Thanks everyone for participating. Very creative! Zehaeva, I can't believe someone actually tried to address this one. Impressive. I KNEW I should have said 1000 gallons a second! 100 seemed low to me at the time I typed it off the top of my head. Anyway, in all honesty I did not use...

Thanks. Like I said it is working out for us so far. It's actually fun entering in the listed Market value and hitting the square root key to "magically" get the % I need for the week. I hope it works out for you if you use it some way. Good luck!

Wasn't there a Dragon issue not too long ago that had an article on "leveling" magic weapons?

Hey! That's the same thing that happened to Tiamat. Same number rolled and everything. :D

Oo, oo, oo...please let me resurrect this thread so I can convey my favorite memory of all time in the 20 years of playing the game. It involved the very first PC I ever created, way back in 1978. I was very proud of that PC because he had made it all the way to 16th level wizard (in 1E!)...

Re: Re: 3rd Edition too quick? too powerful? I haven't read this entire thread yet, but I just wanted to comment on this. I would think that if you set up a situation where the PCs are so rare and unusual in terms of the ability to use magic, then you have just made them VERY powerful when...

Hong, in order to avoid this you may want to consider changing your feat a bit. Instead of dying, why not have the mind affect take hold if you are ever reduced to zero HPs by this feat? It can be described as having so weakened your body, that it finally took hold of your mind. M2¢. Of...

Still looking for pictures of machetes? Take a look at the all images this search returned: http://images.google.com/images?q=machete&ie=ISO-8859-1&hl=en Remember to use the links at the bottom to see more pages of images. (The first page doesn't have many good results.)

Oh, am not saying DC 35 is unrealistic. It's just that when I DM sometimes I give the players a small break if what they are trying is cool (i.e. cinematic) and doesn't really give them a huge tactical advantage. But obviously that is more of a style of play thing, and I wonder how many other...

Ok, here is a few more for those who care to try them: - D&D Word Problem Quiz 2 - #11 (By request) The player wants to have a "Legolas Moment" and so decides to take his PC surfing down a flight of stairs on a shield... while shooting arrows at orcs. (Note: AuraSeer, I am digging your...

Since no commented on my last post, it makes me nervous. Are people just being polite? Am I screwing up my campaign with these make-shift percentages? I ask because at this point it's the accepted norm at our table and we will probably continue to use that method in the future. Am I gonna...

Back in the early 80s, while playing in college, we had two very popular spells: 1) Bones to Jelly (A polymorph type spell. Ouch.) 2) Mouth to Anus (Again, a poly, NOT a mind control spell. Great against enemy spellcasters. Essentially a mute spell, until the victim learned how to loosen...

Last time the party was in Waterdeep, and wanted to buy a crap-load of magic stuff, I quickly threw together the calculation below to determine if they found the items they were looking for. (I didn't want to wade thru tons of rules and role-play countless negotiations....they wanted to buy and...

These are all great responses guys, thanks! You all get an "A" for effort. It's really interesting to see how different people can come with different solutions, all using the same set of rules. Steverooo, I completely agree that some rolls are for when the players run out of ideas. In...

Remember in school when you had to do math word problems? Despite hating to do them with a passion there was a side of me that knew that word problems were the most practical ways to apply math to the real world. Math has a set of rules and word problems show how much you've learned to apply...

Ok I'll see what I can do. Gotta find the book, scan the charts and the relevant pages, and post it up somewhere. Keep posted and give me a day or two.

I know I am going to get stoned here for mentioning this, but a game that had a really good magic system based entirely on Astrology, was "Fantasy Wargaming". The game always got a bad rap in reviews, for various reasons, but I still think that if it was cleaned up a bit in terms of...

Dragonslayer still has the best looking dragon to this day, IMHO. When that thing was crawling around the tunnels, it looked REAL. Well it did to me back then anyway. ;) Excalibur, although not really authentic to the story in so many ways, is still awesome. Loved Merlin. Loved the clunky...

Sword and Sorcerer rocked! The old-timers at our gaming table to this day use one-liners from that movie. Oh yeah, speaking of Jared Syn, it reminds me of another movie I DID like: "Spacehunter: Adventures in the Forbidden Zone" Am I the only person that actually LIKED that movie?? But this...

Oh my gosh. You guys are awesome. I leave this thread unattended for a day and now I have this HUGE list of software to look at! :cool: Ok, let me see if I can organize all this so I can check them out systematically. Software mentioned: eTools kLoOge.Werks DM's Familiar DMGenie...
