We use a square grid, but use a ruler for diagonal movement and drop the mini in the closest square to the endpoint. It goes pretty fast and fairly simple.

Experts from Skirmisher Publishing has some really good ideas for customizing the expert. I picked it up a couple of weeks ago and it looks really good. It's available through Skirmisher's website (www.skirmisher.com) or amazon.com. There's a review for it at...

Actually, as described, shouldn't it cost 3600? I'm doing this from memory, but it seems like it should be spell level (1) * 2000 * (no slot) 2 * (command word) 0.9 = 3600 gp. Did I miss something?

Ink & Quill Bastion Press 65 page PDF (No front cover in the version I have, 1 page ToC, 1 page OGL) FREE I downloaded Ink & Quill mostly out of curiosity. I was looking into some scholarly options for a character when I ran across it, and thought I'd give it a try. I really should have done...

Seas of Blood: Fantasy on the High Seas Mongoose Publishing ISBN 1-903980-08-9 128 pages (art on inside covers, 2 pages copyright/TOC/OGL, 2 pages index) $19.95 I read a lot of reviews when trying to decide which seafaring book to buy. My FLGS didn't have any of them, nor did any of my...

WARNING: This review contains spoilers. The Heart of Glass Troll Lord Games ISBN 1-931275-14-9 80 pages (Blank inside covers, 2 pages Copyright/ToC/OGL, 1 page ad) $16.95 I must begin by saying that I really wanted to like this book. The little bit that I had seen about it seemed interesting...

Re: Re: Ack :rolleyes: I was thinking more along the lines of "bonus squared x 20(0)gp." <shrug> Whatever. Just out of curiosity, are you going to Rule 0 the change for bonuses greater than +30?

Ack Sorry. I didn't realize that they'de changed the pricing progression from what's in the DMG. I figured that kreynolds accidentally added an extra 0 when calculating it out, and was pointing out the "mistake." My bad.

From the SRD: Magic items, unless otherwise noted, take damage as normal items of the same type. A damaged magic item continues to function, but if it is destroyed, all its magical power is lost. Granted, you're not talking about permanent magical items, but I'd argue that the same general...

Re: Re: How do i meet those high spellcraft DC's ? Check your math--you're off by a factor of 10 on your +31. A Ring of Spellcraft +31 would be 19,220 (31^2 * 20). Your +60 and +90 are also off by a factor of 10.

Back in the days of 2nd Edition I decided to run a campaign that was a little more exotic, centered around a trans-world gateway. The PC's were mostly monstrous, which wasn't a big deal in terms of the campaign (there were lots of monstrous NPC's in the gateway city), but it proved to be a...

From the SRD: Activation If a weapon has a special ability that the user needs to activate, then the user usually needs to utter the command word (a standard action). Flaming Upon command, a flaming weapon is sheathed in fire.

That'd be great, except the target for Endure/Resist Elements is creature touched. Now if you had a living scabbard...

Actually, the Summon Monster spells scale with level, too, because they last 1 round/level. A fiendish hawk that sticks around for ten rounds is much more useful than one that disappears after one. Also, someone else mentioned that the * image chain of spells is useless. How so? My PC is is...

Our group uses a program called BattleManager that I wrote. It tracks hit points, AC (normal, touch, and flat-footed), initiative and timed effects. We run it on my laptop and plug it into a TV so everyone can see whose turn it is and the general status of their character. We also use...

I just looked at it briefly, but my initial impression is that it's well done. Tell your friend he did a good job.

I wrote a program that does that tracks initiative, AC, hit points, and duration effects. You can save the information, too. My group runs it on my laptop and sets up a TV as a second monitor so everyone can see it. I have absolutely no documentation for it, though, since I wrote it primarily...

Campaign Calendar by Bruce Gulke is what my group uses. It keeps track of dates, holidays, and weather. Unfortunately, he no longer supports it, since he prefers the Tablesmith version. (Personally, I think Campaign Calendar was better suited to our groups needs, but that's just me.) He does...

I think I'd change Dim Vision to 1 hour/level. I really don't see the point of Page. Conversation is great! It's well balanced, and it's darn cool. It's good to see a useful, non-combat, high-level illusion spell. Good work!

Perhaps making it 1 + Int bonus similar martial weapons would be a good compromise. Just leave the matter of what is or is not similar up do the DM. So with a +3 bonus you could get short sword, long sword, scimitar and (depending on the DM) bastard sword (2h), rapier or nothing at all...
