    PDA? Which to buy?

    Also make sure you'll have support for your PDA if you do not buy it in Europe. I was working for a company making PDA's and computers, and there was no support at all for non-europeans PDA's, and paying support for non-european computers (except if you purchased the expensive worldwide...

    I'm on Tarquinas server with a character called Iforfave Essae, usually either in Mos Eisley or Mos Espa.

    Magic Staves got the shaft.

    Just out of curiosity, why is that? As a DM, I do not like the idea of magic items being craftable by powerful wizards, but when a PC in my group reaches high-level to have to tell him that "No, you can't create it"... I do agree that staves are a bit lame, being only higher-level wands... I...

    [contest] 12,345 Count Up Countdown! [Contest Over! Winners Announced!]

    I'd say on Sunday the 27th of July, 8.20 PM GMT. At that exact minute, I'll be in this world for exactly 23 years, so it would be fun if both things happened at the same time! :D

    It takes approximately 2-3 days to RPG Now to check a product they put it on sale, so, for us customers, it will be a bit longer than that. I would go for one a week too... Cheers

    Price of an item useable once a year

    Hello all! The fighter in my group has asked me how much it would cost to create a wondrous item (because non-adventurers would use it) that enables the user to cast plant growth once a year. She plans to offer the items to her family, so I am willing to be fair about the price, since it is...

    I do not entirely agree. Maybe UK overrated the ability scores, but you cannot say that high ability scores have no impact, whether at low level or high level. A wizard with 18 CON has twice the hp of the same wizard with 10 CON at level 1. Same thing for the spell DC of any class with spells. A...

    I mainly agree to everything you say in your post, except that part. I really believe Skill Focus should be +3 and not +2. The main reason is a balance factor compared to the many feats in the several WotC books that give +2 to two skills. Furthermore, in games developed after D&D, skill focus...

    I still think that some of the changes are not necessary, and could unbalance the game at low level. Skill focus +10? That means that a skill that can maximum be at +9 at level 1 (4 ranks, 5 for ability bonus if 18 + 2 for race) can be boosted to +19? Weapon focus +2? That means a level 1...

    Well, the job in itself is OK, the fact of entering in a routine a bit less to my taste! :p The fact is that you should be able to compare any modifier with any other modifier. Skill points should not be balanced with feats. They should be balanced with feats, ability score, special qualities...

    DRAGON Magazine monster index!

    I'll try to dig out my Annual #4 and maybe start converting monsters. When I read the Cormyr trilogy, I was really interested in the concept of old foes of the realm coming back to haunt today's king. It would fit perfectly in my Birthright campaign! ;)

    Re: Skills? Feats? What the heck! As I see it, feats and skill points are to be taken into account mainly for templates, or for "extra" Let's imagine a template that gives no bonus except two feats and 20 bonus skill points. It would give no modifier for bonus hit dice, no special attack, so...

    The main problem with this is that 14 ability points also mean a 7 ability bonus, which applies to skills. This bonus has an impact on skills. Let's imagine a wizard who get 14 more points to his INT score. That's a 7 bonus to alchemy, craft, knowledge arcana, scry, spellcraft, and maybe other...

    Are these 3rd or 2nd Edition? If this is second, has anyone got a conversion? Thanks ;)

    Last week end, I checked the movies that will be released this year, and when I saw 28 Days later, I immediately thought about your advice not to miss it! Oddly enough, the 3rd movie from the Lord of the Ring trilogy is not yet scheduled to be released in Belgium! :confused:

    Re: Re: Re: Immortals Handbook FAQ Even though I have not actually used any of these two books yet (yesterday, I killed my girlfriend's 19th-level character!), I would say that the ELH is much better than D&Dg for one simple reason. I think about 90% of the ELH can be useful to me, whereas all...
