    Armor Design System (long, comments sought)

    I've made the script. I've tested it in IE 5 and Netscape 6.2.3, but probably it should work on every decent browser I've not done the spell failure because I hadn't got time. I'll fix it later, maybe To use it simply rename it to .html instead of .txt and open it in any browser

    Armor Design System (long, comments sought)

    Sounds interesting, even if probably is a bit long to use. Maybe I'll make a javascript to manage all the calculation. It seems to handle well all the kinds of armor used in the PHB I think I'll use it in my campaing world to design unusual armor.

    [to be moved] Expert class variants

    Answering to some of the suggestions: About the max ranks I think that this should be correct because the expert is simply "more trained" than the others. This, for example, will allow to have synergy bonuses already at lvl 5 so that a simple NPC exp1 could be really skilled in his main...

    [to be moved] Expert class variants

    wrong board I posted the message on the wrong board. I wanted to post in House Rules (as it's obvious for the topic), but I clicked "new topic" in the wrong browser window. Can I move it to that board (or could some moderator do it) ? Sorry.

    [to be moved] Expert class variants

    I klnow that this topic has been discussed many times. Anyway ... I think the expert class could be much better that it is, so that it might be interesting also for PC or important NPC (and not only for merchants and sages and similar people). I tried first to raise the skill points to 8 (as...

    Infinitely Opening Locks and Bashing Doors

    I see nothing bad in the fact that every fighter can break down a door with an axe and a lot of time, making a lot of noise. I think that this is more realistic than the fact that after a few tries he cannot retry any more. Anyway i'll add that if you try to damage a strong object every hit...

    One step Orders

    About the true neutral followers of neutral gods. It's true that the the PHB states so. Anyway I think that, at least for some of these gods (namely: lorekeeper, trader, wanderer) a true neutral follower seems ok. maybe you can simply change the allineament of the god adding the notice "true...

    One step Orders

    It seems a nice idea. I'm also trying to have different clerical orders following the same god (because part of my world resembles much the middle ages, and so I want military orders of paladins but also clerics). Now about your gods: 1) there are too few evil gods, (you don't even have a LE...

    Can anyone recommend a free mapping program?

    For maps try AutoRealm. It's very nice, even if the UI is sometimes buggy. For dungeons, instead, Dungeon Crafter works well (at least v1.4)

    Need some help creating a magic item(artifact)

    In my campaign I made a distinction between elven steel and true mithrill, the former being an alloy of true mithrill, steel and silver. Objects in elven steel follow the rules for mithrill in the DMG, while true mithrill is much more powerfull (and much more expensive). True mithrill has no...

    Variant arrows for D20 (moved from the general forum)

    Really good ideas. I'll use them in my campaign. But there are a few things that I think are questionable: 1) shouldn't sheaf arrows have shorter range ? (if they have the same range and a +1 to damage with the only drawback of costing 5cp more everybody will use them instead of standard...

    Development of magic in my world ...

    I wanted to add some flavour in how magic was developed in my world and so I came up with this. Note that the last part (Raw magic) is still mostly to be done; I wrote something, but it is too incomplete even to post it. ----------------------- History of Magic in the world of Astarya 1)...

    Elves of my new world

    I'm working on a new world called Astarya. There is still much to do, but I've decided to post some parts of my work here hoping to get some suggestions. Quentalë Eldarion (History of Elves) 1) The Rising of the Elves The history of elven races is long, full of happiness and sorrow. Elves were...

    New magic item: Price ?

    [maybe this should go in the DM's stuff. I'm not sure] I need an advice for this magical item: Gauntlet of fire: Wonderous item A melee weapon held by this gauntlet gets the Flaming ability (does +1d6 fire damage on a successful hit) (unless the weapon already had this power) The main problem...

    Erbalism and healing ideas

    In the 2nd edition of D&D there was the superb Shaun Hately's guide of herbs for RPG that provided some rules for handling herbalism and the use of herbs for healing. I don't know if it has been ported to 3ed D&D; anyway I am interested in giving more importance to the herbalism-related skills...

    Giving fast movement to rangers ?

    I don't want to get in the long lasting discussion about how the ranger should be and how it might be rerwritten. I was only wandering if it would break balance giving to the ranger the "fast movement" ability (as for the Barbarian, but only when wearing light armour), maybe at 2nd or 3rd...

    Regional weapon prof. ?

    Some ideas on Weapon Proficiencies and regions: If we look at the list of exotic weapons we can find out that some of them are almost ordinary weapons, that simply require more training to use (Bastard sword, Dwarven waraxe, Spiked chain) and are exotic expecially for game balance reasons...

    Double crossbow

    I have this interesting crossbow variant idea. (I don't know if it's already in any book) Double crossbow Size: Medium; Type: Exotic ranged Price: 200 gp (the repeating one is 300, if I remember well) The double crossbow is, as the name suggests, a crossbow with two bows and two triggers, so...
