I believe there are quite a few monster statblocks in the Creature Catalog forum.

What happened to the spells?

Random - it makes the player design the character around the abilities, not the other way around. That makes it more fun for me, but YMMV.

I think we are on the same page, but to clarify there are two general scenarios: 1) spellcaster without dispel magic vs. sorcerer with dispel magic: I call it an action advantage because typically a sorcerer cannot cast two spells a round, but counterspelling as an immediate action allows them...

I am going to make it a standard action, so even if a spell has lasted a minute, you can counterspell it by simply: 1) identifying its existence with Spellcraft. 2) casting an identical spell, spell that is designed to counter (haste/slow), or Dispel Magic (caster level check still applies)...

Good for you! I'm a random table junkie - you can create some really creative adventures simply by rolling on a few tables and then thinking about how they tye together. Anybody who has links to random tables - please share!

I played the FFG version and had just as much fun as the original. We used to play the original version so much that it is basically falling apart. The FFG version has enough new powers and cards to shake things up, plus they changed the rules for flares so that they are not discarded after...

Good job - I'm incorporating a lot of this stuff into my house rules!

Good point. You forgot your new DC formula, which would increase it to DC 29. If you decide to divide SR by 3 vs. DC 29, you get +25 Fort vs. DC 29, which is also an 85% chance of success. Vs no save spells, you get +16 Fort vs. DC 29, which is a 40% chance of success. Slightly better than the...

I believe the overall chance of success is 77%. Multiply the chances of failure together and subtract from 100%. I would divide the SR by 5 to calculate the save bonus (28/5 is still +5), but I would change the save DC to 10 + 1/2 caster level + ability modifier (not spell level modifier, that...

Then just keep it simple by using the 1/5th formula, rounding down. That makes Medium and Large have a 5 foot step, anything bigger has a 10 foot step. If the creature has a lower speed than the standard, use the same formula to recalculate. Page 148 of the PHB allows creatures of three size...

Awesome stuff. What is the scale of the maps?

Have you seen the Grace and Health hp rules from Book of Experimental Might? It seems to be a more elegant mechanic that achieves basically the same result as yours. What else are you doing to flatten the power curve?

If he's using the swim skill, no. Use the speed from the skill. If he's running along at the bottom or flying through the water, yes.

How about a 20 on a save? Nobody wants to make multiple saves, and those that do are probably the ones who need a power boost the most.

I'm not a Greyhawk scholar, but I think there is a long historical period between the Twin Cataclysms and the formation of the current kingdoms that would not have any "major events", as you put it. I think a Star Wars style tie-in could work in this instance. Greyhawk fans would recognize the...

Here's what I am thinking of doing to help with this issue: 1) Natural armor and (normal) AC bonuses do not stack. 2) Deflection and AC bonuses do not stack. Deflection still adds to touch AC. 3) Cloaks and stat boost items are not permanent. They can be used 3 times per day, for 1...

Hey Walking Dad, I'm still digging these rules! :cool: Got any new ones? Shouldn't Unbalance Opponent require that the opponent be hit, otherwise isn't it too powerful? You point at a dragon and it gets -10 to its attack?

I'm not sure what you referring to on this one. I don't see any changes to nonlethal damage in Pathfinder Beta.

I think it can be done, I am going to take a shot at it. My plan is to include the following from 4e: Racial Feats Healing Surges Rituals Minor Actions (allow some 3e move actions to be combined with actual movement) The rest stays 3e, Pathfinder, BOXM, or BOXM2.
