Yeah, this is what Perl is for. I just downloaded a copy of the RTF spec. RTF is pretty close to a markup language anyway, its control stuff is just formatted slightly differently. I've been looking for a little programming project. I might spend some time on this today, see what I can come up...

A creature with scent can determine what square an opponent is in, but not target them well enough to negate concealment. They keep the 50% miss chance, but don't have to worry about figuring out which square to attack, and they automatically know when there's an invisible opponent around. Some...

A 13th level Dread Necromancer might be fun. It'll fit with the concept of the character, and he'll be a powerful aid to you, since he'll be able to heal you, bolster you and your other minions, and run things while you have to sleep.

On the off chance it's available, the feat Bayushi's Technique, a Scorpion clan feat from the Rokugan sourcebook, grants a die of sneak attack damage.

I honestly wouldn't bother with Spell Focus: Conjuration. There's just not much that it helps with, particularly if you're going to be casting summoning spells all the time.

No, they just get the benefits of Augment Summoning. It essentially skips the need for the prerequisite feat.

I built what seems like a pretty effective martial bard character with the Spell Compendium and the Eberron core book. The key is maxing out your Inspire Courage result, with the Inspirational Boost spell and the Song of the Heart feat, which combine for an additional +2. I built the character...

Wait a minute, what? This FAQ quote doesn't make any sense to me. Isn't that contradicted by... What's the logic here, I wonder? Why is Dispel Magic (which can be cast as a targeted spell) not treated the same way?

Personally, I've always assumed it targeted each creature that enters the area with a targeted Dispel Magic. As specified in the Unhallow spell, you might be immune, based on the caster's choices when they cast the spell. But that's how I've always ruled it. The text isn't very specific, though...

I give them the option to reroll any odd numbers on the die, if they choose to. This prevents 1s, and tends toward slightly higher HP totals in general. Works all right for our group, and that's what all the GMs use.

I can only remember a few named weapons in games I've played in. I think this is mostly because of the way magic items are handled in D&D - they're part of the character, not really their own unique items. Sentient weapons are the only ones that seem to get names, IME. The best, I think, was...

If you watch the show at all, it's obvious that most of the writers are gamers. Quite a few D&D references have worked their way into the show, including an entire episode about D&D, the Eye of Vecna, Call of Cthulhu, and the Lolth thing. One of the main villains is Eris, the Greek goddess of...

It would have to be a very impressive setup, in a convenient location, to justify any kind of a cost for me. I'm trying to think of what I'd have to get for my money to make that worthwhile. A waiter, for one, who brings snacks and fills up my glass of water. And a very impressive gaming board...

You and I obviously have a fundamental disconnect here. I don't believe it's right for a company (either Sony, Nintendo, or whatever retailer you want to name) to be REQUIRED to be involved in something they don't want. You seem to think that whatever Rockstar produces should be approved and...

I don't buy that. It's not like Sony and Nintendo were unclear on things. If a game gets an AO rating, you can't use their consoles, and the specific materials and code needed to make that game run. The makers of this game don't have the right to use that code however they see fit; they're...

I think it's a risk they're taking in making their product. They know they're pushing the envelope to see what they can get away with. Now they know. They'll go back, and cut things out until they can manage a Mature rating. The intent of a game like Manhunt is to be sensationalistic, so this...

Can anybody think of any effective ways for a construct with divine magic to heal itself? The various Cure X Wounds spells don't work, and the Vigor series works only on living creatures. I was trying to find a way to get the Repair X Damage spells from Complete Arcane onto the character's spell...

Honestly, if you're looking for a good, powerful melee build, you can't go wrong with something like this. Barbarian1/Fighter4/Warforged Juggernaught2 Str 17 (10 points from point-buy, +1 from 4th level) Dex 10 (2 points from point-buy) Con 16 (6 points from point-buy, +2 racial) Int 12 (4...

I would agree with your conclusion - you can take feats that have the Dragon type as a requirement if you have the Dragonblood subtype. That's the whole function of it, as far as I'm concerned. Unfortunately, several of those feats are based on RACIAL hit dice, not normal hit dice. You won't...

I was always partial to The Sword in the Stone, Aladdin, and the Jungle Book. Emperor's New Groove is quite good, too.
