadsheet does not include a spell list manager or an animal companion assistant. Those I feel are better handled as separate sheets, and they are projects that I'm interested in...

I just picked up the Grim Tales Game Mastering .pdf, which details a method for judging encounter difficulty that appears to reverse-engineer the EL system. The idea is that the power of a creature is not its CR, but actually the square of that. Then the EL of an encounter is one plus twice...

I'm putting together a spreadsheet to help facilitate using the Creature Factory rules from d20 Modern (216-231) to stat out creatures. My own goal is to stat out d20 equivalents to the Star*Drive Alien Compendia, but hopefully others will find their own uses. I'd like the spreadsheet to be...

I have added a new spreadsheet designed to facilitate working with the d20 wealth system. It has my gearlists from my d20 Star*Drive game built in, but it also has a generic worksheet for anything you care to enter. Check it out at the link in my .sig, and as always free free to let me know...

I have cleaned up my conversion notes for the Star*Drive module Black Starfall, and I'd like to make them available, especially since there's such a dearth of prepared modules these days. I was curious as to what the requirements were to distribute the same in a kosher manner. I seem to...

Recently, a player was trying to generate a Dreadnought character, and I found half a dozen things my spreadsheet was doing incorrectly. Well, it was pretty robust for the characters I generally tried to create, but I seem to try different things than other people. I would appreciate it if...

In their Starship Construction Manual, RPG Objects sort of gives the raspberry to the idea that you might need a spreadsheet to design a starship, but even with their straightforward and robust system, there is still a fair bit of calculation and record keeping, not to mention numerous easily...

I put together this Excel sheet for my d20 Star*Drive game, taking bits from HeroForge and from John Owens' d20 Alternity conversion. It's all d20 Modern, d20 Future and Blood & Space 2, except for Owens' equipment conversion. It could use some more polish, but I'm not ashamed to present it to...

As I understand it: 1) An artificer can create magic items for which he has the prerequisite creation feat and the caster level is no greater than his level + 2. 2) For each spell required to create that item, the artificer must make a Use Magic Device check of 20 + caster level. He can...

I bought this module from RPGNow.com, and it's missing map number nine, which encompasses thirty rooms, and the endgame of the module. I sent an e-mail to RPGNow, and they said that they got it from Wizards and it's possible that even Wizards does not have a complete copy. Map #8 was clearly...

I discovered Peter Fuesz' Warships Excel Sheet at Tequila Starrise, which allows easy creation of starships using the Alternity Warships rules. I've added a sheet that basically converts the results of the ship generation into something usable by modified d20 Future rules, with something of the...

I've only gotten to skim this in the store, and one thing that I couldn't find any account of what I consider the most important thing they should have included. I never hear of dwarves eating fungus, which is the closest thing to vegetation you can grow underground. They are depicted on one...

Pardon if I must plea poverty of imagination, but I'm puzzled that in the upgrade from 3 to 3.5, magic that improves jumping has been severly nerfed: i.e., the spell Jump, the Ring of Jumping and the Boots of Striding and Leaping. Plus, they made the jump ring and the boots both competence...
