Heya... We've got a game in Boulder that meets on Wednesday nights from ~7 to 11. Let me know if you're interested & I can give you more info.

Jack, I fully agree with you. You're paying for the effect in the current system & that's all. Take jewelry for example. Store will have necklaces split up into different weight classifications. You could say the effect of each is a bit more "bling" or some such. You're still paying by the...

Isn’t the raw materials cost of adamantine 3500gp (35lbs*100gp) for banded & 5000gp (50lbs*100gp) for full plate? (Iron would be 3.5gp (35lbs*1sp) & 50lbs*1sp.) What I’m referring to by the cost to work the armor is the flat +15000gp for any heavy armor made of adamantine. That’s what really...

Thanks, I'll look at those sources. You are exactly correct as far as I’m concerned. This line of thought still follows my above point. Let me word it slightly differently. Why does it cost the same amount to work 35lbs & 50lbs of adamantine? (Or any other special material for that...

Anyone else find it...I'll say odd...the way most special materials are priced? I find it odd that 35lbs of adamantine for a suit of banded mail costs the same as the 50lbs for suit of full plate. Anyone know where I can find a good set of pricing purely based on the weight of the material...

The current campaign is a low magic seafaring setting. Most folks are either 1st or 2nd level currently. It’s a mix of RP & rolling action. We have a pile of house or optional rules from non-core sources. Most are for simplicity’s or flavor’s sake. What else would you care to know?

Bump Bump...

Wednesday nights from 7 until we're done (usually 11ish) in beautiful Boulder, CO. 3.5e with a nice helping of house rules. Current campaign looks to be heading in a seafaring piracy direction.

Pardon the delayed response, it was a holiday weekend here. Ah, got ya. I’ve wanted to make a campaign based on the books too, but I don’t think I could do it justice – especially the way magic works & all the various races. I still think you could get by using one template. Admittedly, I’m...

Yeah, Ryllandaras was a pack of jackals at one time, but the later “upgrades” to wolves somehow Both look pretty good. Do you really need two different templates though? The only real differences I saw are that one has a swarm form & you made that one less organized. I’m assuming you’re...

This is how we do it... DEFENSIVE ACTIONS These are set up with similar prerequisites as feats, but anyone can use them once they have the prereqs. DODGE Prerequisite: Dodge, 15+ Dex, 10+ Ranks in Tumble, +10 Reflex Save Benefit: Sacrifice a standard action during your next turn to make a...

Not really a bug & you may have already fixed it... Psionic PrCs are showing up in the menu (d) as a subset of Barbarian. The menu numbers just got fat-fingered in some way. d.add(248,247,"Barbarian","SRD-HTML/ClassesI.html#Barbarian"); d.add(344,248,"Psionic Prestige...

I just apply the conditions of fatigued & exhausted after to much time on the go or depending on what % of hit points a character has. If someone has been travelling for 8 hours, they become fatigued & need to rest for at least 4 hours to remove the condition. (This is still being worked out &...

Threat Range We started experimenting with a modified version of this system last night. One of the items that wasn't customized was the new critical threat ranges. One of the players in my group has a keen katana (old 17-20) & so crits when he beats a victim's defense roll by 4+. This seems...

Right now, we let the individuals pick. Yes, we use a variant the DR rules from UA. Armor still has its full AC, but it also grants the DR listed in UA. We’re also using the lethal to non-lethal damage conversion from UA. Yeah, this is why we lowered the BDB. The BDB is presented in UA...

We're trying out 1/2 BAB or 1/2 base Reflex save as the Base Defensive Bonus. The BDB doesn't stack with any armor bonus to AC.

As pointed out by CRG, many are overpowered by quite a bit. I think the idea is a very good one however as it does away with generic paladins. I ended up making my own conversions to 3.5 using the holy warrior & the paladin varients from dragon magazine 310 & 312 as the base. IMO it worked...

Has anyone converted these modules to 3e or 3.5e? I started with the Purple Dragon last night. I’ve always wanted to finish DMing them as the campaign from ages past fell apart some time ago. I remember them as having lots of good RP opportunities & deadly combat.

I did something similar as well, but I went more along the lines of the holy warrior from Book of the Righteous & incorporated the Dragon Magazine variant paladin articles. The powers a holy warrior can select from aren’t limit to just alignment powers, but they can fulfill the ideals from any...

The swashbuckler base class bugs me. When I think swashbuckler, I think of a fully dex based class. I find it very odd that it has a poor reflex save. Personally, I’d give it good reflex & drop the hit dice to d8 or make fortitude a poor save.
