Called Shot [General] Prerequisite Str 13 or Dex 13 Benefit On your action, before making attack rolls for a round, you may choose to subtract a number from all melee and ranged attack rolls and add the same number to all melee and ranged damage rolls. This number may not exceed your base attack bo...

Been wondering recently how one would do a "called shot" mechanic in dnd. For example, something like "I shoot the beholder in it's center eye so our casters can nuke it." My thoughts would be something like taking a penalty to your attack roll, but I was thinking that even if yo...

Is there any reason why someone would bother to do this. All running a shop sounds like it do would either be a way to get wealth real easy or slow down the campaign. At worst it could potentially derail the campaign with things like "Sorry, i can't adventure today, I have a day job." Owni...

I don't think every construct has magic immunity. At least going by 3.5 rules, i haven't seen any non-golem constructs with magic immunity yet. But then again, I haven't read any previous edition sourcebooks that aren't planescape.

EDIT: ...Ninja'd...

Okay, so I've been looking around for a new MMO to play. I tried SWtoR but it was kind of a let down. I really liked dungeon fighter, but it's closing, so fuck... Anything else that's good out there. I've heard about age of wushu but it looks like it has a lot of system requirements and I heard some...

What are kinder eggs?

Also, dodgeball is banned? I LOVED dodgeball, even if I was only ever good at the "dodge" part.

The stormreach game. I didn't know there was a facebook game.

A general thread about the MMO. Love it? Hate it? Don't care? What the hell am I talking about?

Post you're questions, opinions, likes, dislikes, or whatever about this game.

I have DM'd in person all of two times, and the rest are play by post. Despite how long I tended to have to plan, I ended up making it up as I went along most of the time. I had a general plot, but no real plan on how to get there.

Looking back, I probably could have done with more planning.

Added the Gria race and changed the title to Ivalice d20.

Okay, you're going to have to elaborate. I don't know what many of these things do.

Some stuff that makes a lot of sense.



WHY?!

And, engrish for the win!

So I'm curious. We hear complaints of things being broken and so on... But what are some mechanics in gamebooks that are simply unplayable as written? I'm not talking about power levels (though feel free to post extreme examples of over or underpoweredness) what im talking about is rules that just d...

I second that, though it's been a while since I've played.

I know, but at least it's better than the abomination that was official savage progression.

Well someone did make an actually working werewolf monster class. It's here.

It's made by this guy who's attempting to fix savage species by giving just about every monster it's own racial class.

Yeah, that pretty much sums it up. My other issue is that the average BAB of the Animal HD kind of sucks. Maybe if it was replaced with Magical Beast HD?

Yeah, i love them too. And I agree, there's enough stories about lycanthopes (check out Lonely Werewolf Girl and it's sequel Curse of the Wolf Girl, you'll love them.) to the point where their alignment should be listed as "Same as base creature". Also, seeing as the template has racial HD...

Of the many questions entailing dnd lycanthropes. WHY do they have to multiclass into the animal type? Why do they have always alignments? Heck, why do they even have an alignment listed at all? The best I can figure for that is was simply carried over from previous editions. So, Lycanthropes in D20...

Okay, I just found this to be hilarious. http://global3.memecdn.com/100-beef-chicken_c_1256107.jpg Here's something to think about. http://global3.memecdn.com/that-would-make-sense_c_1252045.jpg Some Gordon Ramsey images. http://global3.memecdn.com/y-bear-grylls-goes-to-ramsay_c_1251001.jpg http://g...

Here's one i made myself.

Let's do some touhou fanfics! A wizard is you. An awesome and hilarious CYOA about a 17 level DnD wizard accidentally entering gensokyo. Currently ongoing, although it might have reached it's climax about now. You might want to use the thread list at the top because theres no link between threads 4 ...

Players who can't be bothered to read the damn rules.

Once played with a character who refused to even read the rules, and therefore just made up things he did on the spot.

I remember one specific thing from Infernum: Book of the Damned that was hilarious to read. Keep in mind that this probably isn't an exact quote but... A demon's iliaster requirement increases by one at every level. Thus a demon must make the decision between advancing in power, and being certain of...
