    The most challenging part of NWN

    I'm using CS Classic, via a standard DUN connection. All the parental controls are turned off. MOST ports seem to be open, but CSC, NOT CS2000, is blocking access to key ports for "advanced" internet uses, things like IRC and Telnet suddenly, for no apparant reason.

    How do i get beat those epic level spellcraft DC's ???

    My only assumption is that there are epic-level feats that might help to counter these. For example. Epic Will Prerequisites: Iron Will x2, Level 21+ Your Willpower is legendary, allowing you to shrug off all but the greatest mind-affecting magics with ease. You gain +10 to your Will...

    The most challenging part of NWN

    I am beginning to STRONGLY suspect Compuserve Classic ( coughcoughAOLcough) is blocking access to some of the ports needed. I can NOT log in to an online game to save my life. I once picked a game with a 218 ping time and let it sit for an hour to be sure, and the screen stayed BLANK. Data is...

    Alternative HP systems and other altered d20 mechanics

    This is more or less what I've been trying to get UK to admit. The system types I've seen detailed are as follows Logical: Has a basis in fact that follows through to reasonable conclusions. Realistic: Details are planned out meticulously so that at the end of every hit the DM has little...

    The (quintessential) paladin prestige class

    Jerid For "Standard" champions you have the "Divine" prestiege classes from the FRCS book. Although I suspect you want something a little more customized than that.

    Is Hide Spell overpowered?

    Personally, I look at ANYTHING from S&S studios with a grain of salt. Just check out the Body of Corean line in R&R if you don't know what I mean. That said, I'd call this +3 OR make Silent and Still Spells prerequisites. This just has too many applications, especially from armor-wearing...

    Dex conferring "to hit" as opposed to Str

    I think this may be why we discarded it, although large weapons are still required to use Strength and nothing but Strength. We may also have proposed a feat that allowed you to use the Strenght bonus as AC (Using powerful blows to deflect lighter strikes in combat.) This way you have both...

    Dex conferring "to hit" as opposed to Str

    Here's an idea that my friends and I have tossed around. When using a light weapon or a rapier, Dexterity is automatically the relevant statistic for to-hit, strength determines damage. Weapon Finesse: As in PHB but can be applied to any medium weapon. New Feat: Precise Blows...

    The (quintessential) paladin prestige class

    Playing a Paladin is VERY difficult. I agree with the sentiment that not many people are up to the task. To further compound the problem, many DMs are ALSO not up to the task of judging a paladin character impartially, often resulting in leniency for alignment transgressions and minor vow...

    Adult: Guide to Unlawful Carnal Knowledge

    [bLike the werefox. Your idea on multiple partners works, although if I may add an addendum: If the subject of multiple attentions rolls low enough to fail three or more saves, s/he moves two steps up the scale unless a secondary Will (straight) save is made at DC 15 + 1 per partner. EDIT...

    HP Sharing feat? advice please

    Well..... To me, this whole concept really bothers me. Perhaps instead make it a spell (or spell ritual) with a permanent duration, draining two points of Constitution permanently, that works as the first feat. If one "brother" dies, the other must make a Fort save at DC of 20 (Or per spell...

    [NWN] Cursed Items

    I'm trying to figure out how to make an item that cannot be removed unless the character is under the effect of certain spells (Not sure if Remove Curse would actually work for this purpose.) Any ideas? EDIT: Added [NWN] to the thread title.

    NWN: Deviations from 3e.

    I would say that the blindsight means dragons can percieve and react to anything around them, whether they can see it or not. Essentially it works as a form of uncanny dodge for them, making them immune to sneak attacks, simply because you CAN'T make an attack on them unawares, which is how...

    Adult: Guide to Unlawful Carnal Knowledge

    This is what we have now, I think, but it doesn't account for situations where two people aren't really trying to "help" each other so much as trying to get to the other person.

    Alternative HP systems and other altered d20 mechanics

    Then you don't want what most people in this hobby refer to as a "realistic" damage system at all! (See Rolemaster, et al.) This is what I've been TRYING to get out of you. The very definition of realism is "exactly how detailed is each bloody cut, slash, impact, and incineration?" Not "how...

    Alternative HP systems and other altered d20 mechanics

    No. DBZ, for one thing, has less actual fighting. And a lot more episodes spent simply screaming at one another. Let me see if I'm getting this right. You're saying that, to simulate fights where people don't really suffer injury without being knocked out or killed completely, that a system...

    Alternative HP systems and other altered d20 mechanics

    Uhm. . . . . I was just going to ask one more thing, although it's probably silly. What's the problem with using hit points to simulate a "reality" where people tend to take massive hits and aren't affected by them? To use Ranma 1/2 as the example again, the characters are regularly hit with...

    [Very Off-Topic] What's my MHz?

    Celerons. . . . With PII Celerons, I say. . . good feakin' luck. The things are pure @#%@!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The PIII Celeron, however, is a nice little piece of work. Half the price of a true PIII, and the things work equally as well at the same speed. Intel really shot themselves in the...

    Punching and Touch Attack

    Sooo....it comes down to one question. . . What are SPIKED gauntlets? Are they an extension of unarmed strikes, or are they a weapon in their own right? The former, and they work with spells. The latter, and you can't use the spikes to deliver the touch attack. Personally, I could go either...
