I was about to mention this. Haven't really tried them yet, but they appear to be useful. There are also rules for PCs in business in Green Ronin's Advanced Gamemaster's Guide and there are some free rules floating on EnWorld by Old One (Old One's D20 Economic System).

Yep... they still are a level based barrier. However, I still don't like items giving flat out ranks for any skill.

While it would be nice to have it bookmarked -as well as every PDF product out there-, Toolbox is still a great resource. I haven't used it while playing, but I use it heavily while doing prep work or to get ideas for sub-plots or one shots.

There are some magical books in a lot of supplements (WotC and 3rd party) that give ranks in a particular skill (ie: In the B4 Encounter of Expedition to the Demonweb Pits there is a "magic volume that (if read for 1 week) grants 1 rank in Knowledge (the planes)." ) Personally, I don't allow...

Approx 45 KB. It's a little big for what it does. Still, I want to put my generators online in the near future.

I never thought someone would be interested in it. However, there are two minor problems: 1) It's written in PHP and since I don't have a website -yet... I'm trying to build one, but haven't had a lot of spare time lately- I run it locally. 2) Since I just expected to use it for my games it's...

Everyone is supposed to have fun. EVEN the GM. I've seen lots of campaigns just die because the GM didn't enjoy what was happening. Players and GMs are entitled to enjoy the game.

I created a script based on the weather system presented in Wildscape.

Glad I could help you.

A few months ago, I was looking for that same thing. Here is what I found thanks to the wonderful EnWorld users.

Considering that I am in that same situation, I've used Dundjinni extensively. There are more skilled people here that use Photoshop or something like that, and I'm sure they'll also offer some advice about it.

Precisely what I was talking about.

So, to get a flavourful description of what I want I need to accept a mechanic penalty to my action? Why not just "If the attack hits and the damage is enough to reduce that victim to 0 or fewer HP, the desired effect occurs". (Actually, that's what I've been doing all this time...)

Nope, there aren't. However, there is plenty of 3rd party stuff with called-shot rules.

Yup. Quoting from the "Deserts" chapter -and any other environment chapter-: And as for a PDF option, you can find it on RPGNow

I completely second this suggestion. By far the best environmental rules there are for D20.

Does your player have the Maidenheim Campaign Setting book? It's your safest bet, actually.

I was a bit skeptical when I read his rules for the first time, but after seeing them in action in my own game I was instantly convinced. Another vote for UK's work!

For tactical -ie: combat- scale, the SRD lists this: For overland movement, there's no modifier listed, so I'd go with Forest, trackless.

Congrats Phil!! As long as it maintains the quality we're used to -and I'm sure it will- we can survive with that reduced rate.
