My experiences with the RPGA: I started going to cons in the late 80's, and was introduced to the concept of competitive roleplaying. These were mostly cons in upstate NY, where three round elimination tournaments were the norm and RPGA did not have much of a presence. My first few...

Has anyone ever tried to create a magic item to give a skill enhancement to "Use Magic Item"? I would think the spell prereq's would have to be something fairly high, such as "Imbue with Spell Ability", but even that is not mimicking the entire skill. Barcode

One of my PC's wants to make a Diplomacy skill enhancing wonderous item, and I am trying to decide on the appropriate spell prerequisite. Charm Person is an obvious one, but just feels a bit wrong, especially considering the extra baggage (racial immunities, etc) that go along with charms...

If there are, I obviously don't know about them. Could you be more specific?

One of my PC's has submitted this for approval. I wanted to pass it in front of the group to see if you can see any potential problems... The Exalter Any hum-drum Bard can inspire courage and confidence. But it takes a special sort of character to so fill his allies with vim and vigor that...

Suppose a bard just keeps on singing? The last session I ran my group through, they had to cross a 5 mile space with groups of baddies at varying intervals. The bard wanted to be singing the whole time, consuming just one of his bardic music uses per day. My ruling was that a use is a...

The sage also ruled that hidden=invisible=no dex bonus=sneak attack-o-rama. -B-

Has anyone come across a source for some good possession rules? I am basically looking for a way to have the next Big Bad in my campaign be able to jump from PC to PC, as in the movie 'Fallen'. The closest thing that I have found would be the Ghost template in the MM, with its Malevolence...

Sounds like they need some new and improved IT people. Signed, An unemployed IT Guy

Starships of the Galaxy sets the damage of a single Blaster Cannon at 4d10x2. If you have two fire-linked you fire them both at the same time at the same target, with one to-hit roll. If you hit, you do one die more of damage, or 5d10x2. I can only assume that the stats for the base Firespray...

Hello, I've seen a few people referring to doubly extending, or triply empowering spells. Seems kind of munchkin to me. Is there an entry in any of the rule books that states explicitly that you are able to do this, or is it an interpretation? Thanks! -B-

I think the old method from the OCR was more like the films. If you dropped to 0 wounds you were unconscious, and had to fail a fort save dc10 to die. You then had to make a new check every hour at increasing difficulty until stabilized. Generally pretty easy to make for mid level characters...

Situation: Animal Companion (Colin, the Irish Wolfhound), is trained to enter melee, flank, fight defensively and Aid Another (me). Big bad this evening had DR. Does that prevent Colin from doing an Aid attack? Inquiring minds... -B-

And how am I ever supposed to make Paragon player level if I keep judging all the time? Hmm? I think this is a plot by Piratecat to keep me down...

Wow, BD. Just let me know when you are running a convention and I will be there! Unfortunately, I think you would find your idealistic world view shattered by the crushing logistical realities. No doubt that an individual game at a convention is hit or miss when it comes to GM, adventure and...

Heya, I was curious as to whether anyone (outside the "Head of Vecna" party) has tried running two groups within the same world, but on opposing sides, or at least rivals. I was thinking of running Spycraft, but rather than run my usual group of six, I thought it might be fun to split them and...

Assuming you want Episode IV stats: Obi-Wan (15th level) Str14, Dex15, Con13, Int14, Wis15, Cha14 Luke (2nd Level) Str15, Dex16, Con13, Int14, Wis12, Cha12

I have only given Shadowforce Archer a moderate skim, but my conclusion is that it's "feel" is close, but not really what I'd be looking for in my Spycraft game. First of all, it bases its premise on the existence of a benevolent conspiracy to protect the world from itself. This conspiracy has...

Not sure why you are so negative towards the folks who take the time to share their creations for free up on the web. I'd like to express my appreciation for them, since I know how much time it takes to write up all of that stuff and post it, just to have other people trash it. I actually find...
