<t>I made the calculation assuming a 1 g/mL density (which is true at 4oC) and obtained around 56.6 pounds. This equates to approximately 7.5 gallons unless other unit definitions are used. So I guess it is accurate enough for a RPG. When are you guys going to quit using these insane units, metric s...

Quote: Some "errata" is simply "preference." Quote: So, keep that in mind when you're scouring the text. What you want it to say, and what it does say, might be entirely different things. To which suggested errata are you refering to as being "simply preference", apart...

phadeout wrote: Personally, I think all these SR ratings should come down by a factor of 11. This was mentioned by Serleran in converting 3.x spell resistance (he mentioned subtracting 11, or 10 seems 11 is the most common).

Quote: But, there's one on your list that isn't errata, and that is the Mantle of Spell Resistance. There was discussion when M&T was released claiming it to be errata, but neither the Trolls (specifically Mac Golden) nor I believe it to be errata, UNLESS that has changed. Fair enough. I wasn't...

<t>Forgot another typo :<br/> <br/> p.41: "Flameberge" should be written "Flamberge".<br/> <br/> In the updated errata of the PHB, I guess the Sleeve Tangler should be a two-handed weapon if the Man Catcher is.

Kinda like this? Haha

Cool pic! Where did it come from?

Quote: Some see hit points as how physically tough they are and thus how much damage one can take before being killed. I don't see it that way. I always looked at Hit Dice as a representative of combat training. The way I look at it, no matter the race, a stab to the heart kills all races the same....

Quote: But if hit points are "a representation of the overall health of the individual" (PHB 1st printing p. 119), then shouldn't race determine that rather than class? It's conceptually interesting although this would wildly overpower the dwarf and there wouldn't be much incentive to pla...

<r>The reason why I do implement this house rule is that I don't like the paradox of getting negative modifiers from low scores and yet get a net bonus on attribute checks and saving throws. I feel that a weakness should remain so and not be mechanically turned into a pseudo-strength with primes. I ...

Quote: Well, that's your house rule. It doesn't say that in the PHB. Yeah, I know that...I was answering the following question... Quote: I'm curious if anyone has reintroduced them into their C&C games. I never said I found it in the PHB... _________________ "Abandon the search for Truth;...

Quote: What was the reasoning behind stripping the Paladin and the Bard(?) of spell casting abilities ? Quote: Same reason the Ranger was stripped of spell abilties.

I would keep it simple and just give them a damage range of 1-3 plus strength.

It makes sense.

<t>There's this site but, then again, Greyhawk can pretty much be used as is. In my house rules, available on my web page, I also offer a list of the major deities to be used in my own campaign. However, it does deviate from canon Greyhawk material in many instances. What are you looking for, specif...

Good title and great pic.

Your family is very talented Brian, you included of course! You must be having a blast together.
