Never heard of it (which I guess means "never ran a game that way" and "never played in a game with that rule" as well).

I'm always leery of allowing material desired by players for the betterment of their characters (who isn't?) so I'd like to get the opinion of the hive on the poison-making rules from the BoVD. I don't own the book myself, but the player has sent me the rules for Craft(poisonmaking) (including...

Yes, you're right about the +3 to the skill checks. I wasn't thinking clearly. I have since looked at the "poison maker" build in more detail. Thanks for the advice about trying the 3E forum. I've not gotten many responses here, so I'll try that. :)

"I'm happy with what I use and I don't know anything else, so how could I ever be happier?" I just love it... :) I'm not a huge fan of Apple or Macs, but I am a huge detractor for Windows. Just about anything else is a step up, IMO. Or two steps, in some cases. My preferred OS is some...

Hero Lab looks really interesting, but I have a couple of questions first. What is the external file format? Is it XML? If so, then I could write an XSL transform that converted it to the format required for tokens in MapTool. (That would rock! :)) What language is it written in? While...

Yep, DMG trumps all. Because it tells the umpire not "what the rules are", but "how to apply the rules". It's like a police officer who witnesses a crime: they have the option of enforcing the law or ignoring the infraction. The GM is in the same position. I can (as GM) choose to ignore the...

Until recently (in the last few years) all penalties were unnamed and therefore stacked with each other. However, a few of the books (splat books?) started using named penalties, so the trend has moved towards penalties stacking the same way that bonuses stack. Personally I think this makes...

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to imply that it was bad that it was the SRD tweaked. In fact, I agree with you wholeheartedly! ;) I was merely pointing out that there wasn't a lot of new stuff in there. In comparison, the Prestige Class enhancement appears to have had edits of a more significant...

It sounds like you plan to keep the machine for awhile. I don't. I buy the cheapest laptop I can get that will boot a live CD of Kubuntu :) and I use for a year or two, then buy another one. I always have fairly recent hardware to use and a spare laptop in a crunch. And I get a kick out of...

Doesn't look like anything more than the SRD with just a couple tweaks. (Like the XP cost for item creation is gone.)

Sorry, I see now that your poll says, "starting hit points". In that case, I would be using choice #1: Max + Con Bonus. I just started CotCT a couple sessions ago and if we hadn't gone this route, the fighter with 12 hit points (or took 11 points of damage in a single attack) would've been...

Yeah, I'm planning to have alignment-only magic items. Since we just started a new campaign, I'm planning to incorporate material from the Weapons of Legacy book into my PF campaign. In terms of things like holy weapons being used by neutral characters, I'm going to treat neutral characters as...

I don't like "me too" posts, but I just have to say ... "me too!" I would also suggest MapTool.

I've always ruled it as #1, but re-reading the spell description of unhallow, I'm not so sure any more: From the SRD: That one line would seem to indicate that the dispel magic effect would continue for the entire 1 year duration of the spell! Since the description also says, "You may...

You might want to check out "The Levitator"'s post for an online game; he's looking to play online, but he lives in Reno and may know of other games... http://www.enworld.org/forum/gamers-seeking-gamers/244802-online-game-conanesque-fudge-based-gaming.html

Doh! Thanks for the note. I actually did, though. :) I found one of the design focus threads and then used the OP's name. I guess I should've checked that before posting here. My apologies!

Hey, very cool. Thanks! I'll check these out right now... :) Okay, I grabbed the downloads. The first thing I thought of was, "Which version of MapTool are these for?" If you could go back and edit your comments to indicate which version of MT they were built in, that would be great. (I...

But... This is true. But finding those threads is tough using the messageboard software @ paizo.com. :( I've used the search function for "design focus", but it brings up a bunch of hits that don't apply. And there's no way (that I could see) to specify "title only", for example. The search...

Heh. I allow the most expensive item to 1,000 gp * square root of the PC level. But then I don't mind a little math when it's only going to be needed once anyway. ;)
