Apart from spyware ... Windows (Microsoft) itself runs little dos box stuff as well. For example SQL Server has a dos window (normally too quick) in some of its start up. You may never haev seen them before due to many reasons - two of the most common 1. your computer has slowed down (getting...

Personally, when I get new players of any age (new as in never played before) I run the first session or two with an aim at teaching the rules. So for example an encounter that results in combat ... have AOOs in there, spells, missiles, etc to teach line of sight, damage, to hit, and so forth...

The feat quoted by Ranger REG is directly related to the MAX ranks skill variant. It can be used for what you want if you read the wording to imply that you may take any 2 class skills from any of the class lists you have and make them class skills for all of your classes. However the...

Well I did it as an excercise and I even originally broke it down to the second then went further to break it down into 30 bits (for an initiative range of 1 to 30) so I would know if someone had a wand of feather fall etc when they would be able to shoot off the quickened version and then a...

At one time I sat down and calculated how fast someone would reach terminal velocity based on a standing start. This was done for a feather fall spell before "immediate" actions were available. The concept was to feather fall someone else falling. Anyways, it worked out that terminal velocity...

Victim: sure then instead of damaging spells, use charm/enchantment powered by extend, and specialisation to up the DC. That idea would use the barrage of spells concept but to keep mind controlling everything the party comes across. In fact that would be more powerful than straight damage, and...

There are feats for wildshaping in Complete Adventurer I believe, and maybe Complete Divine. The Master of Many Forms Prestige Class is in Complete Adventurer. Most people who wish to go melee with the Druid choose a bear, using Magic Fang spells to enhance the weaponry, and the standard Buff...

It's a concept, of course there are counters and arguments to every concept. But instead of doing the same old thing, I suggested something different. As for the standard action use, the main concept is to be able to repeat the barrage of consistent damage so you would use pearls after combat...

I'm assuming your comment about Australia is just that you never bought many books, because you can get anything in Australia if you look :) Apart from that ... there is nothing in the rules themselves that forbids a killed undead creature being resurrected. In fact the Resurrection spell...

If you are a wizard with a guaranteed 25hp per round, you are much better off than taking random damage rolls. In addition the party fighters should be dishing out damage as well. Your 25 will make a difference. If you really want to get technical, use Quicken Spell for 2 magic missles, total...

That website has got to be one of the best movie sites I've seen in a while. Of course I've been waiting for this movie since I heard about it being made, and contrary to most other people I like Rodriguez's unorthodox style, and his willingness to try things that may or may not work. D

If you want service contracts, names like Dell and Gateway come to mind. But I'm going to add a third vote for Mac. I'm assuming you have a monitor, keyboard, mouse etc already, so why not check out the Mac mini. It's a powerful little piece of hardware, and you are only investing in the...

Well of course I was using magic missile as an example ... make it fireball, or melf's acid arrow or something. Whatever takes your fancy. D

Looking at the rules and the tables within those rules, as well as the feats (sorry Powers) am I mistaken in making the ascertion that this is d20 ripped down to the barebones? Because the monetary system is the same as the standard d20 system, even the equipment has the same price for example...

I'd personally go for: a +intelligence item (36K headband +6) a metamagic rod (maximise lesser) x3 52K that's 88K, leaving 112,000 the rest in pearls of power for huge numbers of spells possible up to 3rd level. You can only use each rod 3/day but having 3 you get 9/day. Of course you can get...

Leadership is one of those feats that confounds. Because the cohort was obtained with a feat, the character's CR remains the same (ala summoning). They gain experience outside of the normal XP methods (based on their leader). However this just doesn't gel. Almost every time someone has taken a...

Most of my heros fall into the Coolest category ... truly heroic people are few and far between. Coolest: Captain Sparrow (Johnny Depp in Pirates of Carribean) ... more of an anti-hero but yeah Nightcrawler ... the teleportation thing ... my top power for "if I could wish for a power" Van...

What does that do? (I don't need the crunch, just the concept). D

The darksun format was a step in a good direction but not well executed. I would love rulebooks to be spiral bound so they can be flipped open, left flat, all that jazz. D

Don't know if this helps but you can of course add in the Exalted feats like Vow of Poverty, and Nonviolence etc. It's too much and as a DM if I see that even being attempted I will nix it. David
