    Forest of Doom - IC Thread

    Jonath Cailan: Woo! Keena pulls out the big guns! Jonath's hands relax away from his quiver, and he breathes a quick sigh of relief. "Thanks, Keena - I remember hearin' you're supposed to use a spear when huntin' boar, and here's me without polearm to my name." His eyes twinkle mischeviously...

    Next year, I'm back to running AD&D

    That's okay; we can double-report it for being really boring spam, at that. :D So, how about that 1E? I have to admit, my only experience with 1E was playing Pool of Radiance, so it's fascinating to read all the opinions on the various books and options.

    Scribe Scroll questions: DC 5 or 10 + level, and why the failure chance?

    Yep! I'd forgotten that that was available, too.

    Jonath Cailan: Jonath turns sidelong to the boar, and casually drops a hand to the arrows at his waist, counting them by touch. "Aye, Keena - if you can calm this thin' down, that'd be a treat. Nice piggie. Niiiiiiiice piggie."

    Scribe Scroll questions: DC 5 or 10 + level, and why the failure chance?

    This is why the Spellcraft DC can't be set too terribly high. If it was, then you'd have Clerics taking the Brew Potion feat who couldn't actually brew anything meaningful. :D

    Scribe Scroll questions: DC 5 or 10 + level, and why the failure chance?

    The point is that you can also create items for which you do not have the requisite spells known / memorized (in some cases). For each prereq you're missing, the DC increases by 5. Therefore, a Wizard with a high-int and lots of ranks in Spellcraft can create just about any item he wants to...

    Jonath Cailan: "You're probably right, Paaq. And that sounds like a whole pack of animals off to the north - I wouldn't want to be caught in the open with them and whatever might be waitin' for us here. I might've called yeh a bit paranoid, but that was before we were ambushed by a deliberate...

    D&D 5E (2014) cancelled 5e announcement at Gencon??? Anyone know anything about this?

    It depends on the system. Saga Edition, IMO, lacks enough healing resources to have more than a 15-minute adventuring day routinely. The remainder of your resources, however, are effectively per-encounter resources, so there's little pressure to have a 15-minute adventuring day. d20 Revised...

    Free Spell Cards - Perram's Spellbook Updated - Ultimate Combat!

    You missed "awesome" in your descriptors. I've got my Magus's spellbook collected in a stack of cards for our Rise of the Runelords campaign. I keep my memorized spells laid out in front of me, to make it easier to remember the options I have available. A quick addition that you might want to...

    Jonath Cailan: Jonath rushes over to Keena, trying to pull her away from the stump. He looks back at it, and curses. "What the hell kind of woods are these?"

    Homebrew spell: Baeril's Lizardskin Coat

    While your spell isn't going to be promulgated very far at first, there's no reason that it couldn't be in the future, and there's little reason that, should you make a scroll of it, a bard or sorcerer couldn't pick it up and use it without making a UMD check, since they can both access the...

    Homebrew spell: Baeril's Lizardskin Coat

    If it were classed as a Bard spell, then yes, a bard would be able to pick up your scroll and cast it.

    D&D 5E (2014) cancelled 5e announcement at Gencon??? Anyone know anything about this?

    Take out ~2 or 3 more squads. Fill in with cheap wand and scroll charges as necessary. Then teleport away to home to rest and recuperate so that they can do it again tomorrow. Past a certain level, it gets really, really, really hard to pin down a prepared spellcaster, because of that whole...

    A simple fix to balance fighters vs. casters ?

    Okay, damn message board cut off my XP comment. It was supposed to read: "I assume True Strike will be one of the first spells on that list? :)"

    Leveling Characters

    I hate this. I've never liked training rules (or "learn by doing" rules, much, either). The adventure is the training.
