    Core Books [3.5] - Background Lines

    Lines Good!! I loved the lines. Made it easier on the eyes IMHO. It never seemed to obscure the text to me (unlike the chapter page art that is almost impossible to read through without eye strain).

    [Poll]: Do you use minis?

    We use one too. I found it an an office depot, I think. As far as minis go, I never used them once in twenty years of off-and-on gaming, but now I have used them ever since I started playing 3e because the group I joined has always used them. Of course, these are the same guys who taught me how...

    Monk Revisions

    evilbob: Alright already with the paladin! Yes, they also need to have too many high stats to be effective! You win, they suck too. :) Let's start another thread for them. ;)

    Monk Revisions

    Actually, the rogue is the always-on stealth-master and we shouldn't step on his toes either.;) Seriously, you raise a valid point about expectations. But, I don't think the fighter has to be the hands-down best in melee. On the contrary, I think that what sets the fighter aside in 3e is the...

    Monk Revisions

    As far as whether the monk will be boosted or nerfed, I hope its more like a boost. They need more flexibility, too. Not every monk should have the same abilities. If they are really going to be able to compete with magic weapons and armor, then maybe they should use the same system. For...

    Monk Revisions

    As I typed this I see that I am repeating what has already been said, but I'll post it anyway. I love playing a monk, but I always do so knowing that I will not be great in combat. Evilbob: Obviously we have very different ideas of what constitutes mid-level, but I think most of this holds true...

    [Dragon] What would you do?

    Oh yeah, and page 3 elves ;) BTW, I'm one of the few other Americans who get that joke :)

    [Dragon] What would you do?

    Yes to all of the above! Also: ditch Forgotten Realms material. Wait! Nobody start angrily typing yet! First, I admit that I do not use FR. The setting is too detailed for my tastes, and as I have seen others post it feels like playing in someone else's game. That said, there are more compelling...

    Multiple Profession = More Wealth Bonuses?

    How about this: You can make a DC10 "aid another" check with one profession to add +2 to the check with the other profession. After all, no matter how good you are at your profession(s) there is only so much time in the day. A second job enhances your income but it rarely doubles it.

    Flying over the battlemat

    Hmmm... I never used an actual battlemat. Can you wipe off dry-erase markers on them? We actually use a dry-erase presentation board from an office supply store. I found one with a one inch grid already on it. It's about 3 feet by 4 feet and covers most of the gaming table. We write the altitude...

    your favorite word for "command"

    Unfortunately, command cannot be made persistent. Persistent can only be applied to spells that "have a personal or fixed range". The examples given are comprehend languages (Range: personal) and detect magic (Range: 60 ft). Command has a range entry of Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels). This is...

    Help with a Spring Attacking PrC!

    I didn't have epic level handbook when I wrote the attack on the run ability. Of course you don't get it until 6th level and even then only once per day. If problems are still forseen, you could maybe weaken it a little by having it cause some fatigue or some subdual damage or something...

    Just gunna get me a dri- AAAH!

    Two or more non-volatile components are mixed together in the bottle. Only after they have had a set amount of time to complete their alchemical reactions to one another does the mixture take on its special qualities. By then, the bottle has been sealed. Hopefully ;) Or maybe the mixture is...

    Starting equipment value

    The entries on the chart in question are NOT cummulative, if that's what you are asking. A 20th level character has 760,000gp worth of equipment. The epic level handbook has a similar chart for character levels beyond 20. It is on page 23. The chart on page 122 is for determining the treasure...

    Bardic Music Timing?

    I have to agree with WizarDru. Based on the material he quotes and my own reading, I must go with #1. Standard action to start, but can perform other tasks while continuing (with the listed exceptions of course). As far as clearing up things in 3.5 goes, hopefully they will take the approach...

    Help with a Spring Attacking PrC!

    My first attempt at designing a prestige class was a fighter-type based on speed and mobility. The class had an ability called Attack on the Run that allowed the PC to take a full attack action while moving up to his full base speed in a around. This idea was meant to be an extension of spring...

    Dex vs Armor...?

    And the introduction of the rapier helped make plate armor obsolete. It is another example of a light weapon designed to penetrate/bypass heavy armor. The basic idea behind this thread seems to be sound if you want more realism. But adding that level of realism also means that you are actually...

    Trading age for skill ranks?

    Another quick idea. What about creating background packages similar to the occupation packages used in d20 Modern? Tuerny had some good occupation packages for using d20 Modern for a low-magic fantasy world in this thread: http://enworld.cyberstreet.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=36685 They...
