Hi all. With OpenRPG no longer supported, I am looking around for a good program to use for online roleplaying. I am hoping someone here can steer me towards something useful. Maptool would potentially be perfect, but for some reason I have been unable to determine, it lags severely on my...

This is a bit of a long read, but it is a rather amusing story for the most part. Feel free to ignore it if you'd like. I typed this up originally for my players in my campaigns, so I thought I would refine it and share it here on the forums as well. Last Wed evening, my company had a Team...

Hi all. I have three solid, great players for my Ptolus campaign...and I need one more. It plays every Saturday from 5am PST to around 10am PST online in OpenRPG, with the new player starting April 7th. Unlike what the thread linked below states, you *can* have knowledge of Ptolus and still...

I am taking over a PC for a player that can no longer play in my campaign, since I like the flavour she created for her character, and also since the character is the party's healer. However, while keeping the flavour, I have decided to change the mechanics of the character a bit. Since this...

(Herein records the adventures of the Night Watchers of Ptolus, provided for your entertainment! The campaign starts at 1st level, with five players and an NPC. We play every Saturday morning from 5:00am PST to roughly 10:00am. Meet the characters!) The Night Watchers Nicholas Klein Male...

Hi all. This post is predicated upon the belief (which I share) that the fighting styles are unbalanced. Specifically, that two-handed fighting is slightly overpowered when compared to sword and board (one-handed weapon and shield), and two-weapon fighting is severely underpowered when...

Hi all. I am currently recruiting for a Ptolus 3.5e campaign, playing on OpenRPG from 1:00pm GMT to 6:00pm GMT every Saturday starting Jan 6th. (That is 5:00am--yes, a.m.--to 10:00am PST, or 8:00am to 1:00pm EST, for those unfamiliar with GMT.) The details for the campaign are provided here...

Every once in a while, I like to display my ideas to the folks here at ENWorld and get some feedback to help me see if I'm on the right track. It's that time again. I'd like you to look over my changes to the core classes, and tell me what you think. (And if you like what you see strongly...

Hi all. Sorry if this has been asked before, and sorry if it's the wrong forum. I am curious: I went to www.systemreferencedocuments.org, and got this message: The domain "www.systemreferencedocuments.org" is not available. Anyone know what happened? It was a useful little site for perusing...

Hi all. I'm hoping to pick the brains of this intelligent community. My wife is an amateur, casual composer for her choral group, and she has been struggling with Printmusic! as her sheet music creation program for years. It is a *horrible* program, with a buggy, counterintuitive interface...

Hi all. I'm looking for a good discman, and having (surprising, to me) trouble finding one that has all the features I'm looking for. I thought I'd list them here, and see if anyone in this intelligent community knows of one that matches my needs. (Alternatively, a good website that reviews...

This is a question for all you people who think Wraithstrike is broken, going by RAW. (A viewpoint I happen to agree with.) --If I understand the general consensus correctly, Wraithstrike is broken because it allows a gish to dump all of his BAB into Power Attack, for a +2 bonus per point to...

My next campaign, which starts in anywhere between 3 and 8 months, will be based on the Arcana Evolved system, and set (probably) in Ruins of Intrigue. I thought I'd check with the good group of gamers here, and delve into your experiences. The title pretty much says it all. For those of you...

Druid cast this spell for the first time today. And I ruled it blocked LoS but not AoE. --And then, shortly afterward, jaw dropped, called wrapup cuz the enemy could do nothing. They were fighting Salamanders! And two nobles! (Who btw had already used up their dispels.) And we discussed...

I need some help, so I thought I'd fish for ideas here. But first, let me say that I do not want this to be a thread about whether the half-elf needs fixing or if it's just fine as is. So *please* don't post about that, here. I happen to think the half-elf is weak, but that is not the purpose...

Here's a couple of feats I'm introducing into my campaigns, and I thought I would pass them through the gaun--err, get some feedback on the forums here. What do you think?

...that everyone keeps talking about, apparently in an official WotC product, that allows a 1st-level arcane caster access to 2nd-level spells? I can't find it anywhere. If it can't be posted in its entirety, just the name and source would suffice. Thanks.

Here's a list of some of the over-the-top spells I've seen used in my campaign, and the fixes I've proposed for them. Some have come from discussions with my players, some have come from posts here. What steps have you taken to reduce the impact of your over-the-top spells? Black Tentacles...

Quick question. Title says it all. For example. Would a person with 5 ranks each in Bluff, Knowledge: Nobility, and Sense Motive have a total +6 bonus to Diplomacy? Or just a single +2?

What do you think? Would that be too powerful? It's hard to deny that Endurance is one of the weakest feats in the game. Diehard isn't bad--but strikes me as being a bit weak for a full-fledged feat by itself as well. However, combining them would probably then make Endurance too good--and...
