    10' spread

    A spread is sorta like a burst, except it can bend around corners. I know the 3.0 PH had a decent illustration showing how a spread works (on the page w/ fireball?).

    what is your preferred period for d+d games?

    I voted Golden Age, but it's more of Golden Age that is slowly falling into a downslide. Think something along the lines of the rise of the Empire in Star Wars (eps I and II). Everything looks hunky-dory, and everyone is happy for now, but trouble is brewing in the background. The campaign...

    If you campaign had introductory text a la Star Wars..

    <div align=center>THAVIAN WARS EPISODE I RISE OF THE NECROMANCERS Dark forces are at work in the city of WATERDEEP. An astounding increase in petty theft, along with burglary of many of the city's wealthy patrons, has left the WHATERDHAVIAN GUARD stretched to its limits. Furthermore, many...

    Adamantine's Weight

    First, I assume that adamantine doesn't affect weight in 3.5, since there is nothing stating this (as opposed by mithril weighing 1/2 as much). So, using Iron, instead of steel, to representent adamantine, I get the following numbers. From www.webelements.com : Density of iron = 7874 kg / m^3...

    D&D 3.x What are your current 3.5 House Rules?

    Looking through my myriad of Post-It-Notes in my PH and DMG: PH Ability Score Generation Roll 4d6, drop lowest, keeping best six out of seven scores. Races Dwarves: Dwarves count as Small creatures for purposes of Vertical Reach. See "Jump" skill. Classes Druid: *yoinked* the splitting of...

    The Great Character Collection Project!!

    I know that the .doc files would probably be a few hundred K each, but have you tried making the .pdf files be black/white only, instead of color? If not, then try that, and you should save a huge amount of space.

    [OT] Major Power Outages in NE USA and Canada

    An amazing sight, seeing those thousands of people walking down the major roadways. It's just, like, a bit unreal. At least things are flowing well, considering the situation. No major traffic problems (multitude of accidents, etc.) other than some backup caused by light outages and...

    Science question for the brainy among us

    I say "Grenade weapon," deals 5d6 [Force] damage on impact, splashed for 1d6[Force]. After all, we're talking about a 3rd level spell, so it's not outside its power bounds. Non-scaling damage, because the spell is also utilitarian, in addition to damage-dealing (at least, if you allow...

    The Great Character Collection Project!!

    You could just spend the gold to scribe the spells into the spellbook. Mid to High level characters have enough spare gold lying around to be able to drop a few thousand here or there on new spells.

    [OT] My uncle cleaned the house with Pepsi Blue

    I haven't tried Pepsi Blue, but there is another drink that my brother gets that claims the title of Vile for me. At Sonic restauraunts, you can get flavoured add-ins for your drinks. Most people get stuff like Cherry, maybe Strawberry, and Vanilla is popular. He gets Watermelon Dr. Pepper...

    Anyone here ever PUSH A MAN DOWN STAIRS!?

    Yeah, I've got the guy stuck in the windshield and grill before, but the score never climbed above about 25,000 - 30,000. I still want to see if anyone can score in the six-digit range, and be able to reproduce the results, and have others reproduce them as well.

    Questions about Draconomicon

    [pure speculation] Dragon PrCs: Dragon that focuses mainly on breath weapon. Gets metamagic-like feats, increased damage, increased speed of use (every 1d3 rounds instead of 1d4? Maybe every round? :eek: ) Dragon that foregoes magic, relying solely on his [Ah-nold]superior muscular...

    Anyone here ever PUSH A MAN DOWN STAIRS!?

    I liked this one (see image below). The truck hit the ramps, smashed into the wall, and started to tip over. It rocked a little bit, and the driver slid off the seat to the ground, and the truck promptly fell on top of him. My highest score with Truck Dismount, i think.

    Hey, web gurus! I'm having trouble with a web form. Help?

    I'm nowhere near being a web guru, but I don't see a form anywhere on the page. Or is that the problem? Either way, *bump* as well.

    [August] What Video Games you playing??

    Diablo II: Lord of Destruction 1.10s (Beta patch). Nothing else catching my fancy right now, as far as video games go. PC-only, I don't have any console systems.

    The Great Character Collection Project!!

    OK, characters edited to show skill ranks in brackets after the total bonus. Also, for the Human Monk, I used a headband of wisdom, instead of a periapt of wisdom, using the section in the DMG describing body slot affinities. Is that "core" enough?

    Green-eyed elves only others eye colors need not apply?

    It's sorta like beholders. If you don't look exactly like mommy-beholder, then you are an abberation of the species and should be culled from the line. Elves are similar. If you aren't exactly like mommy-and-daddy-elf, then you aren't a true elf, by their arrogant standards. However, all of...

    Screenshots of AVIs?

    You can try setting your video hardware acceleration to "none" in whatever player you're using. This worked for me (using Windows Media Player) in an experiment a few minutes ago. Quality may suffer, though.

    New Peter Pan Movie

    Yep, there's a tradition that Mr. Darling and Hook are played by the same actor. I think it's mentioned on one of the websites. Maybe something to do with Father-Is-Bad-Guy so Same-Guy-Plays-Real-Bad-Guy too. Dunno, really.
