If the PC with a +2 wealth feels that a +1 payment is proportionally smaller than the +1 payment that the PC with +17 received, I can justify it as having much of the actual cash tied up in debt consolidation, mortage overpayments and investments. The actual spending power of that sum of money...

I'm no expert, but from a quick glance at your site you would have to include the NPC statblocks in your "SRD". If that is the method by which you are "clearly identifying" your open content, then you probably should include all of the open content. Otherwise, it defeats the purpose of having...

It is probably best to talk to your lawyer and WotC to get some more official oppinions. It seems to me that this wouldn't be an additional limit to the OGC because the PI is protected indefinitely by the OGL anyway. You are actually removing the limits on the use of PI. Interesting...

As others have said: 1) It was the only game on most blocks. 2) It was new and exciting. 3) We would play from 8:00PM Friday night until 8:00PM Sunday night for the entire summer. You could level once a month at that pace if you survived. 4) Players had a different relationship with their...

Actually, if it is expensive enough it only needs to sell to 10 DMs in each city to make the same profit as a book that sells to 40+ people in each city. Anyhow, I voted yes. $65+ is fine. Of course, with the caveat that it is well done. If it were simply to be a 300 page dungeon crawl with...

So how much are you going to charge for this? ;) Just kidding.

Sorry, I can't help with the pony. I can buy the gals ice cream the next time I'm in the neighborhood... I know, it's not the same. Cheers

Sort of a neat idea, but it could lead to an odd situation where a product wins with a 4.5 average based on 50 total votes and another product loses with a 4.4 average based on 1,000 total votes. That sort of result can be spun in too many directions. Especially in a peoples choice award, you...

"As for silver and bronze medals, my heart, my gut feeling tells me that I'm still not convinced -- especially if throughout the year publishers make a bigger deal out of receiving nominations, such as on their web sites and in their advertising (FDP included, by the way)." If the value of a...

Just my two cents. (Well, its turning into 10 cents. Sorry.) I'm not convinced by the arguments against Silver and Bronze awards. Saying that it is meaningless because there might be a 5 vote difference between 3rd and 4th place sort of assumes that there will be more than a 5 vote difference...

My personal opinion is that the only thing "klunky" about virtual feats is the term "virtual feat". If it were called a class ability like all the other class abilities there wouldn't be any problem. They just tried to save space and time (theirs and the readers) by using a too-clever term to...

Just change Knock so it gives a +10 or +15 to the Open Locks check and move on from there. The mid level Rogue who specializes in this sort of thing will have a much higher modifier anyway so it won't be worthwhile to memorize the spell. Don't forget that an invisible (corporeal) creature can...

Re: Re: Re: Re: OGC and the Consumer Someone already has done so in this thread, although it was done without fanfare. You can check the "teasers" or "demos" of the products on the short-list -- they include the OGL and copyright designation for free.

Yep, the Ice Storm of '98 was a nasty one. About 10 days of freezing rain in January, followed by more typical -15C weather for the rest of the winter. The conifers fared better than the deciduous trees, though. The pine branches were bent flat to the trunks (and the trunks bent over...

I will pile on with my dislike of the Dwarven War Axe Familiarity (and, hypothetically, the Elven Thinblade). It has always made me wonder at how the Urgrosh or Orc Double Axe came to be associated with their respective races. After all a Dwarven Fighter couldn't have all of the respective...

For a d20 creature coloring book, try this: http://www.rpgnow.com/product_info.php?products_id=587& Its the Celebrity Edition. Cheers

I generally impose an upkeep fee on my players. I'm not overly picky about it, but about once per level at an appropriate time (when they are in the city) I make everyone pay up 20gp at lower levels and as much as 500gp at higher levels to account for all of the nickle-and-diming that has been...

I agree completely with Numion. Your best attack really just provides your Baseline Damage at high levels. Your subsequent attacks provide a bit of suspence. Don't forget that monsters have a lot more HP than in previous editions -- if there were no baseline damage combat would take a lot...

Imagine you are a 12 year old reading the 1e PHB for the first time trying to figure out what it means to move 6 inches in 10 minutes. ;) Cheers

I've found fighters' power to scale nicely. Even though you can get Spring Attack, WWA and Great Cleave by level 9 or so, if you do take this option you won't have weapon focus or specialization in your primary weapon let alone a ranged weapon. Then there's Quick Draw so you can switch from...
