RPTools

[Seraphi]

There was talk of a program called Screenmonkey a little while ago, but I have managed to find a free set of RP tools with more functionality, which is pretty awesome.

 

Link to the information page:

http://www.rptools.net/index.php?page=tools

 

It allows for character storage, token creation, has a chat client (Much like Screenmonkey) and a built in dice. The campaigns can be saved, meaning 12 hour games can be broken up into manageable pieces whenever somebody needs to leave for a while, or people just get tired.

 

[hide=Character Template]

Name:

(Try to make it something at least a bit fantasy. If you can’t think of anything, try this:

http://www.seventhsanctum.com/generate.php?Genname=fantasynameex)

 

Gender:

(Doesn’t affect gameplay)

 

Race:

(Each race gives specific bonuses. Make sure to check your races bonuses and note them down here for later.)

 

http://www.d20srd.org/srd/races.htm

 

Class:

(This is really important. Make sure to pick a class you like, and configure ability scores, inventory, feats and spells as such.)

 

(Also note that wizards and sorcerers get to choose a school specialization, gaining an extra spell from that school per day, but giving up two other schools in the process.

Clerics get to pick two domains, gaining an extra spell per level from those two domains.)

 

(Druids must state their animal companion here.)

 

http://www.d20srd.org/indexes/classes.htm

(You want the “Base Classes”. Prestige classes come a while later.)

 

Alignment:

(Pick one from here: http://www.d20srd.org/srd/description.htm#theNineAlignments)

 

 

Description:

(Here’s where the characters backstory goes. Please try to put an effort into this, as I like to read them occasionally. I don’t particularly care how long it is.)

 

Ability Scores:

(These affect a large chunk of the game, and you should try to focus on the ones that your character requires. Different spellcasters require different abilities to use their spells.

This is also where your racial abilities come in. You should add them now.)

 

(All Ability scores start at 8, which gives a modifier of -1. You start with 30 points to put into these abilities. For 8-12, each ability score costs one point. 12-14, they cost two points, 14-16, they cost 3, and so on.

Each two ability score levels gives you another +1 to that abilities specific modifiers)

 

Strength: 8

Dexterity: 8 (Remember, Dexterity gives an AC bonus as well)

Constitution: 8 (Constitution affects HP, so is quite important, but not required, for everyone.)

Intelligence: 8 (This is very important to wizards or people who want a lot of skill ranks.)

Wisdom: 8 (Important for Clerics and Druids mostly.)

Charisma: 8 (Charisma affects Paladins, Sorcerers, and Bards mostly.)

 

(Add your ability modifiers as necessary, but remember the point system.)

 

Spells:

http://www.d20srd.org/indexes/spellLists.htm

(If you are a spellcasting class, you get to pick spells at each new level, as well as level one. Spells become more powerful the higher their level, to a maximum of 9th level spells.)

 

(Sorcerers get four level 0 spells and two level 1 spells at first level, and then more spells as levels are gained.)

 

(Wizards can select any spells (Of the correct level) they wish ahead of time, but can only cast a certain number of each spell level (Less than sorcerers))

 

(Clerics can cast any spell which they are allowed, given their alignment, but can only cast a certain number of each level per day, including domain spells. However, they can also convert any of their pre-prepared spells into a cure/inflict wounds (Dependant on alignment) spell at will.)

 

(Druids work in much the same way as clerics, but without domains. They can convert one of their pre-prepared spells into a summoning spell.)

 

(For any other class spells, see the class feature list from the link near the top of the page)

 

Feats:

(All starting characters get to pick one feat. Humans get one extra feat, and fighters get a further extra feat. All feats have different effects, and some can vastly alter your character. Make sure to pick wisely. Some feats require you to pick a certain weapon which they are used with. These feats will ONLY work when this weapon is equipped, so make sure you are certain of using that weapon before choosing these)

http://www.d20srd.org/indexes/feats.htm

 

Skills:

(Skills are, well, skills. They affect what you are good at, from forging documents to trick people, to climbing things and swimming. Skill ranks cost points. They are shown in your class’s information here: http://www.d20srd.org/indexes/classes.htm . You will generally get 4x more points at first level than you will at each level after that.) (If you take a class skill rank, you get one rank for each skill point, if you take a non-class skill, each rank costs two. Your class skills can be found on your class section in the link above.) (Just put the number of ranks you want next to the skill name below)

(The maximum rank of a class skill is your character level+3. The maximum rank in a non-class skill is half this number)

[hide=Rocco Greybeard]

Name:

Rocco Greybeard

 

Gender:

Male

 

Race:

•+2 Constitution, -2 Charisma.

