    Best Modern Game System

    Honestly, from the statistics I have heard, d20 modern is actually fairly realistic in terms of fatality when you consider the average person is probably at level 2 to 4. More than 90% of gunshot victims survive in america. Though most of those gunshot victims either flee or hit the floor after...

    Best Modern Game System

    My personal opinion is that d20 modern is the best system out there wit a few tweaks and houserules. But that isn't exactly the answer that you requested. Perhaps I could give advice to bend d20 modern to more fit your style? It is a fantastically flexible and modular system, rather easy to add...

    Someone do the maths on this.

    not quite. I would assume that the moons have sufficiently different inclination of orbits to not eclipse every time they are in conjunction. for most of the year the direction where the moons are in conjunction will not be in the direction of the intersection of their orbital planes. even...

    What product is this?

    sounds alot like my homebrew elves I have been using for the better part of a decade. Though the extent of "publishing" I've done is mention them in a few threads here and on the WotC boards.

    Someone do the maths on this.

    to make it less often, you just need to change the period of 1 moon a little. Then the peroids won't match up so well. For instance... if alpha has a period of 30 days and beta has a period of 64 days... it should create a larger cycle that takes 1024 days before the full moons occure at...

    Someone do the maths on this.

    For the life of me, I don't recall where I saw it, but I believe there is a "saddle" or "pringle" shaped orbit that is more generally acts the way I am talking about. It was on a website about odd orbits from Lissajous orbits at L1 legrange points to some rather wierd systems of bodies orbiting...

    Someone do the maths on this.

    AE020704: As I said in my first post, the answer is either once every 3 month or never, depending on data not given. The second post was to correct a minormiscalculation on Pbartenders part. ORSAL: I would point out that the moons would be in conjunction twice in 3 months, rather than just...

    Game settings and copyright law

    I am in a similar position. I have a vast homebrew campaign setting I want to share. To do so legally I have to leave certain things out, I might need to change an NPC statblock to remove feats or PRCs from non-OGL material or even omit entire plotlines because they involve mindflayers. Though I...

    Someone do the maths on this.

    your math is off. the position unit vector function for a circle that completes one revolution in a time of 1 is: cos(2*pi*t)i + sin(2*pi*t)j the position unit vector function for a circle that completes one revolution in a time of 3 is: cos(2/3*pi*t)i + sin(2/3*pi*t)j The moons would be in...

    Someone do the maths on this.

    I assume your orbital periods stated are synodic? (in relation to the sun) In this case, they are both full exactly once every 3 "months" when the longer period moon is full because the shorter peroid divides the longer exactly. Or never, for exactly the same reason. The shorter period moon...

    Wishing a magic item unbroken

    its well well within the power of a wish to restore 1, 10 or dozens of magical items with a single casting at no additional xp cost. After all, a wish can undo the damage of a disjunction, fixing a single item is well within that power.

    Turning favored class into a bonus, not a penalty

    Interesting idea but it needs work. I would remove the character level cap, +1 bard song per day sucks compared to +1 barbarian rage at first level. absolutely not! Intelligence is and has been the primary attibute for rogues since 3rd edition came out. It is absolutely vital to an effective...

    Why the fear and hatred of Disjunction?

    Besides RttToEE, how many other published adventures have artifacts that the PC's might end up with? There are thousands that have no artifacts. And I would note that most of the artifacts in the one adventure you mention are intended as traps to doom the party to horrible fates.

    Has Anyone Statted Out Santa?

    Could I get stats for "Evil robotic santa" from futurama? Or perhaps the "ape santa" from the "cybernetic ghost of christmas past from the future" episode of ATHF?

    hobgoblin and ECL

    A hobgoblin at LA +1 is kinda weak at very low levels (<5). then it eventually balances out. Even at low levels it isnt bad. Take a look at a hobgoblin rogue 3 vs a human rogue 4. The human has 1 extra feat, and quite a bit more skill points, and depending on con, 0 to 4 extra HP. They have the...

    hobgoblin and ECL

    In general, +2 to two ability scores is worth about a level. Take a look at +2 con, +2 int. It gives more benifit than a basic level does. Better hp and skillpoints over time, increased fort save bonus, +1 to all int based skills. Thats the equivelant of a level and a few feats (or standard...
