    Please rate PC Gen

    ... Lets be straight; PCGen is the best Character Generator out there, by an order of magnitude. On the other hand, it has some problems: Its stupidly SLOW It has some fundamental bugs in New revisions are released too fast There seems to be little cohesion of development effort There...

    [OT-Football] Why doesn't chaos like this ever happen in American sports!

    you forgot to mention... That Celtic and Rangers also TOTALLY DESTROY all the other Scot teams whenever they play... (7-0 happens regularly when Celtic play any other team that Rangers... and vice versa) There is probably at least a small amount of "If those 2 weren't in our league, WE might...

    [OT-Football] Why doesn't chaos like this ever happen in American sports!

    ... that's NOTHING :) Scotland has it easy, in the "soccer" stakes... There's a nice TV company here called ITV Digital, which bought the rights to transmit live football games (its a slightly odd deal, i think they bought the exclusive rights to broadcast live, all English games - or some...

    Smack Down under 10

    Roland Delacroix: >>There is also some abiguity between what a "standard" and "attack" action are. According to the PHB pg. 122 "The attack action is a standard action."<< There's no real ambiguity: The Attack Action is a Standard Action which allows a single Attack. (as opposed to the Full...

    What software remains to be coded?

    ... and another thing :) I'd like a simple prog that allowed me to specify values to be inserted into, say, the PCGen csheet templates. Cut out all that character generation stuff, and just let me fill in the blanks :D In fact... Onto the To Do list with you! [edit; i'd like a secretary to...

    What software remains to be coded?

    Pie in the Sky time? My Favourite! Hrm... Some things either were talked about, or were done (some I started myself but then dropped!): (these are all for creating new things properly) Magic Item value calculator (done I think?) Weapon balance calculator (starte this myself, ditched it...

    Multiclassing abuse.

    Surely this is obvious? Take away the powers. All of them! Then calmly inform the group of how this player just totally wasted a level :D

    questions about Encyclopedia Arcane: Constructs, by Mongoose Publishing

    cheers! coyotzin: "Or if you're cruel, Magic Jar and Geas another being inside the construct..." Just wanted to say thanks; you've just given me a hook for a new villain for my game. Nice one!

    Mortality Radio Show #5 ...

    spam I'd like to know why mortality.net decided to spam my inbox with this advert (TWICE)? And also, more importantly, where you got my (work) email from? Not Impressed.

    Help ! How can I challenge the Druid ?...

    First thought; ROGUES! Rogues (multiples) hose front line fighters - just flank the tree-hugging freak, and watch those HP fall off. And with heavy pre-casters, its pretty easy to cut them up with an ambush: multiple rogues, with bows, hidden in ambush - while they pre-cast, the rogues will...

    POLL: New board for PrCs & class variants?

    take the alternate view... .. So that those of us who end up wading through the 10 billion "I changed one feat for a ranger, why won't anyone comment on my kewl new class?" or "my new PrC to allow me to get X bonuses while ignoring Y penalties - do you think its balanced?" threads, don't have...

    DMs: Do you alter gaming material before using it?

    tweakage a go-go I run everything for my game through my twin inbuilt detectors; the first for just plain bad ideas (quicker than the eye, jack of all trades) and the second for broken rules (improved critical, prestige classes which). If it makes it through that, its allowed, if not the...

    Criticism of the ENnies at RPG.net

    followed wolspider's link and... Well, I didn't see much noise in the 5 or so posts I read... I did see these quotes: " Me neither. I mean, The Witchfire Trilogy I: The Longest Night is still listed as the top adventure, I believe -- and that is a module with problems, if your review of The...

    ... DarwinofMind: " You seem to contradict yourself in your own post. You don't want anyone making a skill check to do anything a real human can't do without magic, yet, at the same time you don't like your spellcasters stealing the limelight. As long as there is magic in the game, the none...

    I Want Both :) Doggy-Paddling up a waterfall sticks in my craw a little, and without magic I'm not in the mood for spiderman, but still...

    The Magnificent Seven (The Dirty Dozen bears some comparison too, and Star Wars == Hidden Fortress so I hear...) I'm firmly sat on the fence with a foot in each camp (and a phrase coined in each hand...) I didn't like the action sequences in CTHD (the wire work was not, i'm afraid, very good -...

    Seafarer's Handbook Parry: Balanced?

    Re: Re: ... Total Defence; quite right - I actually wondered for a whole minute which term was which, then gave in assuming the right one would filter out :) Flat-Footed / No Dex Bonus; Well you have to sacrifice attacks you could have made, on your action - so you can't do it while flat...

    What level would an Make-Large spell be?

    ... Well, permanency and a DM that will allow it are 2 good options to start. But Enlarge specifically does NOT make most of the adjustments noted. So you would need to consult with a DM to get the final requirements. To my mind this would likely be a... (thinking) ... right; a 4th level I...

    Seafarer's Handbook Parry: Balanced?

    ... So, we need to re-edit this feat, here's my take; "On your action you may elect to sacrifice one or more of your attacks. When you are attacked in melee, you may attempt an opposed To Hit roll against your attacker; if you win their attack misses, should they win use their attack roll to...
