3.5 ruleset with some house rules. As far as other sources: - The setting and adventure from Malhavoc's Banewarrens. - The pantheon, clerical orders and holy warriors from Green Ronin's Book of the Righteous. - A PrC from FFG's Path of Magic. - The counters from Fiery Dragon's Counter...

Like this? Or, if you want all the details: I felt the same want: Jamis's NPCGen for 3.5. So I started writing one. Of course, I've got to make the stat block fit 3.5 a bit better, and I still have a few rules tasks to work out, but it's mostly done. My program is extremely flexible in...

I'll echo that sentiment. I own too many d20 books, and this one is the best of the lot. My whole group loves it.

And Diablo and every other action RPG ripped the class/level system from D&D. It's a vicious cycle. Don't sweat it. -Clint

Great, it's like I thought. They could have worded it a little better. :) Thanks much to you both. -Clint

Hey y'all. My ninth-level wizard is taking the Improved Familiar variant feat on page 200 of the 3.5 DMG. Under the section "Granted Abilities", it begins: My question is: what constitutes "their own special abilities"? The pseudodragon (listed on p201) has the special ability of blindsense...

I'll second that thank you, Eric! And Mike! :) These spreadsheets are such a valuable resource. Thanks in advance, both of you.

Simplify the class tables? Looking at Cergorach's tables, I wondered: Is it legal to simplify the SRD in places where it's repetitive? I hate seeing those huge class tables (as beautiful as they are, Cergorach), same as I hate seeing them in the PHB. There are only three kinds of BAB (good...

1.) How many players in your group? Two: EN board member SnowDog and another player. Lean times. Two players is the bare minimum, and sometimes it feels pretty thin. But interviewing random players hasn't worked out yet; we've had pretty lousy experiences with posting information and trying to...

Great review, it makes me want to buy the book. So, what kept the book from being perfect (or in ENWorld grading, Superb)? Thanks in advance.

Forget it. You have to either buy a hack kit, pull apart your PS2, and do some grainy modding, or ship it off for someone else to do it, and pay upwards of $50, and that doesn't include importing the game. I considered it too, and decided that August isn't so far away. :)

Sorry to chime in late, but my girlfriend and I have another recommendation: Dark Cloud 2. It's a game in the mold of Zelda 64, but I only partially liked that game, and loved this one. It took ninety hours to beat it, and it was fun the whole time. One of my top ten computer/video games of all...

We used to roll 4d6, but then one player got something like two 18s and the rest over 14, and his character was a truck. So now we have fixed stats to start: 17, 16, 14, 13, 12, 10.

Rather than list my favorites, I'll list what we're actually using in our campaign: Book of the Righteous (the fourth core book in our game) Books of Eldritch Might (character classes, spells) Path of Magic (one prestige class) Banewarrens (setting, adventure) That's it.

Hi, y'all experts. Arcane prestige classes frequently give "+1 caster level in spells per day" at some point. Does this level count for item creation requirements? For example, Wiz5/PrC1 that gives +1 level in spells per day. Could this character make an item that required caster level 6...

on gurps I played GURPS for about a year. Started off loving it, moved to liking it, then left it alone. If you plan on using the Basic Set, get and read Compendium I. Many of the optional rules in the Basic Set, when implemented, are incomplete or unbalanced. The rules in Compendium I fixes...

I like the current layout. It's simple, fast-loading, and easy to find the places I want to go on the site. Good design, I like it much more than the old one. In terms of narrative, you've found a good stride. I'm already acclimated to the new style, your use of paragraphs is excellent for...

How does it compare to Robin's Laws of Game Mastering?

I agree with Henrix. The editorial style is good, and makes the site feel more personal. But perhaps a few bulleted lists, for the information that's clearly a list, would be easier to navigate.

I found that giving rewards based on a percentage of what was earned that session was pretty uneven, since combat and success varies from session to session. In fact, roleplaying tends to happen more when there's not as much combat. I give out 1/2 of one successful encounter's worth of xp to...
