An intelligent magic item that doesn't like it's possesor can attempt to exert it's will. If the PC fails the saving throw, the item gains "dominance" and can "demand concessions". What exactly does that mean? Would you play it similar to a Dominate Person? Does the possesor know what is going...

Does the victom of an Enchantment spell remember what was done? Do they find it odd? I Charm Person the BBEG's guard to let me in the castle. When the spell wears off does the guard think "Holy crap! Why'd I do that?" and go ring the alarm? If not, does he remember he let me in? Does he still...

DM's Familiar has a dice roller built into it. It's not free but it will run on a 133. You can type in anything you like (14d7, 1d33+2) and it will roll it for you. It can also do multiple rolls at once, for example, a magic missle: "5 1d4+1". It shows the result of each dice and a total. You...

My site, The Wyrm's Hoard, is a searchable database of adventures. Searching for adventures starting at level 8 to 12 and gaining at least 2 levels reveals: Deathright (Kalamar), Demonskar Legacy, Heart of Nightfang Spire, and Lord of the Scarlet Tide. You might pop over there for more info on...

Grabbing another person would be a grapple, even though unresisted. Grapples require you to enter a square. "Dropping" an object is a free action: as in "I drop my sword", "I drop my shield", "I drop my pants and moon the king". Heaving a person up and over a 5' tall wall is not "dropping". I'd...

Entangled means, from the 3.5 SRD: Entangled: The character is ensnared. Being entangled impedes movement, but does not entirely prevent it unless the bonds are anchored to an immobile object or tethered by an opposing force. An entangled creature moves at half speed, cannot run or charge, and...

The Wyrm's Hoard has Dungeon 85 through 108. That's all of the 3.0 and 3.5 issues. Much of that information came from Emirkol's earlier index.

A searchable database of adventures already exists at The Wyrm's Hoard. I'll start cutting & pasteing Jay's new info into when I have time. Or, since the The Wyrm's Hoard allows anyone to enter data, someone else could start.

A wizard in my game now has a Permanent Detect Magic (as per Permanency). Detect Magic requires concentration. I think that the Detect Magic still requires concentration. If the wizard is fleeing from the red dragon, he won't see the glyph of warding in the hallway unless he actually stops...

Fighter, carrying 100lbs of gear, falls overboard. As he hits the water, he gets a Swim check (open ocean, DC10). He fails the roll by more than 5. The rules say he "goes under". Does he sink? If so, how fast?

CrystalBall is the only one for the Mac I know of. Not sure what it does. PCGen, a character generator, is Java so it runs on anything.

Buff: To increase or make better. "Bull's STR buff's my STR" Nerf: To decrease or make worse. "Spider poison nerfed my Dex!" I would highly recommend that we don't presume to know what is best for each other. Then you should probably stop insinuating that your competitors' products don't work.

Actually, DM's Familiar handles buffs/nerfs just fine. It's not a static statblock. You are correct in that DMF doesn't bother with figuring out stacking as RPM does. I leave that to the DM.

Nobody said it was the right thing to do. The word "kazaa" gets mentioned and people jump on their moral high horse and start screaming "Theft!". You even went so far as to call someone immoral. If?! You fabricated a scenario and called him immoral. If you're so concerned with morals as you...

You've admitted you haven't used any of these programs but you know exactly who they benefit? Interesting. I understand what you mean about not looking up rules at the table. Bogging down the game with rules lookups is no fun. There are 3 solutions to this problem that I can think of: 1) The...

That's utter crap. He never said any such thing. He merely pointed out, correctly, that the legal term for taking copyrighted material is Copyright Infringement. It's not, legally speaking, theft. And for that matter, the scenario you describe with the paycheck is not theft either. Your...

A collection of replies: You're allowed to distribute OGC material. That's the purpose behind OGC. As long as you follow the OGC license, then distributing those files on Kazaa would be perfectly legal. Just like distributing OGC content on RPGNow, a website, or by photocopying is legal. You...

The Family Domain from FRCS gives a +4 Dodge to all friends within 10ft (up to Charisma mod). This is a free action. The domain power doesn't say anything about uses per day. This seems pretty powerful for the PC to use over and over again. ???

Things that can help you run the game more smoothly: Ability to lookup rules quickly: An HTML version of the SRD is one possibility. That's a little hard to add info to. Programs like DM's Familiar (mine), DM Genine, and RPM do it as well. The ability to search this info (what are all the 3rd...

Oh. Right. Duh. It is defined as a construct in the module so it just takes damage, rather than knocking out a 10x10 section. Thanks.
