    [OT] Cyber-Begging; I shouldn't be surprised.

    The street finds it's own uses for technology --William Gibson Karyn looked rich: She was a television producer, earned $900 a week and lived in a stylish apartment in Brooklyn with a closetful of Gucci and Louis Vuitton. But she also had a $20,221.40 credit card bill (thanks mainly to the...

    Defending weapon enhancement question.

    OK, related question. A character with the shield expert feat using a +2 shield could not apply any of that +2 for hitting hitting a creature with DR, correct? The way to get around that is to use a spiked shield but then you are still limited in the number of bonuses you can put into the...

    Science Fiction.

    A very good friend and co-worker wrote these stories. They are Science Fiction instead of Fantasy Fiction so hopefully this will not be considered off-topic. http://www.storymania.com/cgibin/sm2/smshowtitlebox.cgi?category=novels&page=1&title=JohnnyReb later, Ysgarran.

    Please rate Off-Hand Parry

    Question: since you are actively using both your off-hand weapon and shield do all of the said magic bonuses to add in with the off-hand parry feat? For example: A two-weapon fighter with +2 Long Sword +3 defender short sword +2 Light Fortification buckler. Would a fighter who had 'Off-hand...

    Elven Samurai...

    Very interesting, This was included in the 'Lone Wolf and Cub' trade paperback series. If you have any interest in the Tokugawa era the LWaC series has a lot of historical points like this. The series is a bit grim at times but overall I've enjoyed it. Ysgarran. ________...

    Ranger TWF and Drawing Weapons

    OK, I'm officially confused here. Are people saying that someone with two weapon fighting/ambidexterity can draw two weapons in a single Move-Equivalent Action? I've always ruled that drawing a single weapon is a MEA and that you can't execute two MEAs at the same time. It strongly encourages...

    I guess we need to rally around...

    I believe you can vote once a day...so might as well keep voting. It is just two clicks away... Ysgarran. __________________ http://www.storymania.com/cgibin/sm2/smshowtitlebox.cgi?title=AirForceOnePartOne&category=novels&page=1...

    opinion, give me the pros and cons of...

    I'm one of those who take a published world and then take it in my own direction. My longest running campaign is FR but it diverged from the standard lines with the original boxed edition of FR. The city-states of the North have been forced into uneasy confederacy long ago by the threats of...

    Summon Monster: Limited to the list?

    I really like the named creature idea. It seems like that would add a lot of 'flavor' to the spell. The player is using a plant template from the Manual of the Planes that seems to be very effective. Ysgarran.

    Summon Monster: Limited to the list?

    Does this spell limit you to only creatures that are on the list of possible summoned creatures or can you summon creatures that are not on the list but of the same challenge rating? One of my co-players has started summoning creatures with the same CR as the ones that are on the list. As a...

    Help: Prestige Class Mielikki

    Re: Re: Help: Prestige Class Mielikki Hey, I think this is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks! I guess it was kind of tough to define the prestige class when the best my player said was "A Rangerish Cleric".

    The Deadliest Archer of Them All

    *LOL* Anyways, have to say that you can't beat the power shot that the peerless archer has. Having said that I created a Cleric Archer not because I thought it was the best archer I could create. Rather I created a Cleric Archer because I thought I could stay out of the way of the true tanks...

    Help: Prestige Class Mielikki

    My players are converting some characters into third edition and we having trouble with one of the conversions. In particular we had 7Ranger/7 Cleric of Mielikki that we would like to create a Prestige Class for. I'm looking for ideas, comments or pointers to prestige classes. I'm posting...

    Publishers Opinion Of PCGen

    I'm not a primary contributer to the PCGen stuff, I have been more on the sidelines and kept a finger in watching what is going on. I did some contributing but I've been more of a gadfly than anything else. From that vantage point I am confident in saying that a year from now you will be able...

I say mutant because I seem to remember reading somewhere that they have become resistent to certain pesticides...but since I can't come with a source take...

    Miasma: Overpowered?

    It has not been the consitution check that has been the problem, it has been the fact that it shuts down an enemy spellcaster without any save that has been the problem. You take away a spellcasters verbal component without a save you are pretty much taking him out of the fight... Ysgarran.

    Miasma: Overpowered?

    Is there any errata for this spell? It strikes me as grossly over-powered but I have not done a thorough evaluation of other fourth level druid spells. Miasma is a fourth level druid spell from 'Masters of the Wild' that effectively 'silences' one character without any save. It has other...

    [OT] Grrr!

    Gargoyle is correct, even better, 400 would give you a nice set of numbers to know for sure whether the die is biased or not.
