... e ultimamente sei ricaduto nel tunnel della devastazione del party, vero? con un morto o due a sera... Perfido!!

1) Non serve rispondere a questo modo, visto che hai fatto tu una domanda e che in tanti stanno tentando di sfamare la tua curiosità. 2) Immagino che avrai spulciato per bene il link che ti ho dato. Li trovi tutto quello che vuoi. O forse pretendi che ti mando via mail la cartina? Se vuoi mi dai l'indirizzo di casa tua e ti mando in posta prioritaria una stampa 5 per 5 piedi...

Non è per forza detto che debbano essere illegali... magari li spacciate per spezie da minestrone...

Caspita... voglio sapere l'autore di tale libro per andare di persona a stringergli la mano... No, dai... sul serio l'hai letto su un libro? O te o sei inventato?

Tutto giusto, fino ad un certo punto... se uno vuole avvicinarsi al gioco senza spendere una barca di soldi e farsi dare una mano, fidandosi della gente di un forum che ci gioca già che male c'è? Al limite evita di rispondere ai topic dove fanno domande che per te si risolvono con la lettura... così ti eviti il nervoso.

Consiglio di farsi prestare quello della 3.0 senza abusare dei contenuti mentre si aspetta l'uscita di quello 3.5 in italiano... anche se coi tempi normali di traduzione si fa prima a imparare l'inglese...

C'è di più! Sorcerers and Bards: Sorcerers and bards choose spells as they cast them. They can choose when they cast their spells whether to apply their metamagic feats to improve them. As with other spellcasters, the improved spell uses up a higher-level spell slot. But because the sorcerer or bard has not prepared the spell in a metamagic form in advance, he must apply the metamagic feat on the spot. Therefore, such a character must also take more time to cast a metamagic spell (one enhanced by a metamagic feat) than he does to cast a regular spell. If the spell’s normal casting time is 1 action, casting a metamagic version is a full-round action for a sorcerer or bard. (This isn’t the same as a 1-round casting time.) For a spell with a longer casting time, it takes an extra full-round action to cast the spell.

Potrebbe essere qualcosa tipo "Circle kick"... mi sembra di ricordare di aver letto una cosa del genere... ma sempre in base ai frammentari ricordi che ho, era una full-round, quindi non si poteva "saltare" in mezzo ad un gruppetto e poi fare 'sta cosa, ma solo muoversi al max di 5 piedi... Sempre se la memoria non m'inganna...

Senza contare la volta che hai messo il Bestione coi cannoni ad antimateria di Star wars o gli Omini del lego...

Effettivamente è quello che penso sia più credibile in un mondo verosimile... un po' come la tecnologia per noi... abbiamo shuttle che vanno nello spazio ma ci sono miliardi di persone che soffrono la fame e la sete, e la massima tecnologia che hanno è un aratro a chiodo...

1)Se è davvero agli inizi, prima consiglio dove può leggersi la spiegazione di quello che chiede, e poi sono disposto a rispondere ad eventuali domande. Magari ho un modo di fare fastidioso, ma vi assicuro che lo faccio volentieri... 2) Si che lo so. E' difficile anche per chi non è alle prime armi, quindi per chi lo è è una bella impresa! 3) Chi scrive "leggetevi i manuali" faccia pure a meno di rispondere così e lasci spazio a chi vuole dare una mano... a meno di domande ridicole fatte da chi novizio non è... li possiamo sfogare la nostra Arrogance, vero?

Sfiga è sfiga... direi che avrebbe potuto umiliarlo ancora senza ucciderlo... così non c'è molto gusto...

Arrivati ad un certo punto (praticamente quasi dai primi livelli) le loro finanze sono abbastanza "grasse" da consentire tranquillamente una vita sopra la media senza stare a contare ogni singolo nichelino speso per una mela al mercato... se qualcuno, però, vuole andare oltre questa "media naturale" (ad esempio trasformando la propria casetta in una reggia, con un sacco di oggetti d'arte, mangiando solo aragoste, ecc) bisogna tenerne conto. Solitamente, però, le spese se ne vanno tutte in oggetti, magici e non, che poco hanno a che vedere con il tenore di vita e più con l'avventura che stanno portando a termine i PG.

Io potrei dare anche qualche consiglio direttamente sul nome del Bardo con carisma 20... se solo si sapesse a che diavolo di razza appartiene e un'altra miriade di dettagli che servono a buttar giù un nome sensato... Quindi penso che il lavoro spetti al padrone del personaggio... l'unico che può sapere tutti questi dettagli e a cui deve piacere il nome... Ps.: voto anch'io, sempre e cmq, per Elan!!!

Naturalmente... no! A parte il fatto che può fare quanti incantesimi a distanza vuole e tirare una balestrata (o palpare il sedere di chi sta davanti, s'intende), può sempre ritardare la propria azione...

Ci sono un sacco di incantesimi che con il tarrasque non funzionano o sono "semplicemente" riflettuti sul caster... carapace da urlo (ultimo modello)!!!

