Well, if both are starting with "10" as a base, it doesn't really matter... the number total you arrive at might be higher than starting at zero, but it's not changing the probability. At least, not as I understand things. Note: I'm not mathematically inclined, so I don't actually do...

Errr... Maybe I'm just thick, but your question doesn't really mean much to me because you haven't actually really described exactly what the character in question is built with, nor what the opposition is that it went up against. Worth more than what? The .4 CR that's just for being large, or...

Ah, errata.... good enough, thanks!

As a dude that's gearing up to run a Warlock, this sounds nifty except... Page 7 Complete Arcane says And then Page 8 says So unless, I'm missing my guess, you're not actually going to be Quickening Eldritch Blast ever, nor will you be empowering it. Because it's always going to be...

I just eliminated the Confirmation roll when I ran my game. No biggie. Sure, crits happened more often. That was part of the point. The idea.... honestly, it seems awfully fiddly for no payoff. You eliminate a Confirmation roll *shrug*. You've replaced the extra time you would have spent making...

In general, my approach to things is that if you need to use an application to figure out a fundamental and basic aspect of a character, it's wrong. It might be innovative as hell, but not everyone uses a computer at the game, not everyone _wants_ to use a computer at the game, and the game is...

You misunderstand... there's _no_ copies of the Beta to be had. The only copies I can find are for sale online in the U.S. and they're charging $70+ for them. Out here? It's not happening period. Getting it shipped from the U.S. to here? That's not happening either. The shipping option that...

Drat. You're right. It's in the Final not the Beta. *shrug* So that's a single mark in the Final's favor then (as far as I'm concerned). I still feel the Beta is better. Beta had that option, as well as actually increasing your AC. Which means that my fighter switching over from Beta to Final...

I think that this is one of those things where people are going to have different interpretations and want it to function a variety of ways depending on the particular feel of their game. By default, Pathfinder says a spell can only Counter itself (page 207). Page 126 of the Pathfinder book...

So.... just how many books am I going to need if I want to do 4E Darksun? I'm seeing PHB2 and PHB 3, Darksun being 2 books... people talking about DDI... I don't want to spend some $300 just to run this stupid thing. I'm refusing to spend the money on a DDI subscription; should I just write...

As I said in another thread, I was mostly neutral in regards to the Beta. I _really_ dislike the Final. I don't care about the art/production values, I'm purely interested in the rules. I spent the $10 on the pdf, but where I'd be willing to spend the money on a Beta book (assuming I could find...

I've been playing in a Pathfinder game for almost a year now. Started with the Beta and when the module we're in finishes up, we'll switch over to the Final. Playing the Fighter in Beta was fun and all, but having looked at it in the Final? Bleh. It was stated before that the Final rules...

Well, I use Firefox Portable and Avast as my virus scanner, and I just got a popup message from Avast about there being Malware on the site. In case it's not clear, I'm using a PC and not a Mac. I think this is the first time I've ever had a site trigger that warning.

It doesn't to my knowledge. It might scale fine in SWSE, but D&D doesn't have a linear scale happening on monster stuff. You're closer by adding BaB as a Damage bonus, but that's still going to fall short of some potential. It's a subject that's been bandied about and there isn't really a...

See, for me having to roll a 14+? Yeah, that means it's not worth it; failure means absolutely nothing happens. I'll take the safe route every time and inflict damage, since at least that way _something_ is happening. I realize I'm apparently alone in thinking this, but... *shrug* ... I don't...

On the other hand, I happen to think that Action Points refreshing per level is complete bleh. I'm a fan of them being a per session resource and would say they should start at 3 or 4 points. It should be noted that by doing this, you're shifting the game into a more actiony sort; some people...

I seem to recall he's thinking of doing it through Amazon PoD. Not sure what their prices look like. If it's through Lulu... it might be reasonable, it might not. Softbacks through Lulu are usually more reasonable in price but there's some really odd costing going on there. I experimented with...

I've had limited exposure to Psionic characters in games I've been in, but from what I've seen they're not really "overpowered"; they're just _very_ versatile. Since they frequently have something they can do in many situations, people seem to start freaking out about it. Then again, this has...

No, it does seem as though the stuff that's _critical_ is there. I'd personally ask for layers to not be used. Not everyone uses Adobe Reader and if you're not using Reader, layers are an iffy thing at best. For example, I use Foxit Reader so I can actually save information when I enter it on...

*sigh* Character sheets... they're the #$%@#$% bane of this game I think. Too many of them out there that are minor variations on the WotC sheet and yet lacking an awful lot of functionality. I think my response is probably best illustrated by simply uploading the sheet I'm using right now in...
