    Dual Wielding Wackiness

    Yeah, this is true. I'm just hoping for some inspiration, though. Honestly, I think TWP is just silly (there's a reason why there's no historical precedent), but what kind of DM would I be if I didn't give my players what they wanted :D

    Dual Wielding Wackiness

    I'm going to make a prestige class that focuses on using two weapons... the problem is the name. I need a humdrum ho hum name for a guy that uses two weapons. Something that's on par with such exciting titles as knight, acrobat, archer, and cavalier. Anyone got any bright ideas?

    Need input for a spell idea

    I'd say 2nd level for sor/wiz, and bard. For Travel... eh, I think it'd be more of a matter of preference, depending on how you mutated the rest of the list, but I'd prolly still stick with second level. Reasoning: What wizzie in his right mind is gonna choose this over fireball or fly? Maybe...

    Do Spell-Like Abilities Provoke AoO's?

    Thanks. Suspicion confirmed :D

    Do Spell-Like Abilities Provoke AoO's?

    That's the question.... under Spell-Like Abilities in the PHB, it says that they work just like spells.... and under Supernatural Abilities, it says that supernatural abilities can't be disrupted in combat, but it doesn't say that about spell-like abilities... I suppose I know the answer to my...

    Critter Bits and Magic Recipes!

    I'm surprised nobody popped open the 1e DMG. On page 116-117, it has a list of ingredients requried for potions. Animal Contol - Organ or gland from representative type or types to be controlled Clairaudience - Human or simian thalamus gland or ear from an animal with keen hearing Clairvoyance...

    D&D 3.x 1e/3e Style Experience Calculator

    Coredump - I can see we have a difference of opinions here: You think it's too much work, I don't. Neither of us is going to persuade the other, so I suggest we just leave it at that :) I do appreciate your input though. In fact, I probably would have forgotten to increase the XP required/level...

    a new skill and feats, pls critique them, and also I need a feat

    Body Building - For one, I like it, but I'd suggest a couple changes. For one thing, I'd make it a class skill for a couple classes, like fighters, barbarians, and maybe paladins and rangers. Fighters, especially, don't have much that's very useful to spend skill points on, so every fighter is...

    D&D 3.x 1e/3e Style Experience Calculator

    Yeah, I understand that the XP required to go up would have to increase, but I don't think that's that huge of a change... a few (20, to be exact) numbers in the PHB seems like a small houserule compared to what many people add/change/remove in their home games :) And I really don't see why...

    D&D 3.x 1e/3e Style Experience Calculator

    Hmm, I read through that (with much glaring at the header font), but it's not quite what I'm looking for because, well, it seems to be a lot more complicated than what I'm looking for, and it's not as accurate as what I'd like. And from DonAdam's comment... ...I'm thinking that I should explain...

    D&D 3.x 1e/3e Style Experience Calculator

    Like many, the wackyness of CR's bug me. But instead of whining :D , I've decided to come up with a 1st edition-style experience point table. For those who aren't familiar, the 1E way of calculating XP was based on exactly what the creature could do. As converted for 3E, it would include...

    1e/3e Experience Calculator?

    Well, I probably will just because it'd be easier... the experience calculator would be a complex thing, so it'd be easiest to base the XP level requirements around what creatures come up giving. Still, I could just try and work it into the existing system. It'd be a little more difficult to...

    different take on elves (or, should i say, fae)?

    Keeping in mind that this was for a heavily house-ruled campaign... Elf Fey (Elf) Ability Modifiers: +4 Dex, +2 Wis, +2 Cha, -2 Str, -2 Con Skills: +4 Listen, +2 Animal Empathy, +2 Hide, +2 Move Silently, +2 Wilderness Lore (In that campaign, all races that get bonuses to skills get those...

    class ability subsitutions (the familiar)

    Besides being a decent scout, familiars are basically Alertness feats on four legs. Sure, they carry the drawback of harming the caster if they die, but that's only likely to come up if the familiar is scouting... so those two points seem to cancel each other out. That leaves familiars being...

    Monster Special Attack DCs

    How do I figure the DC of a creature's Sp, Ex, and Su abilities? Until about 5 minutes ago, I always thought it was half their HD + the relavant ability modifier. But just now I was making an adventure with a satyr, and I noticed that the DC for their pipe effects is 14... they have 5 HD and a...

    Declare a Race and Class, then Roll!

    Let's be brave.... with a Human Paladin Str 14 Dex 14 Con 9 Int 10 Wis 14 Cha 14 Not too shabby, actually. Nor too surprising. I am the reigning king of 14's, after all.

    Roll up a character right now using 3d6 rolled in order and post your stats!

    Str 11 Dex 16 Con 11 Int 14 Wis 13 Cha 13 Dear lord... that's better than the characters I roll using my normal method! :eek: (4d6, reroll 1's, drop lowest). I call that a rogue, for sure. Come on dice, show these guys what you're made of! Str 16 Dex 5 Con 17 Int 12 Wis 9 Cha 12 Still too...

    Normal vs. Magical Energy?

    Hmm, do you know which creature that was? It'd be a shame if was something incorporeal, cuz that would conflict with what Taren Seeker said :D

    Normal vs. Magical Energy?

    Is there any distinction between energy damage from a magical source and damage from a non-magical source? I was leafing through some old 2e stuff, and there was a difference then, and it made me wonder about now. I don't think there's any difference, but it's more difficult to look up a lack...
