    Immortal's Handbook continuation thread

    I feel the difference in ability scores is most important at low level, the example you're using yourself. You can't really be serious when you say that a freshly-created 1st-level character with 10 in every ability score is more or less the equal of a freshly-created 1st-level character with 18...

    Re: Question about the Revised Core Rulebooks Point of view 1 : it would be great, since I will probably use D&D 3.5, this way I won't have to convert the IH from D&D 3.0 to D&D 3.5 Point of view 2 : that would suck, since D&D 3.5 may suck, and I may not use it, which means I'll have the...

    My opinion would be that there is no need for a bonus if the spellcaster has a dragon. A dragon is already powerful enough as is. Even in the normal familiars (the ones in the PHB), the eagle (I do not have my books with me, but I think that's the one) doesn't give any bonus. I believe several...

    Upper Krust, where are you? [Immortal's Handbook]

    Which software are you using to send your email? It may happen that some software do not recognize the file system used by Windows (eg : not supporting file size longer than 8 letters) even though only (very) old software would have that problem. The other reason may apply if you're using a...

    Upper Krust, where are you? [Immortal's Handbook]

    Hi UK (and all others!) If you want, you can try to send me the file and I will try to make a pdf of it. I have both the latest Pagemaker (7.0 I believe) and the latest Acrobat (5.0 if I'm not mistaken) by Adobe. Merry Christmas (even if I'm a bit late) and Happy New Year to all!

    I like that one... I think it looks like the title font for the Penumbra sourcebooks by Atlas Games.

    Do you have any idea when that will be available? Will it give us a hint to what the layout of the IH will look like?

    Ultimate Creatures

    My opinion is that all those templates on top of a construct is a bit odd, even though all of the templates say that they can only be applied to "any creature", some of them say "any corporeal creature". Then, two half-templates seem a bit odd. You can be half elf - half celestial for example...

    Product Update (TLG)

    Will all this, as other books from Troll Lord Games, be available through Amazon.com? Being in Europe (maybe being in Belgium, I hear that the UK distribution system is faster), Amazon is the only way to have books before too long while not paying a lot for shipping fees.

    You're quite right... If you look at table 4-1 on page 101 of the dmg, it is clearly stated that an encounter with two monsters of CR 1 is EL2. However, this table seems to have problems for the EL of encounters with only one monster. For example, they say that an EL 19 encounter might consist...

    I will just answer a few things, since I believe my opinion is not needed on many subjects talked about here... Not true according to WotC, since they say a 1st-level character is CR 1 and a 2nd-level character is CR 2. According to them, an encounter against a 1st-level character would be EL 1...

    PCGen 4.1.4 is available

    Thanks! Now I KNOW that nothing has changed. It's better than to THINK that nothing has changed.

    OGC and what a RPG should be?

    If a company wants to keep his customers, it tries to make them happy. Have you seen a book about flowers and gardens in D&D? No. Why not? Because not many people would like it, and hence buy it. Customers would like to have access to a character generator with material from the books they buy...

    PCGen 4.1.4 is available

    Is there any news about the discussions with WotC? I haven't foolowed the evolution of the discussions for quite some time, and I don't feel like searching through the thousands of messages in the yahoo! group!

    But it would usually be the result of luck rather than anything else. For example, if you use the optional rule "Instant Kill" (DMG p64), three successive rolls of 20 on an attack kills instantly the creature. But if that would happen, I would most certainly not give the PC the XP the table says...

    The Nd20 system (Epic-level play rejigged)

    In light of recent events by Avalanche Press (Company bashing not desired)

    The problem I see is not that they decided not to send books for review anymore because they had received bad reviews in the past. The problem is that they seem to think that because they send free books, they are entitled to receive a good review even though they may not deserve it , which...

    Re: Re: Epiphany Then, publish it tomorrow, what are you waiting for! ;) Seriously, though, if it means it'll be even easier, then by all means, publish it like that. That'll enable us to see it sooner, and if it is easier to use, that will be even better...

    Re: Epiphany Does this mean you've received an answer from AV and that it isn't very positive for the IH? :( Anyway, I would prefer if the IH was easily compatible with D&Dg (read - if I don't have too much time to spend to work with the deities inside D&Dg), but I'd also like to see the work...
