    New spell - comments?

        What if I keep it as a personal spell, but make it threaten as a large (reach) weapon - 10 ft for a medium character? Does that unbalance things, do ya think? Thanks,     Jason

    New spell - comments?

        So, you think that in general, it is underbalanced? I haven't done much (any) spell design, so I'm not sure of all the things I need to look out for... Thanks,     Jason

    Threaten Transmutation Level: Sor/Wiz 2 Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 action Range: Touch Target: creature touched Duration: 1 round/level When the recipient is holding any bow other than a crossbow, she threatens an area just as if she was wielding a medium-size melee weapon. The...

    Any new news on fluids boards going back up?

    Re: Re: Hey Eric Noah!!!!     Well, that's certainly annoying. I was so pleased that eTools didn't require the CD (or even an install!). I use it at home, at work and at the various places I game by putting it on my "gaming" CD, and running it from there. I'm not handing it out to friends or...

    Alternatives to Mats?

    Use a tape measure     In one of the games I run, I use a tape measure rather than any kind of grid at all. It works out pretty well... No problems with diagonal movement and no oddly shaped spell effects (a cone on a grid is very odd; worse yet is a burst).     Jason

    [semi-ot] Is there a name for ....

        Andy Collins mentions those here: http://www.andycollins.net/free_stuff_files/handflowers.htm and calls them ring braclets, handflowers or ring bracers.     Jason

    What info would make a Dungeon Mag Database useful?

        I agree with everything drnuncheon says (in this post, not in general - who knows what he might get me to agree to...). All of these options would be very useful.     Any chance you're going to do the same thing with Dragon? *grin* I'd be willing to help...     Jason

    Cross-class skill feats

        Along roughly (very roughly) the same lines is Jack of All Trades, from Song and Silence. It allows you to use any skill as if it were untrained, including those skills exclusive to other classes. You can't gain ranks in an exclusive skill, though.     Jason

    Stat that movie!

    ETHelper help

        It sounds like you are using ETHelper without any modules installed. Download the "Sets" module from the same place you got the base ETHelper app, and unzip it into the ETHelper directory. Then, when you start up the app, you'll see a new button...     Hope that helps.     Jason

    eTools: The FAQ - A proposal

        I have seen person after person ask the same questions about eTools. My feelings of guilt for not contributing more to the community are finally getting to me... Sooo, I would be willing to work on and maintain an eTools FAQ, if there are others interested in contributing.     Any takers...

    “Change it in Access” (a rant)

        Access 2000 only. Sorry...     Jason

    Can anyone help?

        The problem is not with eTools, which follows the rules as written to the letter. The problem is with your fighter's equipment, or lack thereof. All Craft skills (except for cobbling?) require tools to perform, and you receive a -2 penalty if you do not have the proper tools. Purchase...

    eTools: Can you edit a race?

        OK, so this is annoying. Is it just me, or is there is no way to edit a race after it has been saved? If I create a new race, but realize I forgot something after I start building a character, do I really have to create the race again from scratch? Am I missing something? Thanks,     Jason

    Construct Mechanus Preview

        This looks exceptionally cool, Phil... I am looking forward to seeing it. How long is the book? What other kinds of things (other than races and base classes) do you intend to cover?     Jason

    E-Tools: Implementing PrCs

    Re: How To....(long)     I just found out, from Q100, that the last two fields in the "info Class" table, BonusFP and LevelsForBonusFP, are related to Bonus Feats (called Feat Points in eTools, hence "FP"). Enter a 1 in BonusFP if your class has bonus feats, and then enter the appropriate...

    ETools class creation?

    Re: Hi     You, my friend, are a friggin' genius! I had gotten the data input correctly except for those two columns in the "info Class" table. It doesn't work exactly right, because Monte's Alt.Ranger feat progression isn't regular (1, 4, 7, 10, 13, 16, 19 - first a 4 level jump, then 3 level...

    ETools class creation?

    Re: Curses....     I had the same results you did. I added everything to the DB to copy Ftr (Bonus Feats) and Rgr (Favored Enemy) class features. I also added the list of Feats to the "info Class Bonus Feats" table. But unfortunately, I can't select Favored Enemies or Bonus Feats when creating...
