The Gaming Den

Don't be a dick. Too late. I think I was born that way. It was not meant as "be a dick to the DM" it was "show him the true power of the Force." Also, thanks for everyone's help so far. :D What animal companions would you recommend? Riding Dog to start with, pretty obviously, bu...

Oh damn. That's hot. I think my DM would try to pimp slap me for that, though. Dal Quor with the time difference seems like it might be more acceptable... even though it would still fuck shit up hardcore. That's how you get a wish economy started though, right? Pool your money and get a candle of in...

Yeah, I was looking at Fernia for the Efreet/Pit Fiend/Balor/moar awesome shapeshifting, or Dal Quor for the 10x time rate. What planes do people favor? (and the DM is flexible, so almost anything that has at least been described somewhere is fair game - making my own plane if not.) EDIT: Remind me ...

I was allowed to play a druid in my friend's upcoming vanilla 3.5 campaign, and I was also allowed to take Planar Shepherd. (He doesn't know any better, though I have no doubt I will school him well.) (I think we're running Savage Tide at least as an opener until he has a chance to flesh out his own...

Sure, but that post is dated a day after J_E said he had never heard of or seen them.

FBMF - you should just be able to copy right from the PDF into a word document. That's probably the easiest way to get text out of the file right now.

I don't recall those at all.

Ever.

Do you still have original copies of RoW, Dungeonomicon, etc?

Why would you do something like this?

Please add these. Thanks!

This is a great help when adding things to the PDF, by the by.

No, I never said you couldn't be of help if you don;t know these things (and they're easy to learn if you're even moderately willing).

I'm an editor and a proofreader and typesetter, not a writer (at least not for this). If you're a writer, good on you. We can use you.

Great. Do you know LaTeX and Subversion?

Yeah, I dunno. It's a nice idea but I'm not sure why you think it's necessary (which is an invitation to share why, not a challenge). Also, last commit was 16 days ago - but then, I've been busy too. Really, what we need are people to write interesting flavor text for the bare bones mechanics out of...

The ToA is a consolidation project, yes, variously known as ToA and TGDT (The Gaming Den Tomes). The Tome of Awesome is unfortunately doing less awesome these days, but I am trying to bring it together. It's hard because I have to find the balance between making everything fit together and keeping b...

Sure. I'm just curious as to what you had in mind for Disruption, Earthbolt, and Chain Curse.

Not to be pushy; I'm just going to have a chance to play this class at lower levels, since I know we won't get past 12th level (there's a hard cap.)

Take a look at Iaimeki's Eldritch Knight for ideas and general balance point.

Honestly, if you're worried about "being on the team" don't be. I was only doing this because there was nothing else going on and I wanted something nice and usable for playing a game. Enlightened self-interest, remember? It's not my project (oh god no please don't make me carry that monke...

There are actually [Celestial] feats; check the google code page for the latest version (0.7); they got rolled into the [Fiend] section.

To quote Maxus from a while back: Tome of Virtue [/size] Alignment Discussion: Good, Evil. Fanaticism. Compromise, Coexistence, and Conversion [/b]Paladin (think: full BAB abjuration/healing Warmage caster)[/b] Cleric (think: a lot more like the Archivist/Wizard) Bonus Core Classes (Sohei, Celestial...

Oddly enough, my last name happens to be Kaiser... :D My autocratic authority, huh? Who knew. Any assembling of the team and doing the organizing was basically enlightened self-interest, because I wanted a PDF that just worked. Same reason most people signed on or volunteered, I suspect. Guess it's ...

Ah, you're right. Silly me. Also: Chain curse was supposed to be, you touch people and other people get hurt too. Like chain lightening, except with Arcane Curse. Earthbolt takes a little more work, because originally the dude that the class this was based off of was based off of, had the ability to...

Isnt' that normally the way most of us play 3.5? I know I have my own list of extensive house rules to the game. And not every rule or addition other people propose really makes sense in my game, because it may conflict with something I've already written. Yes, it is. And there's nothing wrong with...

It really is time to put up or shut up. As others have said so well, design by committee is death by committee, especially in a place such as this where everyone really is exceedingly damn stubborn about their (all wildy varying) opinion(s). Draco said something earlier about how people needed to be...

Arguably not, though keep in mind that it's not doing much else except "stabbing magic users in the face" so it might as well, but it needs to have Chain Curse, Earthbolt, and Disruption finished, and it could benefit from Improved Mettle (although I think that WotC considers that an "...

Sad that I have to ask this, but which one?

I think the reason people hold onto the idea of a sailing ship in D&D is two and a half fold. One is that, people automatically link "fantasy" with "Medieval" or "Renaissance" periods in our history, which had ships. Sailing ships. Two is that it's just sooooo roman...
