Say the following happens 1) a character is affected by a power that has an aftereffect, eg the Beholder's Death Beam (refer to diagram below) 2) an ally grants the player an extra save, eg a cleric ally uses Divine Aid or Sacred Flame 3) the character fails the save I assume the aftereffect...

You could try HeroScape. I played DDM, it was fun for a while... but IMHO was a bit too CCGlike in exception based complexity. I find HeroScape to be much more stremlined. Also the lego-like terrain rocks. You could use a lot of DDM figures as heroscape figures, though large and huge figures...

I have used Lotus Notes for storing campaign material, but this is a rather large expensive package (though our nice organisation has organised home use liscences for employees). It is also a bit of work to design databases (though there are templates for journals etc). I made forms for races...

Observing that power cards are moderately popular with some sections of the 4e crowd and seeing images of character sheets surrounded by said power cards I wondered "why not have your character sheet on cards?". So I gave it a shot. You can open this file in any browser and print out to make a...

There are dice rollers out there, but lots of them need you to type numbers in boxes. This is OK for computers with keyboards, but tapping is much more user friendly when using a stylus. So, I made this little HTML Javascript number. I actually started with the dice roller on the wizards site...

Hexes for exterior settings or freeform caverns. Squares for interiors.

Yes That is true. But Editing the assignments at the top of the HTML is better than hunting through all the code to find numbers. You can have the code open in an editor while you display the it with a browser. Things dont change too much between leveling (except for gold, current hp...

My turn: 3e: WGR 7th edition 4e: DBA (or Hordes of the Things) 3e: chess (or cricket) 4e: kubb 3e: C++ 4e: Pascal

I should have heeded the JavaScript suggestion. My PDA actually does handle JS and while does have some support for VBscript it is really limited... eg loops do not work. Also VBscript only works with microsoft explorer? The character sheet is coming along fine now, I can use assignment...

Thanks for those comments. In 3e, I used to think Int was the most important Rogue ability (for Search/DisableDevice and multiclassing as wizard) even over Dex. Now in 4e Perception is Wisdom based, it would seem other classes might be better at finding traps. It is good that going for high...

It's great everyone has a defined combat role. It's cool that you now can live without a cleric. But outside of a combat, you really need someone to find and remove traps. It is interesting that the non-rogue strikers have Perception (Ranger) and Thievery (Warlock) making them half a burglar...

Thanks, I think you have put me on the right path with scripting. Not sure if PDA browsers support Javascript, but Mobile Internet Explorer supports VB script. I have tried a few things and it looks good, makes the HTML more maintainable by putting repetive lines of HTML in a VBScript loop...

I had a go at making a PDF PC character sheet viewable on the PDA, but it was rather unsatisfactory. Also, it would be inconvient to update as the original was drafted on a desktop in OpenOffice Writer and then exported to pdf. With HTML, the sheet could have minor updates done on the PDA...

The Warrior of the Wild feat states: Once per encounter, you can use the ranger’s Hunter’s Quarry class feature. Does this mean: 1) You can designate one target per encounter and then once each round you can deal the extra damage to the target (until the end of the encounter or until the...

I is in ur board double-posting, sorry

Not quite that big as each square in a Wall can only share sides with no more than two sides (PHB 271). But you could do something like below. This is 240 squares. BYO Minotaur. +++++++++++++++++++++ ....................+ +++++++++++++++++++.+ +.................+.+ +.+++++++++++++++.+.+...

Gamist Perspective I always thought the regular 3x3 (or n by n) close blast was simplified cone in the the way the burst-n was a simplified sphere. StoryTellingist Perspective You could describe a close blast being conical, but apply the game effects to the regulation square. Simulationist...

The cleric have to wait 5 minutes after using an encounter power before using it again, so he couldn't use it every round

I've made a trial hyperlinked chapter of some rpg material formatted for the PPC. OpenOffice Writer makes making hyperlinked PDFs a breeze. But Acrobat seems slow onthe Pocket PC (Axim X5 400MHz, 64MB RAM), maybe I'll try some HTML and see how it goes in a Web Browser (although I only have IE...
