    3d6 opposed roll probability

    Hey guys. I've been looking at making the switch in my homebrew from 1d20 to 3d6, per the section in Unearthed Arcana. I'm building an excel spreadsheet for "playtesting", and I was wondering if the formula I've got now, which calculates opposed d20 rolls, would work for 3d6 rolls, if I just...

    Craft and Profession skills and Medieval Guild Apprenticeships

    I'm working on a homebrew setting for d20 based on 8th-11th century Near East, and I'm working on incorporating guilds into the setting and rules system.

    Roofwalker and Boots of Landing

    An ability of the roofwalker feat (Cityscape) allows me, on a successful Jump check, to take damage as if I had jumped and "fell" 20' less. Boots of Landing (a pair of leather boots with the landing quality) allow me to ignore damage from the first 60' of a fall, and land on my feet. Having...

    Stunning Fist and Sneak Attack

    Alright. I'm deciding which feats to take for my 16 Rogue/4 Thief-Acrobat, and I'm having a little trouble. It all hinges on one scenario, which I will throw at you now: Coel (16 Rogue/4 Thief-Acrobat) is 15 feet away from her opponent. She marks him as the object of her Dodge. Using Rapid...
