Anyone using any good PC dice rollers? I was using Dice Roll Deluxe but can no longer find where I actually downloaded it. Are there any better ones out there? Thanks. --CT

True Strike Obviously you'll have to guess which square the beasty is but the True Strike spell negates the 50% miss chance entirely. Area effect spells targeted "somewhere in the vicinity" don't care if the enemy is invisible. --CT

A friend and I have never played with the "Death From Massive Damage" rule. Why not? We always thought it was a variant rule because the only place we could find rules for it was in the DMG and that addressed a variant rule for larger-size creatures (there might be somewhere else besides the SRD...

I still have not yet received Dragon in the mail yet. I have a friend who has also not received his and another friend who *has* gotten it. What's the deal? Anyone else having this problem? Is there any way for me to complain to Paizo? I've checked their website and WotC's website but there is...

It was my understanding that, yeah, you can use, reproduce, and pass along anything that is open gaming content. But that doesn't necessarily mean that you should be able to get that information for free, right? I thought it was a lot like open source code for software. Everyone always assumes...

Oops...duh. Buzz: I'm with you 100%. Just because people have rights does not make *everything* a right. And good point about the SRD. People who create and sell things in an honest fashion, however, have a right not to be ripped off. Those who buy worthwhile products eventually encourage...

Sounds like a pretty empty life to me. What's "NE"? (probably obvious but I'm drawing a blank). --CT [edited to correct some sloppy typing]

Well, I can't really argue with that. But what it sounds like to me is that you don't really have any compassion for anyone but you. You don't think what you do affects anyone else and, if it does, that's their problem, because "you don't care." I'm sure many of this world's prisoners know...

So, if you personally own something that I would like to have, can I have it? Do you mind if I just come on over and take it? Do I need to justify this? Apparently not. I mean, why should I have to actually *pay* for it when I can just take it from you? --CT

Wow...that is totally lame and a cop-out. In my opinion there is totally no good reason to pirate all of that. Honestly, that's disgusting. Yes, I've used Napster/Kazaa/whatever. I have downloaded a few random songs to listen to, some of which have resulted in me actually buying the album. I...

I got some stuff but the most meaningful things I got were 1) a crocheted afghan (a blanket, not a person from Afghanistan) :) from my sister and 2) Ferris Bueller's Day off on DVD from my loving wife...who picked up on the fact that it's one of my all-time favorite movies. But spending time...

I can't think of any great remedy for Tumble at this point but how's this for Concentration: 15 + (spell level X number of threatening combatants). Let's say there are two people threatening you and you're casting a 5th level spell: 15 + 10=25 You'd need to make the Concentration check...

Whoops, I meant to post this in house rules, actually. Here's how I do it. Tumble: To tumble past someone, you make your Tumble check and they make their Reflex save. Success=no AoO. Failure=AoO but you end up where you wanted (the same as running through their threatened area, which I think...

My players and I all feel that Concentration and Tumble checks as written in the D&D rules are, well, too easy to make. I know there are variants out there and we're trying to incorporate them but we haven't been able to really find a suitable substitute that is fair. Specifically: Tumble...

IMO, a sorcerer=really great multiclass option if you take a couple of levels. Heck, just take sorcerer to get spells like shield, mage armor, haste, invisibility, whatever. Obviously you won't be dealing much harm to enemies but if you're happy with just taking sorcerer to amp yourself up, a...

Laptops I use my wife's laptop (when she lets me) to DM but I only use it for a couple of things: 1) The game is in Word format 2) Internet access (in case I need it) 3) Most importantly--HTML pages of anything and everything I'm going to need for the session, locally stored. I usually have...

This player is definitely not a cheater and he plays in another campaign with DM'd by another person in our group and he seems to enjoy that character more. That character, however, is a 15th level Arcane Archer/Deepwood Sniper with a pretty badass bow so he does pretty well for himself. I...

Hmmm It's a toss-up between the two following: 1. A goblin lackey named "Bait" who latched onto the half-orc character in the party. He was fun to play as he got kicked around. 2. A not-so-smart halfling named Berbil Brandybritches. He just got introduced to the party and is still with them...

Oopsie! I forgot to include that, yes, he was resurrected (via true resurrection). The party has two people who can use teleport so one of them scooped up the paladin sweepings and they purchased the spell. Kinda makes a difference, eh? I'm also rather lenient on deaths in my...

I'll see if I can make this short. During my last session, the party went up against two beholders. One of the players was hit by a ray of disintegrate and rolled a 1, so he died...so did his cloak of the firebath. At this point he starts talking about what he'll do for his next character. Now...