•Medium: As Medium creatures, dwarves have no special bonuses or penalties due to their size.

•Dwarf base land speed is 20 feet. However, dwarves can move at this speed even when wearing medium or heavy armor or when carrying a medium or heavy load (unlike other creatures, whose speed is reduced in such situations).

•Darkvision: Dwarves can see in the dark up to 60 feet. Darkvision is black and white only, but it is otherwise like normal sight, and dwarves can function just fine with no light at all.

•Stonecunning: This ability grants a dwarf a +2 racial bonus on Search checks to notice unusual stonework, such as sliding walls, stonework traps, new construction (even when built to match the old), unsafe stone surfaces, shaky stone ceilings, and the like. Something that isn’t stone but that is disguised as stone also counts as unusual stonework. A dwarf who merely comes within 10 feet of unusual stonework can make a Search check as if he were actively searching, and a dwarf can use the Search skill to find stonework traps as a rogue can. A dwarf can also intuit depth, sensing his approximate depth underground as naturally as a human can sense which way is up.

•Weapon Familiarity: Dwarves may treat dwarven waraxes and dwarven urgroshes as martial weapons, rather than exotic weapons.

•Stability: A dwarf gains a +4 bonus on ability checks made to resist being bull rushed or tripped when standing on the ground (but not when climbing, flying, riding, or otherwise not standing firmly on the ground).

•+2 racial bonus on saving throws against poison.

•+2 racial bonus on saving throws against spells and spell-like effects.

•+1 racial bonus on attack rolls against orcs and goblinoids.

•+4 dodge bonus to Armor Class against monsters of the giant type. Any time a creature loses its Dexterity bonus (if any) to Armor Class, such as when it’s caught flat-footed, it loses its dodge bonus, too.

•+2 racial bonus on Appraise checks that are related to stone or metal items.

•+2 racial bonus on Craft checks that are related to stone or metal.

•Automatic Languages: Common and Dwarven. Bonus Languages: Giant, Gnome, Goblin, Orc, Terran, and Undercommon.

•Favored Class: Fighter. A multiclass dwarfs fighter class does not count when determining whether he takes an experience point penalty for multiclassing

Ability Scores

It would appear there has been trouble working out ability scores. I'm putting this here to help those who have trouble with that.

(I think I was the one who caused the confusion... *Sigh*)

 

Okay, here are the modifier lists and point costs for each score up to 20.

 

 

Extra Spell Slots

This is a table for spell slot modifiers. Your classes spellcasting ability (Charisma for sorcerers, Intelligence for wizards) will be the ability used in the table.

 

 

You get these spells ALONG WITH your normal spells (See class sheet for normal spells.)

[The_Mather1]

I would.

[Icuownage]

I might.

[archimage_a]

Yeah, I would give it a go, can you pm me the link to the program, just to make sure it is forum safe.

[Seraphi]

Okay, it looks to me like the players will need the program, but it is free, and not too large. You only need the maptool, but the character tool is optional, and will make life easier.

[Guest Mrmegakirby]

What's the filesize?

I hate dial up -.-

[Jehosaphat]

I might.

[archimage_a]

Less than 20 Megabytes for all of them I think, most of them weigh in at 5 ish....

[Seraphi]

17.5 MB~ for the maptool, 7 MB~ for the character tool.

[Seraphi]

Yeah.

[Seraphi]

Okay, is anybody who downloaded it able to test out the connection with me?

[Earth]

i do not know how to download them. no download button. tell me how to, and ill give it a try.

[Seraphi]

Go to the download tab, then a list will appear. Click the maptool icon, then pick the version at the very top.

[Earth]

okay. let me get the charecter tool. any other tools you want me to get dude?

[Seraphi]

You really just need the maptool.

[Earth]

meh, i got the charecter tool anyways. now, how do i get to you?

[Seraphi]

Okay, go "File", then head to "Connect to server".

 

The server name is test, the password is tavern.

[Earth]

a ok! moving there, good buddy! will i be able to talk to you?

[Seraphi]

Assuming it works, yes.

There is a chat client.

[Earth]

nup. wont let me connect dude! is there a reason? seems like i dont get a chance to get the password in.

[Seraphi]

You should be able to enter the password on the server select screen.

[Earth]

yeah done that. wont let me connect though. trying naow.

[Earth]

nuhuh. not working. hmm. wonder why.

[Seraphi]

Which error are you getting?

[Earth]

something along the lines of connect... lemme try it again, and ill post the error if i get it.
