    Mac Map software

    My coworker uses a Mac (OS X I think) and is wondering about dungeon map creation software. Initially he was wondering what was the conversion from Inches to Millimeters, because he would like maps suited for 25mm miniatures, hand drawn or not. I use a PC and am clues as to the software...

    Baleful Polymorph

    I should add that being a 1st lvl wizzy, Larry had a Hedgehog Familiar 'Betsy', and another custom campaign 'partial parasite' calleda Scathi [it sucks blood almost like a vampire, but pull it's leg and it gives lots of damage absorbtion for a short while]. What happens to them? ...same as...

    Baleful Polymorph

    let's assume for the sake of argument, that due to house rules and extreme paranoia by much wiser party elements, that Dispel Magic is not immediately available. My best guess so far is that Larry is now an ordinary rooster that can back'stab', sense traps, but can't use evasion, and otherwise...

    Larry Ciderpot: "Ah can doo this one aisey! Afterall why woulda high level Slaad Caster magically trap 'is underwear dra[zap] :eek: CockaDoodleDOOO!" (A: they are Chaotic, so why not) Basically, my halfling standard thief/mage 10/1 failed both saves required for Baleful Polymorph and is now...

    Unearthed Arcana Variant Rules - Previews and Questions

    I hope the binding doesn't suck...I had to buy 2 Unearthed Arcanas ('member them?) within a short time period, the first started to slowly fall apart just after getting it home. I took better care with the second, but many other older books held together better than second purchase.

    D&D 4.0 - What the?

    1. Simplify classes, Warrior, Mage, Cleric, 'specialist' (aka rogue, thief, courtesan, scoundrel yadayada) should be the basics, all other character concepts extend from these through Skills, Feats, Talents and other character choices. ie Paladin is really militant cleric (clerics are far too...

    Best d20 for a sci-fi game?

    although it is premature, I will mention that D20 Future is in the works from WotC. I aftr much considering went with T20 for being both different and complete...one warning though is that the editing apparantly is not very good, so expect some inconsistencies.

    Blending Fantasy and Science-Fiction

    I am researching some d20 sf stuff and have noted: Fading Suns d20 game. While this is a mostly Sci-Fi game, it has many elements of a late middle ages early rennaissance feel. DragonStar d20; an attempt to make a sci-fi universe with D&D almost directly. Aether & Flux (sp); d20 system...

    Good 'Space' D20 system?

    I have noted, whilst searching reviews, that D20 Future is in the works...it's a year away *sob* Any hidden news of this beyond what is available on EnWorld? getting d20 modern and Blood & Space together might be useful, but it would be more costly than getting the very tempting Traveller...

    Good 'Space' D20 system?

    What do any of you think of any of the available or upcoming D20 game systems involving space travel? I know there is Traveller d20, of which I know nothing of; and Star Wars which has a rich history, and some innovating rule add ons, but, from what I have heard, it has poor ship to ship combat...

    Any rule for dying epicly?

    I guess a critically failed mounted lance charge which results in pole vaulting into a dragon's maw does quite count as 'heroic' eh?

    How to make Antidotes?

    I can't seem to find any instructions on how to make antidotes in the core rule books. Where are any? If they aren't in the core books, what are the rules? Thanks.

    How do I make it really "low-magic"?

    Not mentioned here so far is the problem of AC not matching ability to hit. Fighters depend on the magic users to make magic armour. I never liked the AC system much. Some have suggested elsewhere that a few feats be available which gradually use one's to hit bonus for their AC. Fighters...

    3e... good for players, more difficult for DMs

    For book wieght problems some people use the SRD. There are also big PDFs of a number of D20 core and source books floating around...both scanned and OCR entered types. Not exactly legal, but they are out there. I have no idea where to find them. But if you can make them put them on cd and...

    Stupid player tricks!

    "At another event, a new player was in the group and we were fighting skeletons and he decided to throw a vial of poison at one of them. Talk about a useless move..." but not as deadly as throwing contact poison at a "water elemental" ...yes it happened.
