A good "battle-ready" sword should be able to cut someone's entire arm (including bone) off, and could certainly demolish a cheap wooden chair. Think about how much damage a strong man with a 3-pound club can do. Then imagine that focused on a line that's a fraction of an inch wide. (And...

Hate to burst your bubble, but "no, it doesn't." XP Home is XP Professional with some group management and intranet security programs removed. If anything, HOME would run faster than PRO due to the smaller ammount of services that are left on by default--and after optimization (i.e, turn off...

And that's the rule. No extra XP for creatures called via a Summon Monster or Summon Nature's Companion, no extra XP for animal companions or mounts or cohorts or "leadership followers." EVERYTHING else gets XP as normal. Evil wizard uses Planar Ally to send a Glabrezu against the party...

Go download the sample advenutre. Go back and read the notes on combat. The Storytelling System is somewhat simliar to d20--but no more than it is similar to GURPS or HERO. Aside from some very abstract simliarties, Storytelling is a very different game. The core mechanic is really the...

Ok, get yourself some system to keep track of all those NPCs. I recommend index cards, but that's because I've got a stack of them shouting "use me, use me!" Have your player tell you if there are ANY references he has that he expects you to know about, and have him track them down for you...

Unearthed Arcana has a Sneak Attack feat. I ditched the thief for an "Adventurer" (the UA theif varaint w/o Sneak attack, + a few other tweaks), so the feat is necessary. There should probably be a cap of "character level / 2"... otherwise I'll wind up having 10th level fighters with +11d6...

And such laws MAY be simply unconstitutional. Although it's highly unlikely that anyone willing to wear a sword around will have the finances to press the issue all the way to a Court that can render that decision. (In NY, for example, the town justice can't delcare a law uncostitutional, and...

I actually have a non-SRD spell creation system sketched out, intended to let you make spells at the table as something that is less abstract rulemaking and more of a concrete system. (More like making a new character than a new feat, in other words.) Unfortunately, I only have the system...

I'm sure he does. But even in the US (where we provide the acoutrements for satanists on death row), he could be busted if he caries a weapon around against local ordinances. OOTH, since it's rather hard to conceal a sword, he'd have a 2nd amendment right, too. ;)

You should have included a "I don't feel that you are any of those things" option. As is, I'll go for "innovative."

Hmm... Capture by Mindflayers won't work on the way in (maybe on the way out...) Dragons and demons are a bit overmuch. A ruin filled with undead, an orc ambush, and an assault by dwarven allies sounds just about right. Oooh.... A bridge a'la Fellowship of the Ring, a cavern of ice near...

Let's take this a few steps at a time. 1: It's not hard AT ALL to build your own computer... provided that you're competend with a screwdriver and know to properly ground yourself. (Touch something that's bare metal that is plugged into a grounded outlet before you touch any "computer board"...

Situation: My PCs are the following (well, approximately, but close enough): * A 10th level Paladin/Assaimar and a 10th level Wizard/human, both with a +0 LA "angel" template and played by relative newbies. *A 10th level mage^H^H^H^Hsorceror with a penchant for fire magic. * A 10th...

It negates their Light Sensitivity. Tell me that your NPC villagers wouldn't be terrified if, at high noon, all of the sudden their town is filled with shadows mere instants before they're raided by black-skinned elves? IMC I've renamed darkness to darklight (I've done a lot of re-naming of...

Because, in a nutshell, it makes higher-level spells more effective, and caster's already have DCs increase by ability score increases et al. IMC, OTOH, I don't allow ability score increasing items, and I DO make save DCs all the same for the characer: 10 + 1/2 caster level + ability...

Got a link to what weight bow, quality steel, and style of arrowhead they used? Battered and re-hammered plate is much weaker than plate right off the assembly line, and the weight of the bow and structure of the arrowhead could mean the difference between splitting armor and bouncing off...

It sounds interesting--is it related to Starkweather, or a new project? I have one fantasy novel, From Darkness Into Light, in the final stages of peer review now. If you like, I can send you all or part of it for you to get a feel for my ability to write--which is, after all, more important...

While it wouldn't be too far outside of the concept to have a few PrCs that can be taken at level 1 (the whole "trained from birth" thing), it's probably a good idea to keep them limited--and none of hte published PrCs were meant to be taken at 1st level, so they will be unbalancing. From a...

Remember that (1) the OGL doesn't require "trademarks" to be registered or even claimed as US Gov't trademarks and (2) if WotC doesn't respond to you, it's probably safe to interpret that as "our non-lawyer staff doesn't think this is a problem, and we don't feel it's a big enough concern to...

Pcl Heck. No wonder know one knows what I'm talking about. Google's Cache still has the current page as of this posting. You can also join our yahoogroup - FGA-Prometheus I'll post the logo below, and go dig up the license. The short form: if you're "compatable" with our...
