I thought it might be handy to have a list of 3.5 revisionist resources. These are either other folks' 3.5 revisions, or resources that delve into the mechanics, enabling you to better understand and modify things to your taste. If you know of more, let me know and I'll add them to the list...

If his bonus really is +120, he would screw up about 1 time in 20, if he rolled a 1. Since there's no real set DC, he can't "fail" - it's simply a test of how far he can jump. No it's not. As I said, there's no penalty for failure, because you can't fail - all you're doing is jumping as far as...

I need to know if this makes sense (i.e., can you read it and understand what's going on here). I'm using a variant grapple system (the one from Pathfinder Alpha), where you make a grapple check vs. a set DC; how much the result exceeds the DC governs how well the grapple succeeds - up to +4 is...

Question for you, UK (when you have the time): I was looking over the Multiweapon Fighting feat chain. Now, you changed it so that each applies to only one weapon (which I heartily agree with), but I found something odd. Let's use the marilith as an example: It's listed as Primary longsword...

Here's my version of the leShay. I put it up on my site because it's in a table and it was easier to format it that way, rather than post it here and make a mess of things. When I got to the leShay, I decided to simply give them some racial HD and class levels, like I'd mentioned before. The...

That's okay. I'm still pondering how to make it workable; I'm thinking of just assigning hp/inch + 10 for Strength. *shrug* I think it's very workable, and it looks pretty simple. Anything that would simplify encounter building would be a boon. On a side note, it's kind of funny... when I was...

I did some thinking about this at work. You have good points (as I meant to concede earlier); we're toward the same goal, just from different points of view. My reason for using hardness/hit points is that I think it would be easier - all materials need them for purposes of breaking objects, and...

I screwed up. Mithril is slightly heavier than titanium (4.55 g/cm3), which sounds about right. It's 4.7 times as dense as flesh, or around a +20 Strength modifier. This would give the mithril golem 19 HD and 50 Str. Of course, mithril is supposed to be lighter than most metals (including...

Here are the hoary hunter and his steed. As with the gloom, I ran into the problem of them having far too many HD for their size/type. I think, though, that the designers gave them a crapload of class levels that somehow translated over to racial HD (not sure how that works, though). The gloom...

I'm still playing around with some things, but I can tell you that the weight for your diamond golem is off, by a lot - the density of diamond is 218.5 lbs/cu. ft.; a diamond golem 14 feet tall made of solid diamond occupies 77.76 cu. ft., and weighs 16,990 (17K) pounds. That seems like it's too...

From what I determined, mithril is about equal to titanium - around 1.06 g/cm3. I haven't been able to figure out adamantine, though. Right, but what if it's not that massive? Let's take the mithril golem as an example. It's made of a very light, very strong material. It's not that dense, but...

I should be posting monster questions here instead of in the Godsend thread. :p UK, I've got a problem. Mithril and adamantine aren't real materials, so we don't have any densities for them, which makes it impossible to determine the golem stats. Mithril is much lighter than iron, so I'd place...

Blach. I realized how much the 3.5 skill system sucked after I tried to convert this thing from PP stats back to 3.5. I ended up having to cut several skills to make room for the ones that were split up (Stealth into Hide/MS, and Perception into Listen/Spot), and even then it doesn't have them...

Probably. I have a tendency to spout out random ideas that pop into my head as I'm writing posts, so sometimes my posts sound a little disjointed. The idea I got here relates to the metasetting of Project Phoenix, which I've since refined a bit. See, I'm big into "the elements" - it's a theme...

FWIW, I am a publisher AND a fan. My site has a complete system (sans character creation and advancement rules) based on the SRD, so it pretty well requires the OGL, IMO. Besides, I think it's simply good form - I fully intend and encourage others to use my material, and they'd find it much...

Aha. I think you can tell that I don't have Ascension. :p I've never been interested enough in gods or divine beings to buy a book about them. Now that I'm doing Project Phoenix, though, I might consider picking it up at some point, if I ever sit down to convert the divine rules. Ah, I see...

Can we at least get v6? Please? Pretty please? :D I've been holding off on my monster conversions for a couple months now (though most of them are already done; I just have to check against the new values and convert to ECLs, which is the biggest part). I could just post everything with CRs and...

Aha. I've never seen (or heard of) an actual fansite policy regarding 3.5, so I figured the OGL applied there as well. FWIW, I've got a copy attached to mine, but since it's a) a total conversion of the 3.5 system, and b) all OGC, I kind of need it. I have seen WotC IP posted on other sites...

Read your OGL sometime. It has to be attached to ANY material using the SRD, whether or not you intend for it to be open. Stuff posted on forums is exempt, but I'm fairly sure stuff on websites falls under that aegis. That's true, more or less. 4E was previewed at DDXP in (edit: er, Feb 08)...

Okay. Weeelll... things like the Fates can't be killed. At least, not permanently. Think Mr. Smith from Matrix - if you kill him, he can just inhabit a new body, take it over, and bam - he's back. That's essentially what a force of the cosmos is: an ideal or a concept, not an actual being. It's...
