It's gotta be PLOT armor.

Hey folks link below is to my C&C Character Familiar. This is an Excel 2007 spreadsheet that automates 80% of the character creation process and sheet fill in. Includes all races and classes from the PHB, ABP, and my own stuff. Make sure to read the instructions page before using. Takes about 5 minu...

Per Mona Wright on Facebook (the full notice is on her page) this morning; John (Seskis 281) passed away in the early hours due to a massive blood clot induced heart attack. We've lost a great DM, a great conversationalist on gaming, a great educator and theatrical producer, and an all around parago...

Got no problem with changes here.

Agree; Discord is only useful when people are actually talking there, which most of the time no one was before I gave up on it.

Funny you mention that Serl. I just ran across a manga yesterday where the Hero is killed by a curse from the Demon Lord. Rather, not so much killed as cursed with undead status so he is effectively a zombie (which makes touching his holy avenger, saintess fiance, and dealing with healing/holy magic...

Raise Dead cast upon an undead destroys them instantly per the book.

Resurrect if you want them back in the same body. Reincarnation if just wanting them back to life in some manner.

Wish and Alter Reality could also be used but with far more risk to the caster.

Giants. All of the myths, legends, stories, art books, etc. speak of fantastically tall creatures that are capable of wrestling dragons to submission, stepping over several houses in a single stride, and towering above even the tips of ancient redwood trees. So large that when they sleep they are mi...

If it's Naptha or a light oil (which will float on the quicksand and burn) all it will need is an ignition source. magnesium dust floating on oil will also make a nice little firebomb in a container (which if is clay embedded with sharp metal bits, makes a poor man's grenade). The pit and oil from a...

Merry Grinchmas!!!! BAH! HUMBUG!!!

The original intent of the spell from wAAAAaaay back when, was to delay the onset of the damage and status debuffs (to use a term) hopefully allowing the poisoned person(s) to reach help or apply treatment. Not actually nullify the damage and debuffs in and of itself, all of which would have hit aft...

Only experience I have with it is under 2e AD&D rules. However, as I read the above description; the poison air damage between the time of initial exposure and the Delay Poison imbibing would be waiting to slam the PC. Any exposure after that, since it states that the poison does not affect the one ...

My home brew stuff is on my Discord server, but I've limited access for now. Also in the process of adding a few more races to the soup that folks should find fairly fun. How can I find this on Discord? I can't see how to download anything. Or maybe I should just pm you? If you're still willing to ...

Great, so I guess for calculating XP value I need to add the value for level of spells in categories I - 1-3d level, II - 4-7 lvl, III - 8-9 lvl. Hmmm...I've always just used the highest value for spells used. So if it can use 8th level spells add a single cat. III xp value. Though I admit it could...

The easiest and fastest way would be to simply grant the Dragon in question the ability to cast spells as a "casting class" of equal level to their HD; or if that is too much, 1/2 of their HD; and restrict them from using spells opposing their primary element. (ie. A Red (fire) can't use ice/water s...

Though it does note that Undead are *immune* to stun, paralysis, disease, mind affecting, and a host of other status conditions per the M&T. Also, doesn't touching undead with a holy symbol inflicts damage as if it were holy water in most cases which would automatically break the stun since it provi...

Not I.

I've used a similar system for some time for swarms (6 or more) of tiny (1-ft >) and small creatures (1'-2') though I use a +1 per 4 (tiny) and +1 per 3 (small) for to hit and damage. It's not as bad as it sounds in effect. If the swarm rolls a crit, then apply the choking or gouging effect...or eve...

A snip from a portion of the Ability Reference sheets that auto fill with the character sheet. Optional to use or not. Crib notation for the abilities; the PBH/ABP are still needed for all of the text and full explanations.

Define a light weapon. Most weapons rely on strength to take advantage of the weapons weight or to get through armor/scales/hide, etc. About the only ones I can think of that wouldn't necessarily do so would be such weapons as the rapier and daggers that rely more on accuracy to pierce the weak spot...

The main interface page where choices are made, dice rolls recorded, and such. The purple headings are items that autofill based on choices made.

I generally just use it as written on the rare occasion that it even comes up. I don't disallow multi-class but on the same note, I don't really encourage it either. Especially given how many extra classes I have with my home rules stuff.

My Warlocke is different from the typical Warlock class in that it isn't a magic user but more of a magic reinforced swordsman. They use the little magic they can touch to reinforce the body and their weapons/armor for the most part rather than doing the whole pact thing with extraplanar for power.

Sadly; due to work and health issues resulting therefrom, I've had to suspend the campaign, possibly indefinitely. Thanks for those that have take an interest in following along on the erstwhile adventures of my victi...players.

A sample of what the character sheet print out looks like.

The book states they can "cure wounds each day". I would take that to infer a one time per day use. Especially since they are unable to use healing spells of any type.

Haha, . . Hi T. I laughed when I saw that yer running excel 2007. I thought hmm, I don't know if my version would support your file. And so I checked my version ~ 2002 SP3!!! :lol: Been running all versions of excel and Lotus 123 on some old machines. Anywho, I'd like to see your work. PM sent soon...

I can email it out. Just hit me up with a PM of where you want it to go.

Just a quick note to those interested. I've recently finished upgrading and revamping my Excel 2007 C&C Character Familiar spreadsheet to include all the classes, races, weapons/armor/helms and mana point system from the PHB & ABP. My home brew races and classes are also included but can be ignored ...
