    Making your own power cards

    I made a change to the Area burst icon and updated all of the templates / PDFs to reflect this. Updates and card pics here. Just two more classes to go for the complete card set!

    Making your own power cards

    Another Stab Below is a complete (1500+) set of power cards in PDF format made from my own PowerPoint template. It includes powers, class and race features, skills, feats, equipment, magic items, conditions, actions, rituals, and more. These cards were designed to look as though they were...

    New to D&D and becoming a DM

    I wonder if this flaw could have been turned into an interesting personality quirk. Said thief may not be particularly intelligent, or is intelligent but values presentation over practicality, or is not a thief at all but "acts like a thief" to frame one. If the problem was chronic, I wonder...

    Animal Companions and Tricks

    Thanks for the replies. I'm asking because a druid character in player party has an animal companion, and assumes that tricks given under the "animal friendship" spell are "free" tricks, and that any more would require the Handle Animal skill. I have the impression that 6 skills are the maximum...

    Animal Companions and Tricks

    I must be blind, because I can't find the reference for this... How many tricks can you teach an animal over the course of its life? Is it unlimited, three tricks per point of intelligence, or what? -Gramps

    Inexperienced DM vs. MIN/MAX druid

    I apologize for dragging out this old thread. I just didn't get a chance to thank everyone for the great feedback. I decided to (1) not let him roll stats for his animals, (2) figure out some way to allow standard MM advancement as he raises levels (and check out MotW for more info), (3) put...

    Inexperienced DM vs. MIN/MAX druid

    I am starting a home brew campaign world (nerve-wracking!) and some of the players have been working on their characters for it. One player in particular loves to squeeze every little advantage out of play that he can. I have no problem with this mentality. It makes for fun metagaming, and...

    What Ability Score Generation Method do you use?

    I always make up something awful on the fly. Recently, I decided on a combined stat bonus (was +6), then let everyone roll standard (4d6 drop lowest). Any low/high scores were fudged to be within 1 point of this bonus (+5 to +7). Then everyone rolled 1d6 to see how many of their points could be...

    All non-essential functions disabled

    jump-to I also used the jump-to menu feature constantly, but I think the pain of its absence would be greatly reduced if the "EN World Messageboards > Meta - Forums About Forums > Meta > All non-essential functions disabled"-type link were just duplicated at the bottom of each page.

    Create Your Own Prestige Classes

    *bump* Thanks Rav. Those are somewhat useful, but I need something that is less technique and more "nuts and bolts." Anyone? ...

    Create Your Own Prestige Classes

    :confused: Can Monte Cook's "Create Your Own Prestige Classes" article be found online? I've picked up Dragon Magazine since issue #275, largely because of the early information on creating monsters and prestige classes, and it has always frustrated me that I never got my hands on this article...

    {Dungeoncraft] Campaign Question/Ideas

    I've been putting something together with Dungeoncraft myself... My knee-jerk reaction to your hook is concern that it might detract from the "fantastic" visuals of most fantasy settings. I think it would sterilize most descriptions and make everyone sick of concealment bonuses. ;) Perhaps...

    [DMing style] Semi-freeform??

    :o Based on my (different) experience as a (newbie) DM, I think this is a bad idea. I find that character advancement is an integral part of the fun for my players. It provides a piece of control over something that is otherwise entirely controlled by me, and gives them something to look forward...

    Homelands

    I wanted to try writing a story hour for my upcoming campaign. The campaign is only half-prepared but my buddies had me run a quick encounter for them in it last night. I'm just storing my (poorly written) notes on this pseudo-adventure on the boards while I get things ready for the real...

    Rating as a ratio of replies to views?

    The ratings seem like they would be useful in certain forums, providing people used them. I really enjoy ratings when deciding which Story Hour to begin reading, but then again, I don't like that it happens at the cost of the person contributing. I would hate it if nervousness or frustration...
