Here's something I've recommended in the House Rules forum. Rather than link, I'll repeat myself: ----------------------------------- Assume that everyone in your 3e D&D world have abilities which follow the 3d6 generation method distribution. If this is the case, then doing a little math...

I like these ideas. I suppose some would cry about fairness and rules, but I think a lot of people who play would rather have their characters die at the hands of the BBED than by some lucky goblin, if those were the only storyboards available. So especially at low levels, I skew everything to...

Wow, that's a beautiful site, and more flexible than mine. The only thing I noticed was that it doesn't quite get DR right. This happens when the average damage of a weapon + bonus is < DR. It's not correct to then claim that the average modified damage (average weapon dam + bonus - DR) is...

Well, I've got one...don't know if this suites you, since right now it's only designed for the Fighter BAB progression, and only incorporates PHB weapons and feats (plus Monkey Grip and Greater Two-Weapon Fighting from official class books). Modify it if you'd like. Cheers...

Well, I think it's a very very safe assumption that NPC attributes in the D&D world are Normally distributed about the population mean. I know it's fantasy, but it strikes me as absurd and cartoonish if this wasn't the case. Does this mean 3d6 is the right distribution? No--maybe the variance...

Only 2 models? Models? You want models? I give you models. http://www.geocities.com/frisbeet/DandDandFightin.html Use this site to your heart's content. You will see that 30 to 40 points is indeed not unrealistic. But the all important caveat is that AC and DR must be accounted for in...

Yup, that's right. P(18)*P(>8)^5 =(1/216)*(160/216)^5 160 is the # of ways of rolling 3 dice for a sum greater than or equal to 8. 216 is the # of ways of rolling 3 dice. Every frequency suggests a new method. Are you comfortable with playing a best in 1000 character? Then assign an 18 to...

This went over like a lead balloon on the Wotc boards, so I'm modifying it. Maybe it's still too avant-garde/avant-crap. Assume that everyone in your 3e D&D world have abilities which follow the 3d6 generation method distribution. If this is the case, then doing a litttle math, you'll find...

As I'm not yet a community supporter, I've not done a proper search for this topic--I assume it's been done to death as some subject before, e.g. TWF vs. Two-Handed Fighting debate. Nevertheless, here I resurrect damage/round optimization. I offer this because I made it for my own satisfaction...
