Systole: a couple of questions, one of which you may have already answered but I wasn't 100% certain I understood: (1) The description of using skills states: "Unlike with attack rolls and saving throws, a natural roll of 20 on the d20 is not an automatic success, and a natural roll of 1 is not...

I'm a recent purchaser of Hero Lab and d20Pro. I love the integration, it's truly amazing. On Hero Lab itself, I'm finding it an invaluable tool. Scheduling difficulties have led me to suggest online gaming to my group, and with Hero Lab I'm able to manage their characters completely and...

Hi SD, I just got done catching up on this story hour, and I wanted to let you know I'm really enjoying it! :) I think your character development has been excellent, and I find things that interest me about each of the PCs. Is there more to Duor than good times and gold? How did Coerraine...

Another vote for Ptolus here, got a used copy in 2009 for $193.99. Still lovin' it! :) The next down the list was the full-colored hardbound copy of the 3.5E War of the Burning Sky. That ran $175 on special as I recall, and I still feel it was worth it. I support creativity and the...

Rapid Spell sounds like a useful option. Twin Spell was something I was considering too, as well as Repeat Spell. But thanks for the answer, seems there are no Empower-like options available so I'll skip that avenue of research.

Hi, I'm wondering if there is a metamagic feat that would increase the results of a spell analogously to Maximize Spell or Empower Spell, but for non-variable results. I was thinking about this in conjunction with the Summon Undead spells, which result in a fixed number of creatures summoned...

I respect your opinion, but mine is different. Savage Species was one of my favorite books of the 3E era. I love the idea that there are NO limitations on the imagination and creativity of DM and players. I DO agree 100% that a given creature is inappropriate for a particular campaign...

I do recall when we played through it that we were behind the curve on the WBL limits until around levels 5-6. After that we had more than enough loot. Our DM did run us through a few extra adventures, which definitely had an impact. But I don't think that there are treasure problems over the...

All of this discussion has gotten me a bit excited to run my own Objectivist campaign. I'd invite you all to play, but as an independent individual, I'll be both DMing the game AND running the PCs. I'd offer to share how it turns out, but I don't share. ;)

What am I watching...too much, no doubt. Once Upon A Time 2 Broke Girls Covert Affairs Big Bang Theory Person of Interest Bones Burn Notice Grimm Fringe Sanctuary And I've recently finished season 1 of Nikita on Netflix, so I may try to get up to speed on season 2 and throw that into the DVR...

I've statted out a god of magic for my homebrew setting. Some of the SDAs I've assigned are: Alter Reality Arcane Mastery Avatar Craft Artifact Create Greater Object Create Object Deny Magic* Divine Spellcasting Instant Counterspell See Magic Spontaneous Wizard Spells * I created a salient...

I thank you for your well thought out response. :) I agree with what you've written, it all makes sense to me. Especially the DC part in 1), good quote from the spell there. I missed that - well, I read it but it didn't sink in - and it is key to the interpretation, I think.

I've been reading the spell on page 120 of the Spell Compendium. Since it's not OGL I won't paste it here, but basically it allows a caster to grant spells and spellcasting to their familiar for an hour/level. Spells can be 5th level max and depend on CL as well (1/3rd). Spells granted have...

Sending vs. Cell phones While Sending can work across planets or dimensions, I think the fact we can have multi-user, video-enhanced instantaneous communication with anyone nearly anywhere in the world is pretty cool.

Here's a good place to start :) http://paizo.com/dragon/products/books/v5748btpy7dxa&source=search

Stormbringer from the 1E Deities and Demigods Melnibonean mythos.

GL, just saw your posts after my previous one, I did a quick check and I didn't see a gnasher lizard, but the sepulchral guardian and chalkydri angel are both included.

Well I downloaded the Pathfinder version of the PDF yesterday, hefty at a 232 MB file. The Tome is 818 pages and contains too much for me to provide a review at this time. First impressions, though, are good, and I like the differentiation of the stat block text font from the fluff text font...

Thanks guys, I appreciate the suggestions. I think that mindrape is a bit overkill, not to mention evil. :) Plus, I thought it was an Enchantment school spell, whereas I'm looking for something more along the lines of Divination (essentially a really powerful Vision spell). I'll check out...

Cool, thanks for the info. Maybe with some of the talk about changes to the offerings from WotC, they'll consider adding all the past issues of Dungeon and Dragon to the DDI. How cool would that be, every issue from 1 to the present in one easily accessible format? :)
