Here's how I see it: A Rogue finds a locked box and takes it home. He sits down in front of his fireplace with plenty of time and absolutely no danger. He keeps trying to open the box all night, and will eventually succeed. So rather than taking up precious gaming time by rolling the check...

You can't attempt a hide check before an observer is present. It's an opposed role, checked at the time that the opponent has a chance to spot you. Hiding also requires having cover or concealment against the spotter. You can't check cover and concealment against someone who isn't even there...

Remember, taking 10 or 20 is just a way of "fast forwarding" through a lot of boring and repetitive dice rolling. So if you're not sure if you can use it with a particular check, go ahead and actually DO the boring dice rolling and see what happens. Keep rolling until you succeed, keep track...

Coolest spreadsheets EVER! Thanks Edheldur!

Edheldur Any chance of you sharing your very useful-sounding MM Terrain/encounter spreadsheet?

Per the SRD: This ring continually provides its wearer with life-sustaining nourishment. The ring also refreshes the body and mind, so that its wearer needs only sleep 2 hours per day to gain the benefit of 8 hours of sleep. The ring must be worn for a full week before it begins to work. If it...

PDF995 works really well. There's a small ad/nag screen on the free version, but it's not really that irritating. http://www.pdf995.com/download.html

Sean K Reynolds opinion on taking 20 on Hide has always bothered me. Hide is an OPPOSED check made against someone who is actively trying to SPOT you. That means you can't take twenty because failure would mean that the person you're trying to hide from has seen you. Sean's logic seems to be...

I don't think there will ever be an edition called Dungeons & Dragons 4.0. I think WOTC has realized that the numbering system was kind of a silly idea. I think in a few years they'll come out with something like "Dungeons & Dragons: Advanced Core Rules" or "Dungeons & Dragons: Expert Edition"...

I second that. If someone could get this database working in Access, that would rock!

If the email address works out and you manage to get a copy of Nation Builder, I'd love to get it too.

I think this might be one of the programs that you're looking for: David Allen's website is gone, but the file still resides in ftp.funet.fi ftp://ftp.funet.fi/pub/doc/games/roleplay/programs/pc/wb13win.zip He also wrote Nation builder. Using the Internet Wayback machine to look at his old...

Actually, the exact wording of the Prismatic Wall says: The table then goes on to describe the effects of each color. Personally, I think the wall should effect anyone or anything entering from either side, but if someone wanted to be a stickler for "rules as written" the wall seems to have...

Four actually. There's also "Central Casting: Dungeons" which applies the same random tables system to generating dungeons.

Brilliant casting idea, trancejeremy! Ed O'Neil + Chicago + Straw Hat would definitely have been the way to go. Stuart Townsen + Los Angeles + No Straw Hat = major suckage I fear.

Just a heads up for those gamers that collect/use Dwarven Forge Mastermaze terrain. As of August 1 they've begun pre-selling the limited Edition "Den of Evil" set. Of the 1500 sets made, only about 500 left - and going fast. http://www.dwarvenforge.com/1/home.php For those gamers who don't...

Here is a pretty good Excel spreadsheet that generates random room descriptions. And if you know even a little bit about Excel, you can add your own items to the random lists. http://www.dndepicenter.com/dnd/ThirdEdition/Programs/RoomFurnishings.zip

There's a couple different monster advancement Excel spreadsheets over in the download section: http://www.enworld.org/downloads/index.php?cid=11&sb=filename&so=ASC&sh=full&pt=f&page=2
