Too true. I like yours as it is easy to customize, but can't justify spending the money on it when Timpani is also easy (though yours is more so) to add stuff to.
Yes, but there are also plenty of good ones out there that you don't have to pay for.
One example of a customizable Excel sheet is Timpani (www.dndtools.com).
What methods would you suggest for handing out experience points while playing this monster? Does the 'XP by EL' keep the players at about the right levels?
I use it. I have so far created about half a dozen characters with it, all of them customized to some degree.
The link, for those who haven't seen it, is www.dndtools.com
Your theory is interesting and is quite possible.
Remember the episode where Starbuck is interogating the Cylon prisoner? Do you remember what the Cylon whispered in the President's ear?
"Adama is a Cylon."
I liked this episode as well; it was much better than the previous two. Jeffery Combs does such a good job playing Shran; it is always a highlight when he is in an episode.
Glad to help. You'll have to put up with not knowing until around the end of episode 12; although you may have an inkling of why it becomes important a little earlier than that.