USING ITEMS To use a magic item, it must be activated, although sometimes activation simply means putting a ring on your finger. Some items, once donned, function constantly. In most cases, using an item requires a standard action that does not provoke attacks of opportunity. By contrast, spell completion items are treated like spells in combat and do provoke attacks of opportunity. Activating a magic item is a standard action unless the item description indicates otherwise. However, the casting time of a spell is the time required to activate the same power in an item, regardless of the type of magic item, unless the item description specifically states otherwise. The four ways to activate magic items are described below. Spell Completion: This is the activation method for scrolls. A scroll is a spell that is mostly finished. The preparation is done for the caster, so no preparation time is needed beforehand as with normal spellcasting. All that’s left to do is perform the finishing parts of the spellcasting (the final gestures, words, and so on). To use a spell completion item safely, a character must be of high enough level in the right class to cast the spell already. If he can’t already cast the spell, there’s a chance he’ll make a mistake. Activating a spell completion item is a standard action and provokes attacks of opportunity exactly as casting a spell does. Spell Trigger: Spell trigger activation is similar to spell completion, but it’s even simpler. No gestures or spell finishing is needed, just a special knowledge of spellcasting that an appropriate character would know, and a single word that must be spoken. Anyone with a spell on his or her spell list knows how to use a spell trigger item that stores that spell. (This is the case even for a character who can’t actually cast spells, such as a 3rd-level paladin.) The user must still determine what spell is stored in the item before she can activate it. Activating a spell trigger item is a standard action and does not provoke attacks of opportunity. Command Word: If no activation method is suggested either in the magic item description or by the nature of the item, assume that a command word is needed to activate it. Command word activation means that a character speaks the word and the item activates. No other special knowledge is needed. A command word can be a real word, but when this is the case, the holder of the item runs the risk of activating the item accidentally by speaking the word in normal conversation. More often, the command word is some seemingly nonsensical word, or a word or phrase from an ancient language no longer in common use. Activating a command word magic item is a standard action and does not provoke attacks of opportunity. Sometimes the command word to activate an item is written right on the item. Occasionally, it might be hidden within a pattern or design engraved on, carved into, or built into the item, or the item might bear a clue to the command word. The Knowledge (arcana) and Knowledge (history) skills might be useful in helping to identify command words or deciphering clues regarding them. A successful check against DC 30 is needed to come up with the word itself. If that check is failed, succeeding on a second check (DC 25) might provide some insight into a clue. The spells identify and analyze dweomer both reveal command words. Use Activated: This type of item simply has to be used in order to activate it. A character has to drink a potion, swing a sword, interpose a shield to deflect a blow in combat, look through a lens, sprinkle dust, wear a ring, or don a hat. Use activation is generally straightforward and self-explanatory. Many use-activated items are objects that a character wears. Continually functioning items are practically always items that one wears. A few must simply be in the character’s possession (on his person). However, some items made for wearing must still be activated. Although this activation sometimes requires a command word (see above), usually it means mentally willing the activation to happen. The description of an item states whether a command word is needed in such a case. Unless stated otherwise, activating a use-activated magic item is either a standard action or not an action at all and does not provoke attacks of opportunity, unless the use involves performing an action that provokes an attack of opportunity in itself. If the use of the item takes time before a magical effect occurs, then use activation is a standard action. If the item’s activation is subsumed in its use and takes no extra time use activation is not an action at all. Use activation doesn’t mean that if you use an item, you automatically know what it can do. You must know (or at least guess) what the item can do and then use the item in order to activate it, unless the benefit of the item comes automatically, such from drinking a potion or swinging a sword. ------------ USE MAGIC DEVICE (CHA; TRAINED ONLY) Use this skill to activate magic Check: You can use this skill to read a spell or to activate a magic item. Use Magic Device lets you use a magic item as if you had the spell ability or class features of another class, as if you were a different race, or as if you were of a different alignment. You make a Use Magic Device check each time you activate a device such as a wand. If you are using the check to emulate an alignment or some other quality in an ongoing manner, you need to make the relevant Use Magic Device check once per hour. You must consciously choose which requirement to emulate. That is, you must know what you are trying to emulate when you make a Use Magic Device check for that purpose. The DCs for various tasks involving Use Magic Device checks are summarized on the table below. Task Use Magic Device DC Activate blindly 25 Decipher a written spell 25 + spell level Use a scroll 20 + caster level Use a wand 20 Emulate a class feature 20 Emulate an ability score See text Emulate a race 25 Emulate an alignment 30 Activate Blindly: Some magic items are activated by special words, thoughts, or actions. You can activate such an item as if you were using the activation word, thought, or action, even when you’re not and even if you don’t know it. You do have to perform some equivalent activity in order to make the check. That is, you must speak, wave the item around, or otherwise attempt to get it to activate. You get a special +2 bonus on your Use Magic Device check if you’ve activated the item in question at least once before. If you fail by 9 or less, you can’t activate the device. If you fail by 10 or more, you suffer a mishap. A mishap means that magical energy gets released but it doesn’t do what you wanted it to do. The default mishaps are that the item affects the wrong target or that uncontrolled magical energy is released, dealing 2d6 points of damage to you. This mishap is in addition to the chance for a mishap that you normally run when you cast a spell from a scroll that you could not otherwise cast yourself. Decipher a Written Spell: This usage works just like deciphering a written spell with the Spellcraft skill, except that the DC is 5 points higher. Deciphering a written spell requires 1 minute of concentration. Emulate an Ability Score: To cast a spell from a scroll, you need a high score in the appropriate ability (Intelligence for wizard spells, Wisdom for divine spells, or Charisma for sorcerer or bard spells). Your effective ability score (appropriate to the class you’re emulating when you try to cast the spell from the scroll) is your Use Magic Device check result minus 15. If you already have a high enough score in the appropriate ability, you don’t need to make this check. Emulate an Alignment: Some magic items have positive or negative effects based on the user’s alignment. Use Magic Device lets you use these items as if you were of an alignment of your choice. You can emulate only one alignment at a time. Emulate a Class Feature: Sometimes you need to use a class feature to activate a magic item. In this case, your effective level in the emulated class equals your Use Magic Device check result minus 20. This skill does not let you actually use the class feature of another class. It just lets you activate items as if you had that class feature. If the class whose feature you are emulating has an alignment requirement, you must meet it, either honestly or by emulating an appropriate alignment with a separate Use Magic Device check (see above). Emulate a Race: Some magic items work only for members of certain races, or work better for members of those races. You can use such an item as if you were a race of your choice. You can emulate only one race at a time. Use a Scroll: If you are casting a spell from a scroll, you have to decipher it first. Normally, to cast a spell from a scroll, you must have the scroll’s spell on your class spell list. Use Magic Device allows you to use a scroll as if you had a particular spell on your class spell list. The DC is equal to 20 + the caster level of the spell you are trying to cast from the scroll. In addition, casting a spell from a scroll requires a minimum score (10 + spell level) in the appropriate ability. If you don’t have a sufficient score in that ability, you must emulate the ability score with a separate Use Magic Device check (see above). This use of the skill also applies to other spell completion magic items. Use a Wand: Normally, to use a wand, you must have the wand’s spell on your class spell list. This use of the skill allows you to use a wand as if you had a particular spell on your class spell list. This use of the skill also applies to other spell trigger magic items, such as staffs. Action: None. The Use Magic Device check is made as part of the action (if any) required to activate the magic item. Try Again: Yes, but if you ever roll a natural 1 while attempting to activate an item and you fail, then you can’t try to activate that item again for 24 hours. Special: You cannot take 10 with this skill. You can’t aid another on Use Magic Device checks. Only the user of the item may attempt such a check. If you have the Magical Aptitude feat, you get a +2 bonus on Use Magic Device checks. Synergy: If you have 5 or more ranks in Spellcraft, you get a +2 bonus on Use Magic Device checks related to scrolls. If you have 5 or more ranks in Decipher Script, you get a +2 bonus on Use Magic Device checks related to scrolls. If you have 5 or more ranks in Use Magic Device, you get a +2 bonus to Spellcraft checks made to decipher spells on scrolls.

