Hi Love Trailblazer's take on deconstructing 3.5 -- but got to spell section and, while I appreciate the spell fixes, do you have in the works any deconstruction of 3.5 spells? How to create them -- point values, etc. Any recommendations if you're not building it? Thanks! -D

Hi All, Kythons! I can't find images anywhere on the net with kythons except the excerpted pix from the BoVD. Anyone want to take a crack at some -- I want to put some creature counters together for an encounter with the small -> Medium sized kythons. I would be grateful! Many thanks, -D

Hi all, Well, the characters boarded a caravel last week and I wanted some high-fluff/crunch seafaring material. Looking for d20 rules on sailing, ship-to-ship combat and boarding, nasty weather, the works! I flipped through Stormwrack in the store and was a bit disappointed in the 5 pages or...

Hi all, Due to a communication mixup, I now have 2 hotel rooms for the week of GenCon, and they're both Priceline so I can't refund them. I have a room in the Residence Inn/Canal which is 3 blocks from the Convention Center that I paid $233 for 5 nights (wed night - Sun night.) If you...

I just invented this term for something that bugs the !@$ out of me. I've spent the last couple of days tracking down "WildFire" by Michael Martin Murphy because I thought I read here on ENWorld someone's comment like "....what a cool song...about a dead girl on a horse coming to collect the...

Very disappointing weekend : I'd like to know what I could've done differently. Characters enter a room with a necromancer and his 5 zombies -- DMG and U_K's system call this a "Very Difficult" encounter. Necromancer is at his desk, back against the wall (this is important later). They...

Didn't see anyone post this yet. From last month. https://secure.locusmag.com/2005/Issues/02RecommendedReading.html

Argh!!!! There ... that's out of the way. I'm converting someone's 3.0 module to 3.5. In the 3.0 module, there's a wererat bard. This was kind of ok in 3.0 because alignment in Lycanthropes was listed as "Any/ See Example" and the example had "Wererat: Alignment: Always Lawful Evil." but it...

Ever since reading this thread and specifically: I've longed for the day when I can shrug my Newbie-n status. That day has arrived! Woo-hoo! I feel wise in the ways and memes of enWorld. -D

Hi all, My google-fu and geometry is in serious decline today. I'd like to create rooms for a dungeon shaped like various geometric figures - 20 sided, 30 sided, 100- or 120-sided. First off, how do you know what shape each facet would be? (for instance, why is a d20 facet a triangle while...

Hi, Just tried creating a poll -- went to various forums and "Create Thread" but no poll option on the bottom. In Meta, when I create a thread, I can create a poll. I saw in an earlier msg in Meta that there might be some permission problems --- is this why? Thanks, -D

I'm guessing "No" but I'd thought I'd ask. I've got a 23-page post I need to read and was hoping I could get it on one page and then "print" instead of clicking 1, then print, 2 then print, 3 ..... Is this not possible b/c it'll slow down the server or is there some secret handshake to do...

If I wanted the "Headline News" that runs down the center of the page, what forum # is that for an RSS feed? I can't seem to find it. Thanks, -D

Teflon Billy's comment in this thread got me thinking - who is the most evil character you've read about/saw in a movie. Forget Sauron and his in-the-background glowing eye! Saruman and his charm-ing voice! A character you read that was truly despicable, made you sick, got you angry, etc. A...

Here the setup: A 1st level mage wants to plane shift/shadow walk to the Plane of Shadow (currently in ) to perform Find Familiar (24 hours duration spell) to get a shadow familiar. (I'll let him figure out how he'll survive 24 hours in shadow....) How would you do it, aside from Dee Em...

Hi all, Inspired by the CR/EL construction tables in Grim Tales, I wanted to create some custom spells. In an old issue of Dragon, just prior to 3rd Edition, they had an article on creating new spells and mathematically assigning them a level. For instance (not actual numbers) : You want to...

Hi all, Running a campaign where the cleric has been cut off from his god(s) because of planar-distance. He's gone to preaching in the streets and may make a good show of it. Curious -- does anyone have a system for generating how much power/ability/etc. a deity may get from worshippers -...

Hi all, Rogue in the party just acquired a set of masterwork thieves tools for lockpicking, etc. Would love to add some flavor text and detail each one, besides "a set of picks for lockpicking...." What's in a thieves kit? Talc? Awls? 3 twisty hooks, 2 thing-amabobs, yellow stars and green...

Hi All, Just finished Oryx and Crake and I love the story. Unfortunately, when it comes to fiction, I'm more akin to the unthinking masses (or maybe because I'm American ;) ) in that I get frustrated if certain things aren't spelled out for me. I enjoy the story, don't get me wrong, but my...

*Sigh* I'm sure this has been done to death in one way or another but my searches have found nothing! Is there a FAQ/guide to converting up from 3.0 to 3.5? Any and all conversions but I'm especially looking for monsters. I know people are posting conversions but how are they doing it? I...
