My Opinion Looking at it from a business perspective (i.e. I will join the ranks of the backseat drivers in this thread), I would say they are merely attempting to get this dawg to hunt where everyone else has failed. Instead of allowing profitable divisions to support unprofitable ones, and...

In my tabletop game, we rule that a potion must direct affect the drinker for it to work. You suddenly have enhanced/magical abilities. I thought I read this somewhere, but cannot find where. Is there a printed word from Wizards that says what you can and cannot make potions of? Jones

Perhaps the part about this becoming more disturbing was a bit of hyperbole, but the rest was not. It is apparent that I am in the minority, at least in this thread. I simply believe that, on the face of it, this site is a success because of fans. I believe that the Creature Catalogue...

This is what I have been saying since the start of this thread. I have been under the impression that this was a Fan-Driven site. Is this not true? Is this instead simply a culling ground for publishers to grab and make a profit off of (and, that is exactly what is happening from my viewpoint...

Thanks dude. That's what I wanted to know. Actually, that's how I would deal with it anyway. I just wanted to know if the Core Rules said differently. Thanks a ton!

Are their any races that start you out with a BAB bonus or base HP's? I have always assumed that an Ogre would start out with a couple of bonus HD and perhaps a BAB +1. Is this out of line? Are all PC's supposed to start with BAB +0 and Hp 0? thanks for your time, Jones

Well, I do want to make it clear that I was not belittling Necromancer Games in the comments above. Although I have never seen their balance sheet or thier income statement, I am sure that they are a serious player in the d20 arena. My comments were aimed at the suggestiion above that 'big...

I have visited this site before, but not nearly with the regularity that I have recently. I was under the impression that the Creature Catalogue was mainly a Conversion manual. Something to save fans time, nothing more. That's the only thing I ever used it for (to get 3e stats for 1e and 2e...

Actually, I do not see it this way. (Or, the more appropriate way of saying this would be, 'In my campaign world, I interpret the rules differently.' =) Spellcasters hurl magic by opening portals to a dimension of magic, letting bits of 'pure' magic out and then focusing it into a spell...

You rock, Jamis. Please ignore my query by email. I knew therre had to be an easy way=) thanks a bunch, Jones

With regard to a creature with two heads polymorfin'... Hmmm.....again, this is new ground for me. It woud depend on the outcome of this discussion for me. If I went with the line of thought that each head is but a different part of the whole, I would say no. A two headed spellcaster would...

I was thinking along these lines too. First, I was thinking about rolling a random personality and put it in there. Either let the Player play it or let one of his comrades at the table play it (for the Type B of the Pair). Then, I was thinking that I could just let one head be dead or Dumb...

No, I'm talking about something with two separate minds. So, if an Ettin does not have two separate minds in your games, then I would not be talking about an Ettin. I am wondering about turning into what we classify as a SINGLE creature but has more then one mind. If you classify an Ettin as...

What the heck do you do when a pc tries to poly into something with two heads? How could two thinking brains come from one? Or, does it work another way? Thanks! Jones

Cool. I got ya. There are a bunch of .bsk files in the DAT folder. I can check them out with a Text Editor. But, I am still in a bit of a bind. Let's say I do a random treasure and it comes up with Magic Item A. Is there a quick and easy way for me to locate Magic Item A or do you have to...

Thanks. But, I cannot find the text files. Could you please point me to them? I simply need to know what book some of these spells and/or magic items are coming from so that I can look 'em up.

Greetings all, I have a few questions regarding the treasure generator on Jamis Buck's site and was hoping someone might be able to aid me. For one, what are the distinctions that are made by each scroll. For example, I just generated the following scrolls: arcane (150 gp)...

Ok, then it obviously must at least be a 6. I think I shall start it there and keep and be prepared to move it to 7 if I have to. I really appreciate all the help and advice. Thanks, Jones

So, you think CR 6 is about right? It seems pretty high, but I suppose its ability to attack twice and the ranged tongue attack could present a problem.

Greetings d20 enthusiasts! What do you think is the difference between Bardic Lore and Knowledge (History)? What are the different times when one would be used over the other? For that matter, when would having 5 ranks in any specific Knowledge be better then having 10 ranks in Bardic Lore...
