Fact: most spellcasters max out Concentration Your suggestion would definately be giving spellcasters 2 spells per round AND if they have Quicken-ed spells then it is 3 per round. That's unbalancing. I'm going to assume that Full Round Actions are now = 2 Standard Actions or else that is...

Just a quick headsup to fellow Mac Users. Although I'm not a regular PCGen user, I've tested it with the new Java now downloadable for Tiger. Nothing seems to be wrong with it. Speed changes are negligible if any. To use the new version, change the pcgen.sh file to execute the Java engine...

I know you don't want to be told about another system being better ... and you're set on GURPS, however my suggestion is related to the fact that you have been DMing D20 for 5 years. Unearthed Arcana (which is Open Source and most of it is at http://www.d20srd.org/) has many variants that will...

The difference is just to add the -Xms bit to the command line in the pcgen.sh file. So you would create a pcgenmac.sh file and we can run it from that. After adding the memory allocation ... it has improved somewhat (I have a gig of memory though so I've given it 512mb each way). D

Okay so its a memory allocation issue ... would it be an idea for you guys to prepackage such a term file with the release at all? Just a suggestion. D

Are there any plans for speeding up the Mac version of PCGen? Or should Mac users write it off? D

PC Gen tends to run really slowly on the Mac for some reason. Anyways ... for the SRD I use a most excellent HTML version by Andragor. You can get it from http://www.andargor.com/ Although not specifically for the Mac it does its job well. He has some other utilities you might like too...

Yeah I would have probably ruled the same way, was just checking if there had been any "official" word on the topic. How about Empathic Trasnfer, Forced? Could I use that after an Empathic Transfer? The Forced trasnfers hit point damage which, by description, implies that if I take multiple...

Greetings, just say I manifest Empathic Transfer to transfer wounds from an ally to myself. Does this classify as taking damage? Specifically, if I have already activated Share Pain, Forced (target is forced to share damage with me), would the Empathic Transfer hurt them as well? D

I may have missed someone posting the following simple question ... If a PC were to take leadership ... would his/her cohort count as part of the party's effective level when determining what kind of encounters they can face? If the answer is Yes then the reverse (NPC with cohort) should be...

What exactly is wrong with the program? And if you do get hold of a later version I'd love to hear about it. D

Actually the rules support the theory that you take damage it is removed form your hit points immediately. It doesn't support the theory that each hit point of damage reduces your hit points by 1 with a pause in between each point loss. Citing the rules (from d20 SRD under combat). and It...

My personal opinion is that you start off as one of the stereotypical characters that are portrayed by the Iconics. This gives you possible level advancement information (you can find advancing stats on the WOTC website I think) so you can see how a character changes level to level and learn...

"It's The Village People ... YMCA!" Early during my DMing career I described the village, and how the inhabitants came out to laud and honor the adventurers. Of course back then it was described as "the village people dance and sing your praises all night long". So from then on every pseudonym...

I've run this adventure for a group after 3.5 conversion, they were very high level super-powered freaks of adventuring nature. They completed it successfully, however they did die multiple times, and their main Fighter became a Yuan-Ti Abomination (slight modification I made to the dungeon)...

Well historically there were come clans that lived in small villages in the hills and were deemed barbarians by the civilised people. So it is not impossible to think of a Barbarian/Ninja. Now to be a Ninja and become a Barbarian seems strange. But there are many ways to justify it. This is...

I used a mechanic during an old campaign for spell casting that allowed spell casters to overextend their casting time. It was saving throw based, and each time you cast beyond your limits you made a saving throw modified by the number of over-extensions you had made. If you failed, you burnt...

I second the vote on Wordpress. I recently converted over a hobby site to use it. Although the site was originally fully written by myself (including backend stuff), Wordpress just did more and with less effort. D

Sorry if what I'm about to ask starts another silly IP argument ... however it needs to be asked as it will affect (at least to me) my choice in purchasing ... You mention future datasets to avoid the effort in entering data. Are you making arrangements with WOTC ala CMP to distribute their...

I am currently only running an intermittent game which is a romantic renaissance swashbuckling city based campaign so I decided to just give them a level when I felt like it (normally 2 or 3 sessions and they get a level - depending on what I feel like). Normally I go "by the book" using the...
