"Monochrome Blue" (Holmes) Basic D&D B2 Keep on the Borderlands "Red" (Cook) Expert D&D X1 Isle of Dread AD&D 1E DMG A couple of old Dragon Magazines (issue numbers in the 60s and 80s) AD&D 1E MM AD&D 1E PHB A-series G-D-Q series After that, I was basically hooked.

Well, the usual explanation has to do with the fact that English is in one respect a gleeful mish-mash of many other languages -- it does make spelling "by ear" (and, conversely, pronouncing "by eye") a not-inconsequential task. I certainly get tripped up on occasion... and (not to brag) I'm...

I seem to recall that the 2E PHB was Palatino 8/10. The 4E PHB appears to weigh in with Mentor at 9.75/13. If I'm right, this means the text is over 20% larger and the leading is 30% taller. Of course, font size isn't everything.

As you'll probably have determined by now if you're using Adobe Reader, there's your problem. But just for completeness's sake, I'm willing to bet this is it. To elaborate, the "white space" area should be filled with a dark bitmap that lies "behind" the white text in the sidebar and makes it...

You mentioned in another thread you were using OpenOffice. It's a shot in the dark here, but try modifying the Internet Link character style.

Not to be flip about it, but I suspect that whatever's in the print file is what Lulu prints. That is, if the PDF has colored, underlined text in it, the paper version will have colored (or gray, if grayscale interiors are being printed), underlined text. In general, I don't use colored or...

ObNitpick: HeadINGs, surely. :) For example, Headers/Headings

OpenOffice bookmarks and PDF bookmarks appear to be two different things, which would explain this behavior. After looking around a bit, it would seem that OpenOffice can generate PDF bookmarks based on the document outline assuming the document outline has been implemented properly (through...

Just to be clear, Acrobat (Std or Pro) is not a layout tool; it is the tool you use to create a PDF from already existing content and add functionality to the PDF once it's created. Even without Acrobat, you can generate a PDF with free or low-cost tools. I've seen CutePDF, PDF995, and...

Lore of the Gods appears to be a d20/3.5/OGL product, not a 4E-compatible product. There is a vast difference.

I wouldn't have guessed that the areas of influence are mechanical expressions, but I suppose the intent here is to ensure they're available for use. I can't imagine why else they'd be called out. (Obviously alignment names are mechanical expressions.)

I use Acrobat 9 Professional with Vista and have had no problems at all.

Perhaps, instead of insinuating something about most of the poll respondents, it might be helpful to recognize that the complexity of its rules is not the only determiner of whether a person will play a particular game.

Just to clarify that my point in posting what I did was that the "controlling other characters" schtick the bard character is trying to pull off using skills is actually not possible under the rules. I agree there is a deeper issue of inter-player and player-DM friction.

IMHO, the 3.5 warmage (Complete Arcane) makes a decent blaster caster. Despite everything, rolling damage dice is just fun.

Agreed that this is the literal wording of the quoted rule.

You got to throw them? Back in MY day, our younger siblings threw US down the steep hill, and when they got finished counting how many times we'd bounced, we had to come back up and keep DMing for them.

IMC, a PC's social skills can never be used "against" other PCs. Ever. I mean sure, you can roll it, but it's up to the (target) player to believe, trust, or do what the persuasive PC says... or not. Sense Motive, opposed Diplomacy, or whatever... not required. With NPCs, consider that skills...
