I see no Bard Levels with Perform (Sea Shanties). No wonder he's not the socialite Pirate you had dreamed of. And it does give you that +1 to hit/damage kick in a fight as you sing a song of the sea. D

You should also note that the threatening text does not say character or creature friendly to you (which may include yourself). So the question really is moot. If it had instead used the "by an ally" then it could include yourself due to the precedent set with the bard's abilities, group spell...

It depends on what you are calling low scores. If you want to play straight forward d20, a 25 point buy is supposed to be the baseline ... and the monsters are supposed to match that. So a +2 for their main casting ability is pretty standard for a default balanced game. For example a 1st level...

Hmm if it isn't a feat it really doesn't matter now does it :) The concept of scalability is important/vital for d20. D

I think you are all still limiting yourself .... I would put all the money into full time research on a new technological advancement ... full hardware/wetware integration. The system would be completely sensory input via wetware connections in an enclosed capsule per player with...

I gave you a reply in your original thread ... to summarise. Limit the books allowed for "round 1" of the battle royal. Then each winner may select a new source material to add to the allowed material. This should be limited to something like "Magic Items from Complete Warrior" or "Prestige...

I would suggest a slight modification ... You gain a +2 on your single attack roll. For each attack you sacrifice (beyond the first) by using a Full Round Action you gain a +2 bonus to hit on the single attack. This would allow low level characters to gain +2, and it would also allow a scaling...

Short answer: yes. I have many extremely expensive time keeping devices in my game, but only in certain lands where they have some clockwork technology developed (large scale not small yet). My homebrew has many disparate technological levels ... one land is in a Renaissance period, focusing...

From what I understand of your question, you are not hiding coded messages in the runes/inscriptions/text, but merely want them to have to hire someone to translate instead of using the spell. As the rules are written you have little recourse. The spell however gives you some options. It...

The CR system based on 4 Players is based on powers of 2 (doubling). When you double the party size, CR should be +2 of expected. Thus a part of 6 would be CR +1 This table will help I hope Party Size / CR Adjustment 4/0 6/+1 8/+2 12/+3 16/+4 I think I have that right. It has been a long...

The easiest way I've seen to limit the broken combination issue is to limit the books available. So for example PHB, DMG only or what have you. Then as the players become more experienced in the Battle Royale, add in a book at a time, or allow a winner to add one thing of their choice to the...

Since Bard isn't offered I would be all of the above but only low levels in all. In real life I'm a Jack of All Trades ... and the Bard suits me just fine. The closest to that in your list is Rogue (skills, some combat ability, etc etc). D

Try an older version of Winzip OR another program that supports ZIP. I've found that various programs alter the algorithm just slightly depending on certain settings and thus can really mess with the files. D

As I stated ... encouragement. And as a DM make the damn thing up. So what if mechanically it could never work in real life. For example that door handle thing ... would most likely not work in real life ... since the door handle bolt (that goes through the door to the other handle) would...

As a DM I do not "adjudicate" penalties/bonuses just because a player states "I disarm the trap" instead of going into details. Some players are not great thinkers in that sense for they have no background in traps from any source. I prefer guiding the players by example if there is something...

@Caliban ... Terminal Velocity varies depending on what you are doing ... a winged creature can increase their air resistance by spread their wings and gliding part of the way down, while a human has no wings to speak of and less experience at the whole flying thing. However including rules...

You can easily ready an action as stated by Hypersmurf to do anything you wanted. Why? Because d20 indicates you may ready an action and take the action it described any time before your next turn. Since in one round a standard object can fall almost 580' (ignoring terminal velocity) unless...

I personally agree with Patryn when he states that Monks cannot qualify for the feat. For they have no natural attacks. They only have an attack from that is treated as a natural weapon for things that improve natural weapons (for example the Magic Fang spell). However I must disagree with his...

The Masters of the Wild string of Feats were allowed to be taken multiple times however for some reason Dwarf's Toughness was not deemed a Fighter feat (the other two were). It may have been a typo or otherwise -=shrug=- None of the feats required previous feats to take them. Improved...

Kor: The spell trees can be mimicked by using either an old dragon magazine that had something it about Spell Chains. A Wizard would learn Lists of spells that he/she would cast from. I also think that S.Reynolds did something similar on his site ... path magic ... here is the link...
