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

    How important is good artwork in a product?

    Its all about percieved value. Thats why joe punter will pay a little more for product X if it comes in a nice shiny black box. Preferably a big black box. Its why you pay more for a black PC case than a beige one, and pay even more for shiny aluminium. (all right, so the aluminium one is...

    PC Alignment clash with a twist

    Jeremy; one of the main uses we make of summon monster spells IMC now is to either put "fodder" in the way of the Big Bad, or to summon the critter into the opposing "flanking position" for the rogue. Using, say, Summon Monster 2 to summon d3 Celestial Badgers around a creature is far better...

    PC Alignment clash with a twist

    Umbran has it right; unless you have some house-rule about it. (the universal caveat!) Using a summoning spell to summon a creature which either has (or in the case of a templated one) would have the Evil designator, makes the spell have the Evil designator. And casting an Evil designated...

    .lst files; just the bits I use. if i were silly enough to load all that data, i'd be impressed if it didn't crash, let alone load fast :) though to be fair, I did go and count, and 12 is more than a tad low - its more like 25 .lst files. its most of the PHB, some of the DMG, and little bits...

    "I just don't know many programs that load in under 15 seconds on my system your mileage may vary." The only programs on my system which take longer than PCGen to load are; NS4.76 (notoriously slow), Adobe Photoshop (likewise) and Adobe Acrobat. I should also mention that my observed times are...

    4th lvl. smackdown?

    That's an interesting concept of "Core Rules" you have there, Gaiden. I'd assumed he meant PHB, DMG, MM - them being the Core Rule books :D

    Do Uncanny Dodge levels stack?

    yup (ish) Right, no books here, but I recall the correct answer as being: Total your levels in all classes that grant UCDodge. Then check all the relevant tables, and work your ability out using this combined level on the most favourable of those tables. IIRC this generally means using the...

    How to make a good Investigation Adventure?

    Re: In addition... Mmmm. I always treat the "investigation skills" as crutches. By that I mean this; your average person can walk, right? But sometimes, they will be in a position where a crutch will help them (twisted ankle, whatever). Assume your average person can "investigate", but that...

    On trying to find a good way to remove XP penalties while keeping favored classes

    Monkey hate training costs, grrr :mad: But that's a "my oh my isn't it nice to ditch all those 'rather less than good' rules from previous editions" issue :) If you want to take away the penalties, but keep an advantage for those races, why not give an advantage instead of replacing it with...

    If you're still casting around, I'd be happy to be the impartial DM. Sounds like a useful experiment to me :)

    Monte's Secert Project>>Anyone NOT care?

    Ig! Its only interesting BECAUSE its secret :) And since that "secret" comment was a throwaway, basically amounting to "i'm working on something for wotc, and wotc put NDAs on all their stuff 'till it hits the catalog", its actually not interestin at all. But... Its "secret", so its...

    How to make a good Investigation Adventure?

    Start at the begining. Decide exactly Who is doing What, How they are doing it and Why. You need good solid answers to all of those before you can begin to get a plot together, unless its "the monsters live in the hole in the ground because thats where they live". Once you have this you can...
