Oh I see, yes it is probably just a perception of how the method works. The players don't get any information. They simply roll a d20, add their AC mod to it, then tell the DM a grand total. After hearing this number, the DM can inform them if the monster has successfully hit or not. The DM...

That's essentally what I intended to point out with my posts. By adding this variant rule, players might glean some information through trial and error during combat, reflecting their characters' in-game experiences. I haven't ever seen any revealing of stats, which your initial post seemed to...

Uh, your players have a hard time locating and rolling a d20? :D For me, I've found it faster because while the players are rolling and calling out numbers, I can be doing other multitasking tasks like prepping the damage dice or skimming over the next enemies' attack options. As far as...

I always create a large site, with a forum, for every campaign. It's always built with free stuff, there's plenty of free resources available around the Internet. I wouldn't pay.

Yes in some campaigns, I use a simple and easy replacement for monster to-hit rolls. (I sometimes used a similar conversion in 2nd ed too) In effect, monsters "take 12" on attacks, their grand total gives you a dodge DC. You keep this number secret. You say something like, "Frodo, defend...

Well sorta yes, manually selecting a replacement. BUT there's another big "temporary" catch too. There's actually a 2 day "freeze" (called waivers) on the entire free agent list immediately following the draft. So you can't start adding any new players until Sept 7th. But you could place a...

There's a 3.0 d20 product I have lying around somewhere that does just what you're asking for. It's called "Experts". Lots of extra details about profession / craft ranks and skill check results. It's a great book.

I like fantasy art and I think it does influence me when I see full color products. I certainly don't buy a product for artwork, but I think color art is usually the "final kicker" that helps me decide when I'm on the fence about buying something with good written content. For color...

Where do I find my pre-rank list?

It depends alot on the viewer's elevation, and the height of the volcano. When I'm at the top of the ski slopes north of Vancouver Canada on a clear day, I can see Mount Raineer in Washington, around 150 miles away. But that's an exceptionally large volcano, at 14000 feet it's taller than most...

You forgot the run action! A red dragon of old age or older, flying in a straight line, with a light load or less, moves at 91 mph. The youngest wyrmling flies at 68 mph. 200' x 4 run per round = 800' per 6 sec = 480,000' per hour = 91 mph 150' x 4 run per round = 600' per 6 sec = 360,000'...

I'll play. Jaws ready!

I draw everthing, even scenes without combat. I enjoy drawing, and have used this method for so long that it doesn't slow down the game. It takes 15 seconds to draw a basic set of walls, and a few more for minor details. This is basically how I do it too. For example (simplified): As the...

Link interesting, article grammar poorly of words. Thread more funny, lots complain of typo and sentence. Me agreed. Author not spend 20 min fix, bad result without. Why? Life rush rush. Time not have of much.

WOTC boards are back online now.

There must be something powering the screws of the gnome submarine. So the same power might be transplanted to the axle of a wagon. Then you have a crude car.

I liked the Dragon magazine minigames. "Planetbusters" was the best!

One of my favorites! The last group I ran through it, foolishly got too brave and dove underwater to assault the merrow in his lair. TPK! :]

The party arms themselves with Saps, which deal nonlethal damage. The sap is the easiest method, it does a fair amount of damage (d6+str) and is usable by many. An unarmed monk can also choose to deal (alot of) nonlethal damage at no penalty. The party could also use regular damage...
