Our group already does use a d20 for concealment and other percentages. If you have concealment, the character gets a defensive roll -- on a 1 2 3 or 4 the shot misses. We do the same for stabilization and total concealment.

Here's my first attempt at the revised poison rules to work on a round-by-round basis ... Thoughts? Poison Type Initial Damage Secondary Damage Per Round Effect Price Nitharit Contact DC 13 0 3d6 Con DC 11 – 1d3 Con 650 gp Sassone leaf residue Contact DC 16 2d12 hp 1d6 Con DC 16 – 1d3 hp, 1...

I'm likely to buy the PHB and DMG and MM, but I've pretty much made up my mind that I won't be playing 4e. I'll take the ideas I like and house rule them into my 3.5 game. One of the reasons I like playing 3.5 is the nostalgic elements that remain from AD&D, on top of a pretty solid system...

Yeah, I saw your rules, and I'm looking for more of an 'all or nothing' effect, rather than a damage effect -- clerics get lots of those options with searing light, etc. Turning undead should provide a Sanctuary effect against the cleric as long as they present their holy symbol, and anyone...

Okay, here's my thoughts for turning undead First, turning should keep the creature at bay. So a cleric making a turn attempt creates a Sanctuary effect for 1 minute against undead only. They have to make a Will Save (DC 10 + 1/2 cleric level + Wis mod) to negate the effect each round...

4th edition ideas Races IDEA * I like the idea that racial effects are unlocked as the character advances in level so the choice of race is still relevant at higher levels, but I'm not sure how I want to implement this. Classes IDEA * Paladin's smite ability is weak, but I don't like the...

Existing Campaign Rules Rolling a character: When rolling stats (4d6, keep the best 3) all characters must have at least +3 as a total of modifiers, and at least one stat of at least 14. Alternatively, players may create characters with the point buy method (28 pts). Action Points (UA 122): v...

Hey all, The more I see of 4th edition, the more I realize it's not the game for me -- I like the feel and flavor of 3.5. However, there are some areas that could use improvement, and since everyone is revisiting rules, it gives me a bunch of ideas on what to fix. I'll keep this thread going...

Green Ronin's Black Company campaign sourcebook had a number of 'masterwork' qualities added to items such as 'viscious', 'well-balanced', 'sturdy' and the like. It would probably help.

I'm keen to create racial progression tables to make being an elf or dwarf significant at 20th level without introducing too much power creep. Advice would certainly be welcome!

Hi all, While a lot of the speculation on 4e leaves me cold, some designer commented that race is significant at low levels, but not relevant in the higher levels -- they suggested that 4e would have racial abilities that become available as characters level up. I think this is a great idea...

Hi guys, Hoping someone can help me -- I need to know what the replacement value for my rpg collection is. Can anyone tell me what the canadian replacement value would be for every WOTC book put out there from 3.0 on, less the Eberron books? I'd consult my library, but it needs replacing ...

Hi all, I'm looking at creating lycanthropes that are werespiders and I have some questions. 1) Lycanthropy says animals only. I can't see anything broken about using vermin, am I missing something? 2) Giving a werespider scent seems dumb. Should I remove this? Should I give something else...

Hey all, In a FR campaign, is it reasonable to assume that the Shadow Weave is the dominant form of magic on the Plane of Shadows? Curious how you would handle this ...

Well, on that level, I should elaborate I keep a MS Word doc journal on my laptop to track the dates, unidentified treasure, monsters and CRs to give XP for, and major plot points discovered or improvised...

- I use a printout of an initiative chart with Alea magnets for initiative - Alea magnets for conditions - bins of D&D minis sorted by type (aberrations, undead, etc) - Tact-tiles - my laptop with D20srd.org and DM Genie. - laptop plays background MP3 music - bar fridge - vinyl DM screen with...

I prefer DM Genie ... www.dmgenie.com

Hey all, I'm toying with the idea of taking the Leadership feat for my dwarven Clr5/Rog1 of Vergadain to gain an earth mephit (a la Races of Stone). But I'm not sure how to advance it -- what would be a reasonably durable and complementary cohort? Here's what I have to work with ... Mephit...

Thanks guys! I'm playing a multiclassed N cleric 3/rogue 1 who rebukes undead, so I'm skill oriented and not great in combat with a low BAB. I'd like to be buffing characters, but I'm leaning towards spells with swift or immediate casting times so I can still try to flank and attack my...

Hey all, I'm fairly new to playing a cleric, and I'd really appreciate what spells people have found most useful in play. They can be PHB or Spell Compendium or whatever. I'm looking for what would be the best choices for my dwarven cleric with the Luck and Trickery domains ... Thanks!
