    House Rulebook terms: System Preference Documents = House Rules

    I use this one a lot: NESBGM = Nasty Evil ScumBag GM (ie. me)

    Fictional creatures that would make good monsters

    Hey! Not to mention the various incarnations of these Reavers. DAMN those things are creepy.

    I can't get anything from MY BOOKSHELF

    Thanks Jdvn1, I saw the first thread but thought it didn't properly apply to me since the OP was trying to Upload something, so I didn't read it all the way thru. The last update says Morrus is still "looking into it", from almost a month ago. Are we going to get an announcement (or a mass...

    I can't get anything from MY BOOKSHELF

    Whenever I try to download something in the ENWorld downloads area "My Bookshelf" it comes up with an error. Is everything that I had in My bookshelf now gone?

    101 Bennies

    I will be giving our Bard character a customized scroll case for all his stories and songs and other notes and maps that bards are likely to keep. One possible benefit of this particular case, is that it is enchanted so that a particular class of songs, spells, or perhaps Lore checks or other...

    101 Bennies

    We call these things "favors" in our campaign: small gifts that go beyond a mere magic-item or mundane gold. * The local moneychanger agrees to offer his services at a drastically reduced exchange rate, allowing PC's to trade in their found coppers and silvers for those easily portable...

    Create yer own Adventure Cards...website..

    I'm not sure how well this is working. My "card" had the text come out garbled, with two lines overlapping on top of each other.

    Appropriate Boss bad guy for my group?

    Holy KR/\P, this is an awesome utility. I'm saving THIS one in my bookmarks.

    Appropriate Boss bad guy for my group?

    Except that the CR system balances itself on the premise that a party is made of four characters. We "turn it up to 11". So what kind of CR is balanced against 11 8th-level characters?

    Appropriate Boss bad guy for my group?

    I am currently DMing for our Forgotten Realms campaign. We are 11 PC's (made of a cleric dwarf, a fighter dwarf, two sorceror-thieves, a bard, a wizard, a barbarian, a paladin, a fighter-thief, and two rangers), averaging 6th to 8th level (with a couple at 10th-level) (at present; it's likely...

    The VCH list (Very Common Houserules)

    1. Flat-footed AC only applies to a surprise round. Once initiative is rolled, all opponents are aware of each other, no flat-footed AC. 2. Haste spell also confers +1 to initiative, in addition to other listed effects. Conversely, the Slow spell confers -1 to initiative in addition to its...

    What sort of DM screen do you prefer?

    I voted for the standard 11" screens, because frankly I've never heard of or seen any 8" tall panel screens. Anyone have a pic or demo of what that is like?

    OotS 429

    Actually, wasn't the South Park reference in the last panel with Belkar? "I thought he was too smart to do the jump..." Wasn't there a SP episode where Cartman was going to jump off the roof of his house trying to fly? And everyone was cheering him to jump, until he actually did?

    What would you want your DM screen to have?

    Holy cow, Imagicka, what a list! But seriously folks. I thought of one more important thing I would want on my screen, while on my way to work this morning. A table of a Ranger's Tracking DCs or results. And a list of hp's restorable by Heal Light, Heal Moderate, Heal Serious, Heal Egregious...

    What would you want your DM screen to have?

    I disagree with the AoO tables. I have a screen now, fully half of it is wasted on "what provokes an AoO and not". A screen needs to have the cleric turning tables and results. Mine doesn't so I had to add one. I also added to my screen a list of the different Magic schools (abjuration...

    Brown Mold and fire

    "Fire brought within 10' of brown mold causes it to instantly double in size." What are some of the effects of this growth? Does the mold then deliver twice its stated damage to an adjacent creature (twice 3d6)? Does the chilly effect radius extend another 30' radius? I also assume the growth...

    Best "Monster Cards" format?

    I've bought TOGC monster cards, and was not impressed with the product, because the text is so incredibly tiny, it's impossible to read and reference quickly when I'm at the game. I tend now to write out monster stats onto RPGA Initiative cards because it's easier to read.

    Staffs usable by any character?

    The way I read the DMG, any character class can wield a magic wand or staff, regardless of whether or not he is a spellcaster in the first place. There's nothing that specifically states that only a wizard or sorceror can use one and not another, etc. Is this correct? A fighter can wield a...

    What do you do for... Bards?

    Funny timing, this thread I've JUST THIS LAST WEEKEND finished writing up a set of house rules for bards, which I am preparing to introduce into our campaign, as we have a bard PC. It involves using the bard's Sense Motive check to determine what a given audience would appreciate hearing a...

    So how many coins fit in a...

    AuraSeer, I get your point and I agree with you about encumbrance limits, but in point of fact, 576 cubic inches of gold, or 2300 gp, according to the 50gp per pound formula, is only 46 pounds, not 400. As for how big is a "sack", I assume a "large sack" is equivalent to a pillowcase. A small...
