That's the way I'd do it as well. There's also the option of letting the caster choose the square and then randomly determining which corner to use - but that works better for distance spells (like fireball).

I need a higher Max Dex on my mithril shirt and can't recall which book the "Nimbleness" modification comes from (or whether it made it into 3.5). Could someone point me to the source please? I believe that it ups the Max Dex of a suit of armor by 2, for the price of a +1 enhancement.

I'd be interested in hearing from people who have played d20 Future and the (revised) d20 Star Wars system. At first glance, I think the Star Wars system might be better for the ship-to-ship stuff, and it should be feasible to just splice that into your d20 Future campaign no? You even have...

In last weekend's game, my summoned wolf bit a skeleton and the game ground to a halt while we tried to determine if the bite was piercing, slashing, bludgeoning, none, or some combination there of. Where is this little tidbit of information hidden in the D&D 3.5 tomes?

Can you stand up from prone and then take a free 5ft step?

I'm making a human Fighter/Rogue who uses a spiked chain. He has Weapon Finesse and Power Attack and I'm looking for another weapon that can benefit from both of these (especially the two-handed power attack). The rapier is the best I can find, but I'm not sure that it really makes sense to use...

If I had a day job, it would probably involve Photoshop :) I'm a stay-at-home-dad at the moment, which is why I have the time to spend on deckplans and such.

Thanks for the help, that looks like a great spell to empower then. Well, I guess it is 4th level though, so the Minor Metamagic Rod ain't goin to do it. :D

This does "d6+caster level (max +15)" to something that touches you. If empowered, is the "caster level" part also increased? If so, is it still limited to +15?

I'll second that. It just doesn't make sense that Enemy A can be killed just because Enemy B drunk a potion.

That looks a lot like d20 Star Wars, except for the multipliers (nothing is multipliedin d20 SW). Having a crit go straight to wounds and multiply damage seems far too deadly. Maybe it would be ok for d8 and d6 weapons though (rather than th 3d6 blasters I'm used too :) ).

I found a nice solution in d20 Modern with respect to gernades: The caster picks a target square and then rolls a d4 to determine which corner of that square is the center of the effect. So if a wizard is trying to have a fireball end between the orc and the adjacent elf, he has a 50% chance...

The general rule for critical hits is to multiply bonuses (like strength and power attack) but not bonus dice (like sneak attacks or lawful damage).

I'd be interested in knowing how it compares to the original. Just flipping through the d20 it seemed the feel had changed a lot - but maybe that was just the art (I haven't read it in depth).

It's a pre-req for Solider too, for what that's worth...

I'd second what is said above. Starships, Equipment, Hero's Guide, Power of the Jedi. You can run for quite a while with just the Core though (assuming you do your own setting detail).

The Fading Suns setting by Hollistic does a great job of mixing sci-fi with medivalism. It would not be much of a jump from there to fantasy.

Even if it is set in "modern" times, it is still an imaginary world governed by your imagination. A generator works exactly like the GM thinks it should work, regardless of how they work in 'real life'. As GM, take your best guess and stick to it. Don't let players throw "reality" in your face...

The level of spell (ie. Magic Missile vs Fireball) does not affect the caster level check for overcoming SR, so I do no think that the number of ranks in a Force Skill should be a factor either. If you have a lot of ranks but few Force use levels, then you are very skilled with that one...

On a similar note, does anyone happen to know if there is going to StarWars d20 update to that "Starships of the Galaxy" book? I'm making up ships myself, and that's a good a guideline as any, but it seems it should be updated to "d20 SW Revised" by now...
