    Laptop DM - What do I need?

    Do what I did...work through the tutorial in the manual...twiddle with it for about a month (be sure to check the website for other ppl's maps you can download and get ideas from)...then...and this is very important... DON'T THINK ABOUT OR TOUCH IT FOR A MONTH :) Then go back. *much* easier...

    Players Roll All the Dice: 11 vs 12?

    Oh...I see, Nail. So monsters never roll...I thought they also rolled a d20 and added their attack mod (as usual) So...if monsters never have to roll, how can they score critical hits?

    Laptop DM - What do I need?

    I really like PCGen...it's got great support and even if you're a programming-know-nothing it's easy to edit the lists to make your own campaign specific feats etc. I've twiddled with the new GM Gen function they've added recently and I think it's got good potential. I haven't tried RPM, but...

    Players Roll All the Dice: 11 vs 12?

    What book are you talking about? Is this something from Unearthed Arcana? Sounds like a nightmare to me ;) Might be fun at low level, but our high level combat takes long enough...with the ranger, fighter, and paladin executing a withering 15+ attacks a round combined. Add to that a 'roll...

    Spot DC for invisible creatures

    "According to custserv (and I agree):" What? You...agree with custserv? Is it the end of times? ;)

    Grappling with a Flaming Sphere, a burning Web & a trapped Brown Bear?

    Wow. Um...I can help with 3) The elf would be considered vulnerable to the flaming sphere in any of the bear's squares. Think of the two as rolling and flopping around in that 10x10 area. I know if a bear had me I'd be wiggling like crazy to get away. It's similar to a person riding a...

    Spot DC for invisible creatures

    so does being invisible give you +20 to your hide? that seems to be what y'all are implying...but is that actually spelled out anywhere? (sage/dragon/etc) the SRD only says: "A Spot check result higher than 20 generally lets you become aware of an invisible creature near you, though you can’t...

    Blur issues

    Good point, PS On a related note, if your fighter buddy works his way up to blink (ring of blinking or whatever) which has a 50% miss chance...I'd strongly recommend that he take potions of healing with him ;)

    Blur issues

    Yup...from the SRD: "The subject’s outline appears blurred, shifting and wavering. This distortion grants the subject concealment (20% miss chance). A see invisibility spell does not counteract the blur effect, but a true seeing spell does." Unless you've got a way of seeing through it, your...

    Can a bear wear rings?

    Yeah, I've seen that, youspoonybard...but that's referring to items specifically made for animals, I think. This is an item made for a humanoid trying to fit onto an animal. Alas.

    Can a bear wear rings?

    Can a bear wear rings? This is a different way of asking if a druid with a Ring of Protection + X wildshapes into a bear...is that ring still functional or does it meld with his/her body? Thanks!

    Cost for Masterwork Cold Iron weapon?

    The SRD says "Weapons made of cold iron cost twice as much to make as their normal counterparts." Now let's say I want a masterwork cold-iron kama. When do I double the price for the cold iron...before or after making the item masterwork? So does it cost: (2 for kama x 2 for cold iron) + 300...

    Wildshape (Easy Question)

    Yeah, I'm inclined to agree with you, JGSugden. The SRD doesn't clarify (no surprise there). The reason I asked was IF you say that HPs change with the con change during Wildshape (i know this is contested) then it might be important to know if you have to switch back to base before activating...

    Wildshape (Easy Question)

    This should be a straight forward question...but it may not be. Let's hope it is. Wildshape is a supernatural ability and in the desc. it says: "Changing form (to animal or back) is a standard action and doesn’t provoke an attack of opportunity." Ok, that's clear...so my question is: If you...

    Swarm vs Web??

    Yeah, I know it fills the area, Kyramus...I wasn't thinking of it as a wall...I was thinking of it as a porous obstacle to pass through. The point is moot though, since it doesn't look like the sage or dragon or anything of that sort has said anything about it and it seems open to...

    Swarm vs Web??

    Yeah, we considered the web stopping the swarm...but I had a conceptual problem with the web stopping the swarm...even if it's treated as an individual monster. It's virtually amorphous...and under the swarm description the swarm can fit through any crack or opening any of its individual...

    Dancing Weapon attacks

    I dunno...that seems a little over powered to me even if it doesn't include bonuses. A +4 equiv to basically add another fighter? Even if said PC moves and attacks once the dancing weapon would still get a full attack action...seems a little munchkin (and broken) to me.

    Swarm vs Web??

    How does a Web spell effect a swarm? We just played an adventure where my players ran across a hellwasp swarm in a tainted forest. The Rogue/Wizard/Arcane trickster threw down a web spell right down on the swarm. We weren't really sure how to handle the situation ...does every single creature...

    Dancing Weapon attacks

    Neat, this is relevant to our session last weekend. Has the Sage spoken to this...or has custserv anywhere? Or andy...or any of the usual suspects? This was our setup (not my character, but I'll try to get it right) A 20th level ranger with a dancing scythe, a longsword, and a dagger. Two...
