    Rope Trick--someone please explain

    Try bringing a bag of holding into a rope trick. ;) -Eraslin

    Potions and Crazyness

    Black dragon? Who needs a black dragon when you have a wizard with a shatter spell prepared... Far more common. ;) The wizard that I play always has a shatter prepared; just too useful for knocking out swords, shields, and other such gear. If I ever came across a hostile individual who was...

    D&D 3E/3.5 [3.5] Is every Magic Change Downward?

    Re: Magic NEEDED to be reduced. Not intending to insult, but these sorts of arguements have always bugged me. Other than the obvious assumption that the mage must have been flying, and that the giant was too stupid to throw things at the mage (fireballs in the last round -- the giant hadn't...

    Nevermind. Found it :)

    Where in the rules does it say...

    ... that a prestige class does not count towards determining if your character has a multiclass xp penalty? Thanks, Eraslin

    Underpowered Spells

    I am actually playing a transmutation specialist in our game, and this spell has proven quite useful. I'll usually throw a shield up on myself, and cast the blur on the main tank (blur's range is touch). It's use is not as a self-buff, but as a buff for other members of the party; unfortunately...

    I need bad D&D jokes! (my players stay out)

    Epic spells and the Epic Caster (unfair balence of power?)

    I'm going to have to argue with you about this one -- you're comparing apples and oranges. Let's be fair here, if you're going to try to compare a 'naked' fighter to a wizard, then you'd best compare it to a 'naked' wizard. Spell components: If you have a naked wizard/sorc/cleric that caster...

    [WOT] Reference sheets?? (Game starting soon)

    Hi all, I'm starting a game in about an hour in which there will be 5 new players to WOT. We only have 1 book. Thus, does anyone know where I might be able to download (for printing) the equipment list, and/or a list of weaves, and/or a list of skills (with listing of what's class/cross-class...

    Looking for a character maintainance program...

    Thanks for all the responses. I'll definately give PCGen a try. It's nice that it was written for multiple platforms in mind... As for the excel file, thank you for the suggestion mike, but I neither use nor own MS-Office; I have no program to work with excel files at all. :p -Eraslin

    Looking for a character maintainance program...

    Thanks, I'll take a look at PCGen; but I suspect it won't be sufficient for what I'd like. The equipment management is actually the most important part to me. ;) Arguably, if anyone knows of a program that one can use to just do the equipment management I'd be quite happy. :) -Eraslin

    Looking for a character maintainance program...

    Hello all, Does anyone know of a good character maintainance program? The main features that I'm looking for are: - Automatic skill bonus calculation -- based on ranks, stat bonus, and an inputted misc modifier. - Equipment management in a tree sort of layout; I want to be able to keep track...

    How did the boards fare(being linked to by slashdot)?

    The main boards page claims that there are presently 490 concurrent users. Sounds like this new temp server is handling itself quite well...

    How did the boards fare(being linked to by slashdot)?

    It looks like our little corner of the world got linked to by slashdot.org. I wasn't around when the story first went up, so I don't know what it looked like. Did the boards slow right down? It seems that they're still up ;), which is a rather good sign. -Eraslin

    Suggestion for the next server test

    You might want to have the next server test on Tuesday instead of Monday. It's a long weekend here, and I suspect that very few people will be around on Monday to hammer it as good as it should be. -Eraslin

    Looking for a few good (er, I mean EVIL) Rat Bastards!

    Just a single example, for now. I have a couple more, but they're currently being run to fruition in the game I'm running; so there won't be any sharing of those ones. The players are currently running in a kingdom with a quite strict caste system. Any treasures found by one of the king's...

    HELP! DM/Player Issues

    Slightly off the topic... :D So, let me get this straight. You guys have a house rule which states that if a player suggests a tactic to the DM, then he can't use it? Were I in your position I'd be thinking up everything that the enemies could possibly be doing to the characters, which is...

    Polymorph Other on yourself??

    Re: to get back to the original question... Actually, the target field of Polymorph Other reads "One creature" (T&B, pg94). Also, other than the name of the spell, there is no where in the spell description which states that it must be targetted on another creature. So, whether you can target...
