    SRD Competition Submission Thread

    The quick answer to this is "kind of." The only things I "rewrote" were things that could easily be pointed to as being distinctly 3.0 and not 3.5. That included Remote View, Psicrystals, damage reduction, and a few feats. In all cases I attempted to cut and paste extant 3.5 material changing...

    Best 5th party member?

    A bard is hands-down the best 5th party member in this situation, but only if things are done properly. A human bard at 1st level can invest its feats in Precise Shot and Point Blank Shot, solidifying its future role as a missile weapon combatant only. Put your good stats in Dexterity...

    I'm afraid we've suffered a loss

    In times like these we have to take solace in the simple innocence of children. When your child asks what happened to Ted, tell them: "Ted had to go home, but we'll see him again someday." They'll understand.

    Are any companies continuing with 3.0 support ?

    My thought about 3.0/3.5 is this: So I have some stuff on my shelf that is revised and some stuff that isn't. Big deal. They both use the same set of core rules, meaning I can open up my Creature Collection 2, throw in a monster with improper spacing, old skill point totals, and whatnot, and...

    SRD Competition Submission Thread

    Well I for one didn't make the deadline. I had monsters to go and only made it to Hydra... Instead of spending my entire holiday finishing it up I decided to have some social interaction with my family instead. Everything was working really well too. I had fully integrated psionics into the...

    Player's Guide to Paladins and Monks: Prestige Class Preview

    Well, like I said, I haven't gotten my books yet so I don't really have a lot to add to the discussion. I will say I did finally see the W/S/B book in the bookstore last night. I didn't really flip through it too much, I was just curious to see which of my spells were used. Two of them...

    [True Story] And darn scary

    The dinger on my car that tells me when I've left my keys in the ignition only works intermittantly. Because of this, there have been many times I've locked my keys in the car while they were still in the ignition. I carry a trunk key around with me now and I have a door key hidden in the...

    What ENWorld means to me (you).

    Maybe it's just because I don't have as much time to spend on the messageboards, and maybe it's because I don't really "know" anybody on here, but I don't have the warm, fuzzy FAMILY feeling about ENWorld. To me, ENWorld is a great place to go to keep abreast of what's going on with WotC and...

    What do you think about Monte's new PHB Racial Levels?

    Nah, not really. I'll admit that, on the surface, a level of elf seems similar to a level of OD&D elf, but there's a vast conceptual difference between the AU racial levels and OD&D racial levels. In AU taking a level in a race grants you abilities unique to a race. You might even say they're...

    Player's Guide to Paladins and Monks: Prestige Class Preview

    You know... I don't know. The prestige classes in all these books seem to be VERY Scarred Landsesque; they're to the point where a pre-existing campaign can't import them with any ease. As a result, I'm really kind of blase about the lists of classes in the books. It doesn't sell me on them...

    Clowns as villains

    I've never used clowns, but I love (and have used) the Dark Carnival from the Scarred Lands. Those folks, plain and simple, will be written into every campaign I run from now on. Of course, it'll get tricky figuring out new ways to make them seem innocent until it's too late...

    What do you think about Monte's new PHB Racial Levels?

    I take it to just be a flub up in titles. That's obvious the "Class Skills" section. As I understand, "racial levels" in Arcana Unearthed simply require you to be of that race.

    [ADULT - Medical Update] Angelsboi Q & A

    How does that line go again... "It's always the darkest before the dawn." Christianity may have a history of persecuting those of different sexual orientations, and not everyone believes in the concept of a monotheistic, all-powerful god, but nevertheless, some words to consider in your time...

    Favorite non-WotC publishers

    My experience with non-WotC d20 publishers is something like this: Sword & Sorcery Studios churns out plenty of books that are interesting to read, even if you never plan on using a single bit of it. I know I've bought a few of their setting books I'll never work with, but I read some of it...

    SRD 3.5 Competition

    Seeing as I'm an American and doing this largely for my own use, naturally my entry will be in Letter size format. Of course, if I won I'd be more than happy to reformat it into an A4 size. It would take some time, but if it meant making it easier for my patient fellow gamers across the...

    [3.5] Oriental Adventures

    I'd rather they not go back and re-release 3.5e versions of all the major books out there. Psionics makes sense, as it gives them a chance to fix the system and bring it up to a power level comparable to the core classes. But for the rest of the stuff, give me a PDF web enhancement like they...

    Mystara 3e--Anyone else following this?

    The elf is the elf. Standard 3e high elf. I know they went around and around about this and somehow decided the gray elf was more like the Mystara elf, but that to me just makes no sense. I have regional feats, and one region is Elf (Sylvan) which has a feat that lets you reduce the Spell...

    Mystara 3e--Anyone else following this?

    Yeah, mine too... considering that's my old website :D The stuff I started doing drifted beyond the confining limits of Yahoo Geocities, hence the reason it's on my PC and not on the net.

    What WotC does better than other D20 studios. (mild rant)

    With the Scarred Lands it was like this: 3e was new, the PHB and DMG had just come out, and suddenly the first real d20 release is the Creature Collection - a bit BEFORE the Monster Manual. Now, obviously SSS must have had access to a draft of the MM, otherwise they'd have even more errors in...
