I'm not aware of what E-Tools contains in the way of monster stats, but your best bet may be to use an Access database to type up the statblocks of the monsters you'll be using ahead of time. That, plus reading what their various SQs do before the game, should be enough for you to run...

Personally, WHEN I use a laptop it's simple notepad, spreadsheet app, and MAYBE pre-generated PCGen character sheets. All of it pre-loaded and ready to be looked at with a quick alt-tab. All the evidence I've seen suggests wetware is just more effective at the actual running of the game than...

I'm back! Tan, why don't you send those rules on? And anybody else have any progress to report?

Just to let you people know, I'm moving tomorrow and the PC will be packed up early in the morning. Any questions, comments, etc. you intend for me should be given at that time, since I'm going to be without internet access for the foreseeable future.

Actually people, there is one thing to keep in mind. WotC made an extremely risky move by writing the OGL in the first place, as it is based on the legally untested GNU licenses for open-source software. There's no guarantee that the OGL can hold up in court as-is. There is a chance, however...

Or maybe "Gee, more Jedi messing with the memories of the girls."

They wouldn't NEED to be "everywhere at once" A 10-man SWAT team is a pretty tiny number by the standards of a city with 4-5 million people, but you still don't need more than one or two of them to service a city of that size. Why? Because you don't call out the SWAT club for every little...

I didn't. I looked for it on the Wizards page of the full list of licensed OGL products. From there, I extrapolated from the License to figure out what would have to be OGC in order for the License to be valid.

I don't think the Republic has any sort of army or millitia under its command by AotC. Instead, there are local security forces in every star system for the purposes of handling day-to-day affairs, and the Jedi to settle large, interplanetary disputes. Remember, the Neimoidians were quite...

Since the Ravenloft book isn't on the official list of OGL licensed games, I'm going to have to guess that you may be out of luck on this one. A third party couldn't have pulled this off without explicit permission, so the Fear, Horror, and Madness mechanics are Product Identity, along with...

The guys at "Something Awful" tend to write negative reviews with heavy sarcasm for humor. The fact that they're making things up actually means they didn't find the game to be TOO terrible.

All right, one quick suggestion and then I really am out of this thread. Just a quick revision to the list of bonus Blackgurad abilities for Paladin levels. 1 Lay on hands. Once per day, the blackguard can cure themselves of damage equal to their Charisma bonus times their blackguard level...

Well, there's the overwhelming emotions often associated with sex. In humans, sex might be discouraged to discourage the emotions involved. Only explanation I can think of.

It will run, maybe. . . . but only in a non-standard configuration. For some people, this is not an option. Either they don't have the paitence, or they use their computer for critical tasks. If a community-built driver crashes their Windows setup, they may be in a world of trouble. Granted...

In terms of abilities, Knights of Solamnia are very similar to Paladins. Basing the new classes on the Paladin core class would only be sensible. This does not, however, make them Paladins. They are a very different group and have very different priorities. I'm going to choose to take that...

This point is only valid in-game as long as nothing is occuring outside the Paladin's immediate vicinity, but within traveling distance. Staying still in this instance, especially for a battle-focused Paladin, is worthy of requiring atonement. I provided them merely as an example of one...

You're really twisting my words around here. Azoun had an enormous amount of power, and responsibility, derived from his position. Moreover, if you READ the books you'd know that he didn't just sit on his throne and pass decrees, he was occasionally out in the kingdom doing good works by...

. . . re-read Leadership. Nothing about dismissing your followers there. Since it's intended to replace the Fighter trait from 1st and 2nd Editions, where they would simply "show up" once you achieved a certain level, I would be highly tempted to say the intention is for the character to be...

Thank you. Most of the rest of this post makes my own point for me better than I ever could have. My only real exception is your DEX of 8. I would, personally, sacrifice two points in CON to raise this to a 10. That -1 to AC can be annoying, even if it's not particularly dramatic. Of...
