    Elvish Names, now in Elvish letters!

    Here's a batch I've already worked on, from Angcuru's thread. I'm working on typing up all the names from that thread, and hope to get all of them done. Here's the translations in the first batch: Archer of the Woods Cuar tel Taur Very fast guy Rimadanedhel Keen eyes from a distance...

    Elvish Names, now in Elvish letters!

    Backstory: A few months ago, I found a site on the internet, linked to from these boards. It was called Dan Smith's Fantasy Fonts for Windows, and on this site I found (amd promptly downloaded) fonts for several of JRR Tolkein's languages. Since then, I've come to enjoy learning to write in...

    How do you calculate XP?

    I use the method from 3.5. This was the method introduced in the FRCS, and I switched to that style when I saw how it benefitted lower-level characters and helped them catch up.

    Matrix/LotR crossover quotes

    Aragorn: "Gandalf has fallen to Flame and Shadow. This has happened, and cannot be undone. We should not question the fact that this has happened. No, my companions, we must understand why this has happened." After Legolas does his hop-up-on-the-horse-cool-trick, Gimli, slack-jawed: "Whoa."...

    Which 3.5 changes are you NOT using?

    Something I decided on early was to allow charging through Friendly squares. I have toyed with the idea of SF / GSF being +1 / +2 respectively (half their 3.0 values). I think Andy Collins (or someone at WotC, anyway) mentioned that Weapon Finesse should not have the BAB +1 requirement, so...

    "Death from Above" attack bonuses?

    I would give bonuses for "High Ground," "Charging," and implement the suggested "Defender takes falling damage, while attacker takes non-lethal damage" rule. Don't forget to consider whether the opponent is flat-footed or surprised in relation to you.

    (OT) Settle a disagreement! Are songs on the radio better than the same song on CD?

    This has to be the longest-lived off-topic poll I've ever seen. I agree completely. Heard "Don't Fear the Reaper" on my way home today, and didn't realize I was in the mood for it. Same way when I heard "I Want to be Loved Like That" the other day; a song I love, but haven't thought of in a...

    Star Wars: New Jedi Order

    I haven't read this series (or any Star Wars novel, except for RAS's EpII novelization), but from experience with other lines of books, I say start over from the beginning. Jumping in halfway through never sat well with me.

    3.5E Psionics Handbook official-type info

    I know that, even though I don't use Psionics in my game, that I enjoy the psionic style of "magic" anyway. I hope that a lot of material from "The Mind's Eye" on the WotC website will make it into the new book. From what I've seen of WotC's message boards, the Psionics board has some really...

    The Horizon Walker -- as a caster? [Druid]

    I was reading the 3.5 DMG yesterday and came across the Horizon Walker (p. 189-191). It's a class that gets bonuses each level dealing with certain terrain types. The class as written looks like it was intended for a Ranger, but I'm thinking that the flavour of the class would apply equally...
