    E-Tools: What can it do?

    There are several threads over at the CMP forums about how different users have implemented racial substitution levels. The existing code for eTools does not support racial substitution levels by default but several people have found work arounds.

    Warlock and Detect Magic

    Detect Magic has a concentration up to 1min/level time limit. I'm playing a warlock with that ability and we rule that the invocation is as the spell. So after a few minutes or broken concentration I have to use another standard action to "reactive" my detect magic.

    Slow PC!

    Also, make sure you have enough hard drive space to support your virtual memory settings. If you have plenty of hard drive space try setting you virtual memory higher. Your pathing statements as well. If you have a lot of destinations in your pathing statements that can slow down your system...

    E-Tools: What can it do?

    I personally find it invaluable. I use it as a PC, I use it as a DM, I use it for gaming prep. Depends on what you mean by flexible. I've managed to finagle warlocks and racial substitution levels to work by manipulating the database and using ETHelper. But I've also created a cold iron, +2...

    Programs to organize campaigns

    Well, I thought I'd throw in my 2 cents. I've been using One Note for a few months now, primariy because it came with my new laptop preinstalled. It was nice, helped out quite a bit but there was also more than a handful of nitpicks I had using it. I saw this thread and checked out a handful...

    To Firewall or not to Firewall

    Somewhat true. Depending on your network configuration, a NAT router can be a very cost-effective, inexpensive and reliable addition to your computer's security. At US$40 to $70, they can be worth getting even if you only have one computer. In their default configuration, common NAT routers do...

    Looking for a good CRPG.

    I've played most of the DND based RPG's out there, Morrowind, Daggerfall, Arena, all the Baldur's Gate and Icewind Dale, Neverwinter Nights + add-ons + downloadable modules, Temple of Elemental Evil, Pool of Radiance, many of the old Gold Box games and still to this day my favorite is...

    To Firewall or not to Firewall

    I also am an advocate of hardware based firewalls. A router is not a firewall. A router can provide some certain restriction with the use of access lists. I personally have Adaware full version, The complete Norton security suite, use the Windows software firewall and have a Cisco 501...

    Feats a Warlock should take?

    Ah, good point. I forgot the Warlock restriction. When I took the feat I was focused on the Feat restrictions. My DM missed that as well. Oops. Thanks for pointing that out to me. Good thing I haven't scribed any scrolls yet. :) My group decided to House Rule to restrict the Vow of...

    Editable Character Sheets (preferably HTML)

    I have a basic Microsoft Word Form based Character sheet that is 100% editable and doesn't do any calc's for you. You can get it from rpgsheets.com, just do a search under Dungeons & Dragons: 3rd Edition for "DnD 3.5 Character" and it should be the first one on the list.

    Feats a Warlock should take?

    Well, As to feats here is what I've done. I started as a human and so I have an additional feat. I took 2 Flaws, 1 from Unearthed Arcana and 1 from Dragon Magazine; NonCombatant and Curious. The 2 Flaws provide me with 2 Feats. So I started the game with 4 feats. I am currently 6th level...

    What Adventures Focus on Yuan-Ti?

    There was a 2nd ed module published by TSR for 20th level characters that featured yuan-ti. It was called "The Labrynth of Madness". That was tough.

    Knights of the Silver Dragon

    My daughter and I have read the first 3 so far. In reading each book, my daughter has asked me questions like "What's an owlbear?" "What's an orc? What's a goblin? What's a doppleganger? Half-Orc?" etc etc etc. I've pulled down my monster manuals, PHB and WotC minis and we've gone through...

    Do you color your hair?

    Hair? I figure why bother to spend the money coloring it when I'm loosing it now. :) What's the point. I keep telling my wife I'm going to dye it bald.
