    One Annoyed God + One Stuborn Player

    My internet connection is funky right now, or i would search myself but I might recommend doing some google-ing for some old medieval laws about what would happen to someone who attacked someone who had claimed sanctuary in a church. I do like the idea of the random zealot coming after the PC...

    SRD 3.5 Competition

    I'll agree with you about PNG support, i really wish they supported it in a better fasion. I have found a way to get around the transparency thing using a IE-only filter, but since it is IE only it doesn't work at all in anything else. For curiositys sake I want to ask you what you mean by IE...

    SRD 3.5 Competition

    Well, then I guess it is a good thing i don't consider myself a "professional" even though most other people think I am.:D (I think the 4 (5 if you count messing around with HTML in college) years of experience throws them off.) Now, having said that, I design for IE 5/6, with some regards to...

    SRD 3.5 Competition

    Don't hate the playa, hate the game.:D He says "web-friendly", and I think anything that can be done on the web, which does cover server-side stuff. If he wants to make server-side stuff a seperate catagory, that's fine with me. In all seriousness, I have been learning under some very good...

    SRD 3.5 Competition

    Before i throw my hat in the ring, one question: As far as web-based entries go are you looking for stock HTML that can be thrown on a disk and run anywhere, or are server-side options (such as maybe ASP/MySQL) viable?

    Help I need a Haunted Mansion Map!

    I'd recommend google'ing for "free house plans" or something of that nature. There are plenty of sites out there that have free blue prints of houses ranging from a single bedroom up to full size mansions. I went to http://www.homeplans.com and found some good sized houses by using their...

    dising 3.5

    You know what's even more impressive then a player who doesn't want to change rules when the rest of the group does? A DM who doesn't want to change rules when the rest of the group does - but says he will allow the players to use the 3.5 rules while he uses the 3.0 rules. Needless to say, the...

    Encounters with the Supernatural

    First - a quick tidibt my step-Dad told me about a local legend in Papua New Guinea (if i recall correctly). In one area of town there was an extremely sharp turn that was next to a cliff, the tales have it that a man would stand to ahead of the turn on the side of the road (like he was trying...

    The whole POINT of 3.5 (that everyone is missing)

    I think what nute is trying to say is that someone who walks in off the street with no prior knowledge of D&D will probably end up with the 3.5 books. They'll walk into an FLGS, or a bookstore or someother venue and go look for the books. They may have one or two 3.0 books on the shelf, but...

    How vivid is the violence in your game?

    I try to describe things relative to how much hp they just took from Creature X. 1 hp from a 30 hp creature is a scratch, 7 hp from an 8 hp creature is a limb getting lost or something else major being lopped off, slashed, etc. The players seem enjoy it because after theyhit something hard...

    Brawler / Bare Knuckle Fighter Classes?

    Thanks guys - i will try to check all your suggestions out. I reread the OA rules for monks and figured out that i can drop some of the monk abilites (Stunning attack, deflect arrows & improbed trip) for some other martial arts feats from OA, so i am able to come very close to what i want.

    Brawler / Bare Knuckle Fighter Classes?

    Hola. I'm in the middle of trying to build a decent brawler/bare knuckle fighter and for the life of me I can't find any decent base class options, monk options (ala OA or Quint. Monk) or anything else that scream "this is perfect!". I've tried the following: 1) Beyond Monks - The Art of the...

    Tactics class. Begin now.

    ok - last one for now. this one is real simple. Dancing Girl and your worlds equivilant of a champagne room. Here's the catch: Dancing Girl = Doppleganger Rogue with high social skills. Champagne = Poisoned Champagne The champagne is drugged with something that A) The Doppleganger is...

    Tactics class. Begin now.

    Ao the Overkitty mentioning Mind Flayers brought another idea back to me. There is a psionic lizardish creature (i forget the name right now) that has a mental blast as well. I remember fighting the nasty little buggers in the Tomb of Abysthor. If i recall it was a 15 or 20 foot cone that...

    Tactics class. Begin now.

    What about a group of Nilbogs (Tome of Horrors) with rogue levels with medium sized saps (making them larger should increase the damage die, and since they are using them 2h if you give the nilbogs a higher strength they could do a bit more damage). I think that the added sneak attack damage...

    Modules and Suspension of Disbelief

    I think it depends on the DM. I've been in one group where the DM could run modules well and the players didn't have a problem with it. He added his own bits and worked into his world fairly well, and if there was a hiccup he was able to smooth it over fairly quickly. I have also been in a...

    New 3.5 Base Classes-The Return

    just a thought Although it doesn't fit in with "the rules" as building a new class would, why not just adapt the skills packs used in the d20 version of Call of Cthulhu? I'm not saying it's an easy solution (i can think of 2 or 3 ways to implement this, but w/o testing i don't know which way...

    [M&M] Building a better Brick

    :eek: i knew that it was to good to be true! thankfully it was a one-shot game. I am still learning the rules and i was relying on how many of the powers that stack together have notes about such things (like how protection and amazing save: damage don't stack). I will have to be more...

    [M&M] Building a better Brick

    something i used that was very effective for a tank was the Aborption power maxed to 10 ranks (i beleive i used the extra to allow absorbing of both normal attacks and energy attacks as well), then Amazing Save(Damage) also maxed to 10 ranks. Take a 20 Con score and the toughness feat as well...
