If you are considering strictly regular polyhedral dice, only the d4, d6, d8, d12 and d20 work (no, not even the d10 qualifies.) IIRC the original dice for DnD, inspired by a set of Platonic solids in a mathemtical supplies catalogue, did not include what we now know as the d10; rather the d20...

I think Dr_Rictus has hit the nail on the head; and that is probably the version I will use in 3.5

Namfoodle will go with his original action of following Seebor down the stairs. If able to touch him and discharge the Cure Serious Wounds, he will. If not, he will simply swear at high speed when the light goes out.

AFAIK it has been stated that the splatbooks (e.g. DotF) will neither be rewritten for 3.5, nor will they be 'upgraded' via errata or web enhancements. New '3.5 class books' may re-introduce the splatbook PrCs, or similar PrCs, but any 3.5 mod of the Sacred Fist will have to be homebrew (yours...

I would definitely love to drop in - but I have to fly out to NYC Sunday and I'm not sure what time I can get a flight for... So can you count me in as a resounding maybe? (I'm thinking of bringing a couple of packs of regular cards and a desire to inflict pain by introducing people in various...

That's a very good way of putting it. (damage resistance, perform skill, jump skill, alter self spell, multi-classed spellcasters - plenty of issues that needed changes; almost any changes other than the ones they went with!)

Notevenkeengnomisheyesareseeinginutterdarkness! exclaims Namfoodle, who will follow Seebor down the stairs if he still goes - or delay if he doesn't, waiting to see who's next to get crunched.

Doesn't that badly disadvantage bards - who got +2 skill points per level but now have nine different 'Perform's into which they will have to put ranks to be a competent all-round performer? I can feel a House rule coming on.....

I agree it's a very 'interpretation-dependent' skill - but so is any social skill in DnD. We tend to use Intimidate for (a) getting prisoners to answer questions (b) getting opponents to back down from fights before they start (c) impressing people as 'someone not to mess with' (d) taking...

Re: [3.5] More Spells Does that mean the ray option for the (6th level) Otiluke's is gone?

OOC: It's not you, it's the group as a whole - although everyone is posting, it's taking a day or two for each person, meaning a round is lasting two weeks!

Yes, but with you as a DM, the last time we merely spoke with dead the entire party ended up traumatised ..... I don't know we'd be game to actually try raising....

hong LOL I don't really care much one way or the other in a home campaign - usually the DMs and players can come to a consensus about character death, party wealth, and the balance between "right, time to make another character" and "Joe's back, baby, and he's packin' heat. Well, 10% less...

Definitely coming (for the first time. It sort of feels like the Hajj making the pilgrimage all the way from Australia - except with less goat meat.) Malin Genie - Brendan

PirateCat produces Paranoia! Players presumably profoundly panic-stricken post partaking. Suspiciously signs, suggesting Slot 7..... Slot 7, Friday 5pm: PARANOIA 1. Ashy 2. Malin Genie 3. Sign if you dare 4. Are you sure? 5. Abandon hope, all ye who enter here 6. Seven clones for seven messy...

Would it help to know that the sig was not inherently political but a result from an annoying B-list celebrities quiz? Anyway, done (sorry about the defunct email link - fixed now.) Grumble....I should have realised that Margaret Thatcher would be more offensive than Elizabeth Bathory (okay, I...

Not a clue OOC: This combat has gone on for so long (real time) that despite the cool Excel maps I'm not really sure what, why, who, where, or huh? I say we have Mr Friendly explode by DM fiat (to make up for changing his alignment in the first place :-P) and get on with the adventure. Well...

Count me in! I've just cancelled every scheduled game that would possibly conflict with any of thoe slots. well actually I'm just too forgetful to have gotten around to booking my games yet....

Yep; saw it. So is it confirmed that the d20 Modern rules are the ones being used? For those who may not have d20 Modern, what dort of DCs are Jump checks going to entail? Are they linear (DC = 5 + feet of jumping) in which case what is the difference to the 3.0 rules? Or are they...

I was reading about the plans for RRB before it was due to start but haven't heard anything since, and there certainly hasn't been any LC of any kind in Australia recently... What is the current state of play of RRB? Is there an information page (I tried a google search and came up with lots...
