    How to make a Psionic Archer

    Dull gray Ioun Stones can be used to provide 1PP. Doing this destroys the Ioun Stone. So effectively he has 110 one shot 1pp capacitors. I I am not mistaken, you can only use 1 per power so he has a -1PP cost to each power he manifests. Add this with a Torc and he has pretty cheap (PP wise...

    How to make a Psionic Archer

    Ok, dumb question, but the char you mentioned is definately int he realm of "dream char". My example would use gear only available in the wotc books, and would also be within his "gold at level" limit. Given that a PsyWar gets Use Magic Device and Use Psionic Device I don't see how the psion...

    Are +skill items overpowered?

    Guys, now you are just acting like jerks. The guy posted his suggestion. Berating him is a waste of board space and reading time. Offer something constructive.

    Publishers Opinion Of PCGen

    Very similar to PCGen. Only they have to change code not html. Code usualy takes a bit longer.

    Publishers Opinion Of PCGen

    True, you either use it or you don't. They are not currently using it. Currently they are using copyright laws, same as this site and a ton of other sites. They are moving toward using OGL, until such time as they are OGL compliant or exceed copyright limits or claim OGL complaince (maybe a...

    Publishers Opinion Of PCGen

    Ah, but they were playing by the rules. Just a different set. They follow the copyright laws, which they could and still can legally do. They decided to move toward OGL. As such until they are OGL or use OGL content in an OGL way, then they can still sue teh copyright laws. I *believe* that...

    Gamers Opinion of PCGen (No Rants)

    Unfortunatly yes. I *believe* that they are in talks to see if simply adding a random dice roller would be allowable. Not specificlly tying it to anything, but simply a dice roller. Hope for the best. until then download a random dice roller, or (Heaven Forbid) actually roll the dice on...

    Gamers Opinion of PCGen (No Rants)

    I have to say that I like PCGen. Of all the competition that I have tried, it is the best of them. That said, it is also constantly changing. Some changes are improvements, some changes are annoying. Example: Change in gui is good, removal of lst files for books I own is bad, but request by...

    PCGen 3.1.0 available

    No prob, just trying to keep things straight. Someone not knowing might have come along and went looking for GNU laws and then started flaming about nont GNU compliance or something. :) Arnix (tm)

    PCGen 3.1.0 available

    Actually its (L)GPL not GNU. Splitting hairs here, but GNU is "GNU not Unix", only vaguely related. Though both under similar licenses. They are not applying a new license to the data, only to the source code. If you or anyone else see some sort of a problem with OGL or the license, PLEASE...

    Publishers Opinion Of PCGen

    Man, Orcus you read more of the PCGen page than the PCGen main people :) Can tell they are a bunch of code monkeys not web masters. Oh wait, the web page layout and design gave that away. Not that I can do any better. I hammer code not html. Arnix (tm)

    Publishers Opinion Of PCGen

    OK, I am not a lawyer, nor do I play one on TV. 2 points here. 1) I have read extensively from legal sides on the use of GPL. GPL is what OGL was derived from. As such, I assume that it stands on the same legal grounds. Based on that assumption, I will state my thoughts. GPL is legally...

    Sorcerers and Wasted Spell Slots

    Currently in the campaigns that I have run/played in, I have seen 0 (zero) sorcerers. Running some LC/LG tables at conventions, I *think* I might have seen 1. Maybe. There is a reason for this. The stuff you need to level, is wasted later on. The stuff you need later on, is pretty useless...

    Sorcerers and Wasted Spell Slots

    Actually, out of 4 campaigns, this was the first in which psionics was used. As such, many choices were made based on weak interpretations of the rules. Since the decisions were made MANY new powers (I'd say 100 or more) and feats (20+) have been released as well as a ton of clarifications...

    Sorcerers and Wasted Spell Slots

    Problem is, I also have (effectively) Call Weaponry. And the party has 2 archers with magic bows (largish party). Granted the magic arrow trick is a nice one but...

    Sorcerers and Wasted Spell Slots

    Actually what I was seekign was not a "free exchange". Iw as looking for a MAGICAL/PSIONIC way of erasing the knowledge from my mind. Thus allowing me to learn new stuff. To use your computer topic, I do delete things from my hard drive to give me space to add something different. I don't...

    File type discrimination

    This thread has turned into a flame war, and as such I usually avoid posting so deep. However (love these don't ya), The data that was provided with PCGen that was WoTC copyrighted material, was less information than you would find in a college thesis paper. Frequently, the data amounted to...

    Publishers Opinion Of PCGen

    Link: http://pcgen.sourceforge.net/ If you look there is also a link to their listserve. There is a plethora of information to be found there. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/pcgen Also, as a long standing fan of NG and JG (since '87 or so), I would like to say that I await the day that they...
