    Monster Stat Blocks

    Lesser Bonedrinker Does the lesser bonedrinker get a +4 bonus to Hide too? Otherwise the amount spent exceeds max ranks. Here's what I think the skills should be:Skill Type Points Ranks Ability Other Total Max Rank Hide Class 7 7 +4 0 +11 10 Listen Class 8 8 +1 0 +9 10 Move Silently Class...

    Monster Stat Blocks

    Bhut The skills seem to be slightly wrong (66 skill points available). Max ranks exceeded on Intimidate by 2 pts and over spent by 4 pts. I'm thinking about dropping the 2 pts spent on Diplomacy and dropping points spent on Intimidate to 11 instead of 13.Skill Type Points Ranks Ability Other...

    Bonebat This one's a little harder since it's a 3.0 conversion. I've included what I think the skill calculations are (14 skill points available): Skill Type Points Ranks Ability Other Total Max Rank Hide Class 6 6 +1 0 +7 7 Listen Class 4 4 0 +2 +6 7 Move Silently Class 0 0 +1 +8 +9 7...

    Medium Viper Again, climb and hide seem to be wrong: recommending Climb +9 (2 pts), Hide +10 (3 pts); 5 skill points available. Medium Viper (CR 1) 35E.MM1.280 (35E.SRD.ANI) Always N Medium Animal Init +3 Senses Low-light vision, scent, Listen +5, Spot +5...

    Monster Stat Blocks

    Small Viper Okay, starting with an easy one. The following skills seem to be wrong and should be: Climb +6, Hide +7 (4 skill points spent on Listen and Spot). Small Viper (CR 1/2) 35E.MM1.280 (35E.SRD.ANI) Always N Small Animal Init +3 Senses Low-light vision, scent, Listen +7, Spot +7...

    Monster Stat Blocks

    I'm in the process of converting a bunch of monsters to a block format similar to the latter-3.5 format. I would like to know where I can post my blocks for a sanity check on the finished block or where I can hook up with someone over e-mail in the case where it's not an SRD critter. I just...

    3.5 or what?

    I don't. So now we have two nobody-important votes. So what? Works just fine for our campaign and our dice and pencils still work too. That's your opinion and you're welcome to it. No one said otherwise. All editions are D&D. So what? D&D is just a label anyway. I'm just fine with...

    My Brainfart

    I never said anything about mechanics at all. Please don't put words in my mouth to support your argument. And that's where my point ends. Again, I never said anything about game mechanics or simulation at all. Who said anything about cookie cutters or templates? Again, I never said...

    Story telling came way before wargaming was ever invented.

    My Brainfart

    Wow. What a heinous piece of advice. So does this mean characters and monsters are disposable beyond the adventure they were written for? Seems to me that whoever wrote that drivel has forgotten about role-playing's roots in fiction. Characters and monsters are meant to live, breathe and...

    Plano, TX

    I'm interested in the possibility of adding a fresh player to our current and future campaigns. Please be aware that we're running 3.5 rules and have no plans to migrate to any other game system. Please feel free to visit my website and read the campaign blogs as they give you a feel for the...

    Software Testing/Data Validation

    I doubt there are going to be many game masters sitting in front of a Linux-based server to run their games and the phrase "real computer" is a matter of personal opinion I won't debate here. Everyone has their favorite flavor and mine is not Linux. The application is meant to serve the...

    Grapple for Dummies?

    So... in the rules for Improved Grab and not so much in the rules for actually grappling and no mention of Improved Grab in the grapple rules then? That's very special.

    Grapple for Dummies?

    Can you site the reference please? I did see the rather vague parethetical note on page 156 that "Certain monsters do not provoke attacks of opportunity when they attempt to grapple..." but that's all I see in the PHB.

    Grapple for Dummies?

    Please forgive me for linking this topic over to my website. The forum controls just wouldn't let me present what I have to say in the format I needed. At any rate I have posted my take on the grappling rules in D&D 3.5 on my site. I've read the new grapple rules and I think they take away...
