    Steve Mulhern's auto-calculating Excel spellsheet

    Greetings, folks! Been away for a while, but I'm back and gaming once again. I remember this nifty, neat-o sheet from back in the day, and I'm wondering if anyone knows where I could find an version of it that's been updated to 3.5? I found a mention of it in another thread, but the link...

    How do I deal with a cheating player?

    Hello All! First, I just wanted to say thank you for your help on the spellthief issue...I definitely know how I want to handle that now. However, this issue I've got now is with the same player who wanted to tweak out the spellthief. I'm 99.9% sure he's at a minimum fudging die rolls, if not...

    Spellthief: balanced, broken or just fine?

    Good day, all! I've got a player in my current campaign who's playing a spellthief. This is probably my fault for not doing my homework before hand, but he had his first opportunity to steal a spell this past session. When he detailed how it worked, I was thrown back. Apparently he can just...

    I can't find the spreadsheet anymore!

    Hello all... Sadly it seems that all I do around here anymore is beg for your assistance...so here goes again... Back a few years I had this awesome Excel spreadsheet on my computer that, with some initial effort and input, would list EVERYTHING a spellcaster needed to know about his/her spell...

    Advice on getting back in, and other matters...

    Good point, Cypher. I'm not concerned at all with getting my fiance interested; I don't expect that to ever happen. :) One thing I've considered is using the D&D game a few nights a week to give my fiance a few hours of peace and quiet. The girls can be clingy and demanding sometimes, and...

    Advice on getting back in, and other matters...

    Greetings, all... It's been a long while since I posted here. Who would've imagined that graduating college and entering the real world would've sucked up so much of my free time????? :D Anyway, I've been out of gaming for a while, and lately I've really been itching to get back in. And...

    Help me with Choices

    Just a few thoughts: Chime of opening? Immovable Rod? Rope of Climbing? Might be a bit pricey, but any one of them is well worth it. - Jason

    For those who have Complete Divine - a magic item question

    Hrm...okay, so he's not retrieving it for him, but for his priest or something, with strict orders to protect it at all costs. Stress that it's of the utmost importance for some thing the priest has going on. Then, when he loses it, it's *that* much more important that he gets it back. Or, if...

    For those who have Complete Divine - a magic item question

    Sweet. Then if you're using unspeakable evil, why nerf the item at all? I say we bring back the good ol' days, when putting on a magic helm or using a magic item actually had negative consequences once in a while. Where's the risk anymore?...but I digress... Most of those items in Complete...

    About ... your table

    My current group has actually managed to find an unoccupied conference room in the student union building of a local college. We meet there, and will continue to do so until we're kicked out :D - Jason

    For those who have Complete Divine - a magic item question

    First step: I wouldn't allow your player to use the Fist of Raziel class unless you're also using stuff from the Book of Vile Darkness in your game. In my experience, stuff from those two books is terribly unbalanced when used independently of the other. If you're game features the sublimely...

    Creative Spellcasting

    Hrmmmmm...I think I can relate two stories for this one. I played in neither game (as each happened before I got into role-playing), so my recollection might be slighty fuzzy. But both remain timeless tales among my friends... 1) (AD&D game) Adventuring group rolls into town, parks themselves...

    How would you handle this player/situation? (long-ish)

    Just a quick reply, as I'm off to work... The player and I have discussed his bushido at length. Recall the "Klingon" comment he made; this is what he envisioned for his character, and he is not playing it. That's the issue. We've established that his character is not necessarily a leader in...

    How would you handle this player/situation? (long-ish)

    I would tend to agree. But part of the problem is that the player in question won't play anything but a Samurai. That's fine, if he'd actually play a Samurai. He doesn't know how to role-play, and barely knows how to roll-play. I think he's taken on WAY more than he's ready to handle, and...

    How would you handle this player/situation? (long-ish)

    So I just started this game at home, and I have a situation with a player already. Preliminary information: all of my players are either good friends of mine or family members, so a happy solution is necessary. All but one of my players is relatively new to D&D. The problem player has played...

    To anyone with a copy of Complete Divine on hand...

    ...I need some quick, simple help. I left my copy at home, and I need to know how many spells a 7th level Favored Soul would get. I know it's more than a Sorcerer, but I can't remember how many of each spell level (I think a 7th level Favored Soul has 4th level spells...). Thanks a bunch to...
