The Gaming Den

This is still solution discussion, which is fine here. An actual properly written up solution (expanded skill uses, that feat being fixed, etc.) should go in IMOI though.

Yeah, the cap is missing a few things (effect DCs / CL, should probably have a different list for wiz and clr/drd (incl revivify), maybe 5 total options, etc.) and could be improved. The goal was to give it something like the assassin's exotic methods, but with a bit more flexibility. It might be be...

Rather than let craft (alchemy) be the one lone skill with a bunch of weirdness attached to it, lean on the old 3.x stand by. Fucking make it a feat already, or fix the crappy one in this case. Here's a start that may well be terrible because I haven't put that much thought into it. Initial change -...

... you know that the skill system is pretty fucked right? As in, the inputs and outputs aren't level appropriate at all? And you want to tie items that are appropriate for some level to that system as is? Really? People will take 20 and buy masterwork tools and cheap as free magic boosters and what...

I sort of skipped Final Fantasy 9. I was so let down by Chrono Cross and Final Fantasy 8 that I wasn't even following the series anymore, and I had a shiny new launch PS2 to look for games on. My roommate picked it up and I watched a bit of it, but I missed most of it. Is it worth tracking down?

You didn't get to bug mars, did you Starmaker? I really liked Frog Fractions, and the lack of instructions was a big part of it for me. But if you need an additional hint to help get your first '~billion' fruit, it's in the spoiler... Once you get the turtle, you can move in other directions than ju...

This kickstarter and it's "I'm not telling you what I'm making, but give me money" amuses me.

In the actual pdf, you might want to include the rules for distraction as per wasp swarm rather than redirect to them. And do the same for any other potentially obscure or monster related redirects. Reduce page flipping, pad word/page count, and whatnot.

There's precedence for wasp swarms (well, hornets, but whatever) from a hive in your back in the 1993 Ninja Scroll movie. I'm pretty sure that shields you from people huffing. Or maybe I'm just old.

Standardized and abstracted leadership stuff? I've got energy to kick in for that... Companions going to your CR/2 makes them better than or equivalent to cohorts at low levels. Intentional? The leadership pool is an interesting concept, and a frankly welcome abstraction. But the linear costs for ex...

Yeah, having looked at the assorted shields I guess the -2 attack isn't necessary anymore and can die in a fire. I don't think it's worth re-adding anything to the kappa in its place though. Some specific questions about the shields though: [*]Why no moderate or greater magic item shields? [*]Force ...

I'll fix the attribution bits. I'm pretty sure Frank has said repeatedly he doesn't care, but I still prefer to make credit as transparent as possible. Which I guess it isn't right now. (edit - should be clear now) On great shields, I only suggested it because they used to have something similar. Ha...

I went and edited the wiki version so it's a complete drop in replacement. Imported rules bits from RoW, sidebarred the commentary on their changes, compiled the armor and shield tables, that sort of thing. Figured I'd let you know in case you preferred the forum flow and wanted to change it back.

Do any file upload sites (like mediafire, rapidshit and so on) exist any more that don't make you create an account? Very occasionally I have use of them, but not to the point where I'd ever remember my account info - case in point, apparently my email address is already registered with mediafire, ...

I'd be interested in a review of Weapons of the Gods, Monsters and Other Childish Things, or Nemesis (available for free if anyone feels like diving into it and reading 52 pages). Mostly because they have a somewhat bizarre resolution mechanic.

And now that there are posted examples of why you shouldn't bother with over there (unless you need a rage boner I guess, and then you can fucking camp the joint), let's get on with not bothering with over there.

Ack, the great shield ACPs are still fucked. And got wiki'ed that way :-/

Since you didn't respond to it directly earlier, I'll ask again. Why not just give people 2 slots to use consumables (and only consumables) with, on top of whatever other slots they happen to have free? Is it actually a game problem if they want to play buff accounting nightmare or offensive nova w...

I'll be sure to always use dnd-wiki over DanD from now on. http://www.dnd-wiki.org/wiki/Kantian_Paladin_(3.5e_Class)#Spellcasting The Kantian Paladin page could use a pretty picture to go with it. One of the annoying things about linking to it on the Den is that parenthesis don't link well here. So...

Bundle added Fez, Starseed Pilgrim, and Beat Boy to itself today. These are in addition to the 6 mentioned earlier, because it's still part of the same bundle. I already had Fez from something else though, so I'll toss that out there with Antichamber. If you'd like to redeem a code for either on ste...

I have to say, "Rescuing Money" sounds like a movie the GOP want to produce, about how one brave man called Mittens will save the common billionaire's money from the hands of the evil communist terrorist muslim president. That sounds like an unintentionally hilarious B movie. Would watch....

Along with implementing TarkisFlux's separation of the currencies Awwwww yeeeaahhh... contribution ftw! The two major areas I'm concerned about are cheap offensive spell substitutes and potentially stackable buffs. The first leads to the Consumable Nova and the second leads to an accounting nightma...

Mostly this, yeah.

Because I've written this up like 4 times now for various people, and still find others that are confused about it, I give you an internet history lesson. Or something. [hr] Full disclosure - Surgo and I are bureaucrats (sort of a super admin, mediawiki has weird access level names) at dnd-wiki.org,...
