    Domains as Spheres

    Let's see, most tyranny gods are LE, so healing your subordinates is expedient, as they help you on your way to world domination (temporarily, so to speak...) Basically evil clerics are forced to spontaneously cast inflict spells, so I guess they won't be all that interested in healing magics...

    Ahh...nostalgia.

    Actually none of these games are legal to distribute (probably), but it's up to you... the pangs of conscience involved surely are minimal.

    Wow, SpellGen is Great

    Wonko the Sane: in case you don't know, the above file was produced by one of the leads of the RPG pirate scene. Just wanted to point a little irony of fate...

    A giant frog ate my halfling.

    What new rules? I've been thinking about buying ToEE. Does it have as many add-ons as Neverwinter?

    improved sneak attack

    This feat (Improved Sneak Attack) may be unbalanced, but it has minor significance even in combat. Unless you're building a perfect assassin you probably wouldn't bother taking it. And even assassins have better options when it comes to dispatching the target (poison, paralysis, spells)...

    Wow, SpellGen is Great

    It would be even better if the installer didn't take 9 MB. That's a little too much for me to download, supposing there are regular updates. silvermane

    Feats for specialist wizards - a different incentive

    For ideas see also the "Encyclopedia Magica" by Mongoose Publishing (the early volumes had Necromancy, Illusionism, Enchantment).

    Firefox extensions

    You do realize, of course, that the efficiency of your Internet connection depends as much on the throughput as on your ping, for example. Webpages are hard to optimize because they can ping many servers (even if you exclude ads). I have a miserable 56k as well and there's not much that can be...

    D&D 3.x Converting spells 2E > 3.5E

    Could anyone point me to some directions on how to convert spells from AD&D to D&D 3.5E? I have the WOTC conversion manual, but it gives no clue. Alternately why not set up a project to convert the Great Net Spellbook and Great Net Prayerbook (excellent AD&D resource of old, over 5000 wizard...

    Dire Monkey or Dire Flying Squirrel?

    I found two dire squirrels: http://silverdragon.visionplane.com/viewSub.php?subID=151 - nasty, can drain Constitution http://www.blacksway.net/cc/show.php?cc_id=64 - another take No dire monkey, unfortunately.

    A more interesting spin-off is reporting on the life (or vegetative, as it may be) status of Terri Schiavo at www.nik-martin.com/terristatus/. I wonder if the creator of this page has access to firsthand information about her state? silvermane

    How do I change the format of time/date?

    How do I change the format of time/date displayed? On phpBB forums it is done by php variables, but there are no such options here. I find yy-dd-mm cumbersome to say the least. silvermane

    NPC generator

    Well, Vascant started his work by doing stat blocks for human fighters and now moved on to other classes, starting with barbarian, and monstrous races (like giants). silvermane

    Firefox- What are the downsides?

    Downsides of Firefox? One. MAJOR. It doesn't load the page from the cache if you go back, unlike Opera and like IE. On my insanely slow connection that would be a huge PITA. And, well, I do use it. It has a neat weather panel that can be clicked to show 2- and then 10-days forecasts. About as...

    Tell me about Wikis

    . Strictly speaking they aren't webpages. The pages are generated on the fly from either a MySQL or other database or plain text files with CamelCase. Either depending on the preferences. You can restrict editing to registered users and/or certain IPs. WikiFarm? Or else pay a few bucks to...

    NPC Generator...

    I think that "He" should be replaced with the character's name, just like in the next paragraph. Just my 0.02 cp. silvermane

    PCGen 5.7.12 beta released

    Ah, Azureus... it does start fast, but takes as much as 95% of my CPU power on occassions, I wonder what's causing it that? As for PCGen, in 5.7.11 the loading speed noticeably improved, but not so much as to make me fond for the program. It still takes a minute to start and load a PC, on an...

    HTML Offline Searchable SRD 3.5 v1.2 released

    Ok, but what are the username and password? I'm running a local MySQL server from the EasyPHP 1.7 package (on Windows - shame on me :d), and being the clueless newbie that I am I have no idea how to guess the password. Running mysql as above I get something like "ERROR 1045: Access denied for...
