What difference should it make if modifiers are involved? If you only use the natural roll, putting ranks into knowledge skills is pretty much a waste (if I'm undrstanding how you do it). At any rate, what the player got in this case was a description. He got no value from his Knowledge roll...

Well, it seems to have been fixed overnight. Yea!!

I have set my UserCP preferences for Linear, and yet envery topic I enter appears as Threaded and I have to change it manually. Is it just me or is this a problem that must be ironed out as the new boards are "broken in"?

Overcome with pedantry, I went to the dictionary, as these are real words (as opposed to those made up for the game, the ones that really confuse people ) :) . The results were: Paladin = PAL-uh-din Wyvern = WHY-vern Chimera = kye-MERE-uh Lich = "ch" as in witch I had always used Wyvern as...

How Odd While Amazon.com shows it as Not Yet Released, Amazon.ca says it usually ships in 4 to 6 weeks. Luckily, my copy awaits at the F(if maddeningly uninformed)LGS.

Having not seen the preview yet, what about it leads you to think there is mass production of an industrial sort?

More Bizarre FLGS Tales My FLGS sells a wide range of geeky items, from amime/manga to RPGs, CCGs and various cold cast figures and bobble-head Osbournes, so I don't expect them all to be experts. Add to that the fact that the guy who know the most about RPG stuff has another job and only works...

And as soon as it can be folded and stuffed in my pocket while I sit on it without danger of becoming unusable., can be placed near a magnet or other strong EM source with impunity, and will run forever without power, then it will be good enough to replace a book. Till then, no thanks.

Thanks for that incredibly useless insight. Anyone else you'd care to insult today?

Forgotten Realms for my upcoming campaign. I will be using Zhakara and Maztica, and have placed Atlas' Nyambe to the south of Maztica. I also use Kara Tur, and steal bits from Rokugan for the east when needed. As the new campaign is pirate based (go Pirates of the Carribean!) I am adding Green...

So, has there been any news yet from WotC or Amigo?

Cut it some slack Its nice to see that reactionary dismissal of new ideas, months in advance and with little to no solid information, is not confined to Talkbacks on Ain't It Cool News. Yes, it could suck. Or, it could rock. Right now, we have no idea which it will do. If it comes out and yo...

How so? An overexuberant attempt to claim something as PI that probably dosen't fall into the enumerated PI categories (though the OGL lists are full of controversy on that point) but how a glaring legal error?

It seems fairly obvious that this is an effort to stop the use of "d20" in the titles of OGL-only products. I can understand why Wizards would want to do that, and by declaring "d20" to be PI, they can impose that restriction on products that don't use the d20STL. However, by a strict reading of...

Last Public Post on this topic Firstly, since we seem to be the only ones here, I will mail Mark directly with a more detailed message about this. However, to clarify for posterity here on this forum: Never said otherwise. I proposed this example to illustrate that Wizards could compel...

If you reread my original post, you will remember that I don't think WotC will do it, either. I don't think you're entirely correct here. The d20 liscence, through the Trademark Guide, already bars you from using some potential OGC. You cannot use character generation in d20 liscensed...

What I am trying (obviously not clearly enough) to say is that this could be seen, by those who are already looking to hate WoTC, as further evidence that Wizards is trying to force people to convert to 3.5. If all logoed material had to be 3.5 compatible, 3.0 compatible material would be harder...

Note that I said a "PR" disaster. Just what the conspiracy theorists would love, WoTC seen as trying to force people to switch by changing the d20 support to 3.5 only. Whether that would be good or bad is moot, the howls of those already ticked with 3.5 would become much louder if they thought...

For OGL-only items, it makes no difference what WoTC does with the SRDs. The 3.0 SRD was releaed under the OGL, so it's not like they can take it back or stop people from using it. They could take it off their site, but that would just mean you couldn't get it from them. I suppose they could...

Ahoy What a certain advcenture film running round my head, and having intended to try swashbuckling for the next campaign I run (sometime after September), I am looking for product recommendations. What I am looking for is good d20 material for running a pirate/privateer/swashbuckling...
