Actually, you've got the Gecko / Gnome connection backwards. Netscape "Open sourced" their browser and Mozilla was born. Gecko is the HTML rendering engine at the heart of Mozilla. Gnome's default browser is a Gecko variant. And on a side note... The WYSIWG editor works in Firefox! w00t!

IME, most "real life" magic is like this. (I don't generally try and do ritual magic; the closest I come is focused prayer.) It's either subtle coincidental effects, intuitiveness, or "dealing with spirits." (Who are invisible, incorporeal beigns who each peson can see differently...)...

*blink, blink* A no-spells ranger in Unearthed Arcana? What page? I looked for it last night, but I didn't find it. (I saw the Urban Ranger and the wild-shape ranger, but not a no-spells ranger.]. I'd say swap a druid's spontaneous summoning for spontaneous healing, and let them gain...

Can someone point me to an OGC non-spellcasting 3.5 ranger variant?

x8? Someone found six different "doubles damage" notes? G'ha. I think I'd toss out any book that had more than two, and only allow sensible sources to stack.

Wrong? What is this "wrong" you speak of? Call it as you see it, and if the players say you're wrong, let them look it up and either follow the book or change the rule. Some rules that have caused me problems in the past: Effect duration: It seems sometimes as if almost everything changed...

"Scrap paper." Players should have their character sheet and a set of scrap paper. They should write down, on the scrap paper, their hp, spell slots, and what bonuses are used upon them. Writing down their current attack routine can help, too. I do this all the time. In general, the best...

Skill-enhancing items are one of the things that is "broken" about third edition. (Look for Ryan Dancy's notes on Living X gamers routinely having +30 to their skill checks.) IMC, skill items have ranks in the skill. That Cloak of Elvenkind has +10 to hide, letting a n00b hide at +10, but...

I'm of the opinion that the reason alingment leads to bad roleplaying isn't because characters cannot be evenly placed in one of alingment's nine boxes, but because there is more to a character than their alingment, class, and race can describe. To help fix this end, I've thrown together...

Wizards of the Coast has to delcare what is Open Gaming Content and what is Product Identity. And they do, btw. The definitions in the OGL are in some ways superfluous. I've never heard of anyone being forced to "open" a rule that they called "Product Identity", and I've never heard anyone...

Maybe. Except that GURPS uses 3d6, (commoner) ability scores use 3d6, and everyone and their brother can find 3d6.

It's not an old gamer / new gamer thing. Pick up a 2nd cover 1st edition players handbook, or a 2nd edition players handbook (either cover.) Now, compare the art that you see to ANY picture in the core 3rd edition line. This is a clue to what's missing. It's not just that the art has changed...

Qu Shoot for +1 CR, +2 LA. I say remove this. BtVS vamps aren't any harder to stick, they just need a lot more sticking. Do you want to allow this to speed healing? Each 1 pt gives 1d8 hp? Not quite. Joss doesn't go into it, but vampires need to feed some of their blood to a victim...

Odd. Aside from the rich text entry field having horrid contrast, this site works PERFECTLY in the most-recent Gecko browsers I use. Which browser are you using that doesn't show the DHTML?

No. That's actually a great idea. I'll suggest it to the folk working on the Prometheus Reference Document. (see signature) It's a few weeks yet until we get to the equipment chapter, but adding in "standard hardness and HP" sounds like it would fit in great with PRD's design philosiphy of...

The rules are still in development. Off the top of my head: * Penalties for range and intervning walls (from Listen and Spot) would be standardized, and the form of sense would be limited to what is plausibly seen. (i.e, you can't smell someone from a hundred miles away, you can't see through...

That shouldn't be that much of a problem. If a character with a lot of extra XP dies, they lose their entire extra store when they lose a level upon ressurection.

That's a game-mechanic problem. Meet it with a game-mechanic solution. A vampire, wraith, necromancer (etc) that has a vendetta against the PC-master's master comes, having killed all the other students of their grand master. The vampire strikes while the master is sleeping, and inflicts six...

Are you running a group or a solo game? One of the highlights, IMO, of my last game was my players running around in cirlcles, depseately knowing that they're lost. OTOH, the maze wasn't that compelx, most of the features were unique, and it was good enough. Hmm... I think I'm going to have...