Certo... puoi farglielo ingoiare ma a tuo rischio e pericolo. Il dungeonis masterius, animale solitario dagli innati poteri, è conosciuto per essere particolarmente permaloso e vendicativo...

Ci serve il sole per creare l'oscurità e le ombre...

La collaborazione di uno o due altri giocatori "esperti" credo sia fondamentale... anche perchè già è dura seguire tutto come DM... se devi sverginare anche due persone partendo da zero...

3 o 3.5? Solo manuali base o anche accessori, supplementi, ecc. ecc. ecc. ?

Parole sante... parole sante! Infatti è molto sbiadito il ricordo del drago enorme che ho incenerito da un miglio di distanza con un incantesimo clericale a causa di una serie incredibile di fortune e sfortune ai dadi...

... Dove capiscono l'inglese, e hanno tutti i manuali in originale, e sono feticisti di tali manuali, per cui per loro esiste solo la versione originale e quelle tradotte sono solo pattume per menti deviate...

Non sei l'unico a sclerare... anche dalle nostre parti succede di sentire spesso le domande (stranamente della dalla STESSA voce) "Chi è questo? Cosa siamo venuti a fare qui? Perchè siamo venuti qui?" ecc.

Se non c'è scritto no! I draghi sono l'espressione massima di un mondo permeato dalla magia, oltre al fatto che gli stregoni, pare, debbano le loro capacità proprio al loro sangue, derivato in un modo o nell'altro da quello draconico. Quindi ecco spiegato il perchè dell'introduzione nel manuale (oltre a mitigare l'Etologia del manuale e tornare un po' in carreggiata per quanto riguarda regole di D&D nudeETcrude...)
