    Questions about converting spells from 2E to 3E

    LEvel 5 seems fine, as Arcane eye if 4, and coor spray isn;t that powerful an effect. As for the school, this is a tough one. This uses three schools. Illusion, evocation and divination. What I would do is go diff and call it conjuration. Just like the power of summoned creatures don't...

    (OT) Undercutting your LGS. Your opinion wanted.

    asking customers Just a quick note about this. I don't own a store, but my Local store does pretty well. One of the reasons is because they do ask us a lot what we are interested in. Yes, sometimespeople don't know they will want somthing before they see it, but if you run a store, you...

    Sundering a ring?

    I know you were beign sarcastic blick, but I was just thinking about this and thought it was funny. You actually do have have cover 50% If the shot is missed because of the cover though, it hit the cover. Since the thing that is covering you is yourself, it cancels eachother out. As for the...

    Pounce.

    point is from kreynolds My point is... sorry not true. Means what was being said was not true. Thought it was clear. I did read the DMG page 61. You should read it again, and pay close attention to the first line. Then if you are DMing, you would know what the variant rule, that you do not...

    Monk and Quaterstaff - Please Help

    quote by artoomis --4. Since the Quarterstaff must be used with two hands, the monk CANNOT, while using the quarterstaff, choose to use BOTH the quarterstaff AND an unarmed attack (per the "Flurry" rules). She could, of course, simply hold the staff in one hand and use normal unarmed attacks...

    Monk and Quaterstaff - Please Help

    I would work it completley different. I would allow the monk to use the staff using his unarmed number of attacks. Each attack does normal str bonus damage. He could also flurry, gaining an extra attack but taking the -2 on all, again doing normal str damage. The reason is if you have house...

    sneak attack with improved invis.

    I am pretty sure this has been discusses before, but I have no idea where, so I'll ask the question. Does this seem really unbalanced. My party has a rogue and a wizard who work together well. The wizard makes scrolls for the rougue who then uses them and cast improved invis on himself. Then...

    Sundering a ring?

    I kind of like Evil GM idea. but I will try something even different. Because the ring moves with the user and the user protets his body, I would have the AC be that of the wearer, Plus the ring is fine giving a +8, plus half cover. That number to hit gets really high. But if you are very...

    Pounce.

    Sorry, not true. Page 120 of the PHB clearly states what constitutes surprise and what you can do in the surprise round. Nothing there that says anything about it being an variant rule. DMG pg 60 says that even if both combatants are aware of eachother, if the DM wishes he may run the first...

    Can you teleport an unwilling, but unconscious, person with you?

    Evil mage sits in the temple with the tied up virgin. Adventurers come in as the mage laughs. "Now she will be my sacrifice" He touches her on the shoulder and both teleport away. That sounds cool. Evil mage sits in the temple with the tied up virgin. Adventurers come in as the mage...

    conversion, magic fighting falconers.

    The falcoln does. It is trained for a very specific task. Disrupting spell casters. There is a prestige class with a more powerful bird which is very resistant to magic, but the regular birds do not attack on anything. That are trained to wait for somone using somatic and verbal components...

    conversion, magic fighting falconers.

    In my 2nd edition Game I had a class called KAzar. They were barbarians who grew up sharing an island with evil priests. When transfering them over, I thought the best way is have them be a race. LEt em know what you think of this for balance. I am shooting for ecl +0 in 2nd edit I gave them...

    Sundering a ring?

    I would say a worn item is different from an item being carried in your hand. Since you would only be able to get to half the ring (the other half behind the finger) I'd increase the modifier. Also, as somone asked,(not me specificly, but I'll act like it was) "I" couldn't cut a ring from a...

    low magic campaign

    By low magic I mean mostly little magic items. There will still be spells plenty, but +1 sword will be real hard to come by. I am looking mostly to see if anyone has come up with any good crafting system (how Tough it is to use metals like mitril, etc) and increasing the efectness of a weapon...

    low magic campaign

    My last game was very magic intensive. At level ten all the players had some great magic. The challenge was still there, but I want the next one to be diff. I am going to run a low magic campaign. I want to do some more with skills however. Does anyone have idea on how skill can be more...

    Cure x Wounds - Explain this

    This has kind of been said but I will say it in a diff way. 1st senario - lvl 1 fighter takes 9 points. 1 hp left. (The goblin stabs at you with his spear. It enters right through your chest and punctures your lung. You are in deep trouble.) Cleric casts cure light - (you can breathe much...

    [OT] Spider-Man...who's interested? (possible spoilers)

    I think Kraven would be an awesome villian. It is the right time for him, just as spidey is getting popular. He wouldn't be too hard to do. I just like it. (I could have sworn I saw a picture of a guy in the Rhino costume a while ago. Not sure if that means anything, but I seem to remember...

    [OT] A KNIGHT'S TALE: Um, what's up with that?

    I never noticed the music in the movie (beside "We will rock you"). I thought the movie was great. Even better cause it was kinda a date movie and the GF loved it too.

    [OT, Star Wars] 3 new reviews for Episode II - AotC

    I just had the funniest thought. George Lucas is sitting there writing TPM. "hmm, ok, let add a stupid character that annoys everyone. That always pisses people off. Let make the kid say woopee a few time, that will get them groaning." Then he looks up at the imaginary camera and peg a...
