Er, enervation is negative levels, not energy drain. :cool:

Here's how I/we do it... Thanks, Emerikol, for getting this discussion started. :) I have phpBB2 installed on my web site and I keep campaign notes there. Our group is about 15 players if everyone shows up, but that's pretty rare. In fact, our group tonight was 5 + DM. Because our group is...

And an argument can be made that just because the affected creature can tread on the surface, doesn't mean they have to. And if they choose not to, then they aren't necessarily borne to the surface at 60 feet per round. (The part about being brought to the surface could apply only to when the...

Does anyone else see the Spellcraft DCs listed in the article as being off a little? If I make a table out of the text in the article, it looks like this: Min CL Article DC Proposed DC 1st 20 20 3rd 25 25 5th 30 30 9th 35 40 12th 40 47 It seems to me that the progression is wrong. If...

Andargor, you've said you're building a browser because of the PITA's with cross-browser javacript... I'm guessing that you're not interested in frame issues, then? In both Konqueror and Firefox, the left side has a bunch of frames created that seem to be empty. Looking at the HTML, I don't...

You might take a look at http://rptools.net/ where there are a bunch of open source and free Java-based tools. So far, it seems that the MapTool isn't ready for prime time yet. (I've played with the Java WebStart version but found that there are a lot of things it doesn't do yet.) You might...

Oh. Well, it sounded like Andargor was interested in hosting them. Perhaps he will filter out the non-RSRD stuff. Andargor? (Personally, I only run core games. :))

I didn't see it. I noticed that the d20 page was empty; maybe you meant to update that page with a link to the SNA and SM cards? Thanks, I2K. That'll save us all a bunch of trouble. (I use DMGenie as both DM and player, so I can click New Creature and create a new beastie pretty easily, but...

Okay, thanks. To summarize: an item in the possession of a creature, saves as the creature does. An unattended item is destroyed. Magical items are not affected. My numerous questions (!) dealt with the first case, as I was interested in knowing if two saves needed to be made (such as...

My earlier reference to get-out-of-jail-free was not meant to be taken literally. I meant any situation of dire consequences, such as having their rear-ends handed to them by a group of a half-dozen horned devils or some such. ;) It sounds like most folks are agreeing with 30k gp, no Con...

How do you rule the target of the shatter spell? First question: do the area types and saving throws correspond as I've shown using red, blue, and green? Basically, if a spellcaster sees an opponent wearing a bandoleer filled with potion vials (allowed IMC), can the spellcaster target the...

Okay, thanks. :) I'm not convinced that the other "free actions" couldn't happen as part of the readied action, though. For example, if I ready an attack, can't I still make a free action during the process of attacking? If the creature is specifically defined to be able to use multiple free...

If you're a player in an Age of Worms campaign (from Dungeon Magazine) stop reading now -- potential spoiler below. I saw a new creature in the Dec issue of Dungeon Magazine. Reading through the description of this CR 13 monster makes me wonder about how one of...

I haven't read the Amber series, but I have a 12th level mage IMC that has a similar desire to create the cards. I agree with Lorgrom (who agreed with ...) about the temporary Con damage (d4+1 seems reasonable). I would probably limit each card to being used once per day as well. Given the...

Agreed. Except that the new FAQ revision says advancement is fine. It might actually benefit the player to choose a younger dragon and advance it (due to the STR bonus). Yes, you're right. My bad. But my point remains: does the entry for Black Dragon actually represent multiple "average...

The recent thread on how the FAQ has clarified (!) the polymorph family of spells has prompted me to ask a related question: When a 7th level mage wants to polymorph into a black dragon, can he? Specifically, I'm thinking about the requirement that the spell only allows the spellcaster to...

Are you serious? I saw this link posted here on ENworld a few months ago. And while I admire Rich Burlew (mostly for his comic strip! :lol: ), I think his treatise on how to revise polymorph is a heckuva lot more work than adjudicating the current spells! I sat down one day and spent more...

There's also a version called a Half-Elemental in the Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil.

But it's extremely convenient if the tool does know this. After all, the point in having a computer-based tool is for it to do as much of grunt work as possible. And I would greatly prefer if the tool could do everything and I could just concentrate on storytelling. That said, DMGenie is the...

Wow. Wow. I'm sorry I asked. :( :lol: I appreciate all the rules haggling, and I appreciate how everyone is willing to haggle those rules "in public", as it were. But arguing over the length of a standard action vs. a move action was not my point! As I mentioned 30-40 posts ago (!), I'm...
