I'll make a list of all the kind of crossbows that will exist in my world. The basic crossbows are: Hand crossbow:[/B] exotic, tiny, damage 1d6, crit 19-20/x2, range 30ft, reload as move action Light crossbow:[/B] simple, small, damage 1d8, crit 19-20/x2, range 80ft, reload as move action Heavy...

I'm a GM and I don't allow PrC in my campagin (for many reasons that I don't want to discuss now). I have of course many organizations (such as arcane fellowships and paladin orders) whose members might gain some unique ability through rituals, but no PrC. I was considering to have instead the...

I've thinked another bit about the problem Probably I'd go for #2 in the case of antimagic, and for option #4 in the case of polimorph Also: suppose I want a dryad to go around, what should I do ? Can I animate the oak they are bond to (maybe through awaken and then poly any object him into a...

I know that many thing has been said about crossbows here; but I have only two simple questions: 1) If a light crossbow is small and does 1d8, and the heavy crossbow is medium and is basicly a upsized crossbow (that takes more time to reload due to it's size) why it does only1d10 ? I'll probably...

Looking in the MM I noticed that the Symbiosis is a supernatural ability. My question is: and what happens if a dryad gets into an antimagic shell or dead magic area ? 1) she can't; she disappears and reappears near the tree (like if she was simply an avatar of the tree spirit) 2) she suffers...

you can remove freely the XP penality: in SW d20 there isn't, and nobody cares about it. But I think that it wouldn't be enought. Another idea might be counting the levels in all the other classes except the highest one as if they were half. so a Ftr 4/Rgr 2 needs 5000 XP to level up and not...

Heavy crossbows are useful (and used) only in some specific circumstances: 1) sieges; one crossbowman at every arrowslit, another one behind reloads the weapon; and so you fire 1 shot/round, with a range good enough to reach the other army, and if you hit you dish out a good damage 2)...

The main reason for which I gave much more power to the aristocrat class is simply that I want (in my Middle Earth setting) use it as a PC class, while the warrior remains a NPC class. About the multiple Leadership feat actually I didn't look on the books, because I was thinking of some a post...

I gave the Aristocrat the full fighter BAB (+1/level); he still does not get all those feats, and so a decent BAB might balance it. I'm also considering: - free Leadership at lvl 6, 12, 18 ? - Landlord (from Stronghold builder guidebook) at lvl 10 (or when he has the prerequisites, if later)

ok, second try: attacking as a flaming club: -2 penality to hit (-4 if non proficent in clubs); 1d4 damage + 1 fire unless proficient, every round reflex DC 10 to avoid taking 1 fire damage (when you parry the burning coal might hit you) attacking at max flaming effectivity: -4 to attack...

I'm wondering if there are any rules for using a torch as a weapon (like Aragorn in LotR movie). I'll say that a torch can be: 1) wielded as a light mace with the following modifications: * -1 to damage (is lighter) * +1 point of fire damage * -1 to hit (is not well balanced) * every round...

I've made some courtier characters multiclassing between aristocrat and bard: the aristocrat has really good skills, and with a nice int bonus and maybe being human you can get really a lot of them (diplomacy +11 at lvl 2 with cha 14 !). I know that the Ari is a little underpowered (it's a NPC...

Hello everyone I don't know if there is a separate Middle Earth forum, and so I post this topic here. I am working to a Middle Earth conversion to D&D, using part of the material found on Middle Earth d20 site, and I'm a bit confused on combat sistems. The standard D&D combat system works...

I usually use AutoRealm for the maps. It tends to become sluggish when the map is big, but anway it has many of CC2 features and it's free.

If you want a little math: the average of an exploding dice with n faces is, as Jens said: avg = 0.5 * (n+1) n / (n-1) that is exactly 0.5 * (n+1)/(n-1) more than the standard dice And so the avgs : d2 = d3 = 3 d4 = 3.33 (normal d4 + 0.83) d6 = 4.20 (normal d6+0.70) d8 = 5.14 (... +0.64) d10 =...

Written like this it seems a bit too dangerous for a single 9th level sorceror (arcane casters tend to have very few hp: if a creature, maybe with SR, is lucky enough to survive to the spells and pass through the magical defenses, she can kill the sorceror in a few hits) Maybe change a little...

Maybe I'll take two different routes: 1) add Minor Holy (and all the other similar effects) to the weapon proprieties like suggested by Elder-Basilisk cost : +1 bonus effect: +1d6 damage against opposing allineament; the weapon is considered blessed (or similar) 2) Still have the "long...

Many evil outsiders take normal damage only from holy or blessed weapons. Now: the olnly way to have a holy or blessed weapon is, by core rules, to cast magic weapon, greater magic weapon, bless weapon or holy sword on the weapon, or to make it holy (at the cost of a +2). I wanted to add a...

If you want more responses probably you should give a bit more information. Anyway: 1) How does the ring work ? Triggered teleport or a planeshift ? 2) Do the players have to find a way to get back home ? And how ? 3) What precisely does the violet gem ? 4) What's the level of power of the PC...

Interesting. It might be very difficoult for the players to find the coins, I think. I don't know about the coins: are they easyly recognizable or they look like ordinary ones ? probably these coins will be detected when a suspicious wealthy merchant gets something to detect magic in his shop...
