    Adventuring Packs

    The module you were thinking of is The Lost City (I think that's the name). It had a buried temple in the desert. It is a great idea. Many times I've wanted to just get started (especially at higher levels) and the adventuring gear was something we'd just say "I've got armour+2, weapon+3, oh...

    Using pre-Columbian South American cultures for campaign background

    My campaign world is based on a Mayan background. It picks up when the Mayans "disappeared" from Earth to escape a disaster and landed on another planet (in another universe who knows). I've done research into the astrology, calendar, myths, and so forth to form the basis of my world and its...

    PEACH- My alternate combat system

    You do realise that the defence roll is actually part of d20 as it stands. Everyone is assumed to be 'taking 10' on their defence thus you start with an AC of 10. All you are doing is changing that assumed value and rolling it. Now to your points about DR based on armour ... Unearthed Arcana...

    Help me calculate Race LAs

    From the point of view of a DM that sees the PHB races as the major population of the standard world and that is why the LA adjustments for creatures are higher than expected - to keep the population focused on the PHB races. Pure Izeroks: With the use of the human bonus skill points, the clan...

    Gaming Food

    Originally it was pizza ... but since my wife and I moved into the new house, we have been providing an actual meal (steak and side in general) at the cost of a small fee for ingredients from the players. Now and then we do go for pizza from the local pizza place that is fantastic. Drinks most...

    BoNS, Diamond Mind, Bounding Assault (pp 62)

    And you can cross hindering terrain (which stops a charge) correct?

    BoNS, Diamond Mind, Bounding Assault (pp 62)

    Greetings, reading this specific maneuver, it looks like a standard charge action (with the +2 to hit bonus) but with the -2 AC penalty. Is that all the maneuver allows (for a 4th level maneuver it's pretty weak)? Or have I read it correctly and it ignores terrain thus allowing a charge with...

    Tome of Battle: The Book of Nine Swords: Proto-Review

    I just picked this book up and I liked it. I disagree that it is badly organised. The essence of the system is setting up the character with feats and maneuvers/stances and letting them fly. I don't see myself referencing the book too often. The book could have done without the monsters IMHO...

    House Rule: Battle Queue instead of rounds

    I did state at the end of my post that I understood there was only a single initiative in d20 and that the system I used in the other two roleplaying games was round based. In your single initiative case there is no real difference except that I feel that high BAB characters would take...

    There was a PrC in the Book of Evil Deeds that dealth with vermin (can't remember the name exactly) but they could use vermin (insects etc) to form chitin armour etc around themselves.

    House Rule: Battle Queue instead of rounds

    This system is very similar to one printed in a splatbook for Rolemaster. It was also adapted for Rifts by myself since I disliked the standard Rifts combat. You've got the nuts and bolts of it all ... however what was also used in the original version is an initiative roll that represented the...

    Eric Noah's Info

    Making books interconnected isn't hard at all. Look at the d20 Modern set of splatbooks with the requirement of d20 Future. There are 4? I think that require you to have purchased something else besides the core book.

    Dynamic (for Laptop Users) Character Sheet ?

    PREAMBLE: Personally I love your spreadsheet and when I replicate things I don't post them anywhere. They are for my campaign only. And before it is asked, my players don't even have a copy of the stuff I replicate. Because if I gave it to them I would be distributing copyrighted material. This...

    Dynamic (for Laptop Users) Character Sheet ?

    Actually according to copyright laws throughout the world, they uphold the copyright of other nations and enforce their own additions. On a side note regarding the hosting of the material, it is being done for profit. Granted it is an indirect profit (you need to purchase his sheet to gain...

    Eric Noah's Info

    First up, I don't think Mr Noah would blindly post what he did without checking and getting some information - so I'm believing it. Second - every company who is trying to make money is always looking at their future. Look at Microsoft and the countless versions of Office that are created and...

    d20 Past Shaman

    In the Shaman class, one of the abilities is Spirit Animal(?) or something similar (no book in front of me right now). The power allows you to become a larger version of your animal companion. The flavour text makes the implication that you are merging with your animal companion, however it...

    Dynamic (for Laptop Users) Character Sheet ?

    Of course the question on my lips is ... is it Mac compatible. As always I'm willing to give you feedback :)

    Point Buy System

    I use the 25 point buy in general because all monster CRs are based on 25 point buy for the PCs. The more points you give them, the easier time they will have getting through encounters. I started with 32 point buy when I first started (I wanted heroic PCs) but they were more than heroic. With...

    Frenzied Bezerker BBEG TPK

    As pointed out by previous posters, the 1/2 Orc Bbn 6/FB 4 is not a possible build without some houseruling or something. Ignoring that, its a CR 10 encounter. The party was what? 7 & 8. Nothing in the original post stated that they had magic/spells/equipment beyond the norm for 7 & 8. You said...
