    Master Tools Summer Release

    yes, on the left hand you have PCgen, with too much data for any normal human to use all at once :) on the right hand you have MT, with the PHB, DMG and MM. the only thing in MT's favour as far as i can see, is that it will be likely to run a LOT faster than PCgen. But then doing 1/10 or less...

    Master Tools Summer Release

    saw it. went "enh" moved on... too much vapor in that ware by now, and too little left of the product to be worth more than "enh".

    ahem... you might like to take a look at this (dusted off my java books, you got me interested you see...) Its just a noddy class to try out my pseudo code above, seems to pas a first-glance look :)

    Question about the "Landlord" feat from SBG

    2 notes: 1; I meant i would not allow a player to "buy" this kind of patronage (ongoing and automatic in nature) with a feat - the opposite of what someone implied i meant. 2; the leadership feat grants the ABILITY to gain followers and cohorts, not automatic followers and cohorts (see the...

    EL formula help...

    further to reduce the chances of being unable to reduce the list, you need to find an orderin which to process the entries which raises the lower CRs towards the higher. therefore i suggest you sort the list in ascending order before beginning (which i think you were, on reflection) but, you...

    EL formula help...

    right... OK, quick nip to the car-park later... it appears that what you actually need to do is somewhat more complex... this is somewhat pseudocode-like. (once you have your list to work on) look at the head of the list search the rest of the list for either; a matched CR or; a CR 2 points...

    EL formula help...

    ahem... you should split apart the list handling from the calculation. e.g. (treat this a pseudo-code, me no do java no more...) int getELFrompair(int a, int b) {  if((a == b) || ((a + 1) == b))  {   return a+2;  }  else  {   return b;  } } int getELFromList(list theList) {  int temp...

    Question about the "Landlord" feat from SBG

    This sounds like an exceptional example of what should NOT be a feat, but something gained through RP. Why should a character / player be able to simply decide that they will "spend" their feat on gaining a patron like this?? nonsense, nonsense i tell you!

    D20 Modern - Feet or Meters

    I forgot to mention that UK pints and gallons (and tons - or is that tonnes, never can remember - and billions) are all actually different measures to the US ones... and who knows how long a league is? or how much a guinea is worth? or why bakers cannot count to 12 successfully?!?

    D20 Modern - Feet or Meters

    LOL... We brits have it bad; We measure our running tracks in metres, but distances between cities in miles We measure the floorspace of rooms in square metres, but fields in hectare OR acres We measure the volume of a drink in a bottle in litres, but in a glass we use pints We sell petrol...

    A DM's main priority is...

    rounser: 'at a more specific level than "make sure the players and I are having fun"' The dm's ONLY priority should be to ensure that everyone at the session has fun. (that includes themselves) You don't want to get more specific than that; if you alter your focus from that, you're going...

    How much for a prostitute?

    errr... I'd go for 1sp (cheap, at the docks) through 1gp or so (nicer, brothel etc) on to gifts and town houses (for a proper courtesan...) Make it up; I assume none of your players is going to be outraged by "unrealistic" tart prices :rolleyes:

    Skin Scribe PrC

    That was the impression I got :) Played one of those once. Sucked. Mainly due to Rifts - somehow having me running around with throwing knives and some tattoos that spawned gibbons, and another player in glitter-boy armor, didn't seem quite right to me. But then, I hate lasers and mechs anyway :)

    Warlock (Archsorcerer) PrC

    just a couple of thoughts... You do realise you cannot get into this class 'till 16th level? I guess you probably do, just thought i'd check... You don't specify arcane spells. "Feats: Spellcasting Prodigy (Sorcerer) (has to be taken at 1st level!), Extra Spell, Skill Focus (Concentration) "...

    PrC based on my SN - Care to take the SN PrC Challenge?

    OK... MonkeyBoy prc MonkeyBoys are those who have devoted themselves to the paths of simian kind. MonkeyBoys focus on combat, and on making others look silly. Frequently at the same time. Note; this is by no means a power class :) Pre Requisites: BAB +5 or better Wilderness Lore; 5 ranks...

    Skin Scribe PrC

    its a bit strong, specifically: Maximise Tattoo is cheap, the DC should raise a lot more than 5. In fact i'd be inclined to say that the SS could use maximise, on tattoos only, even if they didn't have the feat, or if they had the feat then lower the cost by 1 or 2 levels for tattoos only. The...

    circumstance bonuses?

    Here's an example of how I use circumstance bonuses; I have rules for ritual magic IMC, it takes a long time, and involves a skill check to perform correctly. There is also usually plenty of material components and aparatus involved. I allow the caster to take longer than is required for their...

    Should the Guide to U. Carnal Knowldege keep silly content or drop it?

    OK, since you ask. I've scanned through a little of the threads, out of curiosity. My honest opinion was that there was silly content, offensive content, and talk about the project itself (non-content). I didn't find anything else. Its really only this concept of "we want to be taken...
