Okay, so the ring of spell-battle is 67,800 gp in the Complete Arcane and 12,000 gp in the MIC (exact same descriptions). The ring we've come up with here (a ring of quickened dispel magic) would cost 36,400 gp or almost half-way between the other two prices. Yet StreamofTheSky makes the point...

Hey folks. I've got a player whose PC wants to create a ring of dispel magic. I'm a little leery about his prereqs for the item as it seems too much like a ring of true strike! ;) 1. Usable once per day 2. Minimum caster level (5th level) 3. Immediate action to use I started by...

You should check out MapTool since it has all of that (and much more) when you use the user-contributed "D&D/PF Campaign Framework" that you can download from the forums. And it's all free. And networked. :)

Now here's an interesting tactic if the terrain supports it: Dragon casts wall of force at one end of a gorge. Dragon approaches party from the other end and drops a boulder like a bowling ball. The boulder takes 1 round to hit the ground. (Boulder is falling as dragon continues to move...

Yep, I'm familiar with Mono. So Evolution won't be using WPF? My understanding is that WPF will not be touched by the Mono project... Thanks for the response. :)

I am running my group through CotCT converted to PF, but I have most of the MapTool maps available. Feel free to drop me a note here or via PM and I'll get you a list of what I have. We are currently at the end of Chapter 2 of the AP so I'm just starting on the maps for Chapter 3...

Even more effective is casting it on a creature that has more movement that the PCs do and tell it to hover around the spellcasters. The creature can ready an action to move with the spellcaster and if the creature's movement is high enough, that might even cover a double-move for the PC. I'm...

<threadjack> Oh, yes I have. I've written dozens of technical training books and I'm quite familiar with page layout concepts and issues. :) And it sounded to me (or rather, to the geek in me) like the artwork was not anchored to the text, but to the page itself. Hence my question regarding...

Okay, thanks for the clarification. I tend to focus on tools that are either Java-based (like the RPTools.net stuff) or available as source code. The second requirement is particularly important. Otherwise, the entire "vendor lock-in" thing happens. And I don't mind quite so much the lock-in...

I agree. I've been DM'ing D&D since AD&D in 1978. I've been around awhile. ;) Yet I still don't have the entire 3.5E book memorized, nor would doing so necessarily help when it comes down to interpretation of a rule. (We've been having issues lately with movement of Tiny creatures because...

I realize that it might just be because I'm the geeky type, but are you not using a word processor with layout capability and styles? While I agree that some tables can be a real pain even with "flow around" boxes, it really shouldn't be that tough to change.

Very cool. But looking at the download options I'm assuming it's a Windows-only binary and therefore useless to Linux and Mac folks, right?

Hmm. I suppose I can agree that 2 (maybe 3) of those are pluses instead of minuses. But only barely. Heh, I don't care. I don't read the WotC forums any more, so if people wanna whine about such things, I'd prefer they do it there instead of here. ;) Seriously, I am extremely happy that...

You're not very familiar with web surfing, huh? If you go to the URL and delete successive components from the end, eventually you'll find that the only part that works is the domain name! Then click on Gaming (on the left) and Gaming Tools below that. Now you'll have a link to the treasure...

I've been running a PF playtest for the last 8 months or so, since the Beta rules came out. We are 2 chapters into a 6-chapter adventure path. What happens in August when the final rules come out? Do we switch? Or stick with the beta for the remainder of this AP? That will depend on how...

I tailor the death-defying spells to the campaign and the players. In my Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil we've had 12 character deaths. The first few were, of course, when the party was too low level to bring anyone back (they couldn't cast the spells themselves and they couldn't afford...

Not familiar with Google, huh? Try this: prettylst pcgen - Google Search

What you want is DM Genie (see dmgenie.com), but I hesitate to recommend it any more because the development has died off. :(

(Heh, I think he meant "sites". ;)) You'd kill trees for that? My recommendation is to visit the site heruca recommended (and a bunch of others, as found by GoogleImages) and use an online tool. Either heruca's BG2 or RPTools MapTool or any of a variety. Many can be used in "face-to-face"...

Um, perhaps you should download the rule book and read it? Then you'd know. In general the classes are much better balanced. The sorceror might be a little over the top with the bloodline abilities (who wouldn't want the draconic bloodline?), but the fighter and paladin in my playtest...
