    Racecalc & Classcalc Site?

    I think I asked here before, but just checking to see if anyone knows what happened to these sites? They were supposedly moved to http://www.hmimages.com/d20/classcalc.html but that site doesn't seem to be working. Did anyone download them?

    How to make your donation!

    Okay, so I disappear due to work for a couple of days and by the time I get back, I find that the donating link on Expeditious Retreat's site is down and the PayPal link to Eric doesn't work if it's tied to a credit card. So, how do I donate? I pretty much go to this site every day so I'd like...

    Templates and ECLs

    That's a good way to go. The thing that's different for these templates, though, is that they're created to be applied to every race exactly the same. So, you can take the "desert" template and lay it on top of a dwarf or a human or an orc and create a new sub-race but that sub-race will have...

    Templates and ECLs

    I was looking through an old Dragon issue the other day (#306) and I noticed in the article on "Racial Variants" that only one of the variants had a +1 ECL (the "deep" variant). For those without the article - basically it gives ideas for altering the core races slightly to account for...

    Still Need Help Pricing Magic Items

    Cool - thanks for your help. I think I was a little confused by a use-activated item versus an item that has a permanent spell attached to it, but one that is not always "in use".

    Still Need Help Pricing Magic Items

    Looking for someone to double-check my numbers here. 1) Item allows the wearer to use "command, greater" once per day on up to 10 subjects for 10 rounds/subject. Caster Level: 10th Craft Wondrous Item Command, Greater Price: 108,000 GP CL (10) x Spell Level (5th) x 1,800 GP (command-word...

    Help Pricing Magic Items

    Thanks for your help, everyone! I knew that by posting here I'd get some help on this. It seems that pricing magic items is a little more "gut instinct" than I thought at first, but I really do appreciate all of the help.

    Help Pricing Magic Items

    Sure, that totally might work. Where I'm getting tripped up is just in general trying to figure out the prices. I price the items according to the formulas in the DMG and on Table 7-33 but 9 times out of 10 I come up with a price that's a lot more than what the DMG prices the same item at...

    Help Pricing Magic Items

    Okay, that does help quite a bit since I was obviously reading the item description incorrectly. How about an item that gives +2 to attacks, damage, saves, skill checks and AC to all allies within 30' (kind of reproducing some of the bardic inspirational abilities)? How would one go about...

    Help Pricing Magic Items

    I'm trying to create some new magic items but I'm having problems with the pricing. I'm using the DMG as a guidelines but I can't always back into the costs that they give to certain items while using table 7-33. For example, the 'circlet of persuasion' grants the bearer a +3 bonus to his...

    Questions about the various incarnations of D&D

    Holy cow! How did you know all of that so quickly? I've played through various versions of the game and could have given general information, but you had specifics like issue numbers of "The Strategic Review" which probably most people don't know was the predecessor to "The Dragon"(TM). About...

    (OT) Adulthood Survival Kit

    One More Thing You've probably already packed up your box but I've gotta agree with Tonguez about the whole "communal shower" issue. The guys in my dorm were complete slobs (I guess most single guys are) and the bathroom floor was disgusting. I would strongly suggest that you either include...

    Wasting skill points on 'background' skills

    I have to disagree with Elder Basilisk's assumption that a certain type of character (in this case, a merchant-type rogue) is an inappropriate character for a D&D game. What about a merchant-rogue who owns or works for a big overland import/export company and becomes the leader of the party...
