    I'm glad that you like it. Though I'm working under the auspices of BlackWyrm Games, I do 100% of the Future Armda production myself. The models are done in 3DSMAX and the maps in Photoshop. There are exterior shots of all the ships on my website: http://home.insightbb.com/~tir.anon/Shipyards.htm

    This small, PL-7 outpost is used as a base of operation by ConFed Security - the law enforcement officers of the space lanes. Whether the characters are just visiting (voluntarily or not), or looking for a place to call their own, this station can fit the bill. It comes complete with d20 stats...

    Sell me on True20

    I think that a Damage Save instead of having hit points is the main point of culture shock for those coming from D&D. If you can accept the new paradigm, the rest is pretty easy.

    It's the File

    Perhaps those items that work with ancient software should make a point of advertising the fact and all the rest should assume people are using operating systems written in this century...

    D&D 3.x Devoted Defender in 3.5?

    Thanks for the information, I'll look that new one up and see if either option works for my DM. I'm thinking of making a high-CON dwarven fighter and it would be nice to be able to use all those hit point to protect someone else as well.

    D&D 3.x Devoted Defender in 3.5?

    Did the Devoted Defender PrC make it into 3.5? (I didn't find it in Complete Warrior or Adventurer). If not, does this mean the 3.0 version is ok, or does it mean it is unbalanced?

    Explain bracing for a charge to me

    My house rule, in more detail, is thus: The first round of combat is always a "partial round". If everyone, or no-one, is surprised then everyone can act. Otherwise only non-surprised characters can act during that round.

    Explain bracing for a charge to me

    I have a house rule that the first round of combat is always a "partial" round, and only unsurprised characters can act during that round. One result is that to attack in the first round, you often have to charge. This has lead to readying vs charge to be a not-uncommon thing in my games. I...

    staking vamps

    A vampire can be killed by a stake to the heart. How does one handle this in game terms (lacking called shots, and them being immunes to crits etc.)? Does DR apply to staking attempts? If you put silversheen on a magic stake (to bypass DR), would it still count as a wooden stake, or does the...

    Attack routine while wildshaped

    Excellent. Thanks again for all of the information. I'm surprised that a bear cannot swipe twice with one paw, but so be it. And it will be interesting to use the dire weasle's Blood Drain and wolf's Trip abilities...

    Attack routine while wildshaped

    Could I get a page reference on that? I've been through the PHB and front of the Monster Manual and I'm not seeing where it talks about giving up iteratives to use the "primary/secondary" weapon model. I'm sure it must be there, but I can't find it and someone seems to have stolen the index out...

    Attack routine while wildshaped

    A 12th level druid turns into a dire bear. His BAB is +9/+3 and the bear has a 31 strength (a +10 bonus) Are the druids attacks like this: 2 claws at +19 and 1 bite at +14 Or like this: Claw at +19/+14 or Bite at +19/+14 In other words, does he fight like a bear (claw,claw,bite), or like...

    Wall of Fire

    So as long as the arrow slits were big enough (and they most likely are), they would not stop line of effect.

    Woodshape a magic item?

    I'm playing a druid and I have a Club +1 of Undead Bane that I would very much like to turn into a Dagger +1 of Undead Bane. Is there any reason I cannot just Woodshape, and then Ironwood the thing (maybe after whittling it down a bit)? The spell does not seem to be restricted to non-magical...

    Looking for magical way to gain weapon feats

    In 3.5, is there a magical way (item, spell, etc.) to gain a martial weapon profficiency, or weapon finesse, or two-weapon fighting? In 3.0, I would use something like the Wieldskill spell and the Gloves of the Balanced Hand (or whatever they were called). Did anything along those lines carry...

    Grapple - Str check or not?

    If you can make iterative attacks and use the iterative to make another grapple check, does it use your BAB -5? What about a defender forced to make multiple grapple checks in a round? I'm guessing they use the same mods for every one right?

    Crit with Harm?

    EDITE: Sorry, I misread the text and so have erased my nonsensical comments.

    Crit with Harm?

    So by the rules as written, a Harm spell can crit because you have to roll a touch attack to hit with it? That ambiguity with the 1hp thing seems like prime FAQ material since the rules as written (in my opinion anyway) seem to contradict the designer's intent.
