    [Psi] Replacing Attack/Defense Modes?

    I've got a player who is interested in psionics but doesn't see the point in psionic attack/defense modes (he's interested in psy warrior). Personally, I'm not really attached to them either, so I was wondering if anyone has found a balanced replacement for them? I know about the feat Resculpt...

    Neat Historical Artifacts for a game

    Welsh/Celtic mythology has a lot, of course. I can't remember all of them, but this link works nicely: Enchanted Objects NCSUCodeMonkey

    NC GAME DAY II (Aug 23): Man, was that fun or what?!

    Well, I would have to say that the best part was the fact that everyone in the morning orcz game started to talk in "orc speak" even when they weren't in character. For example, I remember more than one occurance of "Anything in hallway?" But I also have a few quotes: "If the outhouse door...

    NC GAME DAY II (Aug 23): Man, was that fun or what?!

    Micah has a friend coming in from out of town. I'll have to ask him, but I'm pretty sure that he would be willing to play Kwalu, the Awakened-Giant-Lizard-Riding-Wild-Dwarf-Cleric-of-Ubato. So, consider that space semi-spoken for :) Also, I got confirmation from Talley: everyone gets 6ft x 5ft...

    NC GAME DAY II (Aug 23): Man, was that fun or what?!

    I think Hand 'o Vecna would make a perfect Father McCallister...with the good book in your left hand and a longsword in the right. Playing an inebriated preacher is MUCH better than running errands, methinks. :) I'll bring the DVD and TV tomorrow regardless, and if we wind up with a player then...

    NC GAME DAY II (Aug 23): Man, was that fun or what?!

    Anybody out there willing to bring a DVD player? I'm borrowing a copy of The Gamers, and I could bring a TV. It's only 45 minutes long so it would probably fit in the lunch break (for people who aren't going far to get food). Just a thought :). I don't want to try and cram too much in to one...

    NC GAME DAY II (Aug 23): Man, was that fun or what?!

    Update on the room set-up: I received an e-mail today from the staff of Talley with a diagram of our room layout. I had been worried that the room would not be big enough to support double tables, but I may have been wrong. They are going to play with putting four 5 ft x 6ft tables in the room...

    NC GAME DAY II (Aug 23): Man, was that fun or what?!

    Erm...is that like, with a gun or something? Because, I'm pretty sure you can get arrested for stuff like that. ;) I can ask for utility tables, sure. I had figured that a good portion of most of the single tables would be empty, so I didn't think of such a thing. I'll check with Talley...

    NC GAME DAY II (Aug 23): Man, was that fun or what?!

    Just spoke with the awesome Talley staff about an hour ago, and we've got the green light on room setup. Three 8 foot x 2 1/2 tables and one mega 8 foot x 5 foot table for large setups. Now, back to working on the adventure...:) Matt

    NC GAME DAY II (Aug 23): Man, was that fun or what?!

    Yeah, it probably would help to know where we're having this, eh? The Game Day will be held in the Blue Room, which is room 4111 (that's on fourth floor Talley). The easiest way for everyone to get there will probably be the elevators on the ground floor, although there are stairs for the...

    NC GAME DAY II (Aug 23): Man, was that fun or what?!

    So, where's the Friday nite gig going to be held? I've seen a lot of leaning and suggesting, but very little deciding. :) Oh, and looking back through the posts for this, I noticed that the gathering time is 8:30. That's perfect, and should work fine, but technically Talley doesn't open until...

    NC GAME DAY II (Aug 23): Man, was that fun or what?!

    Hey Against All Ooze players, I need minis! I own exactly eight un-painted minis, which will work fine for the game, but if any of you have tackleboxes full of exciting and painted minis, then that would be preferable. Just ask my players, I think they get tired of every evil boss being the...

    D&D 3.x [3.0/3.5] Fire Shield

    I just recently ran a 3.0 adventure where a monster had the half-fire elemental template from MoP. The fire shield ability tore the party's monk up. There was a brief argument over whether the spell caused you to take damage because you were getting close enough to strike, or because you were...

    D&D 3.x Need suggestions for speeding up grenade (splash) weapons. [3.0/3.5]

    Thanks for the code snippet, i might just use it. Yeah, I'm an old "C-Dog," I generally do use a few utilities to track things so it wouldn't be much of a problem for me to use this. I will let everyone know how the combat goes in a few weeks after we've had our first session of the new school...

    D&D 3.x Need suggestions for speeding up grenade (splash) weapons. [3.0/3.5]

    I like gimmicks, thanks for the idea :) As for the number of opponents, I don't have the stats for the monsters in front of me, but I think they were CR 1/3, so according to the good old Encounter Level calculator that's about 21 of the little buggers. I believe their ranged attack bonus is...

    D&D 3.x Need suggestions for speeding up grenade (splash) weapons. [3.0/3.5]

    I'm planning a big combat in an upcoming game for my main campaign and I want to use grenade weapons. There will be a lot of creatures with low attack bonuses lobbing grenades at the PCs. I really don't expect very many of the attacks to hit, so I'm trying to figure out the best way to speed...

    NC GAME DAY II (Aug 23): Man, was that fun or what?!

    Well I haven't gotten the chance to check-in for quite some time, but I'm glad to see everything going so smoothly. Thanks to several gentle nudges :) I put aside my research for a bit to type up character creation rules for "Against All Ooze." Everyone who requested them should have them now...

    NC GAME DAY II (Aug 23): Man, was that fun or what?!

    If you can stuff him into a fifth level character :D. For those who wanted pre-gen characters, you wish is granted. I'll try to make the characters fun, with a good FR theme, but easy to pick up and play. Your characters will be waiting for you on play day (barbarian aversion duly noted, btw)...
