    Tracking triggers

    I use Combat Manager on my laptop when I GM, so I have a good handle on initiative, hp and conditions. What constantly seems to cause me problems are triggered events, such as auras and reactive abilities. Does anyone have any ideas for a good reminder system so that I stop forgetting these...

    Advice for recording an actual play podcast?

    Don't put the mic on the table where it picks up every little bump or tap on the table. Ask the players to stop playing with their dice for the entire game. I have started listening to some podcasts where you can barely hear anything other than someone drumming their fingers next to the mic and...

    Can Consecrated Ground be moved away from the cleric?

    I have some fellow players who are telling me that consecrated ground cannot be moved further from the cleric that the close range of the burst. To me, the text is clear that the intent is to allow it to be moved around on the battlefield. I think that the key phrase is "can move the origin...

    Thank you, that is certainly clear. It's amazing how many times I read right over that and it never sunk into my brain.

    Death saving throw count

    When does the death saving throw count reset? For example, someone is dying and fails 2 saves before being raised back to positive hp. Later in the encounter, they are dropped back to negative and fail another save. Are they dead or have they only failed one save? I was playing in a group that...

    Monster Worksheet question

    1) Sounds like a bug to me. I will look into it. 2) Probably not. There are so many possible ways to combine attacks that it would require a full blown program with many buttons and switches and knobs. This is just a quick and dirty spreadsheet to get the numbers done. 3) Doubtful again...

    Monster Worksheet question

    I wrote an Excel spreadsheet that does monster calculations for 3.5. It is in the library as 3.5 monster editor. It will create a std monster output and a statblock. They will still require some editing after they are copied and pasted to another editor. It is mostly designed to get the math...
