Alas, my beloved Fighter/Rogue is now pushing up the proverbial daisies, and it is time now to create a new character. The concept behind my new character is a heavily nature-focused Cleric. Problem is, the cleric spell list isn't particularly nature oriented, even when choosing the...

You can apply Weapon Finesse to melee touch attacks? I wasn't aware of that. That's what I'll do then. Thanks for the help! -tRR

I've got a very low strength wizard I'm creating and had a question about melee touch attacks. Namely, are melee touch attacks keyed off of Strength or Dexterity? I figure the answer is Strength since it's a melee touch attack, but I don't get it conceptually, since I'm merely touching the...

Not to keep singling you out, but if you click on "Browse Images" on BGG you can see the date when each picture was uploaded to the site. I think you'll notice tons of pics uploaded way back in September and October, and in most of the images showing the figures (except for 4) they are...

Ain't perceptions fun? :) I go to BattleLore's website and find nary a painted figure. There aren't any painted figures on their blog either. BoardGameGeek has 100 (100!) images of the game, of which only 4 are of someone's painted set. I can't seem to find the bait-n-switch which you imply...

I've got this on pre-order and am chomping at the bit to get the game into my grubby little hands. The Hill Giant promo figure has already arrived and is currently sitting on my desk, taunting me with a steely-eyed gaze under his protruding brow. I own Memoir 44 and enjoy the game, although I...

I've checked out their program and it is admittedly very cool. Very detailed. My ideal system would: - be something I can generate on the fly away from the computer, using dice. - would account for the current weather condition, season, and general climate type. - forcast the weather out from...

Excellent! Thanks for the help. -tRR

Anyone know of a good random weather generator? I'm not looking for software, but rather a regular system using dice. Are there any posted on the web? Thanks, -tRR

Thanks for the help! I just couldn't quite figure out what his deal was, but you fine folks have made things much clearer. Thanks again! -tRR

*** Please only include Season 1 spoilers *** I have recently finished watching season 1 and am really digging the show. However, I don't get Gaius Baltar. Could someone explain his character to me? What is his connection with the cylons? Is he a cylon? What's up with "sexy cylon" always...

Thanks for the response. The running example never touched on the NPCs making their own obstacle checks, so I wasn't sure. Much clearer now, though. Thanks! -tRR

I'm looking forward to trying these rules in my campaign! One question: when the rules state that on any driver's turn the first step is to check for obstacles, does that include all npc drivers? In other words, in the example provided should the hobgoblins be making their own obstacle checks...

The trick with using Inkscape is to realize that you are using a vector-based program instead of a raster-based one (i.e. MS Paint). You aren't painting pixels, you are drawing objects. If your freeform line isn't exactly how you want it to look, simply edit the path nodes and control handles...

All of you entrenched MS Paint users might want to consider looking at Paint .NET. Think of it as MS Paint with layers. I guarantee you'll love it or your money back! :) -tRR

The stuff you guys are doing looks great, especially considering you're using nothing more than MS Paint! Not to pimp my own work, but before too many people start disparaging Gimp I wanted to show that it is a great tool for making maps. Technically, you can draw shapes with it using the Gfig...

I am trying to come up with something different for a mage guild in my low-magic campaign world, but I'm stumped. I don't necessarily want the "traditional" fraternal order complete with a ruling council of elders, but I'm having trouble wrapping my brain around anything else. I'd love to hear...

When I read the description of the game and purchased it, I had the assumption that a PC could pick up a game of 3DA with multiple NPCs, which turned out not to be the case. It's not designed for the DM to run several NPCs in the game -- at least not easily. So if your adventuring group wants...
