    bonuses to ability score won't stack?

    Yes, it does mention type. It says "enhancement." I'm getting the impression that when you read that paragraph you just skipped right over that, eh?! Other types are inherent, morale, sacred/profane, circumstance, competence, and so on.

    Web-based Maptools-like program for PbP games?

    There's also ScreenMonkey (google it). The basic version was free when I played with it a few years ago, with the extended version being about $20 or so, IIRC. You do have to leave your server up, though. It's not wiki-based, for example. Although I GUI-based wiki environment would be...

    Quick HOWTO questions for Mac Mail (was "is Mac OSX more stable than Windows?)

    That's correct. Okay, I tried it. It does exactly what I thought it would do: new messages coming in are put into the designated folder. But that was only half of the question. The other half was how do I force the copy of OUTBOUND messages to go into that same folder, too? Perhaps this is...

    Quick HOWTO questions for Mac Mail (was "is Mac OSX more stable than Windows?)

    Forked from: Is The Apple OS More Stable Than MS Windows? Well, if you can solve most of that stuff "almost immediately", I'm ready and waiting to hear from you. Hence this new thread, so as not to further derail the original one. :) Let's take the issues one at a time: Mail doesn't find...

    Is The Apple OS More Stable Than MS Windows?

    Well, Mail doesn't seem to find dates that are just typed in as plain text into a message. I understand that it does now in Leopard, but I'm not there (yet). I'd like more powerful filtering capabilities. Using KMail on Linux, I can tell it that when I reply to a message in a folder, that the...

    Astral Construct vs. Shadow

    Wow, that's a bummer! I no longer want that feat! Thank you for the clarification and the quote from the FAQ. We'll be switching to PathFinder after the Beta comes out, but PF doesn't have any psionics in it (I do have the "U" addendum to PF for psionics, though). When we switch, I'm...

    Combining extradimensional spaces

    My campaign is strictly Core 3.5E, so my ruling is easy: if you cast a spell there's no problem, if you try to bring a permanent extradimensional object into another one expect fireworks. So rope trick, dimension door, and teleport are all fine with magic items like haversacks and bags of...

    Astral Construct vs. Shadow

    Yes, your vampire analogy is a very good one. Vampires only do energy drain on a successful slam attack. But suppose the vampire is pinning their opponent? Surely they get a (relatively) free slam attack, right? I've never like the grappling rules for just this reason; creatures with attacks...

    Does Jump provoke AoOs?

    I would simply say that you must be at the higher elevation for the completion of the standard action that involves your attack. So jumping up wouldn't suffice because you can't maintain that elevation separate from the jump, but being on horseback is fine. Of course, I also rule that fly...

    Astral Construct vs. Shadow

    Actually, I was thinking of it more like a spellcaster holding a charge, say something like Ghoul Touch. What about grappling? If the construct grapples a foe, do they get automatic energy damage every round that the construct is in contact with the other creature? Or should it need to make...

    Astral Construct vs. Shadow

    Transdimensional Power, and golem immunity I'm taking the Transdimensional Power feat this level. So now my powers can affect incorporeal creatures without a miss chance (they work like force effects). Now what happens if I use the feat and create an astral construct? Will it still have the...

    Is The Apple OS More Stable Than MS Windows?

    Good point. Most people treat their computers (and networks) pretty sloppily (is that a word?) and they haven't the first clue about security. The ones that think they do are the worst. ;) If you get the Mac, you can install the free VMware beta of Fusion to see if you like virtualization as...

    Astral Construct vs. Shadow

    Auxiliary question: if an astral construct has an energy attack (such as via the Ectopic Form (Irridescent Serpent) feat, their slam attack does an additional 1d6 of energy damage. Do they have to use a slam attack or can they use a melee touch?

    Conversion Library broken

    Seeming error in the database: This happened each time after multiple "refresh" attempts. I'm guessing the latest board conversion didn't get everything. :)

    Astral Construct vs. Shadow

    Wow, so you think that using those feats to create an astral construct produces a "non-normal" construct in terms of not being able to combine, for example, the Boost Construct feat to give it an extra choice from one of the menus? Or when you say "mix and match abilities" are you referring to...

    Astral Construct vs. Shadow

    Wow, good catch. I hadn't noticed that at all. So I have the Ectopic Form feat (Irridescent Serpent), so that my constructs can always have an energy effect. I usually choose fire or electricity, but cold and sonic are available also. Since energy attacks bypass DR, those attacks would work...

    Astral Construct vs. Shadow

    In a nutshell, can an astral construct hit an incorporeal shadow without a miss chance? It seems like the answer should be "no", as they are ectoplasm and not a force effect, but I thought there might be other factors at work. Note that this question is from a campaign without magic-psionics...

    Needing a fantasy calendar maker

    Okay, I'll email it tonight or tomorrow. :) I'm not that interested in a calendar maker right now, but I doubt it would really be that tough. Probably not more than a day's worth of effort. If he doesn't want to work on it, I will. And I'll put a nice enough web front-end on it that it can...

    MAPTOOLS virtual tabletop: anyone done all ofthe MM tokens yet?

    I don't know where I got them, but trying Google'ing for "brisinge book monster 1", since that's the folder I have them in on my laptop. I'm pretty sure the first word is the user name...

    Players needed in 34639 (Land O Lakes, north of Tampa/FL)

    Sorry, no. It's a 3.5E conversion of a module originally written for 3.0E by Monte Cook (author of the 3E DMG). The conversion itself is already done, so there aren't any on-the-fly changes. :) I mentioned above that I'm thinking of taking this game digital. I might have some other players...
