    How would a Flat World work, visually?

    Do not forget that the air itself isn't perfectly transparent. Oxygen for example is rather blue.

    Fair 1st level Spell?

    a stunned creature is not helpless, so an ally could not CDG.

    Looking for a free game system

    no you can not make a d20 videogame. The D20 System Trademark License clearly forbids any use in an "interactive game" with a specific definition of interactive game, that doesn't even involve a game. Note: my modern NPC generator is very close to violating this rule because it allows ability...

    WotC_PeterS: Charecter Names NEW: Town/Location Names

    There is a river here in southern miss called Tchoutacabouffa. And no, you can not pronounce it correctly. IIRC it means something like "where there are broken pots". I have always wanted to use it in a D&D game.

    D20 recoil rules and feats

    1:When you fire a "burst" at a target, the number of hits is equal to 1 (assume your attack beats their defence). 2: +1 if you can subtract your recoil from the attack and still beat the defence, repeat 2 until you can no longer beat defence. Another way to calculate rounds that hit is to find...

    I wonder about Gleemax...

    I visit there less than ever before. part of it is that my life is busier and more full than ever before (good job + good woman + actual game night = little free time). The only reason I ever go back anymore is because it is the only place I know with a dedicated d20 modern forum. And d20 modern...

    Yet Another Benefit of Playing D&D: Dealing with Problem Board Members

    IIRC they are called Foley Files. The staff associated with VIPs often record data and details about people the VIP meets. This way the VIP can remember people and encounters that might otherwise be lost in a sea of meetings. For instance a senator that shakes the hand of a boyscout may find...

    Opinions on True20

    Firearms are not melee weapons. People miss with them because they: A: are not pointing at the target. B: the 1/10 of a second it takes the shooter to respond to the movement of a target is enough for the target to move out of the shooters line of fire. You are defining dexterity in D&D...

    Opinions on True20

    It actually does make a lot of sense for strength to modify melee attack rolls. More strength means that you can apply more acceleration to an attack, resulting in a faster strike that is harder to avoid and react to. Not only this but it is the same strength enabled acceleration that allows...

    How? I've read the true 20 quick play rules and con bonus is not calculated into the toughness save.

    Opinions on True20

    The thing I do not like about true 20 is that it makes con a total dump stat, and makes dex even more valuable. dex affects all attacks, not just ranged + finesse. con does not affect the toughness save like it affects HP or W/VP in other games.

    Falling Damage - Anyone else hopes falling hurts just a little bit more?

    This whole issue can be negated by using W/VP instead of HP. Falling deals wound damage. Most humans have fewer than 18 wounds. Most humans will die from a 60ft fall. To scale that to heroic levels, allow an action point to be spent to deal normal damage instead.

    half as many skills - half as many skill points?

    I would leave skill points unchanged. One of the flaws of D&D is that every single class has been left starving for skill points. Even the rogue at 8 skill points can not meet its basic skills without a high intelligence modifier. Hide, MS, spot, listen, search, disable device, open lock...

    A question for super science geeks!

    Concrete is less hard than most raw stone and is susceptible to both chemical and physical erosion. IIRC most types of concrete will completely more or less disintegrate after a few centuries at most under normal outdoor weathering.
