    Making sure I have my math correct.

    I guess that would make more sense with the character that I have designed, and it frees up a feat for something that I can use. I just need to find a good feat in one of the Complete books. The primary and off hand is just a lot easier to read as +xx/+yy/+zz (primary) and +uu/+vv/+ww rather...

    Making sure I have my math correct.

    Ahh, okay so it's just two attacks with ITWF instead of three. I just got confused. Math does that too me. Right now the characters are going to be 10th level, but thanks for the help when they increase in level. Thanks for the help CRGreathouse. Mr. Beef

    Making sure I have my math correct.

    One of the character's I'm making for my Story Hour is a Ranger with the Two-Weapon Fighting (TWF) feats. Now I have a few questions about the math for the TWF/Improved TWF. Let's say I'm making a Level 10 Ranger with a strength of 14 (+2) using a +1 Longsword in the primary hand and +1 Short...

    What is Ptolus?

    Thanks for the information. I'm willing to do the work after they reach level 10 because by that time I will have enough experience to make adventures without the need for hand holding. I just hope they don't turn out TPK's. This is good to hear because I don't want to do all the work, in my...

    Critique This Character

    About the only thing I can see wrong with it, and you may have a perfectly good reason for the character to have this many spells, is the list of spells. At level 1 Wizards get all 0 level spells as well as 3 Level 1 spells +1 spell for every plus in Intellegence. So if you had a +4 bonus to...

    What is Ptolus?

    Thank you for giving feedback about one of the adventures of Ptolus. I was wondering what was all involved with theose adventures that came with the book on CD. I'm downloading it now so I should be able to look at it tomarrow morning and make my final decision. Well I was, until I could not...

    What is Ptolus?

    Ahh, now it clicks in my brain. I looked at it a long time ago after heraing how revolutionary it was and decided to check it out. It was a big yawner to me. D&D to me is always going to be a roll a D20 and add your bonuses to hit and then if you hit, roll your damage and add bonuses if any...

    The Hive is (realy) Dead! Long Live the Hive Mind!

    My older brother is a big fan of Marvel Ultimate Alliance. He went to GameStop on Black friday and purcahsed it for like $29 new for the PS2. Not sure how much he plays it though since he's splitting time between it and World of Warcraft. He's a big fan of the X-Men Legends video games as well...

    Characters for Mr. Beef's Fiction (Update for 12/29/06)

    Two Updates in one day. It's a miracle! Xuxa is simply my answer to the character of Inara on Firefly. The Profession (Companion) skill means she gets paid to hang off of some wealthy man's arm for a night while reciting poetry among his friends and telling stories of the history of the land...

    What is Ptolus?

    D'oh! I got mixed up. I must be dyslexic or something because I should have known that. Its been so long since I looked at it and I guess I got mixed up. I just googled it and it looks good. Thank you for pointing that out. Mr. Beef

    What is Ptolus?

    That's what I was thinking of, Unearthed Arcana, thank you for pointing that out. Didn't Cook do UA as well or was that someone else? Then I have never heard of AU or AE and may take a look at them once I get a chance to go to my FLGS. I looked at it and was suprised how good it was. Lots of...

    What is Ptolus?

    I'm not a big fan of Arcana Unearthed and never heard of Arcana Evolved. AU just seems to take D&D traditions like Hit Points and replace them with Vitality/Wound Points. I tried VP/WP in SW D20 and did not like it at all. Then there's the replacement of the Magic System. I played in an AD&D 2nd...

    Characters for Mr. Beef's Fiction (Update for 12/29/06)

    Character #3 I got the idea for using the Archivist Class from the WotC web site when they did an article about it. The class is from Heroes of Horror, and while my story is not a horror story, I've always wanted to have a character with Divine Magic and be like a Wizard. He's going to be more...

    The Hive is (realy) Dead! Long Live the Hive Mind!

    The only high points Were Dungeons and Dragons Dungeon Master's Guide II and the complete series of Space: Above and Beyond on DVD. I wish it was the 3.5 DMG because that is infinately more useful for what I want to do then the DMG II. Mr. Beef

    The Hive is (realy) Dead! Long Live the Hive Mind!

    I hate kids, especially those that run around when you are in a store trying to find something and run square into your shins. This is the reason why, when I get married, we're not going to have kids. Not that I would be a bad parent, but I do not want to pass on my faulty genes to a new...

    Characters for Mr. Beef's Fiction (Update for 12/29/06)

    Okay it was 2 days. Here's the second character in my story hour. She's a Wizard I was going to make into a Wizard 4/Sorcerer 2/Ultimate Magus 4. I decided against that when I saw that the most spell levels I was going to get at level 10 were Level 3 Wizard and Level 2 Sorcerer with 4 levels...

    The Hive is (realy) Dead! Long Live the Hive Mind!

    I got an early Christmas gift last week. $190. I have spent something like $40 of food to feed me at the house I'm house sitting in. Most of that was milk and fast food though. I'm debating what to spend the other $150 on. WLC or Plotus. I wish we had a Chinese Restraunt around here that was...

    I have no Idea what santa left me, but I'm hoping that there's something gaming related like one of the Complete Series, or DMG 3.5. Just my 1/4 Pound Mr. Beef

    What is Ptolus?

    Thank you for all the responses. I've only looked at one link provided so far and it added a little, but not much to my knowledge of Ptolus. I'll have to look at the EN World post links. Maybe I'll start with something small and move on once I get 10 games with players down. Thank you...
