    Old Monsters, New Statblock

    I think it's Swedish actually. Personally, I'd prefer if d20srd or someone made the new stat blocks available online and cleaned up. There are some errors with the Swedish guy's version, and the one being worked on by Dalamar (locally) has some non-standard conventions. It's just so much work...

    Old Monsters, New Statblock

    I think Thurbane's file is from here originally: http://mikael.borjesson.net/dnd/monster-list.asp There's some slightly different versions here: http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=182585

    While Spiderclimbing- Prone?

    That must be a house rule, because there's nothing in Prone that covers that.

    While Spiderclimbing- Prone?

    There is nothing in the description of spider climb to indicate that you are prone, or not prone, so I can only assume that it has no effect on your prone/not prone status. You can be tripped while spider climb is active, which could make for some interesting effects... I'm pretty sure it is...

    OK, I ignored my own advice and decided to be stupid...

    There's obviously a problem, but windows is restarting instead of showing the error. Here's how to see the error. Boot into Safe Mode. Right click My Computer and select Properties. Click the Advanced tab. Find Startup and Recovery and click that settings box. Uncheck Automatically Restart...

    What will Vista do for me?

    You can also hide the "ribbon," as they call it.

    What will Vista do for me?

    Vista has improved support for multiple monitors.

    New PC - old image or fresh start?

    What he said. XP doesn't handle changing hardware very well. Better than previous versions, definitely, but it will freak out on a whole new system. Just start from scratch and install stuff when you need it. You'll find that maybe you don't need all the stuff you think you do.

    Repricing Core Magic Items

    Has anyone started repricing the core magic items to be more in line with the prices from the Magic Item Compendium?

    I'm glad it's working. Reinstalling your system because of a virus problem is a huge annoyance. Most of the time if you try to delete something important Windows will warn you about it. Nothing important ever goes on the desktop unless you put it there.

    What will Vista do for me?

    Is improved startup time really a compelling reason to upgrade? I mean, it's nice, but is it worth the bother, especially considering the potential compatibility problems and poor driver support? There's a bunch of optimization stuff you can do on XP. Anything that makes your system run faster...

    What will Vista do for me?

    Drivers for Vista are still primitive, so they're not as optimized. 2 GB RAM should be pretty decent. Vista itself doesn't really do anything that XP + 3rd party programs can't do. There aren't any really compelling reasons to upgrade, so hold off for a while longer, if you can.

    Oh yah, chuck that desktop stuff. That's just there to trick you into running it and re-installing the virus or spyware. Glad to hear it's getting better. Grab STINGER (like I mentioned before) and run that while in safe mode. Some viruses can cripple your regular scanner, so it's a precaution...

    Frog people

    I've seen official stats for the grippli, but I can't remember where. Possibly in Dragon Magazine. If you can find a 2nd ed Monster Manual they should be really easy to convert. I did it once and I think they naturally come out at LA +0. Sorry I can't recall what they come out as at the moment...

    I want a good space dogfight..

    I haven't actually played this one, but it looks pretty good. It's based on Babylon 5. Babylon 5: I've Found Her http://ifh.firstones.com/ Also, it's totally free.

    What do you do for... Sorcerers?

    I find most players I know gravitate towards warlocks or warmages instead of sorcerers, so I beef them up a bit and give them some color. IMC, sorcerers gain Diplomacy, Gather Info and UMD as class skills. They can swap out their familiar for a wizard feat. They gain bonus "Heritage" feats at...

    OK, I ignored my own advice and decided to be stupid...

    Most viruses create multiple copies of themselves so unless you clean out ALL of them, they will just work their way back in. Make sure you let the scan totally finish, otherwise you'll start from scratch next time. You might also want to download and run STINGER, a small virus scanning program...

    OK, I ignored my own advice and decided to be stupid...

    Most of those are the same type of file in the temporary internet files folder. Don't worry about that too much, but your system is in bad shape. You need to get it clean ASAP, or it's going to get really bad. This is my profession opinion: You need to boot into safe mode, as mentioned above...

    Pirates in Eberron?

    One thing that's not really clear in the book is that ports on the north side need to send their goods by ship the long way around. It's not as fast/cheap to ship overland, and you can't ship past the Demon Wastes, so EVERY ship that needs to go north/south goes through Lhazaar. There is traffic...
