    d20 Modern: Chlorine Gas

    That is, I believe, Aussie's own d20 system. I'm looking for this for a d20Modern publication, though. :) So it needs to be in standard d20Modern format. I based it off of Arsenic in the d20Modern book, as its the only other poisonous elemental compound they had in there and, to be honest...

    d20 Modern: Chlorine Gas

    After 72 views, I'll take it as a "no". :) Anybody have any comments on this work-up for chlorine gas as a weaponized agent/poison? Inhaled, Fort DC 15, Initial - 2d6 damage, Secondary - 1d4 Con. Craft (Chemical) DC 24. --fje

    I'm back. And this time, D&D 3.5 will not kill me.

    I would also suggest, when you get back to running, to try one of the Adventure Paths. I like running them ... for me, D&D is a side-game, though. I prefer to "work" with d20Modern, so having a pre-prepped D&D game is a huge time saver. I like to play and run D&D, but there's some prep...

    Powerful Build: OGC?

    Yup. I never use Psionics so I didn't think of it. Just went to the Wizards' site and downloaded the SRD *.rtf file for the psionic races and it's right there in it, in case anybody wanted it direct from the source. Thanks! --fje

    Powerful Build: OGC?

    Pretty straightforward. Does anyone know if or where the Powerful Build racial ability may have been made Open Game Content by WotC? --fje

    Do your players actually use "items" for roleplaying their skill checks?

    I would assume the masterwork Magnifying glass would work that way, yea. We "use tools", but I just mark them on my sheet and adjust my skill check accordingly. It's more rare, for instance, to have the rogue not be able to access his picks than for him to have them, so it is simpler to have...

    Book of Nine Swords (a second look)

    Is decision of method of ability score gen a house rule?

    Heck ... house rules or just forgetting rules. Last session there were at least four different rules that I was damn sure I remembered from the book ... went and looked them up after the game ... nope, weren't there. Dunno where they came from. I'm blaming the hummus and bagel chips. Chick...

    Accidental Survivors: the Modern Gaming Podcast

    It's available through the iTunes directory, so I've subscribed. I do most of my podcast listening via the 'pod in the car during my weekly trips out of town, so this coming week I'll give 'er a listen. --fje

    Darkness - What is "shadowy illumination"?

    Do it the hard way because it's going to be a thematic part of that adventure? Everburning Torches are cheap, as are regular torches. If the GM has taken the time to counter those, he really really wants to play with those Grimlock minis he's setting up over there on the edge of the table. :)...

    Classic Adventuring in Urban Arcana

    For some of my games, I just do away with the Proffession/Wealth interaction in general. IMO, it was a "good idea" but a bad execution ... D20Modern isn't supposed to be about "getting stuff". The assumption is that it's an action movie styled game, and in the action movies the good-guy is...

    One of the group is buying the Book of Nine Swords. What should I expect?

    It can't be used every round, but from what I've seen, you can't REALLY use WA several rounds in a row very often unless you're fighting tightly-packed mindless undead. Mooks either move out of the way to avoid it, or there aren't enough mooks to make it worth more than taking a full attack and...

    After the core, what is the "must have" 3.5 book?

    For me: PHBII Spell Compendium Complete Warrior Then the other Completes, then the Races of. I get the most use out of, and actually use rules/feats from, those three. --fje

    Why are house rules bad? Why are people proud of having few house rules?

    Yup. In the past, me not playing with GMs who had alot of house rules added up to the same reason that you don't have your average armchair quarterback in the NFL. I like dedication in a GM. I don't like airbag punditry. The current group I play with has some house rules. They're okay...

    Complete Mage - Is it out yet?

    Excellence. Our cleric got an item with this 1/day already. Hasn't come into play yet, but sounds great for getting those soft, tastey casters out of situations where they've been outflanked and cut off from the team. A little bit Dimension Door, a little bit Blasty, right through the enemy...

    One of the group is buying the Book of Nine Swords. What should I expect?

    Personally, the way I'd really like to use the book would be to allow stance/maneuver in through Fighter feats, giving the Fighter a bit of a power-up that he's been needing (even with PHBII), but not use the base classes at all. Not shelling out the dough for a book I'm going to be banning...

    Darkness - What is "shadowy illumination"?

    Dull but playable. AoW, Three Faces of Evil, one fight with Darkness-as-Darkness took most of a session for a short combat because the PCs AND THE MONSTERS spent most of the time stumbling around in the darkness, moving at half, making balance checks for rough flooring in the dark, 50% miss...

    d20 Modern: Chlorine Gas

    Quick question, is there a source out there, preferably OGL, which has listed the effects of Chlorine gas when used as a weaponized agent/poison? --fje

    Raising Unwilling Dead

    The 8th level spell Create Greater Undead can produce Shadows, Wraiths, Spectres and Devourers. All of these are intelligent undead. Create Undead is a 6th level spell and can create Ghouls, Ghasts and Mohrgs, as well as Mummies, all of which are intelligent undead. Doesn't suggest anything...

    There is one thing about the Scout that annoys me

    Did you ban Ring of Freedom of Movement from the game? And in having to do so, did you decide not to by the PHB for having RoFoM in it? --fje
