Most of my players have a bag of holding, and they're always getting into them or putting others into them for various reasons. All too heavy to teleport? Get in the bags and have the caster carry them. Got a prisoner? Tie them up and leave them in a bag. Poison gas? Well, you get the picture...

I'm trying to merge the Dragonstar and Spycraft grenades, and I'm perplexed as to how much each type should cost. Spycraft budget points, in my experience, don't directly convert to gold pieces very well, and Dragonstar prices are much much too low. What I want to figure out is how much a given...

So the DMG says a necklace of fireballs is worth 150 for every die of damage, at a DC of 14. Is there a rule anywhere to determine the price of a similar necklace, but at a higher DC? The necklace is just an example, I'm looking for something I could apply to most magic items. Also, I'm trying...

We have a winner!

Not so much a riddle as a... well, I'm sure there's a good name for it. It could be used in any modern or future game, as well as any fantasy game where magic is used to simulate light switches. You are in a room with only one exit. The exit leads downs a winding path to a second room. In your...

I'm trying to expand Table 7-4 of the PHB (3.5) to include the very high damage caused by high-tech weapons, but even with the similar tables in the DMG, I'm uncertain of what to do at very high damage values, especially for large weapons. Below is what I have right now. I apologize for the...

Urban Legend? No... Something I wouldn't believe if I hadn't seen it myself? Definitely... "Nobody Touch the Table!" Source: Saw it with my own two eyes Premise: A d20 was rolled and stopped on an edge. It wasn't resting on anything else. Of course, the edge might have been slightly wider than...

I thought I had finally understood the grappling rules until I re-read them a few times and questions started popping into my head. Would it have killed them to put a really complex example? So, say a young adult green dragon (base attack/grapple: +17/+27) is grappling a 14th level human...

Thanks for the replies! They've pointed me in the right direction. Indeed, I realized that cops surely aren't allowed to bring their own guns to work. For legal reasons, I wasn't even allowed to bring my own lawnmower to cut the front lawn of a factory where I had a summer job when their...

Well I'm not running an actual Spycraft game, but the financial system is similar enough. Characters are agents for an organization. For missions, they receive a certain amount of credits with which to purchase equipment. Now, unlike what appears to be assumed in Spycraft, characters actually...

Just got the Wheel Of Time RPG today. Had a few questions, so I went to the wizards site, only to discover there is no longer any web support available. Does anyone know where else I could find an official FAQ and/or errata, assuming they exist? Or does someone have a copy they could send me...

Might as well chip in since I started this... Actually, my main purpose in giving a BDB is to compensate for a reduction in character wealth. It's only about 75% what it should be. Also, I've made my own progression charts, which provide much less of a bonus than usual. A 20th level character...

If you were to give a class defense bonus to each class, qualified as either Poor, Average, or Good, like it's done in Star Wars, Wheel Of Time, and Spycraft, who would get which type of bonus? I'm determining this for my game, and currently give Good to Monks and Rogues, Bad to Clerics...

Well I didn't exactly mean it in the sense of getting more skills points than you normally would without Hero levels. What I mean is that being able to boost your Int at all before the quadrupling seems somewhat unfair if you start above 1st level. No matter how many skill points you get, you...

Through the use of Four Color To Fantasy and some magic items, a player of mine has legally given his 8th level character about +45 in both Hide and Move Silently. He also has a speed of about 120. Add to this the extremely chaotic nature of the character. Basically, I do not see how I can...

It seems to me that if characters are created above 1st level, more specifically 5th level and above, they can take all their levels in Hero except one, declare their non-Hero level as being the last one they took, use Hero Points to boost their Intelligence, and gain an absurd amount of skill...

Concerning the original Four Color To Fantasy (might concern the Revised too, but I don't have it). When someone takes a level of Hero, do they get 0 skill points or 0 + Int mod. skill points? I know the text only says 0, and that traditionally the Int bonus is indicated, but this seems a little...

Hmmmm... I actually hadn't thought of that. But couldn't this lead to a fighter with cool magical armor who wears it for most of his career... and then just stops. Unless you also give it DR... maybe. Furthermore, monks would become utterly untouchable... it would kinda be like a double defense...

Thanks a lot for the replies everyone. It's given me a lot of stuff to think about. A few replies of my own: Severion, why change healing spells from d8 to d4? I don't see it... Lugh, upon reflection, there's no way I can do a D&D magic level and a class defense bonus, so the latter will...

Last night I ran a one-shot adventure based on an organization that recruits people from the thousands of universes (prime material planes) to basically fix problems here and there. The concept was to mix a whole bunch of D20 games. There was smoke para-genasi ninja-jedi, a bladeback divine...
