well, a ranger gets multi-shot at sixth level because he's a ranger and sixth level, but it only says that in the description for multi-shot, not in the description for a ranger. i just wrote it into there.

so, your canadian, to, eh?

Hm... it should say so on the table for the ranger, under "special". Maybe.. (i'm not sure about this, remember I only have 3.0 rulebooks), doesn't the ranger get to choose whether to focus on 2 weapon fighting or bow? if that's the case, try looking under the entry for the focusing on bow, whatever it's called.

And, yeah, I'm Canadian. Vancouverite, currently stuck in surrey, though it's not as bad as the jokes would have you believe (for those who are clueless as to what I'm talking about, when you hear a Vally Girl joke in this particular part of Canada, it tends to be a Surrey Girl joke instead, mostly because the Trans-Canada highway goes right through the worst part of Surrey. (And the Fraser highway (I think) goes past a store called "Gold 'n Guns"). It's really kinda funny.

ok, it does have them, in the paragraphs for other feats that you need to use before you get them. so i guess that's ok and i need to skim better. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Heh, don't worry, for the first year after I got the PHB, I was completely clueless.

ranger gains the Ambidexterity and the Two Weapon Fighting feats.
Details:
When fighting with two weapons, normally players suffer a -6 penalty to hit with each. (might be wrong on the numbers)
Two-weapon fightning reduces this to -2/-4 (with the 2nd one being the off-hand, choose yourself whether he is left or right handed). Ambidexterity nullifies the penalty for the off-hand, making it -2/-2, however the other weapon must be small I THINK

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">They only gain those 2 feats while wearing light or no armor. The secondary weapon being smaller than the primary weapon reduces its penalty by 2, but it does not have to be small.

I thought you didn't like chatting Online? How can RPing be any better? You lose all of the atmospheric effects that are half the experience... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif

Re: OT: am playing D&D light and am having fun
 
Hey there, all this talk about D&D has got me thinking about these games again. But I don't care much for the 3 edition modules that you can buy.

I used to like browsing on the web for small little dungeon crawls, and I'd spice them up with the rules our group used to use. But a Google search doesn't lead me to anything like that anymore. Anyone have any links?

[EDIT]

Oh, I did find the RPG Archive {here}, and I guess this d20 is sort of an open source FRP, this is kinda what I'm looking for. But I'm really more interested in more of the old stuff.
