    Patronage Project? For the Monster book?

    Less than a week to go! Let's push it across the finish line. This makes a great gift for the DM or gamer buddy who has great memories (or recurring nightmares) of a particular creature... Even if you can't pledge right now, you can help by telling two or three of your gaming friends and ask...

    Patronage Project? For the Monster book?

    Just two weeks to go. Patrons of the Monstrous Arts: Kickstarter If you're lurking or sitting on the fence, pledge now. If you haven't told your friends, tell them. Remind them that $25 gets them the book-- it's a preorder! I talked it up at my game night and got another backer just last...

    "e20: System Evolved" Roleplaying Game Core Rulebook

    Well, sir, you did a fantastic job on it. I don't think the late date should be an impediment.

    TRAILBLAZER - PDF Release - Discussion/Questions/Errata

    You can't put more skill points into a skill than your level; if the skill is a class skill (as Perform is for a Bard) then your first skill point is worth 4 ranks. (1 skill point with a +3 bonus.)

    Patronage Project? For the Monster book?

    I hope not. I do expect there to be a flurry of activity as we close in on the deadline. It's how it seems to work out. Perhaps... Everything looks fine to me and there have been no notices of withdrawn pledges. Certainly anything folks can do to help would be appreciated. I would point...

    Iterative Attacks & Rapid Shot Feat

    And don't forget that as your BAB increases (+11 and +16), the iterative penalty decreases. Eventually all that will be left will be the Rapid Shot penalty: -2/-2/-2.

    Congrats to Monsieur Kulp/Piratecat

    Petty snark aside, jmucchiello is right. Not nearly enough people got to play OSM, making OSM2 very, very niche indeed. Which is why those lucky few need to know that they have diaglo to thank for making it happen.

    Is there any feedback so we can make a course correction if necessary?

    Has the horse left the barn?

    If you still want to be playing tabletop RPGs ten or twenty years from now, suffer the children. That's pretty low-hanging fruit for any gamer to benefit our hobby as a whole.

    [SPELLS and MAGIC] Design Discussion

    Welcome to our forums-- stick around! There's nothing wrong with racial bonuses as an effective way to grant skills to a type of creature. I never consider myself "stuck with" a racial bonus. The problem isn't really racial bonuses per se; you could more appropriately blame it on the...

    Spells - Invisibility and Legacy

    The mechanic is starkly different. Diminished and heightened versions of spells allow the caster to ready one spell but cast up to three different versions of it depending on his need, powering each with a different level spell slot. It's very versatile and, hence, very powerful, and frankly...

    Spells - Invisibility and Legacy

    You know, I'll have to check how AU/AE does the diminished versions. I don't know if you can actually cast the diminished version unless you can cast the normal version. In other words, at 5th level caster, when you have access to the 3rd level Invis. spell, you can cast the diminished version...

    Spells - Invisibility and Legacy

    A 3rd level version of invis. that diminishes to the current (nerfed) version at 2nd level and heightens to the current Improved Invis. Broadly speaking, is that on or off the table?

    [SPELLS and MAGIC] Design Discussion

    Quick comment regarding "meaningless" checks. I don't think there's a problem with a 3rd level, invisible wizard or rogue having an invulnerable edge on any spotter, such that the modifiers involved make the roll equally meaningless for either the rogue or the wizard, regardless of who is the...

    [SPELLS and MAGIC] Design Discussion

    I would wager that most DMs would be surprised to discover that the rules don't actually allow spiders to walk on walls (or ceilings). Frankly I am a little disgusted to discover this, because knowing this earlier would certainly have influenced the way the Climb skill was printed. For...

    [SPELLS and MAGIC] Design Discussion

    We went to a great deal of trouble to grok natural movement modes, the racial bonus, the Take 10 rule, and then unify the movement skill mechanics. Climb is functionally meaningless for creatures with a natural movement mode in ordinary circumstances, just as walking across an open field...
