    Iterative Attacks

    Sorry, it sorta seemed to me like ValhallaGH was implying/suggesting that. Well, I didn't mean "sacred cow" necessarily in the sense that "we can't change Iterative Attacks"; you've got a decent sounding change suggested. I meant it more in the sense of "we need to keep Iterative Attacks"...

    Iterative Attacks

    Yeah, but 3.x programmed this sort of thing into the game system. ACs increase faster than most characters ability to hit them "naturally", forcing people to try and stack bonuses as much as possible. So people start doing so, and WotC goes "Oh, everyone stacks bonuses like mad... huh. Ok, we'll...

    SRD Monsters in Excel format?

    Howdy. I seem to recall somewhere out there, an Excel file that's got all the monsters from the SRD listed in it. I don't think it had stat blocks, but had CR listing and some other bits filled in. I _think_ it also had drop-down menus, but I'm not sure. Anyone have any idea what I'm talking...

    Iterative Attacks

    Errr... I get the impression you feel the need to defend the Fighter's right to be cool or something. I'm not questioning that; I refuse to play casters in d20 and usually play fighters. I'm all about fighters not sucking and being redundant/useless/whatever negative you care to call it...

    Iterative Attacks

    Thanks for that. Not sure how I missed that cursory analysis the first time around... I'll blame it on moving overseas and call it good. Bear with me if I seem slow, but I guess I have to wonder... why do we need iterative attacks in the first place? If it's just to deal with the fact that...

    A 'generic' monster manual

    I'm not sure this is quite what you're after, but I think it's the closest I've seen to my understanding of what you want. http://www.enworld.org/forum/general-rpg-discussion/192437-dms-best-friend-table.html

    Iterative Attacks

    Question about how this compares to another "fix" option that's been floated... A while back there was this big ol' long thread talking about iterative attacks. The whole thing basically boiled down to 2 solutions, both of which involved doing away with iterative attacks: 1) Add 1/2 BaB as a...

    D&D 3.x D&D 3.5 Monster Generator Wish List

    At the risk of being selfish... A standalone/downloadable version. Not everyone has a laptop to drag to a game, not everyone has a computer that's easily accessible for game time, and outside the U.S., (like say here in NZ) you have data limits. Go over X amount and either you pay more, or...

    Steve Mulhern's auto-calculating Excel spellsheet

    There was an old thread covering this; I bumped it and hopefully someone will re-add the version that was originally hosted here. In the meantime, here's a couple of links to try; I'm at work so I can't verify if they're good or not. Diamondthrone.com - The Official Fan Site of Monte Cook's...

    updating steve mulhern's spell spreadsheet

    *performs unholy necromancy* This resource doesn't appear to exist anymore. Anyone care to upload a copy to ENWorld again?

    Healing Belt in MIC = broken?

    At the end of the day, it's a game-style thing. The OP would probably freak if someone wanted to play a Dragon Shaman, despite conventional wisdom being that the DS sucks. Being able to dish out large amounts of damage and restrict players ability to heal it is something some folks like for...

    Pathfinder 1E Pathfinder Just Keeps Looking Better

    I'm playing in a Pathfinder game and it's ok. I won't run one though, as it suffers from all the problem as regular 3.5 does. I've got hopes for Trailblazer.

    Holy cow! Palladium releasing PDFs!

    Personally, I'm pleased. Of course, it's no going to stop the Palladium hate that people have... If it's not the fact that there's no pdfs, people will complain about the fan policy. If it's not the fan policy, people will complain about how the rules haven't been updated. If the rules were...

    Hatin' the RPGA? (Forked Thread: The real flaw of 3E/3.5E/OGL)

    I've not particularly liked any of the gamers that were into RPGA play. Everything that they felt was important in an rpg was either of no interest to me or I actively disliked. Playing RPGs is (to me) a social hobby, and therefore one should be playing with folks you like. I don't think...

    d20 BESM: Everstone Companion

    Errrr... you're kind of mixing up some things. BESM was based off the Tri-Stat system from.. 2E on as I recall. BESM 3E wasn't going back, it was simply continuing the same trend. BESMd20 was, quite frankly, actively disliked by most people online. The d20 fans disliked it for a variety of...

    MARS: Planetary Romance - Hardcover input?

    Unless Lulu has changed their policy, technically you're not allowed to do what you're suggesting. I remember coming across an argument about it a while back. When you reach the point of uploading a file, you're explicitly told: It also contains a link to their policy. You can read it here...

    D&D 3.x Interactive pdf 3.5 character sheet

    Random note: Lots of people searching for a From-Fillable character sheet also expect to be able to save their information in the sheet once it's entered. Most form-fillable sheets don't do that, unless you've got the full version of Adobe Acrobat. If you happen to be on a Windows based...

    Pathfinder 1E Pathfinder: Encounter Design Simplified

    Would you consider offering a pdf version of the "Trailblazer Complete"? Print on demand is nice if you happen to live in a country like the U.S., but living in New Zealand for example, it's just not economical. If it's being shipped from some place like Lulu, shipping (with tracking) costs over...
