By this, do you mean that eventually the attacks would be +11/+6/+1 (sword) +1 (2 hooves)? Thanks for the help!

Forgot about that. Thank you! That makes sense to me. I was looking for a literal spelling-out of how to handle this in the rules, but failed to find anything.

Help me understand how to run a centaur as pc. I'm trying to figure this out based on DMG pages 22-24 and the introduction to the MM. Some questions: If the centaur in the MM has a STR 18 and a BAB of 4 (equal to HD (MM page 13)) why is its greatclub attack only +7, and not +8? When a...

I have a party that is adventuring in the woods for the first time since acquiring the fireball spell. Are there guidelines suggesting how to handle brush and trees that catch fire as a result of a fireball (or as a result of anything, for that matter)? I have thoughts about possible...

Granted. I'm just saying that I think that the 'finesse level' of Prestidigitation (now there's a word to slow you down when you're typing!) seems to be pretty crude in general. Cartography and Penmanship require more than Prest would allow. That's my campaign anyway. Yours may vary.

What about a cross-bow? How does one adjudicate cubic feet anyway? Cross-bow = 2? Is there a reference/guideline/formula somewhere, or do dms just wing it as usual?

PHB 238 "Prestidigitation can create small objects, but they look crude and artificial." I don't think you'd get legible results, neither textually nor cartographically. Played the game tonight, and ended up allowing a Craft (cartography) check DC 15 to copy a map in one day. The player copied...

Can anybody help me think of a spell that could be used to copy information between scrolls, parchments, and books? I'm not talking about moving spells between scrolls or anything abusive; I am thinking more like being able to copy maps and text quickly. If there isn't anything that is...

The latest version does html output, which prints rather well. Now that I use DMGenie to run combats, I can't imagine not using it.

I have been using DMGenie for a while now. It handles both short term and long term time tracking. You can check out a 60-day demo at www.dmgenie.com.

Thanks Crothian. I'll go along with that. The natural armor bonus of the mount is pretty weak without it...

Is this a special case? Natural armor doesn't stack, unless there's some fine print somewhere that I missed along the way.

PHB page 43, The Paladin's Mount. First paragraph says "The standard mount for a Medium-size paladin is a warhorse..." Below that, under "Natural Armor", it says : "The number listed here is an improvement to the mount's AC. It represents the preternatural toughness of a paladin's mount."...

Do you honestly think that somebody struggling with Outlook's interface is going to be able to take advantage of command line interactions with a telnet server? It would be educational, of course, but probably not going to happen.

Based on a post here from a few weeks back, I looked into DMGenie, and I am very impressed. It's not as strong as eTools in the character creation department, but it's improving. There are regular releases, and the developer actually communicates with the users, which is refreshing after...

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Facing in d20? I get it. Do you allow both rear and side flanking to enable rogue sneak attack? One thing that would probably be too fine-grained for d20 combat but is a tactical reality with facing rules I have used in the past would be the impact of which side was...

Re: Re: Re: Re: Facing in d20? So are you stacking the facing bonuses with flanking bonuses? In other words, if you had two figs on either side of a target, with the target directly facing one fig, would the fig attacking from behind get +6 (+4 from rear, +2 flank)? It would seem that the...

Re: Re: Facing in d20? Thanks for sharing Hollywood. Have you put the system into use in a game yet? If so, what kind of 'problems' did you encounter?

Has anybody come up with house fules allowing for the facing of figures to have game significance? I used to play Gurps, and I sort of miss it. Facing, that is; tho I do miss things from Gurps from time to time (disadvantages and probability curves come to mind.) Dang.... I'm hijacking my own...

The Commodore Vic20 was my first personal computer, and the one that I took my baby steps as a programmer on.
