Oh, come on! Someone out there knows the answer, don't they?

I was wondering... Are there any official rules for using psionic powers while in (or would that be on?) the Astral Plane? It would seem to me that psionic powers would be (perhaps greatly) enhanced. My thinking is that the entire plane is a sort of consensual mental construct, and...

I'd also like to know. If someone with experience would explain how PbP works, what is required of a prospective player, how one can become involved, & etc., it would be much appreciated. (I've taken a gander at the forums here that seem to be utilized for online play, and still don't really...

It is right here.

CAUTION! The following is completely off topic. I don't watch much television, but I do catch Buffy sometimes, and now I watch Angel too. Being a super-geek, I often consider the action in the show from the viewpoint of RPG game mechanics. And when I'm looking at the 3e Vampire, I often...

Hey there. I was wondering... Are there any d20 games in which armor provides DR instead of (or in conjunction with) an AC bonus? If so, how does it work? Is it transferable to a D&D melieu? (I know I've seen posts on this topic somewhere or another.) As always, any and all feedback is...

Thank you again, Tacky, very much. I think I'd still prefer to see subdual damage with some form of Vitality and Wound points, but at least I've got the gist of it now. Reading your last post, it also dawned on me that the unarmed combat mechanic in d20 parallels the massive damage rule for...

Thank you very much, Tacky. You're response was very interesting and informative reading. Having scanned the feats, the Strong Hero basic class and the Martial Artist advanced class in the d20 Modern SRD, I had figured that there were ways to jack up a character's damage potential. I...

Hi there. I can't figure out how unarmed combat works in d20. This is the part of the SRD that is giving me trouble: What I don't understand is how most characters are ever going to inflict damage equal to or in excess of even an average Con score, even on a critical hit. Could someone...

I'm wondering what the new book has done with Vampires. Is there such a thing as a 1st level Vamp? How are the vampiric abilities broken up over levels, if so? Or does Savage Species start with the Vampire Spawn as a base, and then show how to advance from there to a full-fledged baddie? Or...

I certainly agree for the need for clarification. I had assumed, rightly or wrongly, that normally, on your next turn after a successful feint, you could make a full attack, with each attack receiving the benefit of Sneak Attack damage. Not so? By my reading, a full attack action constitutes...

Re: ... It seems to me that your opponent has either lost his Dex bonus or not. If not, then Expert Tactician doesn't apply in any case. If so, then Expert Tactician does apply, and the extra attack it grants benefits from Sneak Attack.

So, a character who successfully feinted could make two attacks, both dealing Sneak Attack damage. Pretty sweet. What are the prereq.s for Quicker than the Eye? Any mechanical difference between it and the Gladiator ability?

Suppose a character has Improved Feint (1st level Gladiator ability from S&F) and the Expert Tactician feat. If the character makes a successful Bluff check (a 'feint') against an opponent (as a move-equivalent action,) can she use her Expert Tactician feat to gain a second attack against her...

Anyone?

Do a dragon's spells (not spell-like abilities) require the normal verbal, somantic, and material components? Does an arcane version of a clerical spell require a focus?

I've often wondered whether astral travel, either magical or psionic, might not provide near immortality. When traveling astrally, the body is left behind in a state of suspended animation, which might be taken to mean that doesn't age while the soul is off gallavanting across the planes. If a...

I would like magic to have a combat role--- in the form of potions, items, and permanent effects on characters. Magic would be akin to the tech in cyberpunk, providing weapons, equipment, and 'built-in' abilities. Characters aren't going to be "spellcasting." But how do you handle an...

Hi there. I'm toying with a campaign setting idea for a fantasy game. I'm thinking of a world in which magic takes alot of preparation and effort. There would be no spellcasting, in the sense of mumbling a few bits of gibberish while gesturing innanely and handling some objectionable bit of...
