The look of the program is very sleek, from your screenshots. I like. Can your program import monsters from the monster builder? Characters from character builder? Here is a competing program that sort of sets the bar, especially if you plan on making this a non-free program one day...

Well, why wouldn't it? If there's a chance that 'Brute Strike' happens every time the fighter swings his sword, why does it only every happen once per day? Trying to explain it as quantum mechanics actually moves it farther way from making sense, in my eyes. :confused: And snow is governed by...

So, do you think, if you theoretically put the two different PC types together, they should level up at the same rate? I decided that 'races' should fill a different niche in this game I'm building, because most everyone should be human. So I'm having them roll on a separate table where...

Like I said, it doesn't make sense that the 'probability,' no matter what it is exactly, changes based on how many encounters you have in a day. It's 100% daily use with 1 encounter. 50% daily use with 2 encounters. And so on. I would have much preferred dailies instead be limited by, say, once...

Disclaimer: I like and am fine with dailies for all classes. I do like encounters a lot more for any class, including casters who would traditionally have dailies. The problem is, it's not a random chance. If you had to a roll a twenty to use a 'daily,' then there's a chance you could use a...

I'm working on a variant Gamma World set in our time period and... no mutations, based on a favorite video game RPG of mine. I may pilfer some of your ideas so here is something: Mirror After briefly concentrating and overcoming your enemies mental might, you become so alike your opponent...

Johnny, I think code is IP and couldn't just be 'taken.' Used as a sort of inspiration, or model certainly but it's only a 6-7 man team as I recall. No matter what inspiration you have, it takes time to write code, and it takes time to work all the bugs out. As far as free vs. paid, well, I...

@El Mahdi I really don't see that improving play experience. As dynamic as it sounds, it would really just come to the player's turn, he'd do full 360's looking around at static character and monster models standing around a essentially a chessboard. He'd then just have to ask the DM tons of...

Can someone describe the HERO system, at least for Stats? I like Hollow Earth expedition's system. Very simple, each point of a stat translate to rolling another die for another chance of success. Add the relevant stat and skill level and you have a dice pool to roll against a target number. Or...

One place to start is from the Eberron Campaign Guide. Check out the NPCs that are in the paragon tier and consider a plot where they are the main villains. I think the Lord of Blades is low epic, he would work as a 'final boss' of paragon. To tie in to that: The Mournlands. It's time for them...

"people," as in... me? Go ahead and say so if you think so. I'm right here. Fair enough. We are the equivalent of car geeks here, though, really. We're the type of people who log on to car forums and discuss all about cars, including the theory of cars and transportation. By creating an account...

Kamikaze Midget Good points, but are Pathfinder and 4E D&D really just two different gas stations? Yeah, they're both games, but are they similar enough for a statement like "I'm quitting 4E and going to pathfinder!" to really mean anything? For example, if someone says I'm quitting cars and...

Good point. What I was more getting at isn't that people are perfect or even good at identifying what they like, but that assigning standards and applying them to things that you would just fine without (non-essential) can be neither right nor wrong. There is no right vs. wrong in having the...

I'm not sure 'high' and 'low' standards are useful here. Standards, in this case at least, seem to be a collection of requirements that something either meets or doesn't. For the char builder, I couldn't care less about it being online only because there is wifi everywhere I game. It's reported...

I could be wrong, but I doubt 'professions' as presented will be new skills. Maybe, like double maybe, they will be attached to existing skills, but I'd guess they function like background with alternate benefits. I like rituals, but sometimes they don't make any sense at all. Like LostSoul...

Here's an outline of an adventure I did for Eberron in Sharn: Prostitute found dead from asphyxiation related to burning 'drug' stuffed into windpipe. After, a disoriented halfling found in a crate full of copper coins, left to die possibly from suffocation, maybe thirst. (Didn't really work...

I like it. I hope they wait for 5E to unleash such a model though, just because people would have bought books very differently if they knew that's how the online tools would have worked. It would be cool to have a one-time use code sealed in books that gave you the online transactions as well.

Depends on the campaign. In my Eberron murder mystery campaign, your character can't die unless you want them to. Only a TPK means a total loss, even then, if the players wanted they could probably come back from it. In Gamma World, if you die in a crit on the first round of the first combat...

What's wrong with the artwork and dialogue?
