    3d6 opposed roll probability

    Hey guys. I've been looking at making the switch in my homebrew from 1d20 to 3d6, per the section in Unearthed Arcana. I'm building an excel spreadsheet for "playtesting", and I was wondering if the formula I've got now, which calculates opposed d20 rolls, would work for 3d6 rolls, if I just...

    Craft and Profession skills and Medieval Guild Apprenticeships

    I'm working on a homebrew setting for d20 based on 8th-11th century Near East, and I'm working on incorporating guilds into the setting and rules system. I know that in the past, especially in the Medieval era, guilds were a big thing, very powerful and very secretive; most non-guild craftsmen...

    Dice damage progression

    I'm playing with a build at the moment, which uses a particular weapon I have found, the Defender's Runecannon ("Quintessential Dwarf"), which has ammunition which does 4d10 damage per round expended. The Defender's Runecannon is a Large weapon, and fires 2-4 rounds per single attack. I'm...

    Goliaths and Gigantic Weapon Feat

    If a Goliath ("Races of Stone") is able to use Large weapons without penalty (Powerful Build racial trait), shouldn't it be able to take the Gigantic Weapon feat ("Ultimate Feats", Mongoose publishing) and use Gargantuan weapons (two sizes larger than Large) at -2? Gigantic Weapon: "You can...

    Ranged Sneak Attack While Hidden

    Are enemies considered flat-footed -or- denied their dex bonus to AC against a hidden character? I've a wicked idea for a sniper rogue.

    Defeating a Great Wyrm Force Dragon

    Sorry that I haven't been around to comment (new job, etc.), but I must say, this has gotten interesting! </post of surprisingly little substance>

    Defeating a Great Wyrm Force Dragon

    I wasn't thinking about taking the party's level up to 59... i was trying to keep it at 30. But you're right, a 55+ party could destroy it, and they're the divine intervention, anyway, lol. Hrm. Keeping the party level at 30... no, 40, would it be possible to defeat this creature?

    Defeating a Great Wyrm Force Dragon

    I was reading the Epic Level Handbook, and came across the entries for epic dragons. I was dumbfounded at some numbers for a Great Wyrm Force Dragon: Name: Great Wyrm Force Dragon Size: Colossal+ HD: 75d12+1,875 (2,362 HP) AC: 102 (–8 size,+26 deflection, +74 natural) AB: +99 Fort.:+64...

    Roofwalker and Boots of Landing

    Boots are armor, though, right? I haven't read anything that says that you can't do that. And I think you're right on the price-- I forgot to add in Body Slot Affinity.

    Roofwalker and Boots of Landing

    Ah, I understand now-- no magic and psionic items. The Psionic Landing quality was just a bonus-- I really don't need it, anyway. Thanks for your help! EDIT: But other than that, did I do the pricing right? They're now at 11500 gp. Does that seem about right?

    Roofwalker and Boots of Landing

    Thanks for your reply, Iku Rex; I finally understand now. Time to make some Boots of Landing, Striding, Springing, and Landing, though I'm pretty sure I could change the name! EDIT: Price check on those boots (never actually crafted anything before!) Boots of Striding and Springing : 5500 gp...

    Roofwalker and Boots of Landing

    Alright. Thanks for that clarification-- I was having trouble understanding exactly what the SRD meant by their description.

    Roofwalker and Boots of Landing

    Ooh, ring of featherfall-- I didn't think about that. More complications! The way I understand it, the "Ring of Featherfall" would act like the "Boots of Landing." Is this correct?
