PC's Familiar

In a perfect world, but reality seems to be different. E:Tools has tons of problems, plenty of bad press, loads of dissatisfied users yet it outsold your superior product (I'm guessing?) by a wide, wide margin (judging by the message boards). Sure, personal preference enters into the equation...

Informing the public seems to be a huge job. Might it not be better to strike a business deal where "we" can become "they"? That seems like a good business strategy. (Lest my intent does not come across in email, I mean that as a compliment to you monkeys.)

Oh, poo! Most of these programs are developed by fans of the game who are doing it for the love of doing it. We like nothing more than talking about our babies with new users. I, Bruce, Luke, Janik, and most of the rest all provide support better than you'll find anywhere else.

Other Character Generators >> Does anybody know if they are gonna include 3.5 character generator software Who are "they"? Sounds like some kind of evil conspiracy. You could check out Campaign Suite, DM Genie or Roleplaying Master. They all do character generation among other things. I don't...

Problems Spotting Distance would be 420 ft on average (DM60). The rogue has lowlight so he can take a +5 on the spot (Assuming some moonlight). So he probably spots them at a little bit of distance (at the very least, campfire gives 40' or so of light, low light doubles it, so he can see just...

As Luke said, it depends on exactly what you want in "Campaign Management". It seems to mean a lot of different things to different people. Are you going to have a computer at the gaming table? If you're just looking to keep track of notes and such, a little program called MyInfo is used by a...

New Stuff? DM's Familiar just went through a major upgrade. For Character Genreators there is Campaign Suite from TwinRose, PCGen, E:Tools, RPM, DM Genie (I think). I think RedBlade ran afould of licensing problems if I remeber correctly. Bruce Gelke's excellent Tablesmith continues to add...

PC's Familiar PC's Familiar is a PDA app for keeping track of a spellcasters spells.

Tablesmith Tablesmith. Been around a long time. The website has all sorts of tables already done for you.

Looks like you haven't had many replies for free software. Ready to hear about the good non-free stuff yet?

Magic Vestment says: " A suit of armor cannot have more than +5 in total bonuses (even if some of its bonus is from other than enhancement)." Does this mean A) A Breastplate has Armor Bonus +5. So the Magic Vestment won't improve it? B) It's talking about magical enhancements to the armor. So...

We got it straightened out in the end and that's all that matters.

My bad this time. The suppress for 1d4 rounds only applies to magic items according to the spell.

Detect Magic Detect Magic can detect lingering aura of a spell that is no longer in effect. So if your target had a cast a spell on himself recently, you might detect it (a bull strength that just expired). I don't think casting an instantaneous spell or casting on someone else would leave an...

Re: Re: Mindflayer, Mindblast and Dispel MM page 7: A spell-like ability cannot be used to counter-spell, nor can they be counter-spelled. So the DMG page 71 "spell-like abilities are subject to spell resistance and dispel magic" would only (?) apply to an on-going effect (The continual flame...

A follow-up question assuming correct above: There are a number of spells that counter physical effects: If Poisoned, I can Slow or Neutralize If damaged, I can Cure or Heal If Ability Score Loss, Restoration If Blinded, Remove If Charmed, Dispel If Turned to Stone, Break Enchantment Is there...

A mindflayer attacks with his mind blast, the PC fails his save and is stunned for 3d4 rounds. Mindblast is a spell-like ability. Can this be dispelled? I say no. "Stunned" is the physical effect of the mind blast, not an on-going magical effect. Mindblast is instantaneous and gone. You can't...

Fear and Turn The EFFECT of the spell occurs immediately just like every other spell. So a Fear'd person has an immediate -2 on saving throws. Undead immediately Cower. The duration of the Fear is based on the caster and expires on the caster's turn. To actually flee (Movement), requires a...

The Black Alchemist from Bastion Press's Alchemy & Herbs has: "Enhanced Illusions: Illusory images of inanimate objects are more sharply defined and focused. Saving throw DCs are at +5 versus an opponent's disbelief or saves." Would this +5 apply to Phantasmal Killer?
