    New Feat Notion

    Uh, shouldn't this be labelled "Normal:", as you can already do that.

    MM Classed Monsters Disconnect

    It is my understanding that (at least in the core books) the term "levels" are never used to refer to Hit Dice. The reverse, using Hit Dice to refer to levels, is used however. So, a 3rd-level Azer would have 3 actual levels in classes, either PC classes, NPC classes or Prestiege Classes. So...

    Rebalancing the Summon Monster spells

    The most annoying thing, in my mind, about the summon monster spells is that they take 1 full round to cast, but you have to choose where they're going to appear at the time you start casting. This makes it really frustrating when trying to drop creatures into flanking positions, because...

    good rings?

    Yeah, I think you missed the "dm fiat" part of the magic item rules :)

    Mac OS 3e aids?

    PCGen (http://pcgen.sf.net) ought to work on a mac, you need Java though.

    Looking for players

    Hey, I'll be in the burbank area over summer vacation (June 25 to end of August). How many people are you looking for; I might be able to round up two more. You can drop me a line at ventifus (at) flying-snail.net.

    Do you like computer generated illustrations in d20 products?

    There are three things working against 3d CGI: One, most importantly, 3d graphics are only just now becoming even capable of looking realistic. Counterpoint to that, the Realist movement is more than a century dead, so it has seniority, weight and gravity to it; people are used to it in paint...

    PDF of the srd......and work involved

    You can definitely have internal hyperlinks in a pdf. I've seen many a index/table of contents do this. It's quite handy. It's straigtforward to use them in Pagemaker,but Quark dosn't do hyperlinks as far as I know. I think a (slightly) prettified, annotated, cross-referenced and perhaps...

    Do you like computer generated illustrations in d20 products?

    It depends on what you call "computer generated". If you mean 3d renderings, then it'd have to be *extraordinary* for me to like it. Things like the Final Fantasy movie just don't cut it. That said, if it is less photo-realistic then I'm more willing to see computer stuff. I've almost...

    San Francisco (City): Players or Group

    I'm looking for either an existing group to join or a couple of people to start one. So, if you've got a group that needs one, two or maybe three more players, or want to form a new one, let me know. East bay or south bay is out of the question: I'm carless in the City, but my apartment in Park...

    Would you purchase "WWF" D20???

    I dunno about a game about the World Wildlife Fund. I'm not too keen on political games. That said, a game where everyone is a PETA commando might be fun (I'd think it'd be similar to Delta Green).

    How much subdual can YOU do ?

    Subdual substitution + Meteor Swarm = 24d6 subdual, no save :)

    Elemental/Para-elemental Forms

    The Shaper definitely can because it can assume any form with the "elemental" type, which includes things like Thoqquas. By-the-book, a normal druid cannot, because the wild shape description specifically enumerates the elemental types: air, earth, fire and water. However I think the...

    A plea for the Chold Hold and Earth's Embrace feats...

    While posting the full text of those feats would technically be in violation of copyright law, I can present you those feats, reworded. I can assure you that my rewordings are fully equivalent with the originals. Choke Hold [general] Prerequisites: Improved Unarmed Strike, Improved Grapple...

    What's the most USELESS Wizard Spell?

    My vote goes for Foresight. Now, 9th level spells are supposed to be powerful, right? Foresight gives you +2 to AC and +2 to Reflex saves, for 10 minutes/level. It might be more effective to Wish for Magic Vestment or something
